Prom is your moment to shine — and it calls for makeup that’s timeless, camera-ready, and enhances your natural beauty. This year’s go-to aesthetic is all about balance: a soft-matte complexion, perfectly sculpted lips, softly defined eyes, and full, feathered brows. It’s the perfect blend of elegance and glow, with every feature subtly enhanced. Whether you're doing your own makeup or heading to a glam session, here's a breakdown of all the steps to get the ultimate soft glam look (with iconic ABH essentials, of course).    Soft-Matte Skin  The key to a flawless base is all in the prep and product pairing. Reach for a lightweight skin tint like Beauty Balm for a breathable, even-toned canvas that smooths imperfections without looking heavy. For more coverage and a natural-matte finish, follow up with Impeccable Foundation—this formula is loved for its ability control shine while maintaining a velvety, skin-like look.  Use a dense buffing brush or Kabuki brush like our A30 Pro Brush to seamlessly blend foundation into the skin. This will ensure you get the prom-perfect application, blending and results. To lock it all in, dust on a light layer of Loose Setting Powder, focusing on the T-zone to control oil throughout the night. Finish with long-lasting Impeccable Setting Spray to keep your makeup fresh through every dance and photo op. Sculpted Lips  Sculpted, fuller-looking lips will elevate any prom look. Start by defining your shape with Lip Liner that either matches your lipstick or is one shade deeper. Using lip liner helps create the dimensional look you want and prevents lipstick from feathering.  Next, apply a soft-focus lip color like our cult-classic Lip Velvet, which adds full-pigment, true-matte shades without emphasizing texture. Whether you go with a classic rose or a muted berry, the key is smooth, even color. For a surge of shine, finish with a swipe of Lip Gloss—apply just to the center of the lips for a light-reflecting highlight that makes your pout pop in photos.   Soft Glam Eyes  Soft glam is all about shimmer and subtle definition. Use a mini eyeshadow palette with a mix of warm to cool neutrals and soft metallics. Our Soft Glam II Mini Eyeshadow Palette is the perfect combination of matte, satin, and metallic finishes that are fully pigmented and easy to blend to create endless looks, no matter your personal prom style. Here’s one of our favorite soft glam eye makeup looks for prom: start with a matte base shade, build depth in the crease with a soft brown, and top the lid with a champagne shimmer. This gives the eyes dimension without overpowering your natural features.  To define the eyes, reach for Liquid Eyeliner to create a wing or to line the lash line for subtle lift. Then, layer on Lash Sculpt Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara to stretch each lash from root to tip, creating an eye-opening effect without clumps or flakes. Volumized Brows  Brows frame the face, and a full, feathered look is gorgeous for prom. Start with a brow pencil like Brow Wiz ® to lightly fill and add detail to parse areas using small, hair-like strokes. Choose a shade that matches your natural brow color for that soft effect.  To add volume and texture, brush through a Volumizing Tinted Brow Gel. This not only sets the brow hairs but gives them a fuller appearance. For extra hold and a polished finish, keep Clear Brow Gel on hand to keep every hair in place all night long.  With this soft glam prom look, you’ll radiate elegance, confidence, and timeless beauty as you create memories that last a lifetime!

Want to enhance your natural beauty with sculpted, defined features? Contour sticks are a versatile makeup tool for both subtle, everyday looks and more glam, dramatic effects. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essentials of contour sticks, provide a step-by-step application process, and highlight common mistakes to avoid. Unlock the secrets to a flawless, contoured look with Anastasia Beverly Hills! Understanding Contour Sticks Contour sticks are designed to enhance the structure of your face by creating the look of natural-looking shadows. Unlike traditional powders or creams, contour sticks offer a creamy texture that glide effortlessly onto skin, making them easy to blend and build as desired. Contour sticks are particularly beginner-friendly, since they allow for more precise application and control, with effortless, seamless blending. Compared to loose powders or liquid contour formulas, they are more versatile to use with other makeup products, and are essentially mess-free and easier for travel. Benefits of Using Contour Sticks The benefits of using a contour stick are plentiful for beginners. The creamy formulation is buildable, blendable, and glides on smoothly. It can be built up gradually, allowing you to create a contoured look that suits your comfort level, applied to different areas of the face with ease and precision. Contour sticks are usually packaged in a convenient twist-up format, eliminating the necessity for brushes to allow application to be quick and intuitive. This ease of use makes it an ideal choice for those just starting to explore the world of contouring, or people who love an innovative formula. Choosing The Best Contour Stick Shade Choosing the right contour shade for your skin tone is crucial to achieving a natural look with your contour stick. Generally, you want to select a shade that is one to two shades darker than your foundation or natural skin tone for contouring and a shade that is one to two shades lighter for highlighting. For warm undertones, opt for contour sticks with golden or peachy hues, while cool undertones are best complemented by taupe or ash-toned shades. By selecting the right contour shades, you can effortlessly sculpt your features and enhance