How would I go about re-creating the look of the skin?
What foundations would be good for the highlighting and contouring?
Something that would last all day for prom!
What blush as well?
Thanks to anyone who helps! Xox

To recreate the highlighted appearance under the eye, you'll need a good full-coverage concealer in a color several shades lighter than your own skin tone (probably off white would be best, judging by your profile pic). Apply it with your ring finger (it has the lightest touch which is essential for blending). Dab, don't wipe, starting at the inside corner of your eye, moving all the way to your hairline. You want the highlight thickest at the inner corner of your eye (if up have deep set eyes, really get it into that dark corner) and it should get lighter and lighter as you move toward the hairline. Make sure to keep the highlight above your cheekbone, or your face will end up looking kinda of flat and un-contoured.

To be perfectly honest, you may want to contact a professional makeup artist in your area to help you get this look just right for the big night. You don't want to pressure yourself and then possibly end up disappointed if you're unable to get it right on the big night. Contouring takes a little bit of practice, so I'd definitely recommend using a pro for the big night.

Whatever you decide, I know you'll look beautiful bc you're such a beautiful girl already!!

Oh yeah, and if you want your look to last all day, be sure to use a foundation AND eyeshadow primer. I personally haven't found a face primer that I love yet (oily skin) but urban decay has a great eyeshadow primer. Also Kat Von D recently came out with a foundation that is full coverage and will last all night. Your local sephora will help match you and even give you a free sample of it if you ask.
As far as blush, the girl in the photo appears to be wearing kind of a rusty color, but your skin, eye and hair color are totally different from hers. Depending on the color of your dress I'd say a coral blush would look great on you. However if your dress would clash with coral, go for a mauve-y pink color. Oh and lastly, Bare Essentuals makes a product called Clear Radiance that will give you a little glow to go along with the highlighting. Use it after you're totally done with you makeup. Use a small blush brush to dab just a little bit on the top left and right corner of your forehead, apples of your cheeks, the tip of your nose and the tip of your chin. A little goes a long way with that stuff. Anyway, sorry for giving you such a long reply. I hope you got the info you need.

The eyebrows are wayyyy to heavy try going for lighter shade to soften them up..As for contour try a mac in the shade blunt and for highlight I use mac strobe cream then top it with mac mineralize skinfinish in soft and gentle this will look gorgeous on her..To keep makeup in place try elf mineral infused primer..and with some pretty eyelashes you can neva go wrong.
