Even if you always get compliments on your makeup applying skills, chances are that your skills probably do not compare to those of a professional makeup artist. Many girls choose to turn to a professional for their prom makeup. This is definitely a great idea, as a makeup artist can create the best party look for you with the colors and shades that match your skin tone and prom dress. The good news is that it is not overly expensive to hire a professional. Further, it is not very difficult to find one. Just follow our recommendations and you will find someone who can make you a knockout on prom night.

In order to find the right makeup artist for you, you will need to spread the news and do your research. The easiest way is to ask your family and friends if they know about someone in the field. You just may have a cousin who had her makeup done by a pro a few months ago for a party. You won’t know unless you ask around. Word of mouth is a very useful tool. Use it to your advantage. People love giving suggestions and sharing contacts. Listen to what they have to say. Another way to find someone to help you with your prom look is to visit the cosmetic counters at malls. Check out the women who work there and see if anyone has a makeup look that you love. When you spot this person, ask for a free makeup session. If she does a good job, ask if you can book an appointment with her on the day of your prom. You can also find a professional makeup artist through a hair salon. During prom time, many salons offer special makeup sessions. Call around and see if your favorite salons provide this service. Be sure to reserve from early on, as spaces are limited and fill up very quickly. Many girls want to get their hair and makeup done at the same place.

While you can get a free makeup session at the cosmetic department at the mall, don’t be shy about other makeup artists for a sample session. After all, it is prom night you are working on. This could really help you out. Independent makeup artists, as well as artists in salons, may agree to do this for a small charge. If the price they set seems logical to you, go ahead and try it out. It will help you sort out what your prom look may be. Take a friend or family member along with you for their opinion. The choice is ultimately yours, but it never hurts to know what others think of it. If you have already purchased your prom dress, take it with you, as well. Professional makeup artists know a thing or two about colors. They will help you determine a complementary makeup palette. Further, if you see a picture of a celeb or model in a fashion magazine or catalogue, clip it and take it to the makeup artist to help you recreate the look—if it will work for your complexion.

Becoming the prom queen is definitely not easy. At minimum, you need to be popular and known in your school. This is just the basic need. There is much more to it. Becoming prom queen has more to do than just looking good and fitting into the most beautiful prom dress. After all, the girl who grabs this title is representing the school and students. Therefore, the ideal prom queen needs to show that she is interested in the school and her peers. She also needs to have the right personality and grades for the job. 

Personality

In order to become prom queen, you need to have a certain kind of personality and mindset. You need to be easygoing and make others feel comfortable. The more friends you have, the greater your chance of getting votes. Be fun and happy. Make sure you have a smile on your face at all times and always keep your cool. This might not always be easy, as many girls lose their cool during nominations. However, if you want to become prom queen, make sure you are always balanced. Do not be mean or inconsiderate. Show your kindness and help students out. Further, take care of yourself. Make sure that your personality shines through. Be presentable in your demeanor and appearance. Act and look like a prom queen.

School Activities

Further, be involved in a wide range of school activities. This will show that you care for your school. It will also help you bond with different cliques. The prom queen is someone who is liked by students, so spread yourself around. Do not focus on the popular kids only, as you will not get the votes of the less popular groups. Even if you hang out with the popular group, make sure you give time to the less popular kids, as well. An easy way to do this is to take part in activities. You do not need to excel at every activity you take part in, but it would be great if you join. Activities include the book club, newspaper, cheerleading, and more.

Community Work

Also, make sure you volunteer and participate in activities that are not connected to your school. Teachers and parents may also play a role in the outcome of the votes. They often appreciate a student who helps the community. Some people would rather vote for a prom queen who volunteers at the library than one who does not. Moreover, if you have an after-school job, make sure that you are always courteous and nice, as you never know who will be voting for you.

Academics

Further, if you plan to become prom queen, make sure your grades are fine. A student who misses classes or does poorly in school is not a good candidate for the job. The voting students want a prom queen who is responsible and successful. Therefore, always make sure that school is your priority. It might make a difference in your quest to be the belle of the ball.

There’s something about prom that brings out wild prom stories. Here’s a recap of some of the famous ones:

One of the most famous is the case of Melissa Drexler, a girl who gave birth to a baby while at prom in the bath room. She cut the umbilical cord, wrapped the baby up, dumped it in a trash can, and went back to prom like nothing happened.

A funny, though somewhat sad story is one where a girl got arrested for wearing a skimpy outfit. The girl was denied entry into prom due to her outfit, which caused a stir. It eventually led to the girl being handuffed and escorted out of the prom.
