CUPID’S COMPLEXION
If only I had TikTok to guide me through my prom look. Swapping the crown for a halo, I would opt for the angelic skin trend. Think: shimmering skin, cherub-flushed cheeks, and subtle sparkles swept across your eyelids. Keeping with the heavenly theme, I would take the look one step further and compliment it with Cherub Lips – it is prom night after all. –
Cue the heavens and glisten all night long by following the steps below:
Start by creating a seamless base. Follow your cleansing routine with a hydrating serum that leaves you with a dewy glow. Our go to? Drunk Elephant’s B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum. After this, mix a lightweight foundation (like IT Cosmetics CC+ And Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation And Glow Serum With SPf40) with Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops and apply to XX face. Next comes the blush. Use Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand, applying it high on your cheekbones. Blend thoroughly until you achieve a soft pinkish hue. For your eyes, use Róen’s Disco Eye palette. Swirl your fingertip in a circular motion to activate the pigment. Then, using your fingertip, directly apply the colour to your eyelids. Finally, finish the look with a cupid pout. Use Too Faced’s Lip Injection Extreme Lip Shaper to overline the centre of your lips. Slowly drag the pencil from the corners of your moth down to the centre of your bottom and upper lip.

DRAPED BLUSH
Bring the drama to the dancefloor with a pop of colour by following the below.
Once you’ve finished your skin care routine (we’re talking cleansing and moisturising), apply a light layer of foundation or tinted moisturiser. Products like Pixi’s H2O Skintint help the blush to stick, giving it a longer lasting effect. Now it’s time to select your shade. It is important to ensure that the shade you’re using pairs well with the rest of your prom make up look. If you’re wearing warm tones on your eyes and lips, it’s best to compliment it with a neutral shade on your cheeks. Lightly apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks. If your blush has a powder texture it’s best to use a brush, but if you’re using a creamy formula apply with a sponge for optimum results. Build the look and create the illusion of contouring by working up your way towards your temples, ending at the highest point of your cheek bones, just under the outer corners of your eyes. To make your look bigger, brighter, and bolder, blend the blush into your eyeshadow. With Spectrum Collections’ MA06 Marble Large Fluffy Shader Brush mix your blush seamlessly into the creases of your eye and connect it with the colours previously applied on your temples. Finally, to keep the powerful pigment in place all night long, set your look with Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray.
