Work: makeup
Nailing makeup for work is something we all desire — we all want to stand out and look put-together! You may be surprised how makeup affects your career, that’s the power of makeup. In a recent study, women who wear makeup make more money than those who don’t! 💄 So yes, wear some makeup for sure. You just don’t want to wear too much, anything too loud or bright, or be messy in your cosmetic application. With a little practice, work makeup is some of the simplest to learn since work makeup should be on the classic, subdued side! Use the following examples to create your own go-to makeup style for the office. These are flawless, office-appropriate, and will contribute to you making a great first impression while on the job!
Soft
A soft makeup look for the workplace means basic makeup that’s a little more than a no-makeup makeup look! Soft pink or orange on your lips, eyes and cheeks, plus a bit of eye definition is really all you need. It looks put-together and polished.
Lipstick
Experiment with a red or orange lip for work. Just keep your eye shadow and cheeks subtle so that your look doesn’t appear overly made-up or over-the-top! The more creative your workplace, the more you can get away with a really bright or deep color on your lips.
Eyeliner
Lining your eyes all around or doing a fun winged liner can be great for the office. Just keep the rest of your face very subtle. You’ll look very refined and crisp!
Eye shadow
A not-too-much eye shadow application can be your focus for a work makeup look. Smoke it out in oranges, browns, or grays.
No-makeup makeup
A no-makeup makeup look is a valuable one to master. It looks like you’re not wearing makeup but you are! Put on concealer, foundation, powder, light blush and light eye shadow. Add a sweep of mascara and a very subtle lip color. Depending on the look you like, you can put the focus on bold brows. And adding highlighter to your face can keep you glowing all day.
