MAKEUP TIPS FOR WOMEN @Natasha

Following these simple ground rules will ensure that you are always putting your best face forward:

Keep It Simple

In a professional office environment, less is more. It's okay to be a little trendy and reflect who you are, but don't overdo it by cramming five trends onto one face. Stick with one or two neutral eye colors, a lipstick that resembles your natural lip color with a little more kick, a coat of mascara and a sweep of blush across the cheeks. Use foundation and concealer as needed.

Work the Entire Face

Many women feel comfortable making up just their eyes or just their lips, leaving the other areas neglected. Wear something soft on each feature – eyes, lips, and cheeks – for a complete, well-rounded appearance.

Seen and Not Heard

Office makeup doesn't have to be boring, but it should never be brash. Avoid loud colors which look even more harsh under office fluorescents. Opt for neutrals, like browns and grays, or soft plums instead. The office is not the place to try out bold new looks or runway trends.

Blend, and Then Blend Some More

Avoid harsh lines by blending. Soften eyeliner with an angle brush or cotton swab, and blend blush to avoid “stripes” on each cheek. Lip liner should be neutral and define the lips, but the line should be smudged so as not to appear thick and noticeable. Make sure you choose a foundation makeup that is right for you, and blend thoroughly along the jawline and hairline.

Leave the Shimmer At Home

Shimmer and sparkle are great for evening looks, but under the office fluorescents, they can easily look cheap and unrefined. Keep use to a bare minimum here, and save the sparkle for evenings out.

Lastly, if you question whether or not your makeup is too much for the office, it probably is. Tone down excessive blush with a pressed or loose powder, and blot dark lips with a tissue and add a light gloss. As always, the goal with an everyday makeup application is to polish your appearance and complete your overall look. Let your performance make the impression, not your makeup.

                                                                    

Make-up in a Jiffy

- Apply compact powder on your face and blend it carefully. It will take only few seconds. Surely, you won’t be having eye-shadow in your handbag, but kohl pencil is there. Make a neat line over the upper eyelid and smudge it a little to soften it and give it a smoky eye effect. Then apply mascara, which will open up your eyes. 

- After this comes the turn of blusher. You should apply light shade of blush on your cheeks, forehead and chin. If you do not have it with you, take out your lipstick and put a dot on apple of your cheeks and merge it completely with your skin tone but carefully in the direction of your hairline along the cheekbone. 

- For lipstick, lip liner is a good tool to keep lipstick in place but if you do not have it, apply lipstick once and then press tissue between your lips and the reapply it. It will last longer this way and you won’t leave any mark on the glass too.
