Prom.
What a stressful time.
I remember being so stressed for my prom, and spending months trying to find the perfect
dress and the perfect makeup.
So I thought I would do a video on my tips and tricks of how to deal with prom.
Tip number 1
Use a tailor and take pictures to find your perfect dress.
For me, on prom, I ended up buying this amazing Betsy Johnson dress that was really expensive
and really extravagant
and I never ended up wearing it.
Basically I was looking for a dress that was different from what everyone else would be
wearing
but I wasn't really thinking about what I felt good in
and that was my biggest mistake. So I ended up wearing a thirty dollar dress from Victoria
Secret that I felt a lot better in.
So that would be my tip for you: is to find a dress
and if it is, you know, a less expensive dress, whether it's from Forever 21 or what-have-you,
and you feel like it kind of doesn't fit right,
seek out a tailor and make those small adjustments so that you feel awesome in it.
And my second tip is if you're going on a day with your mom and- or dad!
Sometimes they're good at picking out dresses too.
And you have a day of just- dedicated to just prom dress shopping
make sure to take pictures of all your finalists that way you can flip through at the end of
the day and be like,
'Oh yeah. That's the one that is the winner.'
Tip number two, plan your makeup and hair beforehand.
Now I know you guys are already doing this and probably
researching months before of what you want to do
this is what I do:
I look on Pinterest, find the exactly hair and makeup that I want,
and then I look on YouTube for the tutorials of how to do it,
and I definitely suggest trying out the whole thing beforehand just so that the night of
you're not left wiping your face of makeup and starting all over again.
I've definitely been there.
Tip number three: prep the week before.
So I like to do a good exfoliation
and some sunless tanning cream two days before a big event
and that full week I like to drink a lot of water and get lots of sleep,
even though you're probably not going to be able to sleep because you're so excited.
Try.
Um, and I think it's essential for, you know, having awesome, glowing, amazing skin for
the night of.
Also if you're going to get your eyebrows shaped for the big night,
I've never had to deal with this because I don't have any eyebrows,
but if you are, I'd say do that a week beforehand so you're not kind of
trying to tone down the red skin the night of.
Tip number four: wear in those shoes.
I know personally I have one pair of shoes that fit me well and I go out in these all
the time.
Doesn't matter where I'm going, I'm wearing these shoes, because I know my feet won't
be hurting at the end of the day.
It's a little bit ridiculous, because I own eight hundred pairs of shoes and wear
one.
So I would suggest finding a pair of shoes that are really, really comfortable and wear
them in before. And wear them around the house, you know, watch some movies in your prom shoes.
Why not? It sounds kind of fun actually. Maybe I'll do that tonight.
So it's definitely essential because you don't want to be going halfway through the night
with sore feet and you're not able to dance.
Because let's face it -
the best part of prom is the dancing.
Tip number five: pack the essentials.
So in my prom purse, or any event that I'm going to really, I always make sure to have
bobby pins in case your 'do starts to fall out,
safety pins because I'm always having wardrobe malfunctions. All the time! I don't know what
it is.
Maybe I'm just clumsy, but I'm always ripping something or something's coming unbuttoned,
or whatever
so I always have safety pins in my purse just to,
you know,
save myself from some of the embarrassment
And I would also carry some lipgloss in my purse.
You guys know that I am a big fan of no-fuss makeup so I would do a stain on my lips and
then just carry a little lipgloss add a little
sparkle and something extra.
