Smokey Geometric Liner

Glitter Lips
Melodie Jeng//Getty Images Upgrade your classic lip look with massive amounts of sparkle. Apply your fave shade (red or blue, or pink, whatever!), then use a small brush to apply glitter and gloss. Before you leave the house, dust off the excess, so you don't get a mouth full of flakes.

Glossy Eyelids
ANGELA WEISS//Getty Images Make your eyes pop with high-gloss lids. Apply a base shadow color, then top it off with a glossy cream or salve. A shiny shadow will stay on longer when it's layered.

Smoky Neutrals
Jon Kopaloff//Getty Images This trick is perfect for that all-natural-but-still-glam-af look we all hope to achieve. Layer on some deep shadows that are in the same color family as your skin tone. It will play up your eyes and your complexion.
Charcoal Shine
Rosdiana Ciaravolo//Getty Images This look takes 'smokey eye' to a whole new level! Rub a metallic-y charcoal pigment on your entire eyelid, then add some below your lower lashes instead of liner. Top it with some falsies and a few coats of black mascara to make your gaze even more intense.

Colorful Wings

Goth Lips
Steve Granitz//Getty Images An almost-black lipstick feels like a big commitment for prom, but if you keep the rest of your makeup super light, it'll come out looking so glamorous. Make sure you play up your brows big time to balance out the dark lip.

Neon Lids
Hippolyte Petit//Getty Images Your whole wardrobe is going neon for spring, and even though a neon prom dress would be a little extra, you can rep the trend with your prom makeup. Pick a neon eyeshadow that matches your prom dress (or prom suit) and drag it out into a cat-eye. The angular shape feels extra glam.
All Over Gloss
Taylor Hill//Getty Images This dewy look is so laid-back glam. Just pop some clear gloss on your eyelids, apply a pink lippie and then smudge the gloss on your lips. It's basically the easiest prom look ever.

Pink Eyes
Kevin Mazur/MG19//Getty Images Bright shadows are majorly hot right now, but for prom, you need a whole new take. Use a terra cotta shade to define your crease. Then, cover the rest of your lid with a poppin' hot pink shade. Add some more pink below your lashes, then top with an orange-based blush to match.
Yellow Liner
Rodin Eckenroth//Getty Images Using a felt-tip liner, draw a thin line along your lash line and wing it out at the corner. Use the liner to draw an additional wing using the first one as a guide.

Mermaid Eyes
Steve Granitz//Getty Images Shades of blue and green feel so ~aquatic~ without looking like you're in a costume. Use a light blue shade to cover your eyelids, then add a smokey green to the crease for a more sultry vibe. Finish it off by smudging the green eyeshadow on your bottom lash line.
Monochromatic Vibes
Taylor Hill//Getty Images Match your eyes, lips, and cheeks to your prom outfit to pull together a fiery monochromatic makeup look like Zendaya's. It's surprisingly wearable and oh-so-fierce.

Bright Blue Eyes

White Graphic Liner
Pascal Le Segretain//Getty Images After swiping a pretty shimmer shade across your lids, amplify the look with a white graphic eyeliner. Create a line along your lashes and round out the shape into your crease to get a prom look that's out of this world.
