5 Natural Prom Looks That Will Look Gorgeous With Any Outfit

Soft Winged Eyeshadow

If you want the focus of your look to be on your eyes, give this soft winged eyeshadow look a try. It’s a more subtle take on classic winged eyeliner, but it’s just as effective at giving the eyes a lifted and defined look. 

To create the look, place a piece of tape angled up at the corners of your eyes and use a pencil eyeshadow brush to blend out a deep eyeshadow. Finish off with your favorite lip color and a coat of a volumizing mascara, like the Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara.

Fresh Skin and Glossy Lips

Some of the best prom makeup looks are the ones that accentuate your features in an understated way and allow your dress to steal the spotlight — especially if your dress is bold or bedazzled. 

Even out your complexion with a sweat-proof foundation and apply a mattifying setting powder, like the NYX Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Mattifying Powder, to shiny areas to ensure your makeup photographs well. Then, give your lips a glossy finish with the NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip in My Main.

Flushed Cheeks and Lips

If you ask us, the more blush the better. Make your cheeks the focal point of your makeup look applying a cream blush, like the MILK MAKEUP Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick, to your cheeks using your fingertips to melt in the product. You can also put a monochromatic spin on the look by blending it onto your lips too.

Colored Eyeliner

Believe it or not, it’s absolutely possible to play with color in a subtle fashion. If you want to add a fun little pop to your makeup while maintaining an overall natural look, try using colored eyeliner. You can add a simple line to your top or bottom lash line, or amp it up a bit by applying the color to both.
