uh oh.
Well ladies, Prom is upon us – mine is next Saturday, THAT’S A WEEK FROM TODAY!! I have nothing planned out! I haven’t even bought the dress yet. I’m doing hair at home, and probably just wearing my kicks. (Chucks, baby. Love that Pretty Punk look.) What is everyone else doing?? I picked a dress, but it’s from UO and the nearest one to me is 100 miles away, and I don’t have enough time to ship it anymore. So now I’m back to square one. 
let’s talk hair and makeup, shall we?
So I posted my way of doing Prom for less earlier, but realized I left y’all hnging when it came to hair and makeup! Of course, you’re probably in a dilemma similar to mine. Can’t do what you did last year, but stuck figuring out what to do now? Well ladies, it’s your lucky day, because I double as the Fairy Godmother in my spare time..
Hair!
1) Great for long straight hair. I’m no hair expert, but here’s what I’d do. Start blowing it out with a round brush, making parts wavy and leaving others straight. Take a straightner to the bangs and spray it all, and you’ll be good to go!
2) For long, long, long hair. Blow it out, curl it all over, and run your fingers through it to break up the curls (A LOT). Take two sections from around your face, pin them back and straighten the bangs to the side. Voila!
3) The Side ‘do! For long hair. Blow it out over to one side, I’d probably flip my head to the side. Use a huge curling iron on big sections, pin some sections of hair in the back to keep it to the right side, and spray. SPRAY! Important. How’s it ever gunna stay like that on its own?
4) You’d need really really long hair for this one. Dry it with lots of curling product. Use a tiny curling iron all over your head, inlist the help of your mom, sister and crazy aunt to get the back and underneath curled. Spray the curls whilst curling. (Fun sentence.) Seperate hair into sections, pull back the right, left and bottom sides, pin them back toward the back of your hair (loosely behind your ears), tease the top section and pin it into the back. Spray!
5) Scrunch while drying, flat iron sections, tease a little, and slap on a headband with a giant flower. How much easier does it get than that?! (freepeople.com for headband.)
6) Dry with curling product, curl sections with a small iron. Pull back into a ponytail, leaving some pieces out. Twist pony into a loose bun and pin. Bring back some loose pieces and pin. Leave it messy and spray.

Makeup!
1) Glitter Eyes. Sephora makes a kit (Yes, a KIT with instructions and everything!) that takes you through all the steps it takes. ( http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P222601&categoryId=B70#) And it’s only $38 and comes with all the makeup.
2) Pink Pink Lips! Benefit is tried and true. “Do Tell” is cute. Pair with light liquid liner on the top lids, for a fresh cute look. Great with simple hair!
3) Pink Cheeks. Simple makeup paired with bright pink cheeks – adorable! (As seen at Estrella Archs in Paris.)
4) Shimmery Shadow. (Seen at Jill Stuart SS09 in NYC.) I’d go liquid shadow first, powder shadow on top. IMO you could do this in any light shade and it would look FIERCE. I like the Bare Escentuals shadows (I own them in almost every shade!) and at $13 a pot, you can try them all ’till you find your shade 
5) Nude everything. (Seen at Rag & Bone.) I love Clinique’s lipsticks. I think the color is Barely There, (I’m not in my makeup bag ATM) and it’s the kind in the green tube. It’s Great!! Brown shadows add subtle color to your face while still looking “nude”.
6) Smudgy Liner. Try Benefit’s. Line all around the eyes, especially the inner rims and deep into the lashline. Bring the liner out a little further than you usually would and smudge with your finger. Cute!
Well there you have it! Everything you’ll ever need for hair and makeup for your big Prom Night. Enjoy!
