Prom/Summer Ball Makeup 2014









So i don't know if I've ever said, but i am actually only 16, and therefore have FINALLY finished my GCSEs and completed all of my school years...actually quite upsetting.

Anyway, due to having successfully survived the last 4 years of constant work we, of course, had our end of school prom or summer ball.
(aka dress up and look as good as possible)

Being as obsessed with makeup and hair as i am i of course had to show you what i wore on my face, in my hair, and on myself.


EYES

To begin my makeup i primed my face with my MAC prep + prime which kept my makeup on from about 2pm-3am so it is AMAZING!

Next i primed my eyes with my Urban Decay eye primer (as i suffer from oily skin and eyelids this is an essential for me) which literally kept my eyeshadow on ALL night.

As my primer was sinking in and working its magic i began my eye makeup. I began with the MUA heaven and earth palette (cheapest, best makeup ever!) and picked the first shade which is a light champagne. I put this all over my lid with a flat eyeshadow brush.

I then opened up my beloved Naked palette and took 'Hustle' and placed it in the crease, i then blended this with my insane 217 blending brush (makeup essential!). I then added some 'Buck' to the crease to make the look warmer and blended that again to make sure there were no harsh edges.

To pull this look together, i did a winged liner look with my favourite eyeliner ever; Miss Sporty's waterproof liquid eyeliner (o m g can i just say how I'm so bad at eyeliner yet this makes it actually look okay ALSO its waterproof and with stands my oily eyelids and lasts ages! 
ITS SO CHEAP TOO!)

And finally added some of my favourite Eylure false eyelashes to create to illusion of full, long eyelashes!
i didn't apply any mascara to my bottom lashes at all.




FACE, BROWS AND LIPS

I filled in my brows with the fashionista eye brow kit (i think it has been discontinued unfortunately) and combed through them with a brow set from the Collection brow kit.

Now onto the face! 
I used my Real Techniques expert face brush to apply my MAC face and body foundation all over my face. I then applied a little bit of Collection lasting perfection concealer under my eyes and on any problem areas and blended using my foundation brush. 

To contour i used my trusty NARS orgasm and laguna duo. I used laguna under my cheek bones (to actually give me cheek bones) and then orgasm to create a subtle blush. Then i grabbed my Urban Decay face case in 'Shattered' and used the highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones to create a really natural glow.

To complete and mattify my face i took my amazing MAC mineralise skin finish in 'Light' and powdered all over to make sure i had no flashback in pictures!

And finally lips. I used my favourite lipstick; 'Lovelorn' by MAC.

MY HAIR



So, in my hair i had a headband with gorgeous floral and pearl detailing from Accessorize. I also have extensions in from Sally's which are 100% human hair.
I just loosely curled my hair, teased the crown and gripped it half up/half down. 

MY DRESS!


My amazing (what i like to call) 'Elsa' dress is from a small shop in Brighton, but the original make is Paparazzi by Mori Lee, and the dress is called: 95090 Beaded Chiffon Prom Gown. It actually came in many other colours included a beautiful mint colour!

I don't have a picture of my shoes, but they were platform court heels covered in a sparkly fabric, and they were from Next.




I think overall this look is natural enough for my age, but also enhances my eyes and makes me look warm and glowing without getting that horrible flashback in photos!

Here's some more pictures from my prom :-)
