1. If you go to your local mall, you can go to the Clinique make-up stand, and they will do your mkae-up for you for free! Just tell them that you have a formal coming up and you wanted to see what your make-up would look like. I used to do this all the time, they can help you pick out colors that will go with your complexion, hair and eye color and also look good and stand out with the dress. Good luck hope i could help.
2. I think lightbrown eyeshadow would work great. You could start out dark and then fade into lighter shades of brown. Brown/black mascara would be good too with a carmel colored eyeliner. Peachy lipgloss and blush would work well with that too. Have a great prom!!!
3. I would do a light tan color all over the eye, up to the lash line, with a medium brown on the lid and a dark brown in the crease. Just be sure to blend the edges of the colors so they will flow together. Then maybe some dark brown eyeliner followed up with black mascara. And also, if the emphasis is going to be on the eyes, be sure to go with a neutral lip, maybe just a nude gloss. Anyway hope this helps and have fun at prom!
4. I really like this! http://i.ivillage.com/BS/makeup/spring06facecharts/BS_MakeupForever_366.jpg it is super pretty! and will go well with brown!
5. Although it's a prom you should keep in mind not to overdo the makeup then. You want to get looks b/c you were stunning not slutty..to be honest. I would either have a salon do your make up as they can, if you get your hair styled at one. IF you trust your stylist not to go wild on the make up. OR you can go more natural yet flattering still by accenting your best features. IF you don't know what those are or you're unsure ask friends, they should be able to tell. I would personally use a light brown or tan colored eyeshadow, then a sheer or lightly tinted lip color. I would NOT do eye liner, that is so 60's and it is too much that can smear especially if you use mascara also. Try to get the kind that is tear proof or water proof as you may be working up a sweat when dancing and don't want this all over your face. Try to avoid loud or brite shades of any make up. That looks fake and too much. Try to use a hint of blush only as if to look like you have a natural blushing look when it's done.IF you want to do your lips then , use something sheer or light color.
6. just go for the natural look,nice earth tones of make-up,in nice browns and beiges,you won't look silly if you keep your make-up soft and natural.practice makes perfect....do you make up a few days in advance(don't keep it on)just practice how you want it to look ,and then prom night you'll have mastered your look! hope this helped.
