It's one of the most special days of high school: prom. It's an opportunity to throw on that fancy dress, get pampered, and rock an extravagant, killer makeup look. And between all of the photos and dancing the night away, a glam face is a must to really set off your entire look. While we still have a few months until that highly anticipated season rolls around, it will be here sooner than we know it, and we want to make sure that you're prepared.
Ahead, check out 10 stunning makeup looks that you should consider for the big night this year.
Pink Liner and Glitter
This artist credits Huda Beauty with basically the entirety of this look. Instead of the typical black liner, she opted for a pink liner that created a lid at the lash line and surrounded the perimeter. For the lid, she let the pink do the talking, adding glitter for even more glam.
Purple Cut-Crease
Now this is what we call a cut crease! The seamless transition from hot pink to purple make this look a guaranteed showstopper. In this MUA's case, she paired it with a sleek mauve tone, but we have a feeling this eye will look amazing with any pink-hued lip.
Bronzed Glam
Who said you needed deep shadows for a smoked-out look? In this case, all the artist needed was a mesmerizing gold and lots of black eyeliner to make it happen. Finished off with a wispy lash, sharp contour, and beautiful nude combo, this look is the perfect prom showstopper for sure.
Flirty Smoky
So does this mean that pink liner is the new makeup trend? It looks like it is, and we must admit, we're loving the look. In this instance, the makeup artist created a deep gray smoky lid with a bold lash. To finish the look, she incorporated a sheer pink liner and a glamorous yet subtle contour.
Blue Galore
We're pretty certain that if mermaids had a signature eye look, this would be it. With several shades of blue blended together, creating its own wing toward the tail of the brow, it's the ideal eye for a neutral dress look that's craving a little color.
Dreaming of Lavender
If you're going for an ethereal look, but don't want to do the typical white, here it is. The beautiful lavender look that was spotted on Dove Cameron was simple and understated yet so, so glamorous.
Emerald Queen
We all know that emerald is one of the most regal colors there is, and the same goes for when it's on the eyes. Makeup Shayla deepened her eyes with this mesmerizing look that included flecks of gold for added elegance.
Rainbow Liners
This year, don't shy away from color. Makeup artist Keita Moore surely never does. For this incredible look, he created a purple halo eye, with a metallic blue underliner and lime green liner on the lash line. There's no doubt a look like this will turn heads.
The Classic
A red lip is always a staple, but this year takes the look to the next level. With a super-contoured eye and super-contoured skin, the hue will make you the belle of the ball.
Reflective Lids
You can't talk about head-turning makeup looks without mentioning Mario Dedivanovic. Kim Kardashian's makeup artist crafted this incredible pink look that almost appeared glossy under the light.
