GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the quintessential high school event where guys reveal their polished side and ladies display their style vibe like movie stars upon the red carpet.

You've been planning for months -- shopping for the perfect dress, shoes and accessories.

Jeannie Mai, Hollywood make-up artist and spokeswoman for NAO never accept ordinary(TM) cosmetics, offers the following tips for creating a seriously sumptuous look for prom.

"This year's prom dresses are elaborate and rich in color, so less will be more when it comes to make-up," says Mai. Mai suggests picking one shade that will complement or match the dominant shade of your dress and then choose to either focus on your eyes or lips.

"Smoky, dark eyes and nude glossed lips make the perfect face for a rich, red dress for example," said Mai. "Or focus on your lips with a succulent red gloss, such as NAO never accept ordinary(TM) Rock Star Red liquid lip color, paired with softly lined, lashed eyes."

Mai suggests a dusting of glitter, which will shine in photography. "A little bit goes a long way, however, so use it but don't overdo it." NAO never accept ordinary loose body glitter is available in a variety of shades to complement any look. "NAO body glitter is ideal for achieving a pixie shimmer effect anywhere on your lips, hair or body. Apply it to clear gloss for dazzling lips."

Gone are the days of dry, matte, powder-finished skin, which actually produces a heavy white reflection in photos. "Glowing, bronzed and dewy finishes look model-perfect in photos and can be achieved by mixing sheer foundation, such as Artistry(R) Self-Defining Sheer foundation, and moisturizer," says Mai.

Mai advises applying foundation with a blending blush-shaped brush for smooth, natural, glowing coverage.

For a flawless bronze effect, NAO Mineral Pigment in Trace can be mixed with body lotion and applied all over. "It works amazingly and will stay on throughout the night without rubbing off," adds Mai.

The final key to looking great for prom is to be yourself and define your own beauty, says Mai. "Now is your time to shine. Share your sass with the world and have fun!"
