Hey guys, it's Wengie. Welcome back and prom hugs!!!!!!
So today I'm gonna be sharing with you guys some last-minute prom hacks that are gonna be super useful if you're like me
and you leave everything to the last minute and this video has been done in partnership with youth and consequences on YouTube red
Thank you so much for sponsoring this video. And without further ado. Let's get on with the tips. Let's go.
So to make sure that your lip color is gonna last all night. There's a few hacks that you could use. The first hack
is actually a blotting technique. Which is you put the lip color on first, you blott it and then put on a
second layer.
And also if you're wearing a lipstick that is a red base, pink base, or orange base,
you can make this last longer by finding a lip tint of a similar tone and then make sure that you stain your lips
underneath before you apply your lipstick. This ensures that if your lipstick comes off, you still have a great pop of color underneath.
If you're planning to do a side part and you want to make sure you have the most
volume that you can on the night, try actually blow-drying your hair
parted on the other side for the day before.
Or before you're gonna get ready. And that means when you actually part your hair on the side that you want,
it's gonna have a lot more volume.
You can also use dry shampoo on the roots as well to make sure you get maximum
volume and if you're not sure which side to part your hair
you can actually see if we can find your natural hair curl
and if you part
it against the hair curl, you're also gonna get more volume that way as well.
If you're worried that your feet are gonna slip out of your shoes during the night,
all you need to do is spray your feet with hair spray beforehand and it will actually stay in the shoe much better.
If you guys are looking for a series to watch my getting ready, Youth and Consequences now is out on YouTube red it's an amazing series
starring Anna O'Conner. (One of my favorites) And I love this show because it's all about female empowerment
That's why Youth and Consequences have partnered with the princess project, which is an amazing charity that donates prom dresses to those girls in need.
They do this in a super positive and safe environment which includes everyone of all ethnicities, races, genders, and bodies of all shapes and sizes.
I would be amazing if we could all help by donating old formal wear and accessories or visiting their website:
PrincessProject.org to find out more information.
And I know I'm gonna be donating a bunch of my own formal wear as well and it'd be amazing if you guys can join me.
Also, don't forget to check out all the episodes of Youth and Consequences
which is now streaming on YouTube Red. The first two episodes are free
and I've linked it down below so you guys can watch
So, if you guys have like a particular hairstyle and it looks great on you and you want to wear on the night?
Make sure you know what this is before you buy a dress because certain necklines work with certain
hairstyles. So I popped up a guide right here
for you guys to check out what hairstyles match what necklines. Make sure you check this guide before you go shopping.
You know
sometimes when you wear makeup during the night and like your mascara or your eyeliner runs and you get like panda eyes?
You can actually pre-soak some cotton buds with eye makeup remover,
put it in a ziploc bag. This takes up almost no space in your purse and you can pop it in so during the night
when it stops running you can just go to the bathroom and then wipe it off
This is also helpful if you need to remove any other makeup, that is not sitting right during the night
If you're out shopping for shoes
and you're not sure whether the particular pair of shoes are gonna hurt or not,
all you need to do is look at the distance between the ball of the shoe and the heel
to see if it's too high. If it's less than three centimeters chances are, it's gonna be a little bit more uncomfortable.
To try and find the distance between the ball and the heel to be over three centimeters
This is really helpful if you're planning to dance all night. Make sure your bobby pins
aren't gonna fall out and give it a bit of extra grip so they stay on your hair during the night.
Just spray it with hairspray before you put it in your hair.
If you want to bring your perfume along with you for top-ups during the night,
you can actually ask for a sample size when you buy your full-size perfume.
The other thing you can do is mix your perfume with a bit of moisturizer in a small bottle and bring that along with you.
And you can use it as a lotion during the night to top-up your perfume.
For super long-lasting curls because my eyelashes are so stubborn, you can actually try using a heated eyelash curler.
This makes your curls last longer.To make sure your curls stay even longer, on top of that, just spritz an eyelash brush with some hairspray
and swipe it on your lashes before you put on mascara. This will make it last super long.
Amazing hack to prevent your shoes from getting sweaty all night. Is actually to use a panty liner.
Yes, guys, a panty liner. And what you'll do is put it in the the sole of your shoe and it'll help absorb all the sweat during the night.
And also if you're worried about your feet sweating, you can spray on any fresh deodorant on the soles of your feet as well
before you wear your shoes
You never know what emergencies will happen during the night.
So, it's actually really important to plan what goes in your clutch before you run out the door.
I popped up a guide right here to give you guys an idea of what kind of things you can include in your clutch for the night.
Some of the things you may not have thought of so use this and make sure these are all in your bag before you leave.
Another really cool technique is a collarbone contour technique. So I'm gonna show you right now how to contour your collarbone.
So, you just use a contour right here. This is the pattern. And the thing is collarbones are often ignored,
but if you guys contour it, it honestly pops and it makes a huge difference when you're taking photos.
I'm usually not a big fan of waterproof makeup because it takes a long time
to remove. But because you're gonna be out all night,
you're gonna be sweating, dancing, taking photos, gonna be a really good idea to switch to waterproof
mascara, eyeliner, and eye makeup so your eyes aren't running down your face by the end of the night.
If you buy shoes that are a little bit too tight on the front, but they're super cute and you want to wear them anyways,
you can actually pre-stretch them by putting on thick socks on your feet and wear those shoes and a warm hairdryer and
stretching it out that way and this will totally stretch out the front of your shoes.
Guys, I'm all about testing and trying out new beauty products, you know, that is my life, but one time not to do this
is like a month before prom.
You never know when you're gonna get a reaction and I really wanted to say this because it happened to myself a month ago
I tested out a new skin care product and it actually it broke me out.
I had contact dermatitis and that lasts between 14 to 28 days.
So, that could be a whole month of an allergic reaction on your face. And you don't want that to happen before prom.
So make sure you stick to products that you've always used, loved ,and tested or test them like at least a month before hand.
Okay, guys, I am a huge fan of making sure my eyebrows are on fleek. And because you're gonna be sweating and dancing all night,
here's a good hack to make sure your eyebrows stay on no matter what happens.
All you need to do is grab an eyebrow
tattoo. And there are so many different ones from different brands. Buy one that matches your eyebrow color and then the night before
just draw on the shape of your eyebrows.
Of course you might want to practice
this before the actual night
Then in the morning, peel it off and you should have your eyebrows tattooed and tinted on if you're not going to go out like this,
you can still put your regular eyebrow makeup on top.
But it just makes sure once your eyebrow makeup wears off, there is still some color underneath so you'll never be without your brows.
Okay, guys, I hope you guys enjoyed these bunch of tips, hacks, and DIY's.
