Hey Guys,
In preparation for my Prom I tried out many different makeup ideas but this one was my favourite and the one I decided to wear on my Prom night. I wanted to show you guys to give you some ideas for your Prom or and evening out with your friends. Do what you will with this tutorial, change it up as much as you want but I hope you find it helpful.
Now to do this tutorial you don't need the brands that I used and you could even decide to use completely different colours, as I have chosen to go with pinks and golds, but you could decide to go towards silver or bronze.
The first step in any eye makeup tutorial is to make sure you have your primer, concealer, foundation or BB cream on already before you start, as you don't want to cake your freshly stuck eyelashes with foundation. Personally I have very fair skin so I find it really hard to get the ride shade without it looking orange. If you have this same problem I have also listed the skin products that I use below, including moisturiser, primer, concealer and foundation.
(Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser, Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Primer 002, Maybelline New York New Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Lightweight Primer, Seventeen Stay Time Concealer in Extra Fair and Rimmel London Match Perfection Light Perfecting Radiance Foundation in Light Porcelain)
Okay so now you've got all your skin done it's now time to do the eyes. To start off you need to make sure there is no remaining mascara or eyeliner from the day before as this can create an uneven appearance. Now for the next step I curl my eyelashes to make them stand out more but some people choose not to or already have naturally curled lashes so this step is optional.
The next step is the first coat of mascara, I say first coat because I tend to put on a sort of base coat at the start to build up as I like my lashes to stand out and be thick and long. You will also need to put another coat on later to blend the fake eyelashes with your real ones.
I then put on a fairly thin coat of eyeshadow because I prefer it to be more subtle but the amount you chose to put on is up to you. For this I use the 17 eyes in Funfair with the detailer brush from realTechniques by Samantha Chapman, but if you don't have any type of brush your finger will work just as well.
This next step is a bit trickier because you need to cut and glue your fake eyelashes on. I only use the outer corner half as I usually cut them up so that they are more comfortable to wear and appear more natural. Hopefully on the photos below you can see where I stuck the eyelashes, which is the outer half of my eye, where my lashes appear darker and fuller. Also be careful with how much glue you decide to use as this can effect how hard they are to get off afterwards.
Now you need to grab your eyeliner and draw a very thin, dark line from where your lashes start to where they finish, and could could get thicker as you head towards the outer corner of your eye. This step is just to help hide the thick, black line that helps to hold the eyelashes together. After you've done the black eyeliner you can then use the Barry M Bold Bronze Waterproof Eyeliner to draw a line just above where you've drawn the black eyeliner line, be careful not to touch the black eyeliner line as it can easily get smudged!
The last step is completely optional as you may decide you like your eyes as they are but you can also use the Barry M eyeliner to draw a faint line underneath your bottom lashes, from the outer corner of your eye to about halfway through your eye, this just helps to add a little more sparkle.
And now your done! I hope you love your gorgeous eyes just as much as I enjoyed making this tutorial for you guys. I just want you to keep in mind that I have no training in beauty or makeup, it is just a hobby.
