Looking prom pretty can be a cinch, as long as you come prepared. Here are a few tips for making sure that you look your best on prom night:

• If you’re trying something complicated, like daring false eyelashes, try practicing putting them on a few times before prom.
• Carry a prom emergency kit in your purse consisting of band aids, spare pantyhose, nail polish, makeup, hairspray, safety pins, breath mints and bobby pins.
• Experiment with different hair and makeup looks before the big night.
• If you’re using any self tanning products, start using them a month or two before prom night.
• Always test new beauty products to make sure you won’t have an allergic reaction.
• If you’re going to dye your hair, try having it done at least a few weeks before prom so that there’s time to fix it if needed.
• Save time on prom preparations by having your nails done the day before prom or by doing them yourself the night before.
• If you plan on wearing your hair up, start growing out your locks at least a few months before the big day.
• Choose shoes that are actually comfortable and wear them a few times around the house before prom night so you can get used to walking in them. Sure they may look cute, but those shoes also have to take you out on the dance floor on prom night. Make sure you can move in them!
• Avoid getting a haircut right before prom night so that you don’t end up with a style you hate.
• Practice your hair and makeup style before prom so you can see how it looks.

1.) Bowling

Seriously! Hit up your local lanes for some midnight bowling under blacklights, disco balls, and pumping music. Order up a pizza, some soda, and lots of great snacks to have a post-prom party that’s sure to be a strike with your friends!

2.) An Island Luau

If you or a friend has a home with a pool that you’re willing to volunteer, then talk to your parents about having an island luau complete with fruity non-alcoholic drinks with umbrellas, swimming, tiki torches, and maybe even some of your favorite island beats!

3.) Lock In

You can also try working with your school to arrange for a lock in after the prom has ended so students can be kept safe and still have tons of fun! See if you can get your school to host movies, games, bands, activities, and other fun stuff all night long (with plenty of food of course!) for everyone after prom in a lock in setting that ensures everyone can have a safe but memorable prom night.
