3 Hot Homecoming Looks!

 
We love homecoming, ‘cause it’s all about fun with your BFFs and isn’t as fancy as prom. The key to fab fall hair and makeup is keeping it simple, not overdone.
 
Our three fave homecoming looks are easy enough to do yourself, and are flattering on everyone. Get your glam on!
 
Romantic
You’re all about effortless elegance. Think shimmery eyes, lush lips and wavy hair. Could it get any prettier?

Makeup
Long, fluttery lashes are key to lookin’ feminine and flirty. First curl your lashes with an eyelash curler, then swipe on a couple of coats of a lengthening mascara. A sweep of mauve shadow keeps eyes lookin’ sweet.

 Skip the traditional pink pucker and opt for a pretty peach gloss. It looks super-modern, but still soft and subtle.

 
 
 
 To finish off your lovely look, dust your shoulders with a shimmer powder.Fairytale pretty!
 
Hair
Use a curling iron to sculpt your hair into ringlets. Run your fingers through your strands to loosen ‘em up. Gather hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic. Use a couple pretty barrettes or floral pins to finish off your ‘do.

Edgy
Bold eyes and runway-inspired hair is what ya need if you wanna wow ’em on the dance floor. Turn heads, girlie!

Makeup
To create a dramatic effect, use black liquid liner on your top lids. Extend the liner slightly behind your last line, to get a winged look. Line your bottom lids in a shimmery blue pencil to add bit of color. The rest of your face should be relatively makeup-free, to keep the emphasis on your lips and eyes.
 
 
 
 
Slap some color on that pucker. Try a fuchsia lipstick for a pout that screams pretty ‘n’ punk.
 
 
 
 
 Forget about shiny, girly polishes and paint your digits with a dark matte lacquer. Unexpectedly cool, girl.
 
Hair
Pull hair back into a high, tight ponytail. Apply a bit of gel to the front, to get a seriously shiny style. Use a rattail comb to tease the back of the pony and give it major poof. The cool contrast is way trendy.

Au Naturale
Bring out your gorgeousness by letting your natural beauty shine. Great for when you’ve gotta get ready in a hurry, too!
 
Makeup
Smooth concealer on any blemishes you might have. Brush on a sheer mineral powder to your face for a flawless finish.
Apple a tan shadow to your lids and a couple quick coats of mascara. Opt for a light pink gloss on your lips and pop the tube in your clutch to touch up later.

Give your cheeks a healthy glow with a rosy blush. Don’t go overboard, and be sure to blend.

Skip a full-on mani by hitting nails with one coat of a sheer polish. Right now, we’re loving icy, barely-there whites.

Hair
When it comes to a cute ‘do, stick to something subtle. Got straight hair? Go for a low, side braid with a couple of pretty bobby pins to keep stray strands in place. Are you a girl with curls or waves? Apply an anti-frizz serum to damp hair and blowdry using a diffuser. You’ve got that laidback, pretty style, like Vanessa Hudgens.

what length of dress is appropriate for homecoming? I have NO clue what to wear!




Hey girlie,

It varies from school to school, to be honest! Some girls really get dressed up and wear maxi dress lengths (more fancy), while other girls stick to cocktail attire with cute dresses that hit above the knee. Try asking someone who has been to your school's homecoming before - either what they're wearing or what kinda dress they're looking for. They'll be able to guide ya!

My homecoming dress is black, and I have silver strappy heals to go with it. My hair is above my shoulder and naturally strait. Also I have brown eyes. What kind of makeup and hair should I do to get a girly but edgy look? THANKS! <3

Hey Doll!

Black dresses give you the perfect reason to rock edgy makeup and hair– your dress is basic so your look should be anything but! Wear your hair different than you normally do, after all, homecoming doesn't happen everyday. Try loose waves with a cute flower hair clip to make it different. Also in are braids and loose buns, check out this post for cute, celeb-inspired hair styles. 

For makeup, you should totally try the trendy jewel tones, and violet shades will really make your brown eyes pop. Try a dark purple liner with a silvery-purple shadow and a few layers of black mascara. Also use a little silver glitter on your eyelids to really make your eyes stand out. Since your eye makeup will be the most dramatic, keep your face and lips more neutral with just a little bronzer and nude or pale pink lip gloss. Hope you have a fab homecoming!

style is not about wearing designer labels

style is not about wearing designer labels. It is personal.
I like to mix a lot of different things, some thrift shop stuff, some discount store (like Target), and on occasion, some designer, but only if I get a good deal on it.
I think I look stylish and people always compliment my outfits so it must be working Smile

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
 
Monday again? Sigh. What kind of student are you?
