Creating a stylish and original prom look is not easy, and buying a dress is only half the success. The remaining 50% is made up of elegant hairstyle, trendy makeup and neat manicure. Read about which colors and shapes are on trend in 2025 in the Izvestia article.

Prom hairstyle in 2025: the main trends of the season

The main fashion trend of 2025 is elegant carelessness. Beach curls, light bunches, loose braids and bedhead styling (hairstyle "just out of bed" with disheveled curls or strands) are regaining popularity. Another equally relevant trend is the elements of the 90s: crab hairpins, large colored elastic bands, corrugated styling, etc.

At the same time, it is important to remember that the prom hairstyle should first of all be liked by the girl herself, combined with her type of face and image. It is not necessary to follow trends clearly to get the desired effect.

One of the simplest and most effective hairstyles for long and medium hair for any event is curls. Large curls or small curls, a clear Hollywood wave or beach curls, a full—length or only at the ends - any of these variations can be advantageous. If you have time, you should experiment with the shape of the curls to find the perfect option for your look.

"Malvinka" is another universal hairstyle for owners of long and medium hair. To make one, you need to gather a few front strands on the back of your head, and leave the rest loose. The "Malvinka" also has many variations that are easy to adapt to any image. The free part of the hair can be curled, straightened or twisted only at the tips, and the strands at the back of the head can be braided into a ponytail or braid, fastened with a large trendy hairpin, a bright bow, an oriental hairpin, a fibula (round hairpin with a hairpin) or invisible.

Holidays for school leavers are scheduled for May 24.

Elegant bunches with an unusual texture and loose strands on the face are also suitable for long and medium hair. This hairstyle will be a good addition to many evening dresses and will help create a feminine, but at the same time relaxed look.

In addition, girls with long hair should pay attention to braided hairstyles — in 2025, braids and their variations are back in fashion. Straight long hair can also be left loose and gathered around the face with a tiara, a narrow or wide rim, or an "elven" hoop.

A short haircut is not an obstacle to a spectacular and stylish hairstyle. In the spring and summer of 2025, wet hair styling is back on trend. To create it, tools with strong fixation are used, which also allows you to experiment with the shape: hair can be combed back, laid in clear waves, separated by several parts, etc. Some people specifically release several strands at the temples and on the forehead to make a fancy curl out of them. With such a hairstyle, invisibles with rhinestones and pearls, minimalistic hairpins of various shapes and colors will look good.

If the length allows, you can style your hair in a Hollywood wave or simply add volume to it using brushing, curlers or ironing. Retro styling cold wave will help to add mystery and originality to the evening look. To make it, you need to curl and fix only part of the front strands with varnish and hide the parting.

Makeup for prom 2025: ideas

Make—up is an equally important component of the prom look. The trends of spring-summer 2025 give freedom for self-expression: colored arrows and eyelashes, "jelly" lips, rhinestones and other unusual design elements are in fashion. At the same time, the natural make-up with a minimum of decor and a delicate color palette that emphasizes natural beauty has not lost its relevance. In general, everyone will be able to find something for themselves.

Among the most popular shades of the season are blue, light blue, yellow, gray and pink. Another significant trend is neon makeup. Bright elements can be added using eyeliner, colored mascara, colored false eyelashes or lipstick. For those who don't like neon, there is a great alternative — glitter. It can be used as an accent in eye and lip makeup or applied to cheekbones.

Shiny cosmetics will look good with a natural make-up. For example, you can accentuate your eyes with golden shadows, use translucent lip gloss, or add radiance to your face with a highlighter.

Special attention is paid to eye makeup in the spring and summer of 2025. Double arrows with colored accents, fluffy eyelashes, a colored lower eyelid or a colored corner of the eyes, and bright mascara are in fashion. But the eyebrows, on the contrary, should be left as natural as possible, but neat. Natural shades and soft shapes without clear geometry are welcome.

When choosing makeup, it is important to consider the overall color scheme of the outfit, as well as the color of the graduate's eyes. Brown-eyed girls can choose from a wide range of shades from red, brown and gold to blue, emerald and purple. Shades of pink, gold, beige, as well as green, purple and red colors will look great with blue eyes. Green-eyed makeup artists recommend giving preference to shades of gray, brown, gold, purple and red. You can also pay attention to the green shadows, but they should not blend in with the eyes.

Manicure ideas for graduation in 2025

Manicure is the finishing touch to any look, so before graduation it is important to take care of the condition of the nails. Minimalism with bright accents is in fashion in 2025. This manicure can be combined with almost any image, while it leaves fashionistas a space for self-expression and bold decisions.

The most popular form of nails is almond and its variations. It visually lengthens the fingers and fits perfectly with most designs. Sharp nails, ballerina and square are also popular.

Abstract color drawings are in fashion in spring and summer 2025. These can be geometric shapes, marble and watercolor stains, bright brushstrokes. Another trend of the season is metallic shades: silver, gold, bronze, etc. They are used both for full coverage and for creating bright accents. Various gradients remain popular: colored, pastel, ombre, cat's eye, etc.

Manicure with textures is also popular in 2025: a combination of matte and glossy coatings, velvet effect, sugar, volumetric stickers, etc. The main thing is not to overdo it with additional elements, otherwise the design will look cumbersome. Sparkles are also well suited for the holiday. Shining elements can be used as an accent on one or two nails or make them part of the main design.
