Prom night is an event where every detail counts, and creating a harmonious look between your hair and makeup is essential for making a stunning impression. At Emily Kitchener Make-Up, we specialise in designing perfect pairings of hair and makeup that complement each other beautifully, ensuring you look your best from every angle. This guide will explore various effective combinations of prom hair and makeup styles that are sure to make you shine at your prom.
Understanding the Harmony Between Hair and Makeup
The key to a cohesive prom look lies in the balance between your hairstyle and makeup application. The style of your hair can dramatically influence the choice of makeup, and vice versa. Emily Kitchener uses her expertise to recommend styles that enhance each other, ensuring that neither hair nor makeup overshadows the other but instead work together to enhance your overall beauty.
Sleek and Straight: For hair styled in a sleek, straight fashion, a bold makeup look can add an element of drama. Think sharp winged eyeliner and a bold lip colour like classic red or deep burgundy to make a statement.
Soft Curls and Waves: Softly curled or wavy hair pairs beautifully with a romantic makeup look. Opt for soft, shimmering eyeshadows, a touch of blush, and a pink or coral lip to keep the look sweet and harmonious.
Updos and High Buns: With the hair pulled back, there’s more room to play with dramatic eye makeup. Smoky eyes or vibrant eyeshadow colours can stand out, while the lips can remain neutral to maintain balance.
Tailored Advice for Different Dress Styles
The neckline and style of your prom dress also play a crucial role in determining the right hair and makeup combination:
High Necklines: With high neck dresses, updos work best to elongate the neck. Makeup can be more dramatic around the eyes, with neutral lips to keep the focus upward.
Strapless Dresses: Strapless dresses offer the perfect canvas for showing off a bit of glamorous makeup and an elegant necklace. Soft waves or half-up, half-down hairstyles complement this dress style well, paired with a balanced makeup look that features both eye and lip accents.
Backless Dresses: A backless dress calls for hair-up styles to show off the back. Keep makeup elegant and slightly understated, with emphasis on perfect, glowing skin and perhaps a subtle highlight on the shoulders and back.
Creating Lasting Impressions
Emily Kitchener not only suggests combinations but also provides complete prom makeover sessions where both hair and makeup are styled in perfect unison. This ensures a polished look throughout the event, with each element designed to complement the other beautifully.
Example from Emily’s Portfolio: For a recent prom, Emily styled Maria’s hair in a graceful updo with tendrils softly framing her face, paired with a classic makeup look featuring a smoky eye and nude lips. This combination highlighted Maria’s features and perfectly matched her elegant gown, making her the belle of the ball.
