Wish you could steal some of your favorite hair and makeup secrets from celebrities just in time for prom? Well, now you can! Here are some tips to stealing those looks and doing it yourself.
Smoky/Dramatic Eyes:
Wondering how to get a smoky-eyed look? If you want to go dramatic with your eye-makeup and are not too sure how to do it, here are some steps to help you out. First, the biggest mistake girls tend to make is to use a black eye shadow. Although celebrities and models look great with this look in magazines, it may be a little too dramatic for this special event. Instead, try colors like deep green, plum, or deep chocolate. Once you have chosen a shade, apply color from upper lashes and up to the crease line. Apply the same shadow color beneath the eye (at your low lashes). Finally, finish with black or brown mascara applied to the top of the eyelid.
The "J.Lo Glow":
Want to add some touches of shimmering color to your face? We suggest first going out and choosing a light pink highlighting cream. Once chosen, apply it from your lash line to brow (right above the eyebrow) and to the top of your cheekbones (this will create a triangular shape). Lightly dust powder bronzer onto cheeks. To add more definition to this look, use a clear, light pink, or light plum lip-gloss.
Hair Extensions:
Tired of having the same hairstyle every time a school event takes place? Prom is the perfect time to do something different with your hair. Jennifer Aniston, Beyonce, and Britney are a few of Hollywood's favorites who are all about hair extensions. By adding some length, color, or volume, you are definitely going to create a great look and do it affordably. Department stores and beauty supply stores carry the do-it-yourself hair extensions. They offer you a variety of options and come with clips that you can just clip-on to the base of your ponytail. Whether you keep them straight, curl them, or braid them, this is a sure way to get a look that you have been dreaming of!
DIY Facial:
The celebs get these treatments all the time to keep them looking great and healthy. Here are the steps to getting the same results.
1. Wash face with a mild soap or cleanser.
2. Ex foliate with a gentle grain scrub.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cover.
4. Turn burner off and let water sit for 5-10mins.
5. Use a towel to cover your head and hold your face about 10 inches from water pot for about 5-10 minutes. The steam will soften your pores and make it easier for the dirt to extract.
6. Wipe face with a clean and warm washcloth that is rung out.
7. If your skin is oily, we suggest you also you a clay or mud mask at this time.
8. Rinse with cold water to close your pores back up.
7. And finally, moisturize with a light facial lotion.
Celeb Hairstyle:
Trying to figure out the best hairstyle to go with your dress? The 2007 Golden Globes were a great sneak-peek to trendy hairstyles and their relevance to what style of dress they wore.
Beyonce and Reese Witherspoon opted for sleek sedu-straight locks. If your dress is modern, this is a great match.
Sheryl Crow and Jennifer Hudson went for loose, long curls. This is great for a romantic or classic styled gown.
Jessica Biel and Eva Longoria both had messy updos that worked perfectly with their graceful gowns. The hairstyle and gown offset each other and the overall effect was stunning!
Hayden Panetierre and Vanessa Minnillo were voted top with their choice of cascading half-updos . This style can work with almost any gown.
