When choosing your prom dress you have to consider it is being seen in two different ways. You need to make sure the design is a knock out in person....as well as in a photo! After all, what is left of your epic night but for tons of photos with your friends and (maybe even) date? We always encourage our customers to take a quick snapshot with their i-phones n cells when trying on a dress. It is a great way to help make up your mind if you need to go back and look at them at a later time - clear of head. It also gives you a rough idea of how you photograph in it! But lets be frank, dressing room lighting is the most *unflattering* so take them with a grain of salt. Once under the lights n pulsing cam flashes they really come to life!
On the night of your prom you may do your own makeup or choose to go to a salon for that professional touch. Our shop, Merrily Couture networks with plenty of local salons to give you exclusive deals on hair, makeup, nails, facials and all sorts of spa goodies. Be sure to ask your local retailer if they do the same!
When getting your makeup done be sure to ask for some contouring of the face, neck and even bosom! Harsh flashes can wash you out and make you look flat and give that "extra 10 lbs" we always hear about. But a little shading with bronzer and highlighters and you can really show off your features and avoid a flat-fate.
Here is a quick video guide on how contouring can help you look your best:
