If I was in high school...

I would avoid looking like this:
I hate that overly shiny, faux satin fabric! It looks cheap and accentuates all your body's imperfections.

Sure these girls look pretty but it's too predictable. I've seen this dress a million times. 

Prom is probably the only moment that teenagers get to really look their best. The event is glamorous and only happens once in a life time.  For me it's more of a red carpet moment than a chance to look like a pageant queen, even though a queen is crowned. I'm thinking more Academy Awards than Toddlers and Tiaras. 

It's possible to look like a million dollars for only a few hundred or less. It's also important to get a dress that's right for your body type.

I think this lipstick is spot on because its two different colors that complement each other and make fiery combination just like Katniss' two tone dress.
