Getting dressed for work is not an easy task. After those long meetings, night shifts, and meeting goals and deadlines, you still have to look fit and fabulous. This is when makeup comes to your rescue. Makeup is your best friend at work. It hides those dark circles, stress marks, unkempt hair and dull skin in a shiny way. However, excess makeup at work can be a buzz kill. Here is our list of office makeup tips to enhance your face and make you look fresh and fabulous at work.
Cleanse your face
First things first! Wash your face with a soap suitable for your skin type every morning. Splash a considerable amount of warm water on your face while you clean yourself to remove excess oil and dead skin. Dry it with a soft towel.
Moisturize your skin
Use a moisturizer labeled for your skin type. Moisturizing in the morning keeps skin hydrated all day long and retains its elasticity longer. You can use a gel, cream or lotion to moisturize.
Apply concealer, if necessary.
If you don’t have flawless skin, then concealer is a must in your office makeup kit. Apply concealer, preferably creamy, over dark circles, acne marks or blemishes and conceal imperfections intelligently. Apply concealer with your fingers effortlessly for a perfect finish and a natural look.
Fix with a cream
If you have a cream in your office makeup kit, then you don’t need sunscreen and foundation. The creams are infused with SPF, which protects the skin from sunburn. It covers up spots and gives your skin an even tone. Apply the cream for radiant skin before going to work.
Enhance your eyes
No makeup is complete without eye makeup and it is an inseparable part of office makeup tips. Using eye shadow to work is optional, but if you do, then go for soft shades, preferably brown or bronze. Define your eyes with kajal or eyeliner. Highlight the lower eyelid with kajal. The upper eyelid can be highlighted with kajal, gel pencil or eyeliner. Finish off the eye makeup with a dash of mascara.
Give a mischievous look to your cheeks
Cheekbones should not be ignored while preparing for office. A dash of bronze blush brings out your best facial features and makes you look bright and professional. Opt for a neutral color blush to keep it natural. You can also use a bare or light lipstick color as an alternative to blush.
Add colour to your lips
Nude matte lipstick is preferably the best choice for corporate makeup. Matte lipsticks last longer than gloss lipsticks and add a professional touch to makeup. Choose a matte lipstick shade suitable for the office and let your lips do the talking. Try to avoid glossy lip colors. Bring a lip blemish to work.
Choose the right colours, opt for waterproof makeup, don’t look pastel, opt for a proper hairstyle and buy top brand beauty products to avoid allergies or reactions. Stay hydrated all day long to maintain skin health and look fresh. Wear an elegant and simple dress and combine it with a minimum of accessories.
