Prom night is your time to shine, and the right makeup can elevate your look from beautiful to unforgettable. Whether you're aiming for timeless elegance or bold, trendsetting vibes, Revlon has the products to help you achieve your dream prom look.

 In this guide, we'll explore the top prom makeup trends for 2025 and how to recreate them using Revlon's high-quality, affordable products.

Prepping Your Skin for Prom Makeup

Begin by hydrating and illuminating your complexion with Revlon PhotoReady Rose Glow™ Hydrating + Illuminating Primer. 

This primer not only moisturizes but also imparts a radiant glow, ensuring your makeup lasts through the night. 

Allow the primer to set for a few minutes before applying foundation.

Creating a Sweat-Proof Base That Lasts All Night

For a long-lasting, photo-ready base, apply Revlon ColorStay™ Full Cover™ Foundation. Its buildable, transfer-resistant formula provides full coverage without feeling heavy. 

Brighten your under-eye area and conceal any imperfections with Revlon Glimmer Brightening Concealer. 

Set your makeup with Revlon ColorStay™ Pressed Powder to maintain a matte finish and reduce shine.

Trending Prom Eye Makeup Looks

Shimmery & Smoky Eyes

Achieve a classic smoky eye with a touch of shimmer using the Revlon PhotoReady™ Eye Contour Kit.

Apply darker shades to the outer corners and blend lighter, shimmery shades toward the inner corners for added dimension. 

Enhance the look with Revlon ColorStay™ Line Creator™ Double Ended Liner and finish with Revlon ColorStay™ Full Time™ Mascara for voluminous lashes.

Pastel & Soft Glam Eyes

For a romantic, soft glam look, use pastel shades like pinks, lilacs, or golds from the Revlon ColorStay™ Day to Night™ Eyeshadow Quad in "Pretty 565". 

Blend softly across the lids and add a subtle wing using Revlon ColorStay™ Micro™ Easy Precision Liquid Liner.

Graphic & Trendy Eyes

Make a bold statement with graphic eyeliner or jewel embellishments. 

Use the Revlon ColorStay™ Line Creator™ Double Ended Liner for precise application and creative designs that stand out.

Glowing Cheeks & Highlight

Add a radiant flush to your cheeks with Revlon Glimmer Blush Drops or the Revlon PhotoReady™ Insta-Blush™ Stick. 

For a luminous glow, apply Revlon SkinLights™ Prismatic Highlighter to the high points of your face, such as cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and cupid's bow.
