Office Makeup Tips Step by Step:

While doing makeup for office, always keep in mind to select the right make-up colour which blends beautifully with your skin tone thus enhancing your natural features. Also make sure that you try and cover up any blemishes and flaws on your skin.

Let’s begin: First with Eyes:

• Start with your eyes by primarily applying a base. A good base will help you keep your makeup in place and will last long.
• Make sure that you cover all the dark circles around your eyes (if you have any) using a concealer which matches your skin tone.
• Next choose eyeshadow colours that will make your eyes appear bright and not sleepy. You could possibly prefer matte shades in light pink, beige or brown.
• Then put on a black eyeliner (preferably waterproof), so that it does not smudge and make you go spend time in the washroom correcting it, rather than working on your desk.
•  Next define your eyelashes with one or two coats of mascara (waterproof) as needed.

Cheeks:

When you enhance your lovely cheeks with the blusher, try to match the colour with your eyeshadow and also your skin colour. Avoid using anything too shimmery. These are some of the shades which you may use.

1. Very light reddish pink.
2. A very light orangish skin color or more like a peachy shade.
3. Very light pink color.

Lips:

With lip colour, a little freedom is allowed to express yourself than with eye colours, as long as they aren’t too bright and out of the place.

However, it would be better if you use a neutral matte lip colour for office. Make sure that you first line your lips with the lip liner, which is close to your lip colour, and then fill in with a lighter colour lipstick. You may use these lipstick shades at your workplace.

A formal dress and simple and light jewellery and you are ready to begin your day at office.

Golden rules to remember about office makeup:

• The very first thing you need to remember when wearing makeup is that you very rightly need to choose the colors and shades. You have to distinguish yourself with makeup from office and other places you go out with friends and family.
• Make sure it is long lasting, because at work place you wouldn’t really have time to give touch ups.
• Make sure it is also water proof and has low maintenance. It would be ideal to touchup’s (just incase for meetings outside the office) in 5 to 10 minutes, rather than 30 to 35 minutes.
• Try purchasing makeup from brands that are of high quality and do not cause any allergic reactions.
• Also keep in mind to cover your dark circles correctly with a concealer, thus brightening your eye area, rather than making your look drowsy.
• Make sure to not look cakey. Just keep simple makeup for office and it really enhances your beauty.
• Keep your self and your skin hydrated. Hydrated skin will avoid the makeup cracks and over smudging.
• Avoid moving in and around extreme temperatures that could harm the skin.
• Drinking regular water will also help you balance and maintain your skin health.

Make work look good!
