My first picture tutorial! I'm going to be doing my friend's makeup for prom this weekend and I decided to practice on myself. I ended up taking pictures at every step for a little how-to. This took more work that I thought, haha. Hope you like! I think neutral smokey eyes are perfect for prom. They're dramatic enough to show up in photos and they'll match any color dress.
Some quick tips for prom..
- Avoid using products with high SPF since they can give your face a white cast in photos.
- Use a lip stain instead of lipstick- they're long lasting, so less touch ups are needed.
- Set your makeup with a makeup setting spray, like Urban Decay's all nighter.
- Have fun and take lots of pictures!
For tutorial purposes, I'll name the shadows in the palette that I used.
1. Light beige
2. Medium brown
