Not one if you choose from the past trend prom dress 2010. Because it could still qualify as the best prom dress.

1940's Make-Up {Achieving a Vintage Look Part 2}
The next post in the Achieving a Vintage Look series is on 1940's make-up. Also, on my Formspring I was asked, "what make-up did they wear in the 1940s." Now I for one don't wear make-up, so I did some research to get the answer. =)
Key features of 1940s make up were:
- Foundation: matched to your natural colour.
- Cheeks: Rosy pink
- Brows: Well plucked but full, arched eyebrows - moving away from thin eyebrows of the 30s. Brush with matt eyebrow power, set well with either eyebrow wax or vaseline.
- Eyes: no eyeshadow or neutral cream base. Lots of mascara on top lashes only.
- Lips: Focus was on full lips, the top lip rounded. All colours reds, fuchsia - anything to impress. The 40s were the golden age of lipstick!

Resources & Info for Dressing Vintage {Achieving a Vintage Look Part 1}
On Formspring I was asked the following question, "How can I easily achieve a Vintage look??" I decided to take this question and make a whole series dedicated to the subject {it will be a short series}. =)
Stores -
The easiest way to buy vintage inspired {or real vintage} clothing is from the following stores.
{I've own a dress from them that I won in a giveaway.}
Sewing -
Another great way to get vintage looking clothing is to buy vintage patterns and make your own clothes. This is what I do. =) I find my patterns from Antique Malls/Stores {this is the big one for me} and online vintage pattern stores.
