Beauty / Prom Makeup in Pink

Prom Makeup in Pink
Prom makeup in pink can look wonderful with many different skin tones. The great thing about the color pink is that pink can have blue or earthy undertones. There are many different shades of pink. Pink is also the perfect color for prom, because it is young, fresh and trendy. Prom makeup is supposed to bring out your overall look and not overpower your dress and pink is soft enough to accomplish this feat!

Prom Makeup in Pink for Eyes

Gorgeous eyes can pull together the overall prom look. Pink is a great base color for the eyelids. Brown with a hint of pink undertone is perfect for an accent color in the crease of the lids. Most young girls will appreciate a pink eyeshadow with a hint of shimmer. However, if you plan to take a lot of pictures, a matte eye shadow (no shimmer) will be better as it will not reflect light and create unsightly shine where you may not want it. Some colors of pink eyeshadow that work well for prom include:

Dior's 1-Color Eyeshadow in Bloom Pink - This shadow is available in matte, shimmer or pearl. The shadow lasts for a long time, so you won't have to stop in the middle of a dance and reapply. The shadow also comes in "Biege Sunshine" for an accent color.
Christian Dior Ultra Shimmering Eyeshadow in Pink Wannabe - This shadow is a gel-like mixture, but dries to an ultra shimmery powder that lasts and lasts. While you probably won't want to use this more pronounced color all over the lid, it can work well along the eyebrow for accent.
Origins Eye Shadow in Pink Twinkle - For a barely there pink, you'll want to check out Origins "Pink Twinkle" color. The color lasts fairly well, but Origins also offers an eyelid primer to smooth over your lids before adding color. This will help extend the color even longer. This color is perfect for a soft, ethereal look.
Estee Lauder Signature Eyeshadow Quad - If you're looking for a set of colors that all blend well together, look no further than Estee Lauder's quad in "Smoky Pink". The colors can be worn all together or each one separate. As an added bonus, some of the shades are matte and some are shimmer and some are pearl shades.

Pink Blush for Prom

Another place where pink makeup takes the stage is in the bloom of delicate color along the cheekbones. Even if you have an olive skin tone, a pink blush with peach undertones can be perfect for a soft look. Some colors of pink blush that are perfect for prom are:

Bare Escentuals Giddy Pink - Mineral makeup creates a sheer natural look, so many prom goers turn to mineral blush as their choice. While there are many brands of mineral makeup, Bare Escentuals is one of the best known. Their "Giddy Pink" offers a sandy pink color that looks great on almost any skin and goes with many different shades of dress.
Jemma Kid Blush Duo in Clear Pink/Rose - This blush duo offers the ability to accentuate cheekbones with a burst of lighter color over a deeper rose. Both colors come in one easy compact with mirror. One side has a pink with blue undertones and the other a peach-pink. Blending the colors in different combinations allows for different shades and looks.
Sephora's Makeup Forever HD Microfinish in 5 Nip Slip - This highly blendable blush is a neutral pink that creates a soft, almost airbrushed look for a fraction of the price.
Pink Lips

There are so many different shades of pink lipstick that finding the perfect color can be downright confusing. For a soft look, stick with neutral pinks that will go with anything. This will help you avoid a color that might clash with your dress as well. If your dress is a neutral color, such as black or white, then you may be able to go with more dramatic pink shades. A few shades to try:

Lancome Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Dacquiri - Although the color of this ultra shiny gloss may look hot pink, when applied it is a very soft, neutral pink that will go with any color, even red, without clashing. The gloss also has a pleasant fruity smell.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon - This neutral pink gives lips a slightly pink, bare look. Combine with a clear gloss for a shiny look or wear alone for an almost matte finish.
Urban Decay in Rush - A deeper neutral pink that will go with most skin tones. This lipstick has a bit of shine to it, but is not glossy. There are many other pink shades within this line, if you don't care for "Rush".
Final Notes on Pink Prom Makeup

No matter what color makeup you choose, it is best to apply the look as you will wear it on prom night and see how the makeup looks with your dress and hair. It may even be a good idea to snap a few amateur photos so you can see how the makeup looks in pictures and make any necessary adjustments in the pink shades you've chosen.
