Your Prom Makeup Plan

So, now that you've figured out your overall vibe, it's time for some major prom makeup and nail inspo from Maybelline New York and Essie.

Hollywood Glam

: Go for matte coverage all over with highlighter on your cheekbones. Almodovar suggests Dream Matte Mousse Foundation paired with Master Strobing Stick Illuminating Highlighter . Contour cheeks with Fit Me! Blush in Medium Nude .

Classic Chic

: To define eyes, try a smoky eye in warm earth tones blended up to the crease. Sweep a rich chocolate brown shade all over lids, from inner to outer corners, lashes to just above creases. Then sweep a bit under lower lashes. Use a cream highlighter to accentuate your brow bone. Get all you need in . Then add liquid black liner that gets thicker toward the outer end of your eye. Try Eyestudio Color Plush Silk Eye Quad Palette in Give Me Gold Master Precise Curvy Liquid Liner with an easy-to-grip (and control) pen. Brows should be full and defined -- a trademark of classic beauty, says Almodovar. Using a two-in-one brow pencil like Maybelline Eyestudio Brow + Define Duo , create the shape with the wax pencil and fill in individual hairs using short, upward strokes. Then use the powdery side to create an overall darker, denser-looking brow. Apply a black curling mascara to top and bottoms like Volum' Express The Colossal Cat Eyes Washable Mascara .

: Go for sheer, buildable coverage with a luminous, liquid foundation. Try Dream Cushion Liquid Foundation . Tap it on skin -- only where you need it -- with the sponge application, blend, and add more if necessary. Use the same cream highlighter that you used on your brow bones to accent the tops of your cheekbones. Lightly dust a sheer bronzer into the hollows of cheeks. Try Fit Me! Blush in Medium Nude

Edgy Elegance

: Start with a shimmery eye in a neutral shade via the Color Tattoo Concentrated Crayon in Bronze Truffle . Swipe it across lids and from lash lines to just below brow bones. Then along bottom lash line, too. Next, line top lashes with black liner. Smudge it out for a smoky look, or keep it precise for a more elegant vibe. Try Eyestudio Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil in Sleek Onyx . Finish with a few coats of black mascara to top and bottom lashes. Try Volum' Express The Falsies Big Eyes Washable Mascara .

Bohemian Beauty

: The goal is sheer, glowing skin, says Almodovar. To get it, try Dream Fresh BB all over. Sweep a pale pink blush along cheekbones. Try Fit Me! in Light Pink . Then add highlighter just to the high points of the face: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, top of the forehead. Try FaceStudio Master Strobing Liquid Illuminating Highlighter .

: Pick a lip shade that's similar to your natural lip color, only a bit more pumped up. We like Color Sensational Lip Color in Pink Peony.

Party Princess

: Sweep a sheer brown shadow into creases and a pearl champagne shadow at inner corners of eyes. Get it with Expert Wear Eye Shadow Quads in Natural Smokes and EyeStudio Color Tattoo Concentrated Crayon in Barely Beige . Then amp up the definition with black liquid liner (like EyeStudio Master Precise Liquid Liner ), winged out to almost the outer edge of your brow and applied on both top and bottom lashes, starting at the inner corners. Connect the outer points of the top and bottom lines. Now layer on black mascara on top and bottom lashes. Try Volum' Express The Falsies Big Eyes Washable Mascara in Blackest Black .

Retro Disco Queen

: This look is all about sparkle and color, says Almodovar. Start with a shimmery taupe base, applied from lash lines up to the brow bone. Try Expert Wear Eye Shadow in Cool Cocoa . Then sweep a sparkly taupe-brown shadow from inner corners to the middle of the eye and up to creases. Dust a white shimmer along inner corners. Find both in The Rock Nudes Eye Shadow Palette . Then line lashes -- top and bottom -- with a bright blue or teal pencil such as EyeStudio Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil in Lustrous Sapphire . Now apply several coats of black mascara like Volum' Express Colossal Spider Effect to top and bottom lashes.
