There’s no denying that May and June are prime time for pretty pastel makeup and girly updos. For prom, you want natural-look makeup. It is more important to aim natural look than “light.” It is important to prevent the desire to be light from accepting an uneven application. To avoid this, use a minimum amount that ensures uniformity and don’t be afraid to use setting powder, more than when you are making up for in-person activities, say, going to a workplace or a party. The goal is even coverage combined with natural look finish.
