Left: This season, go less Lady Gaga and more fresh-faced (think Felicity Jones in Like Crazy). A petal-toned palette is as pretty with feminine prom gowns, as it is with picnic-perfect sundresses. Simply add a flush to your cheeks (with Lise Watier's blush on powder), a soft stain on your lips (with M.A.C.'s Cremesheen Glass gloss in Partial to Pink). Lastly, mind your brows with the help of Maybelline's Define-a-Brow Eye Brow Pencil. (Accessories: Necklace, Eliza Kozurno)
Right: Go for a classic portrait-of-a-lady look with sleek curls and a flattering side part. Keep curls smooth with Bumble & bumble's holding spray available at Sephora. (Accessories: Necklace, Eliza Kozurno)

Left: Say it all with your lips using a combo of Body Shop's Extra Virgin Minerals Foundation for even skin, a pale shadow on the lid, a fine sweep of liquid liner along your upper lash line, and a high-impact burst of colour on your pout with Kate Moss for Rimmel's Lasting Finish Lipstick in shade 01. (Tip: don't neglect your cleansing ritual; when going for a barely-there makeup look, you want a clean palette. We like the newly vamped Biore line, especially their Combination Skin Balancing Cleaner.) (Accessories: Necklace, available at Love of Mine)
Right: Don't limit yourself to just a bright lip colour, try pairing the look with an untraditional attention-grabbing updo, like a round-the-head braid, better when less than perfect. Keep your do in place with the strength of Salon Expert Color Shine Extra Hold Hairspray by Marc Anthony. (Accessories: Necklace, available at Love of Mine)

Left: A swoosh of lilac (in metallic or matte depending on your mood) over the eyes, matched with the palest of pinks makes the ice queen look oh so appealing. Pair the tones in the Perfect Plums Eye Shadow Quad from Joe Fresh with Rimmel's Vinyl Max in Goddess to put together this sophisticated look. (Accessories: Necklace and bracelet, Banana Republic)
Right: An easy do-it-yourself look, a low bun is elegant without looking stuffy when pushed to the side. After fixing your bun in place with bobby pins, try a product like Sachajuan's Shine Serum for extra gloss. (Accessories: Necklace and bracelet, Earrings and necklace, Aldo Accessories)

Left: As the saying goes, less is more, and when it comes to beauty, sometimes a minimal look speaks volumes. Opt for neutral shades on your cheeks, lids and lips, complemented by a delicate swish of CoverGirl's LineExact Liquid Liner. (Accessories: Necklaces, Anice)
Right: Ponytails aren't just for gym class. The beauty of a sleek high pony is in its simplicity. Wrap a length of hair around the base to cover your elastic, taming flyaways with an anti-frizz product like Aussie's.Tizz No Frizz Gel. (Accessories: Earrings, Aldo Accessories)

Left: Prom is nothing if not a party, meaning: fun accessories and a beauty look that is at home under the glimmer of the disco ball. A bright lip matched with a thick line of liner and heavy (HEAVY) lashes (achieve longevity in CoverGirl 24hr LashBlast Mascara) scream celebratory glamour when worn with a vibrant pink lip like Lancome's (Emma Watson endorsed) Rouge in Love lipstick in Midnight Rose. (Accessories: Necklace, available at Love of Mine)
Right: Match your party lashes with a textured do that is loose and shakable on the dance floor. Bumble and bumble's styling wax will keep your hair from shifting away from textured and tousled to messy and frizzy. (Accessories: Brooch worn as hair clip, Aldo Accessories)
