Taking a great selfie is an art. It requires practice (and sometimes a whole lot of your camera memory) to nail the one. Before prom rolls around, stock the right lineup of products that won’t put your baking skills on blast when the flash goes off. These 10 will get you as close to filter-free as anyone should ever be.
Acne-Fighting Cleanser
Set your skin up for selfie success by starting with a clean slate way before prom night. This dermatologist-recommended face wash will help keep zits from cropping up on the big day.
AcneFree Oil-Free Acne Cleanser, $6
Reliable Concealer
Cover any problem areas (hi, under-eye circles!) with a not-too-heavy concealer that won’t get cakey.
Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Concealer, $32
Better Blender
Photos can be unforgiving of unblended edges. Use this egg-sized buffer to smooth out your base, so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing a mask of foundation.
Beauty Blender, $20
Charcoal Toothpaste
Grimy teeth are an instant selfie kill. Get rid of the gunk with a brushing using this charcoal-infused set, which helps to whiten while it cleans.
Curaprox Black Is White Toothpaste Set, $30
Pimple Destroyer
Sneaky breakouts are inevitable—especially when you're under stress. Clear them up quick with this potent spot treatment. It also has chamomile, ginger, and sea whip to keep your skin from drying out.

Camera-Ready Powder
Don’t forget to set your makeup with a truly translucent powder that won’t look all wonky if you snap with the flash on.

False Lashes
A dangling eyelash or globby glue is not what you want to be remembered for on prom night. Swap in these magnetic strips that will stay firmly in place. If they’re looking crazy long, trim them carefully (before applying them to your lash line!) with a nail scissors.
Ardell Magnetic Double Demi Wispies, $13
Frizz-Fighting Sheets
When flyaways start messing with your style, rub one of these hemp paper sheets—infused with coconut oil and shea butter—to smooth things over.
Ouai Anti-Frizz Sheets, $18
Blotting Papers
Before you snap your pic, dab away excess shine with this pretty purse staple.