your overall makeup look. Step-by-Step Guide: How to Apply Contour Sticks Step 1: Before diving into the art of contouring, it's essential to prep your skin for a flawless finish. Start with a clean, moisturized face to create a smooth canvas. Apply a primer suited to your skin type, which will help your contour stick glide on effortlessly and last throughout the day. If you have oily skin, opt for a mattifying primer; for dry skin, a hydrating primer will do wonders. Step 2: Let’s get into basic application techniques for contouring your face. Choose a contour stick that complements your skin tone (see section above for choosing the best contour stick shade). For beginners, apply the contour stick in a few key areas: along the sides of your nose, under your cheekbones, and along your jawline. You can also add a touch to your forehead to create dimension. Use light strokes to avoid harsh lines, and remember, less is more when you’re starting out! More professional skill levels can work with different shades and application techniques.   Step 3: The final step is blending for that seamless finish. Using a damp makeup sponge, clean finger, or a brush, gently blend the contour into your skin. Start at the edges of the contour and work your way inwards, using a tapping motion to ensure a natural look. For a softer effect, you can also blend upwards towards your hairline and downwards towards your neck. Take your time with this step, as proper blending is key to achieving a beautifully blurred, professional finish. With these tips, you'll master the contour stick in no time! Common Mistakes With Contour to Avoid When diving into the world of contouring with a contour stick, beginners often make a few common mistakes that can hinder their results. One of the most prevalent errors is over-applying the product. To avoid this, start with a small amount and build gradually. Remember, it’s easier to add more product than to take it away. A good rule of thumb is to apply your contour stick in thin lines, focusing on key areas like the hollows of the cheeks, the sides of the nose, and along the jawline. Blend well to create a seamless look. Another mistake is choosing the wrong undertones. Contour sticks come in various shades, and it’s crucial to select one that complements your skin tone. If you have warm undertones, opt for a contour stick with a warm, golden hue. Cooler undertones should lean towards shades that have a cooler, taupe-like finish. Testing the product on your jawline in natural light can help you find the perfect match. Remember, application errors can happen to anyone. If you notice harsh lines or uneven blending, don’t panic! You can correct these mistakes by using a damp makeup sponge or a clean brush to blend out the edges gently. This will help soften any harsh lines and create a more natural finish. Remember, practice makes perfect, and with these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to mastering contouring with your Anastasia Beverly Hills contour stick. Shop Smooth Blur Contour Stick

Want sculpted, well-defined lips that make an impression? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll unveil expert tips and techniques to help you achieve sculpted-looking lips that will leave everyone in awe.    The Art of Lip Contouring  Using Lip Liner strategically, you can refine your lip shape and create the illusion of more defined and sculpted lips.   Begin by selecting a lip liner that matches your natural lip color or the shade of lipstick you plan to wear. Next, outline your lips, following your natural lip shape. To create the appearance of fuller lips, slightly overline the outer corners of your upper lip, and fill in your lips with the lip liner to create a seamless base for your lipstick.   Our Lip Liners are highly pigmented and glide on smoothly, allowing you to define and shape your lips with precision. The creamy formula ensures long-lasting wear, preventing your lip color from bleeding or feathering.  Create Your Sculpted Lip Look  After contouring the lip, you can add extra depth and dimension with few clever makeup tricks. It’s all about creating the subtle illusion of fuller, more defined lips. Here are some of our favorite tips for that sculpted look:     1. Define with Lip Velvet:   Lip Velvet is essential for creating a sculpted lip look. This creamy, long-wearing formula glides on effortlessly and dries to a comfortable matte finish. Its highly pigmented color allows you to define and shape your lips with precision, and sets seamlessly with your contoured lip liner.    2. Accentuating the Cupid's Bow with Highlighter:   To make your sculpted look really pop, apply a touch of highlighter using Glow Seeker Highlighter shade Sun Idol to the cupid's bow. The light-reflecting finish will draw attention to this area, creating the illusion of a more defined and sculpted lip shape.    3. Play with Pigment and Shading:   Another way to create the illusion of sculpted lips is by using additional lip color and shading. For example, apply a slightly darker shade of Matte & Satin Lipstick to the outer corners of your lips and blend it towards the center. This will create a shadow effect, making your lips appear more plump and sculpted.    Don’t Forget To Prep & Set Lip Primer   To avoid smudging and feathering, it's important to apply your lip products with care. Start by exfoliating your lips to create a smooth canvas. Then, apply a thin layer of Lip Primer to moisturize and prep your lips.   To further enhance the longevity of your lip color, blot your lips with a tissue and reapply a second coat. This will help set the lipstick and prevent it from transferring or fading throughout the day. You can also fill in your pout with lip liner after applying Lip Primer to create a more pigmented base to work with.
