Formal season is nigh, and if you’re in Year 12 then you’re relatively well versed in the whole formal deal. You probably know by now that you have to manage your expectations, because formal’s are never quite as good as you build them up to be. But in case you’re new to the scene, here’s the kind of night you can expect to have.

1. Getting your hair and makeup done is all

2. But then trying not to ruin it for the rest of the afternoon like
