Sites if you prefer those:
Since you're not used to doing your makeup, I suggest doing exactly what you want to do before the day of prom. That way, you can determine if the eyeshadow colors you have make you look like a clown [or worse, if you're allergic to a product]. Enlist the help of a friend if you can. Maybe even get ready for prom together at someone's house.
You'll want your own makeup. Sharing makeup isn't a very good idea because it can easily spread infections. I'll recommend brands but there's LOTS to try, you don't have to go by my recommendations.
Foundation:
Anything Neutrogena will be very easy on your skin. Liquid foundation blends easier than others and is less likely to look fake as it wears off. Clinique is also a good brand, but you'll pay a lot more for it and you have to buy it at a makeup counter.
Powder:
Especially important for a dance/pictures. This will "set" your makeup and control shine. Loose powder is easier to apply in my opinion and controls shine better too. Covergirl is a good brand. TruBlend With Minerals really makes your face glow without looking weird. My boyfriend notices the sparkles sometimes =)
Mascara/eyeliner:
Practice makes perfect, but it's not that hard to do. Go slowly & if you want to use more than one coat, do so before it dries. Maybelline Great Lash never fails & I've never had a problem with it [and I have sensitive eyes so i think it's a good choice for anyone] As for eyeliner, don' go overboard. Ask a friend's opinion what looks best on you/with your dress. Any pencil eyeliner will work fine, but try to find a waterproof one. Black is a universal color.
Eyeshadow:
Stick to neutral colors. They're a) easier to apply and blend, b) don't look strange as they wear off, and c) won't look scary on film. Almay makes trios for every eye color & the colors match really well. Maybelline eyeshadow is also really nice & has application guidelines on the back.
Lips:
A pretty pink gloss, or even a sheer color, will probably do. Unlike lipstick you don't have to practice to put it on right, and as it wears off it's not yucky looking, and who has time for a lot of touch-ups at prom? If you really hate gloss, stick to a basic Chapstick or Burt's Bees lip tint or whatever else you like.
That's really wordy but I hope you find it useful anyways haha. My inbox is open if you still need help, and have fun at prom!
