A Look Back: Prom

For many people prom is coming up so I though why not do a post on what I wore? My prom was last May so I know my dress can no longer be bought but hopefully this post can help people with their makeup, hair and style of dress!

Ignore the horrible eyebrows, this is before I grew them out ha ha! I done my makeup myself on the day, expect from my eyelashes which were semi permanent and were meant to last two weeks (try two days!). For my eye makeup I used my Sleek Storm Palette and created a neutral smokey eye. I also tried to create very glowy skin on top of my fake tan so I used High Beam highlighter from Benefit. I also used lots of bronzer to contour! I didn't have my lipstick on in this photo but I wore Darling by Gosh.

I went to a local hairdressers to get my hair done and all I told them was that I wanted something to the side. I added in some extensions also as my hair at the time was very short and thin. I think she did a good job, it was very unique!

When looking for a dress I knew I wanting something neutral with lace on the top. As I couldn't find this I came to a compromise with pink/red as I loved the lace on this dress so much. It was from Oasis, which is a great place to shop for dresses! I've also seen loads of nice ones on Missguided recently. My necklace was something like £2 from Ebay and was just a thin gold collar one. For my shoes I went with nude heels that I already owned (I totally spent my prom shoes money on other shoes) I match this with a nude over sized clutch from New Look. My boyfriend wore a tie to match my dress colour, this was difficult as it was hard to tell if my dress was pink or red!
