The last couple of years may have been a wash-out for proms due to the pandemic disrupting our normal lives, but this should give you some inspiration for a good look for 2022. Cruelty-free and vegan makeup brand Lottie London teamed up with Oscar-nominated hairstylist and makeup artist Marc Pilcher to recreate classic looks dating back to the origins of proms back in the 1920s. A survey of 2,000 US Gen Z adults revealed that of all the styles over the last century, the current look — characterized by feathery brows, faux freckles and dewy skin — was by far the favorite (59%). This was followed by the supermodel glam of the 90s (26%) and the rock and roll chic of the 50s (22%). Commissioned by Lottie London and conducted by OnePoll, these findings come in as the 2020s mark a hundred years since proms became popular in America. The social event expanded into an annual festivity where students dress up and wear makeup in the 1920s and has become bigger every decade since.
