Homecoming Makeup Tips: DIY for Less

Oct 22nd 2010

You can do your own makeup for the homecoming dance and still look fabulous.  Doing it yourself can also help you save a few dollars on the big evening.

  • If you don’t feel totally comfortable doing it yourself, see if you know any friends or relatives that have could do a polished makeup look for you.  You’d be surprised at what the people you know can do!
  • Practice ahead of time.  There are so many ways to do makeup, that you don’t want to save it until the last minute.  You’re probably aiming for a more dramatic look than you use on a regular day-to-day basis, so it’s important to do a makeup run through.
  • It’s good to find out in advance what your makeup will look like so that you’ll feel comfortable and beautiful on homecoming night.
  • You don’t have to spend a fortune to look fabulous.  But make sure you have some fun!  This is the time to try the things you’ve always wanted to try.  Experiment with fake lashes and bold, beautiful lips.
  • Remember, you’re going to take a lot of pictures to remember how great the night was.  Make sure you look as fabulous as you possibly can.
