Prom night is an unforgettable event filled with dancing, laughter, and plenty of photo opportunities. To ensure you look picture-perfect throughout the festivities, having some quick touch-up tips up your sleeve is essential. At Emily Kitchener Make-Up, we understand the importance of maintaining your look from the first picture to the last dance. This guide will provide you with essential tips and product recommendations to keep your makeup flawless all night long.
Essential Touch-Up Tools
Before heading out to prom, make sure your clutch or small bag is equipped with the following touch-up essentials:
- Blotting Papers: These are a must-have for anyone, especially if you have oily skin. Blotting papers help remove excess oil without smudging your makeup, keeping your face looking fresh and matte.
- Powder Compact: A compact with a mirror is ideal for quick check-ups and for mattifying your T-zone. Opt for a translucent powder to avoid any cakiness or colour mismatch throughout the night.
- Miniature Lipstick or Lip Gloss: Since your lips will likely fade first, especially after eating or drinking, having your lip colour handy for quick reapplications is crucial.
- Travel-sized Mascara: Just in case you need to bolster your lashes, having a small mascara can help rejuvenate your look, especially before photos.
Step-by-Step Touch-Up Routine for Prom Night
1. Blot Away Shine: Before adding any more products to your face, use blotting paper to gently press on areas prone to oiliness, like your forehead, nose, and chin. This will help maintain a fresh look without disturbing your makeup foundation.
2. Refresh Your Base: If you notice any makeup displacement or if your skin needs a little extra coverage, use a small stippling brush with some foundation or concealer to dab gently on those areas. Blend it out seamlessly with the rest of your makeup.
3. Revive Your Powder: Use a fluffy brush to apply a light layer of translucent powder to set any areas where you’ve just applied concealer or to mattify shiny spots. Be mindful to not over-powder as it can make your makeup look heavy.
4. Reapply Lip Colour: After a meal or a couple of hours into the event, your lip colour might need a boost. Apply a layer of lipstick or gloss to bring vibrancy back to your lips. If your lips feel dry, dab a tiny amount of balm before applying the lipstick to keep them hydrated.
5. Refresh Mascara: If your lashes have begun to droop or if your mascara has flaked off, carefully apply a light coat of mascara to your top lashes only to avoid smudging under your eyes.
6. Highlight Key Features: A small dab of highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose can rejuvenate your entire makeup look, adding a glow that catches the light beautifully.
