Wow the whole school population and steal that prom queen crown with makeup tips from makeup artist, beauty blogger, and YouTube guru Ana Victorino. Watch her share different inspirations to help you achieve that #PromPerfect look that starts with #PromPerfect skin. At least a month before prom, Ana recommends to start a skin care regimen using Pond’s Acne Clear White 10-in-1 Facial Wash to cleanse, Pond’s White Beauty Toner to remove deep seated dirt, and Pond’s White Beauty Cream to moisturize. After all, great makeup begins great skin! Finally, don’t forget to remove your makeup before sleeping. Ana likes using the classic Pond’s Cold Cream because it can clean even the hardest cream and oil based makeup.
