Looking picture perfect at your Homecoming Dance: a mini guide

Getting ready for homecoming night is a lot of fun, but a “hard work” too. As the years have gone by and the tradition of homecoming has become more cemented and more developed, the pressure to be absolutely picture perfect on the big night has also grown. There is pressure from everybody to partake in an unspoken competition to outshine everyone else at the event.

It’s not enough to feel beautiful; you have to strive to be the most beautiful. A lot of girls have an innate confidence, but I think that anybody who puts enough effort and thought into their look, can achieve this. No matter how you see yourself, you have to feel beautiful and homecoming is the perfect opportunity to show it.

So if you’re in the running to test your sense of perfection on homecoming night, here is a guide to help you looking picture perfect at your Homecoming Dance.

Four points you have to consider looking picture perfect at your Homecoming Dance

1. Your Dress

The better you start, the coolest would be the result: you need to select a dress that is just right for you. There are plenty to choose from which differ in style, designer, patterns, adornments and color. There is no universal dress that looks good on everybody as if it were some sort of beauty adapter.

Everybody is completely different in so many ways and a short skirt, a-line, warm toned dress will only suit a certain body type.

Be stick to the sense of style you have already developed. This is because you have already figured out which hues bring out your skin and your eyes, what sort of cuts best fit your body type and what length skirt your heights lets you get away with. You should be objective to yourself.

Adapting your style to fit what is necessary for homecoming night is not difficult if you trust in your personal sense of style. Keep a close eye on fashion trends by surfing the net; some editorial from teen Vogue and the popular looks for homecoming dresses 2015 will undoubtedly differ from last year, even if the designs themselves don’t.

2. Your Hair

Hairstyle is an important part of the look, it should match and add something more to the whole outfit. Don’t overdo, but once again just try to be You at your best.

Wearing a strapless gown, then keeping your hair up will help to highlight your shoulders.

If you’re going for a radical change in color, remember that your natural hair and eyes often give you the best clues as to which color tones will bring out your skin.

If you’re planning on having it cut and styled for your big night, try to remember that hair needs to be given a few days to settle into a new style after a haircut. It needs to fall naturally and you need a little time to get used to it.

This applies to all haircuts whether it is just a trim to perfect your already brilliant look, or a complete style change. It is a good idea to get your hair done about a week before the night so that you can give it time to look natural at the homecoming dance.

3. Your makeup

With makeup it can be hard to find the balance between less is more and the desire to go all out. Trust your sense of style with makeup. You know which colors match the tones of your skin and if you selected your dress correctly, then there shouldn’t be a clash.

I always prefer a flawless skin with some edgy points: lips and eyes.

When choosing your makeup, remember your blushes and shadows should work to complement your outer skin tones and complexion, while your dress should complement your undertones.

Get this combination right and you will be sure to outshine everyone else at the dance.

4. Your accessories

Certainly, no homecoming outfit would be anywhere near complete without the correct set of accessories to round it off. When you are choosing accessories, opt for jewelry that frames your features, draws the eye, and doesn’t get in the way of you having a fun evening.
