Perfect Skin
Spotty, oily skin could ruin an otherwise perfect prom, so your preparations should begin well in advance of the big night. Make sure you drink plenty of water to flush out impurities, and embark upon a thorough cleansing, toning and moisturising regime.
Avoid over cleansing too close the the actual night, as that tends to irritate the skin and produce a red rough appearance. A couple of days before, only employ a mild facial cleanser twice daily, to keep face clean and fresh.
When it comes to choosing foundation, the most important factor is to find one that matches your skin tone. To do this, go foundation shopping in natural daylight, and test foundation against your jaw line, not the backs of your hands! The skin on your hands won't necessarily be the same color as the skin on your face, so make sure you don't make this common mistake! Apply a couple of shades on your face near your jaw, take a mirror and head outside to double check the perfect color to match your neck.
Next, research that your foundation matches your skin type. If you have oily skin, you'll want to select a matte foundation that will soak up extra moisture; if you're lucky enough to have dewy skin already, a light, shimmery foundation will be all you'll need.
For an event like a prom, you may also want to try out a skin-highlighting product such as Benefit's High Beam, or Revlon's Skinlights. These give your skin that dewy, fresh look - straight out of the bottle!
