Prom is a special occasion that every high schooler looks forward to. It’s a night filled with glamour, romance, and unforgettable memories. As we head into prom season for 2023, there are a few beauty trends that are definitely worth trying out. In this blog post, we’ll be discussing the top three beauty trends for prom 2023 that every high schooler should know about.
Romantic Hair
When it comes to prom hairstyles, soft curls and updos are classic and romantic choices that are always in style. This year, we’re seeing a resurgence of these hairstyles with a modern twist. For soft curls, the key is to keep them loose and natural-looking. Avoid tight, structured curls and opt for a more effortless, bohemian vibe. To achieve this look, use a large barrel curling iron or hot rollers and finish off with a texturizing spray for added volume and hold.
Updos are another popular hairstyle for prom that can be both elegant and sophisticated. This year, we’re seeing a trend towards more relaxed, messy updos with a touch of whimsy. Think braids, twists, and loose tendrils that frame the face. For a modern twist, add a statement hair accessory such as a floral hairpin or jeweled headband. The key is to keep the updo loose and undone, with a touch of romantic flair.
Another hairstyle trend that is making a comeback this year is Hollywood waves. This classic hairstyle is a glamorous option that is perfect for prom night. Hollywood waves are characterized by their smooth, polished curls that flow in a gentle S-shape. The key to achieving this look is to use a large barrel curling iron and a smoothing serum or cream to create a sleek and glossy finish. This hairstyle is versatile and can be worn with both updos and down hairstyles, making it a great option for any prom look. With its timeless appeal, Hollywood waves are sure to make you feel like a Hollywood starlet on your big night.
Statement Eyes
When it comes to prom makeup, the eyes are the focus this year. We’re seeing a trend towards bold, statement eyes with a range of different styles to choose from. For those who love color, bold eyeshadows in shades of blue, purple, and green are a popular choice. These shades can be applied in a variety of ways, from a subtle wash of color to a bold, dramatic statement. And don’t forget the bedazzled jewels for a really glitzy effect!
Smokey eyes are another popular choice for prom makeup that never goes out of style. This year, we’re seeing a trend towards softer, more diffused smokey eyes. Think shades of taupe and gray, blended out for a subtle yet sultry effect. Pair this look with a nude lip for a classic and sophisticated finish.
For those who prefer a more classic look, cat eyeliner is a popular choice for prom makeup. This year, we’re seeing a trend towards a bold, graphic cat eye with a touch of color. Try adding a colored eyeliner to your cat eye for a pop of interest, such as a metallic gold or deep emerald green.
Clean Girl Makeup
Clean, glowing skin is always in style, and this year, we’re seeing a trend towards minimal, understated makeup that lets your natural beauty shine through. The key to this trend is to focus on skincare, with a healthy, radiant complexion as the base for your makeup. So make sure to schedule your facial at least a week in advance of your prom night!
For makeup, keep it simple with neutral shades that enhance your features without overpowering them. Opt for a nude or soft pink lip gloss for a natural, effortless look. For eyes, keep it simple with a swipe of mascara and a touch of neutral eyeshadow. The goal is to enhance your features while keeping your makeup minimal and understated.
