The essential products you’ll need (for your makeup)
To accomplish a basic prom makeup look at home, Stapleton says you’ll need five essential things.
1. A primer. It will minimize large pores and help skin appear smoother (our favorite is Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, $32).
2. A tinted moisturizer. This will provide protection and help to even out your skin tone (try Hard Candy Sheer Envy Tinted Moisturizer, $8).
3. A light bronzer or powder blush will add some color to your cheeks (try Urban Decay Baked Bronzer, $24).
4. A great gloss or lipstick that is comfortable and doesn’t need a ton of maintenance (try Mac Pro Longwear LipColour, $22).
5. A mascara to enhance your lashes and frame your eyes (we love L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Waterproof Mascara, $4.97).
