Prom Makeup


Hi guys! So, I had my prom last night and it was actually a really nice night with my friends and it was a lovely way to end the high school era! 

So, I thought I'd share with you the makeup look that I did for last night! It all stayed on so well too even though I was sweating because it was so hot in there, so expect some reviews of some of the new products featured here coming up soon!

I'm not going to go into too much detail here about each product but I will be doing reviews so just keep your eyes peeled! 

The first thing I did was use some essential water and moisturiser to treat my skin a little bit before I put any makeup on it.

I applied a small amount of Bare Minerals Prime Time Foundation Primer to my skin. This is a really good primer also, so I recommend it if you are looking for a new primer!

This is a venture into something new for me...powder foundation! But I have to say, the Bare Minerals Original has been very nice to me the few times I have used it so far. Full review to come soon!

And again with another Bare Minerals product, the Mineral Veil Loose Powder. Another amazing product, might even be better than Rimmel Stay Matte...

And a product that we all know that I live by! The Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer has been my best friend for a few months now. A very small amount of this under my eyes does the perfect job!


This is 'Warmth' by Bare Minerals, which as you can see is a very, VERY dark bronzer. I only used a very small amount of this on the hollows of my cheeks and around my chin and down the side of my face to shape the face a little more.

For blusher I went for Estee Lauder's '08 Peach Passion' and I just lightly brushed this over the apples of my cheeks.

For the particular look I went for at prom, Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in 'Sin' was the best match. I also can't recommend the Primer Potions enough, absolutely amazing products!

My gorgeous NAKED palette, will forever be my one true love.

The first colour I used for this look was 'Toasted' and I applied this all over the lid.

After that, I went for 'Hustle' for my crease and in the outer corner to create a bit of a smoked out effect.

I then went to 'Sidecar' and I just brushed this over the whole lid as well. This doesn't really do much to the look but I think it gives it a lighter effect as it's slightly lighter than the other colours I used in this look.

And finally I went to 'Virgin' for my inner corner highlight. This for me is the perfect colour for an inner corner highlight, and I think many people who own this palette will agree with me on that!

I hadn't done winged eyeliner for about 2 months when I did this tutorial so I wasn't sure how well it was going to go, it went okay though! One of my favourite eyeliners, brilliant if you are starting out with winged eyeliner as it is such easy application.

Another product I have been loving and have a review scheduled for! Estee Lauder's Sumptuous Extreme mascara. There was no need for false lashes with this bad boy! 

And now for lips! I went with my e.l.f Shimmer Gloss in 'Make a Wish'. I think this is a really lovely and very simple colour but it gives a gorgeous glossy effect, definitely prom worthy! 

And here's a pic of me applying the lipgloss because, well why not!?
Now you can enjoy some selfies that I had every joy in taking to show off the gorgeous look that I am very proud of!











I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I hope you liked the look! There will be plenty more posts about my prom coming up so keep your eyes peeled for more! 

I was also contacted by Hello Magazine earlier on today and they were asking if I had any questions for Michelle Keegan as they had seen my post on her wedding the other week and they are hosting a live Twitter interview with her tomorrow at 6pm. So, I've sent in my questions so now all you need to do, is head over to Twitter and tweet @hellomag and use the hashtag '#HELLOMichelle' with all of your questions! If you would like to read my post on Michelle and Mark's wedding, you can do so here.

Love, Becca
-xoxo

  3. The Naked Palette looks so nice, I've heard so many bad things about the benefit push up liner though?

    1. The palette is fab. I think the liner is kind of a love hate thing. I personally love it, but it depends on your personal preference I think. I think that it would be great for someone starting out in winged eyeliner because it gives you a lot of control and it's very easy to use. Some people may say that it can be quite hard to get onto the lid and I do know what they mean by that because if you don't wipe the top before using it you get all of the dried out product mixed with the new product x

    1. It really was, wen't super with my dress as well! I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time, it's all so exciting! It's taking me some getting used to but I do really like the coverage and it stays on all day too which is really good obviously. I do still switch back to my liquid foundation though! xx
