Prom 2008: Vibrant Red Dresses & Makeup
I adore red dresses, especially these deep, elegant ruby red dresses. They’re completely royal and classic, rather than in-your-face kind of red. My favorite choice would be something in line with the second look pictured, because golds complement reds so well, and yet there’s a touch of Cranberry eyeshadow to tie everything together. I feel like it’s an excellent choice for both depth, color, and overall style. But of course, with a dress in such a bold shade, going completely neutral on the eye is never a bad choice! I also like a soft smoky eye, something with a little bit of gold and a brown-gray, not so much straight black. Pink lips, nude lips, coral lips… anything goes. Even red lips could work with the appropriate eye (and the right shade of red). For a dress like this, I would concentrate on perfecting the skin and using a subtle blush to bring out my natural flush.
Check out suggested looks: one, two, & three. Dress is available at Nordstrom.com
for $98.

Hey Zainy! I feel like that look is soo bold and probably not easy for most women to carry, but it’s great that you can 🙂
gosh i looooove red dresses too, in that shade. i’d definitely go with a cat eye. simple shadow, just to highlight and deepen whatever needs highlighting and deepening. definitely perfect skin, i think red more than anything calls for perfect skin. i would attempt a nice red lip, only if i can find the perfect shade that doesn’t clash with the dress.
dyou think red lips and a red dress would work better on darker skin? as opposed to maybe nude lips and a red dress on fairer skin?
i keep picturing nicole kidman. she pulls red dresses off rather well.
I love deep reds like this, too 🙂
I think you can do red dresses regardless of skin tone, as well as the lip. It’s about finding the right shades!
