I have a bright red, strapless prom dress for prom, and i don’t have time on the day of prom to get my make-up done professionally. I have pale skin, brown hair, and brown with naturally super long eyelashes. I am at a total loss as for what to do with my eyes. Please Help!

Here are some ideas.
Mascara- since you already have very long lashes, I would suggest a mascara that either defines your lashes or thickens them.
Eyeliner- a liquid liner creates a strong look. If you use liquid liner, try a brown with a slight wing at the sides of your eyes. If you go for a pencil, use a brown or black pencil and smudge it for a hot mess look.
Eyeshadow- if you go for liner and mascara, you probably won’t need much eyeshadow. I do suggest that you wear a little. Sweep a light highlighting shade under your browbone and in the inner corner of your eye. Apply a light bronze to your lids.
Skin- a red dress will make the pink or red tones in your skin pop. Just use a little bronzed.
Lips- with such strong eyes, a glittery clear gloss over nude lipstick with balance well.
Keep it simple and natural, if you wanted do a simple smoky eye in black and rose pink.
Use a glossy with a hint of colour to give your lips a pop.
Because your dress is red, you could have black/smokey eyes…..this would look good with your long eye lashes for a more dramatic look. You can pick up cheap black eyeliner and eyeshadow from all shops selling make-up. Try putting some sparkly white eyeshadow underneath the black, just to make it look a bit softer and sparkly, and then wear black mascara. For my prom i wore a bright blue dress, so i got a sparkly bright blue eyeliner and just put mascara on with it. I didn’t wear eyeshadow so maybe you could just get a red eyeliner to set the dress off, but not draw away from it. Whatever you choose, i’m sure it’ll look great…..hope this helps, have fun at prom
