So as many of you may or may not know it has been Prom season over the last couple of weeks. I officially left high school around a month ago but my Prom wasn't until last Friday, the 28th June 2013. I thought that a blogpost would be a good thing to look back on and also an opportunity to show anyone that will look my dress, shoes and bag (which I am all absolutely in love with!)
I had my dress made by a lovely dressmaker in Liverpool called Tanya Maxwell. She owns her own shop in the city centre and is extremely talented. My shoes and bag are from Kurt Geiger and I just fell in love with them as soon as I saw them! They have crystals and spikes all over the wedges and front of the bag which makes them elegant yet edgy.
On the day of prom I got my hair and nails done professionally but I did my own makeup. I started off using my Urban Decay pore perfecting face primer and then applied my MAC studio fix foundation and concealer to stop any redness and conceal my spots. I then applied my Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion to keep my eyeshadow on through the night. I mixed my two MAC pigments 'Melon' and 'Copper Sparkle' to create the perfect yellow based gold to match my prom dress. I applied that with a dense brush to the outer part of my eyelids and underneath. I then used 'Blackout' in the Naked 2 palette which is a very dark, matte black and applied that to the outer corner and created a 'winged effect'. I blended the black in with the gold and applied the black a couple more times to make it darker. I also applied it underneath my eyes and blended it with the gold. Finally I applied 'Half Baked' from the Naked 2 palette on top of the gold to make it even more yellow based. To finish I contoured and highlighted my face and applied 'Creme Cup' by MAC to create my Prom look.
