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.

There is also the blue dress myth. Blue is a color that symbolizes honesty, truth, wisdom, and inspiration; it has a calming effect and it is considered to be one of the most profound colors. Over the time it has been extremely appreciated by royalty and it has always been associated with a princess’ elegance and beauty.

There is a strong belief that blue has the power of beautifying and transforming a common thing into a special and never-seen-before one. While a black dress may seem too serious and sober, a red one – a dress for those who want to be in the center of attention, a dress that inspires sexuality, a pink one – too girlish or a white one – too bride-like, the blue dress will never fail in being the right one for the prom day. There are, of course, different shades of blue; combine them with countless prom dress models, and there you have an infinite range of blue prom dresses to choose from.

In order to choose the right blue dress you have to take the first step by yourself. Prepare months before the prom. Begin looking through fashion magazines and even go looking for the latest models in special shops. It is good for you to know which the latest trends are when it comes to buy the right dress.

When choosing an eye shadow 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 eye shadow 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.

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.
