My prom isn't until next week, but, seeing as prom season in full bloom, I thought it would be a good idea to upload these how-tos now. :]
I'm not going to lie, the dress and what not I'm wearing in these how-tos are not my prom dress, it's my homecoming dress. However, I might recon it into a prom dress if I feel like it. Or just wear it again and not give a crap. :]

You Will Need (5 things)
- Mascara
- Eyeshadow Brush
- Eyeshadow
- Eyeshadow Primer
- Pencil Liner
Steps (8 steps, 10 minutes)
-
1
First, choose your eyeshadow palette. I'm using a gold-ish palette because it makes my brown eyes pop.
-
2
Prim your lids, top and bottom, since we will be using eyeshadow on both. Priming preps your eyes or eyeshadow and also makes the color more vibrant and last longer.
-
3
Use the second lightest color in your palette and sweep it over your lid.
-
4
Then, using the darkest color, use that in your crease. Blend it out so it isn't so harsh.

Now,I'm going to use a color that isn't in my palette. I have this loose gold eyeshadow that I bought a few weeks ago but have never used. It works so well with the palette that I decided to use it.
I swept it over my eyelid and then I wet my eyeliner brush and lined the bottom of my eyes, but not the waterline. -

Mascara time! My favorite part of the process. I don't think it's necessary to take a picture of my adding mascara so I did not. But, you get the jist.

Now, eyeliner. I'm using pencil liner because I, personally, like the look better. You could use gel or liquid if you really want.
I line the whole top, from one end to the other, then around both corners and then waterline on the bottom. I wouldn't do this normally because I prefer a wider eye look, but, this is prom and we're going for the dramatics. -

This is my end result: gold and dramatic eyes for prom.
