You’ve picked out a gorgeous prom dress, and found the perfect shoes to match. Dinner reservations have been set, and maybe, you’ve even booked a limo. The final step before dancing the night away is deciding on the makeup you’ll don to tie your whole prom look together. If you’re needing some inspiration, here are some of our favorite prom makeup trends in 2022:
“No-Makeup” Makeup
If effortlessly breathtaking is what you’re after, the “no-makeup” makeup look will help you attain that fresh-faced radiance you’re dreaming of. This trending style relies on neutral tones and minimal coverage to result in glowing skin, bright eyes, and allows your natural beauty to take center stage at prom.
Smoky
On the opposite end of the spectrum, smoky makeup creates alluring, dramatic prom looks through the use of dark eyeshadows, sharp eyeliner, and intentional definition of each of your facial features. This look makes your eyes pop, and pairs well with a set of fluffy false lashes and a bold lip.
Editorial
By definition, ‘editorial’ refers to something you would see in print, like in a magazine or on a billboard. In recent years, the term has been popularly used to describe looks that are visually striking, especially in a way that alludes to high fashion. As such, editorial makeup is characterized by ultramodern and unique applications of color, lines, and design. To achieve this en-vogue appeal, opt for unexpected eyeliner styles, bright eyeshadows, or three-dimensional appliqués, such as gemstones or glitter.
