For your prom, you want to look your absolute best. You want your skin to look flawless and the makeup colors you wear, to highlight your best features and downplay your less flattering ones.
At this age, chances are you will need to mask some sort of skin blemish, so you will need to wear a foundation with good coverage. If you are blessed with naturally flawless skin, then by all means wear a sheer liquid foundation. It will keep you matte and shine free for hours.
If you have problem skin, then you should try a cream or powder foundation or even a maximum coverage camouflage foundation. Regardless of which you choose, you must make sure that you do not look as if you were wearing a mask. After all, when you walk into a room, you want people to notice you and not your makeup!
Your foundation makeup should leave your face looking flawless and not two-toned. It is best to select a yellow-based foundation, which closely matches your complexion and follow with an oil absorbent, yellow based face powder for the most sophisticated look.
After applying your foundation, then you can "go to town" with your eye, cheek and lip colors. Be sure to check out our sections on this site on applying each type of makeup product.
