For most girls, prom is the most highly anticipated event of the year! Let's kick off this season right with all of my favorite hair & makeup trends for 2018! I will be including fabulous deals for $100 or less!

1. Sequins!

Sequin Gown $89.90 -

Sequins have to be my favorite trend this prom season, or any occasion that you can pull off a stunning gown like this one! Look for a sequin dress in a fun color, such as emerald green and you will be sure to stand out!

This Velvet Clutch Is Available @ Nordstrom for $40.00

Both Shoes Are Available @ Nordstrom for $88.95

Hair & Makeup Inspiration -

When it comes to wearing a gown with sequins, the rest of the look should remain simple and balanced. An easy style for the makeup & hair is to go for a matching matte eyeshadow and a messy bun.
