Prom Makeup, Nails, Hair, and Accessories

Hello Beautifuls,

Long time no see. I have been granted to take a couple days off work so I'm having a long weekend to relax. Things are busy as usual, we are still short staffed, and I've been putting in extra hours at work which is why my blog has been in the back burner.
I was busy Friday and yesterday prepping for my daughter's prom. I think I was just as excited as they are.
I did my daughter's hair, makeup, and corsage. She did her own nails. I also did her friend's makeup. On top of that, I also played the photographer briefly. Getting two girls ready for prom, especially when you DIY will take you hours. Continue reading for details on the makeup, hair, nails, and accessories. If you'd like to see the photoshoot and additional prom pictures, please visit my other blog HERE.

Vanessa's Makeup

Because her dress doesn't really have much color, I decided to go with fuchsia lips and bright fuchsia roses of the corsage to add a pop of color and contrast. I did a cut crease eye makeup with a dark plum eyeshadow on the crease and sparkly gold eyeshadow on the lids. 

What she's wearing:

• Cheeks - Tarte Park Ave Princess bronzer, Estee Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush  X-pose Rose, Sephora + Pantone Color of the year Blush Duo, and NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator.
• Eyes 
• LORAC Behind The Scenes eye primer 
• MAC paint pot Indian Wood 
• Sleek i-Divine Ultra Mattes V2 Villan on the crease with Urban Decay Black Out from Naked 2 palette
• Urban Decay Booty Call (Naked 2) on the brow bone
• Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
• ELF Golden mineral eyeshadow mixed with MAC Reflects Gold glitter
• Physicians Formula Eye Booster liquid liner ultra black (upper lash line)
• Flower Easy on the Eyes Long Wear Eyeliner Aubergine (lower lash line)
• Urban Decay Glide-On Shadow Pencil Sin (lower lash line)
• ELF natural false eyelashes
• Illamasqua Cream Eye Shadow Intrude and Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel Espresso on brows
• Lips - Milani Color Statement Lip Liner 08 Fuchsia and Bite Beauty Quince

Hair

For Vanessa's hair, I followed the tutorial below. I'm hopeless when it comes to hair and the video tutorial make it look so easy. Well, for me it was actually harder than it looked. I have yet to master the art of hair braiding. I ended up braiding all her hair. Including the middle section. I guess I didn't do too bad I think. 

Nails

Vanessa decided to use a black nail polish and do a gold glitter gradient to go with her dress. She used Deborah Lippmann Glitter and Be Gay for this nail look.

Vanessa's Corsage

I purchased black and gold ribbons from Michaels, along with floral wires and a stretchy beaded bracelet. Also, I purchased a bouquet of flowers from the local grocery store. I still find making your own corsage challenging but if you just finagle with it, you can make it work.

Jewelries

I can't be certain where we purchased the ring. I think it's either Forever 21 or Icing. Otherwise, the earrings ($16.50), bracelets ($14.50) and tiara ($14.50) were all purchased at Icing. Initially, she was reluctant with wearing a tiara but this one is small and cutesy so eventually she was fine with it.

Mindy's hair and Makeup

I did a loose side french braid on the top and secured with a hair clip and she then made some loose curls with the curling iron. 

For her makeup, I decided to do a soft smoky eye look with some sparkles on the eyes as well. 

What she's wearing:

• Cheeks - Tarte Park Ave Princess bronzer, Milani Baked blush Fantastico Mauve, and  NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator.
• Eyes
• LORAC Behind The Scenes eye primer 
• Milani ShadowEyez Espresso Line as base
• theBalm Matte Ramirez and Violet from IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty palette on the crease
• Urban Decay Black Out from Naked 2 palette on the outer V
• Love from IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty palette on the brow bone
• Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy
• Fyrinnae Shenanigans on the lids
• Urban Decay 24-7 Glide On eye pencil Black Market on the upper lash line
• Urban Decay 24-7 Glide On eye pencil West on the lower lash line
• Urban Decay Glide-On Shadow Pencil Sin (lower lash line)
• Illamasqua Cream Eye Shadow Intrude and Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel Espresso on brows
• False eyelashes

• Lips - Revlon Superlustrous Violet Frenzy

Whew...I'm done. It was fun getting the girls dolled up. I wanna go see Godzilla now :D

What did you enjoy most about Prom? Did you do hair, nails, and makeup yourself or did you get professional help?
