Choosing A Prom Dress
Color plays a very important part when choosing a prom dress. Blue is a classic color that will always be in style. Over the years more and more shades of blue prom dresses have come on the market. This gives you a large variety of blues to choose from when picking a blue prom dress. Many women wear a blue prom dress thinking that the blue will make them feel like Cinderella. Even though that may be the case a blue dress should also be stunning to the eye which means the dress needs to fit the body properly in all areas.
The Shades Of Blue
There are so many different shades of blue that once you start looking at them you may become dizzy from all the different blues, so knowing what shade you’re looking at can help to simplify the whole process. The light blue shades include light blue, powder blue, periwinkle and baby blue. The middle or medium blue shades are dodger blue, blue, azure and dark blue. The darker shades of blue include cobalt blue, indigo, royal blue, cerulean blue, midnight blue, navy blue, sapphire and denim. While a blue may seem like just a blue all of the different shades have their own unique colors and tones. This also means that not all colors or tones are right for every person.
Choosing The Right Blue
When choosing the right blue prom dress there are a few things you need to consider before purchasing the dress. You should take into consideration your skin color, hair color and eye color. Your height and weight can also be a factor when choosing a blue that will look the best on you. Lighter shades of blue have a way of widening the body and also washing out the skin. If you are a larger women or a very fair skinned woman then a light blue prom dress is not for you. Darker shades of blue not only appear as the more powerful blue but that also give the appearance of a slimmer body. While dark colors can give your skin a washed out look medium blues can add radiance and a beautiful glow to you.
Eyeshadow For Prom Night
When choosing an eyeshadow to go with your blue prom dress and don’t be under the impression that your make-up has to match your dress. The best eyeshadow is a color that is opposite your eye color on the color wheel. For instance if you have blue eyes browns and muted colors are perfect for you. If you have green or hazel eyes try using a pale pink or lavender. By choosing the opposite of your eye color it will make your eyes really stand out. If you are really dead set on wearing blue choose the color wisely or you could end up looking like a throw back from the 1980\'s retro era. Try using a pale shade of blue, no matter what your dress color is this will work well with it. If the shadow has flecks of sparkles in it choose one with smaller flecks or pieces since these will stay in place better and not end up all over your cheeks.
Accessories For A Blue Dress
The most common mistake that young women make when adding accessories to their blue prom dress is adding accessories in a different shade of blue. There are ways to avoid this such as having your handbag and shoes dyed to the exact shade of your dress. This will eliminate the fact they may not be the same shade. When adding accessories such as necklaces, earrings or bracelets trying adding white or cream pearls for a classic look. You can also add diamonds or silver jewelry for an elegant look. Another great tip is to look at the accessories against the dress in different lighting such as outside, fluorescent lights and regular household lighting. This will give you a better idea of how similar or different the two shades are. |
