  • you really dont need to match your dress and makeup, and for heavens sake don’t do lilac eyeshadow! 😉 mostly you should match makeup to your skin and eyes, not what your’e wearing. Go with those golds and browns you say look good on you. maybe add in some greyish purple in either the shadow or the liner – that color is magic, it looks good with any eye color, and if it’s a subtle shade (go for something more muted and darker than you’d think) it won’t be too matchy.

  • If gold and brown look good on you, then you should try that with the dress. It will look more natural because of your skin tone and natural colors tend to be very beautiful.

    Mascara: black

    Eyeliner: purple (if you can’t find one, use black)

    Eyeshadow: – light purple eyeshadow on the crease and then gold eyeshadow above it. The purple will give a pop and make your eyes stand out. The gold will just be a background and a very pretty base.

  • I think gold would look great! Also, maybe a purple thats close to your dress color would go very well. Silver might look good too! Or you could try to go for like a mauve-style color. That would be cute with your dress. have fun at prom!
