You want to make sure that everything you choose is going to go well with your dress. In most cases you will choose your dress and shoes first, and you want to choose a dress that is going to go well with your complexion. If you have fair skin, you don't want to choose a dark color that is going to draw attention to your features rather than enhancing them. Darker colors are fine for those who have olive skin or darker but not for those with fair to medium skin. It's important to choose a dress that will not make your skin look pale. Pastels are the best colors for those who have a fair complexion while those with a dark complexion can choose darker colors with both dress, nail and lip colors.
When you are preparing for your prom you want to make sure your dress, hair and makeup all go together well. Do not use this time to choose an outlandish nail color or design but rather stay with pastels if you are fair skinned and save the dark colors for other occasions. Those who have dark hair and complexion can certainly wear darker colors on both nails lips, but light to medium skin needs to stay with pastels and earth tones in order to obtain the classy and sexy look you want to present for your prom.
Both your hair and your make up should be able to set off the beauty of your prom dress. You want to choose a dress, hairstyle and make up that will make you look your very best without drawing attention to any one part of your features. For instance, if you are fair skinned choose pastel colors rather than bright colors and do not use dark colors on your lips or nails. Do not use this time to use a nail color that is going to draw attention to your nails rather than your dress and face. Everything you wear should blend in subtly and not take away from any other part of your dress, hair or makeup.
