More than half of high school students go to their prom, whether with dates or their group of friends. With excitement over this momentous occasion, most guys and girls want to look their best. With so much to think about, it can be difficult to figure out where to get started. The three tips below are simple yet effective ways to attend your prom with confidence knowing that you look like your best self!
1. Get a Spray Tan
A tan can make anyone look healthier, slimmer, and glowing. However, tanning out in the sun can take weeks or even months to show. An easier alternative is to get a spray tan. Not only does this eliminate the risk of exposure to UV rays, it works immediately. You’ll see results as soon as the tan is complete and it will continue to deepen for at least 24 hours.
Work with your local tanning professional to determine what color formulation is right for your skin tone and the look you’re going for. A custom spray tan is worth the investment, as the person spraying can make sure all areas are covered evenly.
2. Invest in Eyelash Extensions
Longer eyelashes can make your eyes pop and give you a glam look for the night. The prom is the perfect occasion to try eyelash extensions out! There are a wide variety of styles to choose from, so you can work with a professional to figure out what works best for your eye shape and the look you want.
From subtle to dramatic, there are many lashes that can be combined to create the look you like. What’s even better is that extensions stay on for weeks and are much more comfortable than glue-on lashes. You’ll be able to wear them for a while without any discomfort or wanting to rip them off like traditional lashes.
3. Make Sure Your Outfit is Comfortable
The dress, skirt, top, pantsuit, or whatever you choose to wear is probably the piece you’re most excited about. However, it’s important to keep in mind that if you’re wearing something uncomfortable, it’s likely going to bother you throughout the night. This can make you feel less than your best, even if you truly love the outfit and the way it looks on you.
Search for something that you can feel comfortable in for a long period of time. Even your shoes should be comfortable so you can dance and walk around without any pain. It’s worth it to find something you’ll enjoy wearing and won’t want to take off from the second you put it on.
