Want an easy to do look for Prom night? All this look requires is soft, smooth hair, a couple of bobby pins, and a bit of volume on the crown and you’ll be runway ready for Prom.

Romantic Updo

This romantic updo may take a little work, but isn’t the end result worth it? If your dress is long, flowy, and elegant, then this is the hairstyle for you.

Floral Half Up Do

If you want something fun and easy-to-do, you can go with this flower braid half up half down hairstyle. This is definitely one of those half up half down prom hairstyles that look perfect with curly and wavy hair

Bow Bun

Because a bouffant is so last season, this year, why not go for a bow bun? Trade the classic bouffant hairstyle to something more modern. Plus, this bow bun is so cute, adorable and very girly!

 High Ponytail

I’m a huge fan of formal ponytail hairstyles. I think it’s because I don’t want to keep worrying about my hair during an event and a ponytail will make sure my hair stays in place. If you’re looking for a ponytail hairstyle, you can try this one out.

Retro Waves

The side swept wavy hair is always a huge hit at formal occasions. This classic vintage look will never go out of style It’s timeless and ever so elegant. To stick with the vintage theme, pair this hairstyle with a bold red lipstick.

Slick It Back

Want to veer away from the usual wavy and curly prom hairstyles? Well, go edgy and sleek with this rockin’ slick-back hairstyle that will look great on tight-fitting dresses.

Sexy Waves

Some girls like their waves to fall in different directions, while others just want them to be neat and clean. If you fall into the latter category, you may just love this hairstyle. For a vintage touch, curl your bangs sideways.

Loose Halo

Are you looking for a hairstyle fit for a princess (or Kate Middleton)? This loosely twisted halo tutorial will not only make you the fairest of them all, it will also make you look like a divine angel!

Ribbon Bouffant Updo

Glam Vintage

Now, this is another vintage prom hairstyle that you might look for your medium-length hair. It’s a glam vintage look that parts the hair at the side, putting the spotlight on those soft waves. Honestly, I think only medium hair girls can pull off this look to the tee

Fancy Faux Hawk

Dare to be different, but not too bold or edgy? I’ve got the perfect hairstyle for you! This fancy faux hawk is both unique and elegant. There’s that sass you’re looking for without leaving the sophistication behind.

Wispy Updo

Yes girl! Your short hair can turn into a beautiful wispy updo! You will just need bobby pins, hair spray, and tons of patience to pull this off.

Prom Pixie

If you want to go vintage, you can do that too. Curl your hair in big waves and just let it fall into place. Don’t forget that red lipstick now!

Simple Headband Do

Simple and pretty, this short prom hairstyle will suit any princess-y dress. Just slick the hair back and wear a plain thin headband and that’s it! Because really, most often than not, being simple seals the deal.

Half Up Half Down for Short Hair

Emma Watson is one of those girls who love short hairstyles. One of my favorite red carpet hairstyles from her is this one. It’s beautiful and so classy! It’s the perfect hairstyle for girls with short hair as it can look great with any dress!

Braid and Bun

This hairstyle was made for Instagram (and Prom). Show off your facial features by pulling your hair back into a bun. The braids add a nice bohemian touch. This is one of those cute prom hairstyles you can do by yourself.

Two-Tone Hair Braid

If you have two-toned hair, this look is perfect for showing off your range of hair color. If not, this look is still perfect for showing off!

Double Waterfall Braids

As inept as we are with waterfall braids, we can’t help but get googly-eyed over this look. Double waterfall braids add pizzazz to the entire look and the end result is a stunning hairstyle that highlights your beautiful mane.

Side Wrap Braid

I mentioned earlier how popular the side swept curls look is, right? Now, add some pretty braids and you’ve elevated a classic look to a whole new level of pretty.

Half Up Boho Braid

We love how ethereal and fairytale-like this hairstyle is. And because it’s so pretty, don’t just save it for Prom, but for every occasion!

Fishtail French Braided Bun

Sometimes clean and put together gets boring. For the ladies out there who are into the messy, effortless look, this messy bun is for you!

Formal Braid for Short Hair

Yep, we didn’t forget about you! Even if you have short hair, you can still rock a braided hairstyle for prom! I like this hairstyle as it is easy to do and has the wispy finish that I really love!

If you’re not sure how to pull off this trick successfully, keep reading to learn seven tips for perfect tightline eyeliner.

1. Don’t Overdo It

via

When you tightline your eyeliner, avoid applying eyeliner where you would normally put it. This double-lined look generally looks too overdone and messy.

2. Use the Right Liner

via

You should always use a kohl eyeliner when tightlining your eyeliner. Kohl eyeliner is designed specifically to apply smoothly and stay put in a moist area like the upper rim of your eye. Kohl pencil liners work best for tightlining; trying to use gel or liquid formulas in this area usually doesn’t works out well.

3. Know Where to Line

via

You know by now that tightlining your eyeliner means lining the upper rim of your eye with eyeliner. However, the region you should line is more specific than that. When tightlining your eyeliner, run your pencil along the upper rim of your eye from the outer edge of your eye to your tear duct.

Also, gently press the pencil into the spaces between your lashes to line these areas as well in order to prevent any blank spots in your lash line.

4. Try Your Bottom Lash Line

via

If you want to dramatize the effect of your tightline eyeliner, you can line your bottom lash line as well as the upper rim of your eye. Start from the outer corner of your eye and run the pencil along the lower rim of your eye.

Depending on your preference, you can either stop when you get to the middle of your eye or continue until you reach your tear duct.

5. Keep Your Pencil Clean

via

You should always make sure that you keep your eyeliner pencil clean before you apply tightline eyeliner. The rims of your eyes are much more at risk of developing an infection than other places where you normally apply makeup, so it is especially important to use clean instruments on that area.

Clean your eyeliner pencil by sharpening it a little bit every time you want to use it. This step will shave off the outer layer of the pencil that might have developed bacteria and leave it clean and sharp for you to use.

6. Curl Your Eyelashes

via

After you finish applying tightline eyeliner, emphasize the volumizing effect of your liner on your lashes by curling your eyelashes. Wait a minute or two after you apply the liner before you curl your lashes in order to avoid smudging your eyeliner with your lash curler.

7. Remove With a Q-Tip

via

Because tightline eyeliner is applied along the rims of your eyes, it can be much more difficult to remove than standard eyeliner. You should never leave residue of your liner on the rims of your eyes because that can increase your risk of eye infection or irritation.

Instead, make sure that you remove all of your tightline eyeliner by using a Q-tip soaked in a gentle eye makeup remover. Run the Q-tip along the rims of your eyes, pressing down gently, until you’ve removed all of the liner.

Tightlining your eyeliner isn’t always easy, and it can take some practice. However, that practice is well worth it considering the transformative results tightline eyeliner can have on the appearance of your eyes and eyelashes. Use the tips in this post to discover seven tips for perfect tightline eyeliner that can help you master the process in no time.
