The truth is prom is a great experience for both high school boys and girls. Of course, boys and girls view the dance differently. The girls look forward to buying a nice dress and dancing. Most boys could care less about what tux they rent, and the only good aspect of dancing is the chance to maybe dance with girls.
So boys, here are some tips that you might actually care about:
1. When asking your parents for money for prom-related activities, act like you really care about your date, even if you don't. Here is the reason. Your parents are more likely to give you more money if they think you are really interested in the girl than if you are just taking some random friend from high school. Your parents will begin to think about their prom and their high school crush and how great it would have been to have the night of their lives. So act excited about prom and your date, even if you aren't.
2. When choosing a tux, don't get too creative. It is ok to look like all of the other guys. It is not okay to stand out in a weird, ugly way. So while you may feel conformist, just do the easiest and simplest thing and rent a basic, decent tux.
3. Asking a senior girl is nice and all, but don't feel limited. Remember, there are a ton of underclassmen girls that are dying to go to prom. You have a better chance of getting a very good-looking underclassmen to go with you than a senior. The senior girl probably already knows who she wants to go with or has some college boy lined up as a backup. No shame in taking a good-looking junior or sophomore.
4. Line up your date well in advance of the prom, especially if you want to take a senior. Senior girls are very paranoid about not being asked to prom. If their first choice asked someone else, they will begin to feel desperate and will latch on to the first decent guy that asks them. If you think you can wait around before asking a girl to prom, you will likely see her with some guy who is way less cool than you.
5. Remember that your date likely cares a lot more about the prom itself than you do. You might just view it as some silly dance that everyone goes to, but she might very well view it as the most important day in her life so far.
6. Compliment your date on the dress she is wearing and her hairstyle. She likely spent hours both choosing out her dress as well as getting her hair styled for the night. She hopes you will like it, so let her know how great she looks.
7. While your prom will likely be held at a hotel or country club, remember that it is still a school-related activity. Don't do anything stupid that might get you expelled.
Makeup is often one of those things you can have too much of. The latest fashion trends are all the same. They all say that less is more. Having just enough make up gives you that amazing look you are after without making it look fake or overdone. As you consider the options you have for makeup for prom, keep in mind a few tricks and tips that can help you to look as natural as you would like to, but covering those flaws and enhancing your beauty. You do not need a lot of makeup to create a great look.
For the first step, choose the right concealers. On young skin, it is unlikely that you need a large amount of foundation, which simply clogs pores. Rather, use a concealer to hide any blemishes and to mask any discoloration. If you do use a foundation, match it to your skin tone well. Do not go with a too dark foundation, as it will look bad. You want to keep your skin even and using a natural foundation is always important. Once you have this in place, you can choose just a few more items to put on.
Choose an area of your face to highlight. This is likely to be your best feature. Do you want your eyes to stand out or do you want your lips too stand out. You can even highlight your cheeks if you would like to. When you select just one location to highlight, the result is fantastic. Let us assume that you select the keys. To keep them natural looking, do not put too much eye makeup on. Rather, go for a light layer of colors that really help your eyes to pop. Use a blend of three shades of eye shadow. Use eyeliner that is a lighter color.
For the other areas of your face, choose appropriate colors to create a natural look. For example, the lips do not have to stand out. Use a lip liner and lipstick that is just slighting different from your lip's natural color. For your cheeks, choose a color of blush that is just slighting darker than your skin tone. Apply it just to the cheekbones in a sweeping motion. This is where your face would normally blush.
When you keep colors and tones in check, you create a very beautiful, natural look. You will want your makeup to look great on your prom night, so give yourself the chance to try out a few different combinations in the weeks leading up to prom. Remember, this is a special night, so you do want to invest in a look that is stunningly beautiful. Going for a natural, but well-done look is key here.
