Like Many of us we can't afford to pay a fortune to make our daughters beautiful for prom. And Like we all know that is an important date. So I'm here to help, I can show you get the dress, and hair-dos, make-up, and have your nails done. And it cost hardly anything.
Instructions
1. Ok The first step is to find a dress. Did you know that places like the goodwill, thrift stores, consignment and pawn shops carry very expensive prom dresses at VERY low prices? Our local goodwill were we live has $500 prom dresses for as little as $50. So your looking at paying 10% of what you would if it was new. And I'm not talking about dresses that went out of style in the 80s. I'm saying really nice, really expensive, and really recent. And if it comes down to it and you just cannot afford a dress, find a friend that wears the same size or a size bigger than you and borrow that dress and have someone alter the dress so that it can be unaltered for when you return it later. Just because the dress was from last year does not mean it isn't beautiful. I've also know many girls to get their moms to make their dress. Did you know you can find material that already has sequins on it. Buy a design or just go with something simple like a dress that goes behind the neck with not much back but is long with a split in the side.
2. Now as for your nails. Did you know that Walmart carries the professional style nails? Gel nails. And if you can find someone that has a steady hand and knows a little about manicures then that works great to. If not then keep reading and I'll give instructions on a manicure.
1. Remove all nail polish from finger nails
2. Soak one hand at a time in a solution of dish detergent and water mixed well(just to the nail beds is necessary)
3. Use a cuticle remover to remove and push back any and all cuticles on your nails (the thin white strip on back of nails)
4. Dry hand and repeat process with other hand.
3. As for hair, It doesn't take much to make a beautiful up style if that's what you choose. There are so many things out there now a days that are inexpensive that will hold your hair up through out the prom. If your hair is long enough you can simply add mouse to your hair then gather hair like for a ponytail but instead twist it and secure it with a claw style clasp. Then the hair that is up just curl it and allow curls to fall down the back and sides. Pull just a little hair out from sides(preferably right at sides of bangs) and curl it and allow to fall down. Make sure to spray hair well or it will not last through the night. Two of the best hairspray out there are Aussie mega hold in metal spray can and suave in the metal spray can. Now I know we like to protect the environment but please remember this is only for one night. After getting your hair fixed the way you like you can add to it by buying little stick on gems that you find in the craft department of walmart. They also at times carry hair accessories that simply slide into the hair after it's been styles giving the look of beauty without the price.
4. For your make-up. And it's always best to save the hair and make-up for last part. The are so many brands out there and I'm sure we all have our favs. My favorite brand is Max Factor. It covers great and not as expensive as some I've seen. Always choose colors that are a lighter tone than your dress. Use pale if possible. Then after applying all your make-up add a little glitter. Buy some facial glitter that has no colors to it just the glitters and lightly put it on eyes, cheeks, and dust some in the hair. The lights from the prom will hit you and you will look astonishing.
5. Try to find a cute little purse to carry some things in like, powder, tissue, and cell phone. Believe it or not you can go to the little girls section in the toys and find a purse that you can dye to match your dress. All at walmart.
And if you will look below at tips and warnings this can help give more ideas.
