Prom makeup on a budget!

So your prom is this month? Still adding last minute touches to the dress and deciding on hair and makeup, step back and breathe. I could still remember the weeks leading up to my prom, more than 15 years ago (yikes). I actually went to a tanning bed (won't be doing that again), had acrylic nails and set up my hair appointment. The latter was a disaster! I hated my hair, my hair was short and dyed black (from having been a hair model a couple months earlier) there wasn't much I could do to my hair. But, the hairdresser was able to do an up-do that looked like a basket on my head...not a good look! Atleast my makeup would look great because I knew makeup!
And since you're already spending a small fortune save on makeup as there are great budget friendly options.

Mascara:

my favourites include-Rimmel Sexy Curves, Cover Girl Lash Blast &/or Annabelle Twist Push-Up Mascara

Brows:

Maybelline Define-a-Brow, hands down favourite affordable eye pencil 

tip-for pictures do pencil your brows in lightly, makes a difference in pictures

Bronzers:

Annabelle Perfect Bronze or Physician's Formula Bronzers are great options

Blush:

lots of affordable options, my faves-NYX blushes, Physician's Formula blushes

Lips:

NYX lipglosses, Annabelle Twist-Up lipstick pencils or Covergirl lipbalm pencils are great!

Face:

BB Creams-embrace your youthful skin (maybe you don't realize it now) keep your base natural. Cover Girl BB cream is awesome as is Marcelle BB Cream

Eyeshadows:

long lasting Maybelline Colour 24 hr Tattoo, splurge & get the Urban Decay Naked Palette and MAC is always a good bet for quality and shades!
