Prom Makeup: Should your makeup match your dress?

It's so hard to choose a look for your prom makeup because there are so many different ways you can go with makeup. You can do a dramatic smoky eye with a glossy pinky nude lip. 

Maybe you want a soft natural looking eye with a nice bold red lipstick. 

Maybe you want a soft glittery eye with a hot pink lip. So many choices! 

 Should your makeup match the color of your dress? I find it works best to use makeup colors that compliment you (your skin tone and eye color), then add a pop of color that matches your dress if you want to. You can add the color pop in your eye shadow....

or you can choose the lips for the color. A red dress looks fabulous with red lipstick.

The best thing to do is try out different looks and see what you like best. See a makeup artist for a trial makeup. The makeup artist can tell you what colors compliment your skin tone, show you some different looks and let you know the latest trends. 

Sometimes you get stuck because you like two different looks that look great on you. Then it's time to ask your friends what they think. Post a pic of the two looks on social media. It's fun to see what other people like. This beautiful prom goer, in the pics below, did just that. She liked the shimmery smokey teal shadow that coordinated with her teal/aquamarine dress but she also liked the matte peachy nude shadow. It ended up being a dead heat on facebook. People liked both looks. Ultimately, the decision was hers.

Which eye for a teal green dress? Smoky teal or warm peachy nude? 
Which did she choose, teal or peach?

We ended up combining the looks, a warm peach eye and accented with teal. Her eyes looked simply amazing!!!

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out. Read more about blackhead, whiteheads and blind pimples This is a common problem for the under-eye area. It is a dry, delicate area of the skin. I see it a lot on my clients. Heavy products...

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j...
