Prom makeup for pale skin?

I'm going to my school's prom next Friday (April 27th), and I'm not sure if I'm actually going to get my makeup done, but just in case, what should I do for my makeup? I'm wearing a periwinkle dress, and I'm very pale with dark hair. It's a very formal event. Any adivce is helpful! Thanks!

Prom makeup for pale skin?
Try a sheer liquid foundation, and set it with loose powder. Also try a luminous powder to highlight your brow and cheek bones. Mac makes a really lovely silvery pink shimmer powder, i use it all the time for special occasions. Get a shimmery lilac/blue based eyeshadow kit or quad and a deep plum or navy eyeliner to create a smokey eye. Smokey pastel eyes are VERY in this season!! Use a pink based blush on the apples of your cheeks, and a sheer berry lipstick or stain. Then, add a sheer gloss over your lips, and you're set! You will look stunning! I'm very pale as well, so I can sympathize...trust me, this will look gorgeous. Try MAC cosmetics for all the things I mentioned, they have EVERYTHING!! Good luck, and have fun on Friday!
Reply:I LOVE maybelline new york. I also have pale skin. I find that when I try to darken my make up it makes it look cheap-do what looks best on you-not everyone else.
Reply:Use an ivory shade,eyeshadow to match the color of your eyes,black liquid eyeliner and mascara, pink or coral lipstick. Cover Girl has some pretty shades.
Reply:Purchase some Pyshicians Skin Care bronzer that has the hight and low lites in with the bronzer, by the light to medium and it's in a compact. Brush it on with a big flluffy makeup brush and use the hightlite parts for your eyes and add a bit of the bronzer part to your cheeks. Or go to a department store and get a free makeover on Sat. you don't have to buy anything but act interested in their products you never know you might just find the perfect shades for your skin.
Reply:You could do the pin up thing with heavy black upper-lash liner, two coats of black mascara, pink blush on the apples of your cheeks, and perfect red lips. (line your lips with a pencil that matches your lips and then apply a blue based red lipstick with a brush, add a dab of gloss to the center to look extra kissable.)





Or you could go a little smokey with the eyes. Line your entire eye at the lash line with black pencil eyeliner. Use a Q-tip or smudger if your eyeliner has one, and slightly smudge the eyeliner into your lash line. Use an eyeshadow brush, not a sponge, and apply dark brown (not shimmery) eyeshadow from lash line to crease. Blend really well. Line the bottom lashline with the eye shadow brush in the same fashion. If you really wanna do it up, apply an off white eyeshadow to your lashline and browbone (blend!) then a slightly shimmery dark brown to your crease. (Blend.) Maybe a light berry lipstain or pink lipgloss?
Reply:its super easy. just do the basics start with foudation and settle it with powder. then use eyeliner, i perfer black. then take blush because the light will ruin your skin and you will looked flushed without the blush. then do your eyes with something dark to make them stick out. i use black but i have blue eyes. then always put a shimmer on to make yourself sparkle.
