Should I Do My Prom Makeup Myself Or Have It Done Professionally

Should I get my makeup done for prom?

False lashes are a must for photography. You wanna look great and glamorous in your pictures so go with false lashes. I guess if you have the money for pro makeup, then go for it, especially if you're not really good in doing your own. This will save you the worry of looking bad during the once in a lifetime night of your life.

Do most girls get their makeup for prom done professionally?

I've heard some people getting it done professionally, but I and all of my friends did it ourselves. You know what you look best in and how much you normally wear. You don't want to look like a totally different person for prom! If you know the makeup artist or have gotten it done before, that would be better.
Good luck!

Should I get my make up done professionally for prom?

Anyone can look like a princess, without looking too fake!
Guys prefer less. Don't over paint. Nothing ages you more than too much color. Do keep your makeup natural. Men want to see the real you. Go for pretty, not pretend-y.

Kate Middleton on her wedding day: "Her complexion was perfect and her makeup completed the fluidly femininity of her soft look," beauty specialist Sarah Chapman tells Us. "She carried off the English rose look well with fresh rosy cheeks and nude lips that were balanced by her strong eyes and glossy dark hair. You can tell she looks after her skin very well, which allows her to pull off a natural look."

Any Asians girls had their makeup done professionally by white people?

Well if they are a good makeup artist then they should be able to have the skills to do makeup on anyone. I am a makeup artist and I know how to apply makeup on every ethnicity, BUT I do have a story to tell.

I dont think your question is discriminatory at all. I think its a perfectly fine question to ask and I do believe that sometimes caucasian makeup artists are only use to what they know and only know how to do makeup with what they are comfortable with and that is western eyes and fair skin.

Ok so here is my story, I worked with a makeup trainer and she was a caucasian lady. She was training me to sell makeup products not to do makeup. We had to do about 10 makeovers and out of those 10 girls, I would say about half of them were asian and had asian features.

So when my trainer and I was done applying makeup on the girls, I was so shocked because of the fact that the makeup on the asian girls look terrible and the way she applied it on the asian girls look so weird. BUT when she did makeup on the cauasian girls, it looked beautiful, I was shocked again.

So I do understand what you are asking. My best bet is to hire a local makeup artist. They charge just about the same and you will be able to see their work.

Below are some pictures from the event I was telling you about:
These first 2 photos are the makeup makeover that she did for two asian female:

And this one is how she did for a caucasian female:

Do you see the difference?

Well I hope this wasn't too long. Just wanted to share my experiences and I hope this helps as well. .

Good luck!!

How much does hair, makeup, and nails cost for prom?

I want to get my hair and makeup done for prom. But I'm not sure about my nails yet. Depends on how much it'll all cost.

So how much does hair cost?
How much does makeup cost?
And how much do nails cost?

And I'm not planning to go to a super professional and expensive place. Give me the average cost.

Do I have to pay to get my makeup done at Lord and Taylor before prom?

I don't think you have to actually pay for the application of make up but, because of the service of doing your make up at no charge, and the time it takes to do it, it does take away from them being able to help other customers who are there to purchase cosmetics/treatments. When the girls are working on commission there is nothing worse than somebody coming in to get made over(for an hour) and saying thanks and walking out w/a freebie, while all the other counter girls are making good sales(ie. a decent paycheck) It's almost comparable to eating in a restaurant and not tipping your waitress. They both earn a lower hourly rate and depend on your commission/tips in order to make their living.
I used to sell cosmetics and do make overs for proms, and we didn't charge for the make over,but we did tell the recipients that we hoped that they liked some of the products and/or colors and and we hoped they would purchase some if they did. Also, this isn't a requirement, but a lot of times we would get tips ($10-15) for doing the make over, especially if they didn't buy anything,just for our time. Having that little bit of extra money in our pocket for our lunch break or to put gas in the car was a nice gesture on their part....Oh, and the nicer you are....the likelyhood is, you're probably going to be walking out with a few more free samples!

Where is the best place to get my hair done for prom?

I went to a local hair salon. The one in my town was well-know for stunning prom hair styling. I called and made an appointment a couples months in advance. My hair was done so beautifully and it cost me $60 plus tip.

I did my makeup myself at a friend's house. None of my friends had their makeup done professionally. If you're worried about your makeup staying fresh and neat all night, it might be a good idea to have it done professionally...especially if you are not the "makeup type" and therefore not used to doing it yourself.

I bought both of my prom dresses (I attended 2) at a gently used clothing store in my area. They had lots of dresses to choose from. I wore a dramatic black mermaid-style gown to my first prom. It looked like old Hollywood. My 2nd dress was a blue tulle ball gown with the top covered in turquoise sequins and crystals. It looked Taylor Swift-ish. My first one cost me $200 and my second was $250.

Ask your dress shop if they do alterations or if they recommend a place to have alterations. I luckily did not need alterations on either of my dresses because my mom could do them.
If you want to wear a corsage, ask local florists if they offer prom specials for corsages.
When trying on dresses, wear a nude-colored bra with removable straps. Wear a nude-colored spanx if you plan on wearing them on your prom night. Otherwise, wear nude undies that you would feel comfortable in in front of a sales associate.
Bring shoes that are roughly the height you plan on wearing to try on dresses.
Wear a basic outfit to try on dresses so you don't have to keep getting dressed and undressed. Wear a simple casual dress or bring a robe to change into.
DO NOT stress about the size of the dresses you try on. Dress sizes can be very different from regular clothing sizes. For example, a friend of mine who is normally a size 0 wore a gown that was marked as a size 8 to prom. No need to feel sad about the size you wear.
Do not try on a dress that is out of your price range. You will feel terribly sad if you end up liking it and cannot afford it.
Only bring along people who will encourage you and give you positive or constructive feedback about your dress selections.
Only try on less than 6 dresses per session if you can help it. Or else you will forget which ones you liked and they will all blend together.
Bring a phone or camera for pictures.

How long does it take to get ready for prom?

Student Congress and Prom Night fall on the same day for my school. Student Congress is a debate event- all debaters are required to attend, and frankly, it sounds fun. My teacher said it should end around 3-4, and I think prom starts around 6-7. The thing is, I'd be going from professional-debate clothes and hair into my dress, hair, makeup, and nails (all at home). Is there anything else I need to do beforehand? How long does it take to get ready?
