Get ready with me - Prom!

So recently I went to my sixth form prom and I had to go out buying a new dress and planning everything I wanted to wear and do for this night. my first initial thoughts were aaahhhh HELP! but I had time to plan and it all turned out great in the end and I had a wonderful time with some great friends. I am going to show you how I got ready for prom and try to help you when getting ready for a night out.

Firstly I had to buy a new dress! I'm not a very dressy person so I thought of alternates which will work just as well. I actually ended up with a jump suit (trousers not shorts) which looked very smart and presentable and not to casual as I didn't want to be too dressy and look odd. I brought it in Topshop which made me think yes! I will be able to wear this again rather than just once. Remember to always buy something you intend on wearing again otherwise that is just a waste of money!

Then came the accessories and colour scheming. Luckily I had brought a black jumpsuit so I could choose any colour. I went for purple and clear because I had seen a beautiful clear purse which I wanted to take with me but this meant having stuff to take with me and knowing that people could see inside my bag. I looked around for different purple rings and other accessories and even looked at purple phone cases and lipsticks as I wanted everything to be perfect. Everything has to match otherwise it freaks me out :P The shoes were the hardest I looked round the whole of my local town and ended up at Bluewater which I nearly gave up on as I couldn't find what I was looking for. I had seen clear heeled shoes in irregular choice but they weren't quite right but then I stumbled across a pair of plat formed clear heeled shoes in Schuh and instantly knew they were the ones. they were slightly pricey but if they are right then ask your family if you are not independent for some help, I asked my mum and dad to go halves as prom is a once in a lifetime event and they said yes!

After buying my outfit I had to decide on how I wanted my hair and make-up. I am not very good when it comes to hair and make-up as I always go for the same boring natural look but my sister loves all of that so I got her to help me. she thought a nice tanned base with a soft pink lipstick, and a rosy cheek with a defined brow. When applying blusher start with a minimal amount to the apples of the cheeks you can find the apples by a big cheesy grin. you can always add more after as there is nothing worse than over blushed cheeks. Also when applying eye-liner be slow and steady to be sure you get a straight and even line to the top lash line.
