Prom season isn't just approaching, it's here. I know, I know, time flies.
That means you (hopefully) already have a prom dress and shoes picked out for the big night. But chances are, you haven't given your makeup a second thought.
No need to stress, though! Whether you're aiming for soft glam or a dramatic smokey eye, our shopping experts hand-picked the best beauty products to use for prom night, plus a few makeup tips to help your look last for hours.
Since you'll want your makeup to be long-lasting, there are a few steps you can't skip.
To keep oil at bay and prevent foundation and concealer from settling into fine lines, set your face makeup with a translucent powder. We recommend KimChi Chic's loose powder, which you've likely seen on TikTok.
Seal it all in with a few spritzes of setting spray. This will absorb any excess oil and add a dewy radiance to your skin.
To prevent creasing and make shadows pop, you'll need an eye primer, like the E! reader-loved one we found from Jason Wu Beauty.
Of course, no prom makeup look is complete without a good lip color. To make it last through eating and drinking, there's no better option than Sacheu's TikTok-viral lip liner stain, which will stay put far longer than anything you've got in your vanity.
From simple and natural to bold and glittery, shop all the prom makeup must-haves you need for a memorable night.
