Prom Guide 101

One of the most exciting parts of the year for many teenage girls is sneaking it's way around the corner! We girls need to begin planning out what dress we are going to wear, what accessories we are going to put on, and my favorite part - what makeup look we will be wearing! This post is going to be all about COLOR!

Determining Your Undertones

This is the easiest way to determine which colors best suit your skin tone and what colors will bring out your beauty. Pull up your sleeve and look at the veins on your wrist! If you see blue veins, you most likely have a cool-toned undertone and will look better in cool-toned colors. If you look down and see green veins, it is because you are warm-toned and will look better in warm-toned colors! If you see both blue and green, that just means you are one of the lucky neutral ones and can pull off any color!

Take What You Know and Apply It To Other Areas

Dress Finding

Now that you know what undertone your skin has, it will be a lot easier to decide what color dress you want! 

Cool-toned ladies: Because cool-toned colors flatter your skin the most, blues, greens and purples are your best option.

Warm-toned ladies: Because warm-toned colors flatter your skin the most, reds, oranges, and yellows will be your best option!

Neutral ladies: Both warm-toned and cool-toned colors will flatter your skin tone.

Accessory Picking

If you are the type of person that likes to wear accessories, it's an awesome idea to know what undertone your skin carries. Your skin tone can make certain colors look amazing and it's nice to know which colors those are.

Cool-toned ladies: If you are cool-toned, silver accessories will flatter you the best.

Warm-toned ladies: If you are warm-toned, gold accessories will flatter you.

Neutral ladies: Gold and silver are your best friends!

Makeup Deciding

After you have everything decided, from your dress down to your accessories, the makeup is your last decision! If you are doing your makeup yourself, it's always hard to pick what look you want to achieve or what colors you will use. Just like when it comes to dress findings and accessory picking, the eye shadow you choose to wear should be chosen based on your undertone! 

Cool-toned ladies: I would go for a look with shades of grey such as charcoal, pewter, or even go for a black smokey eye. Of course you can use any other cool-toned color as well such as blue or purple.

Warm-toned ladies: Shades of brown, red, and orange will best suit your look!

Neutral ladies: Any color you desire, but make sure it matches your dress!

Always remember that there are no rules in the beauty or fashion world! It is always your decision on what you choose to wear. You can rock any color in the world if you prove it with your confidence!
