Prom night is probably the most special styling night of a girl's life. For this reason Marta has some special tips to make it a little easy for you lovely young women out there.

Spring has finally sprung and that means it is time for prom season! For this monumental milestone a young woman wants to look and feel her very best! A lot of time and effort goes into choosing the right dress, shoes, handbag, and jewelry! To complete the perfect look for these occasions it is important to consider wearing the right hairstyle and makeup. When choosing your hairstyle and makeup look it’s a good idea to turn to the professionals for help!

Prom makeup and hair should be stylish and youthful. Looking through fashion magazines to get an idea of what the current trends are can really be helpful. When looking for a style that is right for you keep in mind that the model’s hair texture, length, as well as her overall look is similar to yours. In other words keep your expectations realistic! Pull out photos for your hairstylist and makeup artist, as visuals will really help them get an idea of what you are looking for! In this case a picture is really worth a thousand words! You can really have fun with your prom hair and makeup by going all out, after all you’re only young once!

There are so many great styles to choose from for your prom hairstyle. Fun and flirty, with a half up and half down style. You can wear it in an up do for a chic and sophisticated effect. If you like to wear your hair down and loose you can achieve a soft and romantic look with flowing curls or wear it sleek and straight. Once you choose your dress you can play with different hair styles to get the perfect look for you! Give yourself time by meeting with a stylist in advance to do a practice run!

When it comes to prom makeup a professional makeup artist is definitely the way to go! A makeup artist will help design the right makeup look for you, taking into consideration your dress style and color, and how you will be wearing your hair. Prom makeup can be fun and trendsetting, but keep in mind that you will have your photos forever and want to look back without cringing! Keep it current, but not too outlandish! I also recommend meeting with your makeup artist for a trial run in advance, or at least speak to the artist in detail prior to that day, to let them know what look you want to achieve. Communication between the two of you is key! There are so many fun looks that you can experiment with for prom makeup! Spring 2014 trends that are hot off the runway are highly pigmented color eyeshadows, cat eyes, and bold bright lips! Just remember that one trend at a time always looks best! Prom is a fun time to experiment with false lashes too! Your makeup artist can do the full strips or individual lashes to really make your eyes stand out!

Pulling your whole look together from head to toe for prom is a fun and creative process! Just remember to allow yourself a little time to pull it all together, so you can look and feel your best, and let the magic begin! Enjoy and have a safe prom season!
