Makeup tips for the office


Getting ready for work often involves striking the fine balance between looking professional while maintaining a fashionable, feminine look. Makeup can be tricky, especially for those who are making a transition - whether it be from college to a career, or from a more casual office to one that requires business attire.


The following guidelines will help you put your best face forward while earning the respect of your colleagues.


If you need foundation or concealer, apply the liquid or cream with a sponge, dabbing lightly for an even tone. If you tend to be on the oily side, either skip the first step and just use some loose powder that matches your skin tone, or dust a light layer over your foundation.


When applying eyeliner, remember to keep it subtle and do not extend lines past your eyelashes. Consider trying a dark brown shade instead of black for a more natural look.


Mascara should be clump-free and not too heavy. The goal is to accentuate the eyelashes, and not to appear as if you're wearing false ones.


Tinted or neutral lip gloss gives the face a fresh, young look with the simple swipe of a wand. Also, gloss wears more evenly than lipstick and can be easier to reapply.
