In the Eye of the Beholder: The Definitive Guide to Looking Great at Prom

Nervous about prom? Follow these five suggestions, and you’ll look and feel beautiful on your big night.

Dress to Impress

The high-low dress is the perfect prom dress. It features a shorter cut in the front and a longer cut in the back. If you’re going for the casual look, throw on a pair of sandals. If you’re going for the dressier look, pair the outfit with some gold heels and gold jewelry. Accessorized with an interesting pair of shoes, this dress is a trendy and chic pick for prom.

Picture-Perfect Ponies

The ponytail is an amazing and versatile “updo” for prom. You could try the slicked back look or the loose and messy look. You could even add a headband! Ponytails that feature loose, bouncy curls are also really pretty. Years ago, Lauren Conrad started the french braid trend, as pictured on the left. This is flirty and elegant all at the same time.

Nailed It

Mani-pedis are on everyone’s agenda before prom. This spring, there are so many cool and vibrant colors that are trendy. Pastel green, hot fuchsia and neon tangerine are all going to be very popular in the next few months. Glitter is also very “in”this spring. Keep in mind that your nails don’t have to match your dress perfectly. Be yourself! Have fun with your nails and remember that the color you choose won’t last forever.

Pearly Whites

Prom means pictures, and pictures mean smiling. Whether you like it or not, people are going to notice your teeth. Don’t worry about whether your smile is bright enough — just pick up a pack of teeth-whitening stripes! While prom can be very expensive, these are definitely worth the money.

No Sun, No Problem

The week before prom, girls seems to magically “go on a vacation” and come back with skin that is several shades darker and more orange. If you don’t want to take a trip to the spray tan booth, just visit Achorns Pharmacy in downtownWestportand buy some Tan Towels. You simply rub the tan towel over your body, and your skin will suddenly gain more color and be streak-free.  Nothing feels better than looking in the mirror and not feeling washed-out and pasty before your big night!
