3 MONTHS BEFORE

If you're looking to get into shape or tone up for prom, it is high time to start exercising and eating healthy.

Make sure you take extra care of yourself - exfoliate your skin weekly and start a good facial regimen if you haven't already. Also, don't forget to moisturise your skin and drink plenty of water to achieve a healthy glow on your face.

Know Your Shape

First of all, determine your body shape and decide which style will cover your imperfections and highlight your best features. An A-line skirt is universally flattering for all body types; a maxi dress is a great option if you want to hide your legs and draw attention to the upper body. 

Plan Ahead

It is always better to prepare in advance and have peace of mind knowing that your dream dress is already hanging in your closet. Don't leave your shopping for the last minute! Consider visiting online boutiques such as Evening Dresses UK for a wide selection of designs and affordable prices.

Things to Remember

Makeup, hair, and accessories can make or break the look. Don't forget to pay attention to details. Is your nail polish matching your outfit? Is your complexion looking radiant and healthy? How are you going to style your hair?

Be Yourself

Make sure that you always feel comfortable in everything you wear. That's far more important that strictly following all the fashion rules. The ideal prom dress should not only suit your body type, but also match your personality and your fashion style.

Did You Know?

Tulle has been around for more than three centuries.

"This versatile fabric was named for the city of Tulle, France where it was first made. The French began knitting a hexagonal mesh fabric around 1700. In 1840, Queen Victoria's wedding gown featured tulle for the first time, forever linking the fabric to bridal fashion. Nineteenth century fashion designer Frederic Worth introduced the veiled hat. Tulle enjoyed a resurgence in the 1950s in formal gowns for teens going to the prom, brides and bridesmaids." - ehow.com

MAKEUP TIPS

Keep your look fresh and natural. If you decide to highlight your eyes, use only lip gloss for your lips and a small amount of blush for your cheeks; choose pastel peach or delicate pink - depending on your complexion. You can also go for a sexy red lipstick look which never goes out of fashion.

Remember to get plenty of sleep before your night out and always stay hydrated. Drinking sufficient amounts of water is one of the best things you can do for your skin. For more tips how to keep your complexion radiant and glowing, please click here and here. Enjoy your party!
