Dressing for work is difficult; you must plan clothes based on meetings and special occasions. Not only that, but you also need to think out the appropriate haircut and workplace makeup to go with it. While leaving your hair down and putting it up in a ponytail or bun is straightforward and effective for most working women, the same cannot be said for makeup. You must exercise extreme caution here, as too little or too much might completely detract from your overall appearance.
Most working women are unsure of which items to use and which to avoid when getting ready for work. Then there’s the question of what cosmetic colours are appropriate. We’re about to put all your doubts to rest by informing you exactly what should be in your office cosmetic necessities bag.
- No Makeup makeup
The most basic trends to choose from, especially for a professional setting, are the nude office makeup looks. It may appear to be simple to do, but mastering it requires a few techniques. A well-hydrated face is at the centre of this style. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on doing it at work:
Moisturiser: Moisturize your face before applying makeup. To hydrate and soothe your skin, do a 10-second massage with your cream.
Lightweight Foundation: When it comes to foundation, little is more. Make sure the hue is a perfect match for you, or the look will be ruined. Simply dab a few drops of Lakme 9 to 5 foundation and combine with a damp sponge.
Concealer: Then, using your fingers or a pointed sponge, softly apply a concealer under your eyes. If you have blemishes or hyperpigmentation, dab on just the places and wipe the excess from the brush into the rest of your face. Set the concealer under your eyes and in the cracks of your nose with powder to keep it in place throughout the day. Take a dry, clean fluffy brush and stroke it across your nose to either cheek to remove part of the base for a more natural look. This will reveal the flaws in a natural way.
Highlight: To give the high points of your face a natural-looking glow, mix a few drops of foundation with a few drops of highlighter. If you don’t want a glittery effect, use powder highlighter with a broad fluffy brush. It should be applied to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, the tip of your nose, and the top of your forehead.
Eyes: Use a kohl pencil to line the waterline of your upper eyelid. Apply a light-wear mascara after that. Just a thin application of mascara on the outer lashes will suffice for longer lashes.
Bronzer: Add some shadows to your face with a dab of bronzer from the hollows of your cheekbones down to your temples. It can also be worn along the jawline to slim down and narrow your face. Don’t go crazy with the contouring because natural workplace makeup ideas are all about minimalism.
Eyebrows: After you’ve finished with your foundation, go over your brows with gentle feathery strokes in the direction of your hair. For a more natural look, choose a gel-based product that matches.
Finish with a basic lip balm or a nude lip.
Apply a coat of gloss to your lips and smack them together for a plumper look on some days.
- Warm eyeshadow + peach/brown lipstick
To lift your office face, spice things up with this neutral warm make-up look. It’s never been easier to look sun-kissed. Warm eyeshadow tones like rust, brick and peachy cream are ideal for the fall season, but they may be worn year-round. This is also a Kylie Jenner-inspired cosmetics look, but it’s done in a fraction of the time.
Eyeshadow: Start with your eyeshadow so that any fallout may be cleaned up before moving on to your base. This stage will take the most time to complete in order to achieve this appearance. After that, apply a primer to the eyelids to keep them looking put together throughout the day. All over the crease, apply a warm peach tone. Apply a burnt orange shadow to the outer corner and blend it into the crease. With a chocolate brown shadow, darken and add depth to the outer edge or top lash-line. Extend this colour towards the lower lash line a smidgeon. Use a little touch when making this; it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Foundation: For a less-than-flawless base, use a low coverage foundation or a tinted moisturiser.
Concealer: Only conceal the undereye area and set with banana powder.
Contour: To achieve a spray-tanned/sun-kissed effect, contour the hollows of your cheekbones and the perimeters of your face.
Eyebrows: Begin by wiping your brows clean with a q-tip or a clean brow brush. Next, use a matching pencil to fill in any gaps in your brows. We want rich, lush brows that stay true to your natural contour.
Blush: With a flush of peachy coral blush, you can break up the sepia tone. Use a peachy pink blush with peachy cream eyeshadow and matching lips for a more summery look. These cosy office makeup styles are perfect for a day at the office.
Lipstick: Make a more defined lip line by lining your lips. To match your complexion, use a brown lip. Alternatively, try a sepia naked look.
Fixing Spray: If you don’t want your hard work to go to waste, spritz your makeup with a fixing spray to keep it from melting during the day.
- Glass-skin inspired dewy face & blush look
The trend in the beauty industry has shifted from wearing a full face of makeup to appreciating good skin and bright, radiant makeup. Glass skin cosmetics in the Korean style appear to be too time-consuming for the office. That isn’t to say you can’t go for a dewy, hydrated look with plenty of healthy blush.
Moisturizer: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Massage moisturisers such as Lakme face cream into your skin for a good minute or two.
Primer: This procedure should be done after you’ve applied your moisturiser and before you put on your makeup. For a flawless base, use a moisturising, illuminating, or blurring primer.
Foundation: To balance out your skin tone, all we need is a sheer splash of colour. For an iridescent complexion, follow your primer with a moisturising liquid foundation combined with strobe cream.
Concealer: With these basic workplace makeup looks, this is absolutely optional. If you have a lot of under-eye bags or discolouration, go ahead and do it. Otherwise, skip this step.
Compact: To set the product, dab some compact under your eyes and wherever else you’ve hidden it.
Blush: For an unreal young glow, choose a pink-toned crème blush. For soft, plump-looking skin, blend this into the apples of your cheeks.
Highlighter: With a lit-from-within radiance, highlighter will take centre stage in this look. For the most natural effect, gently incorporate a cream or stick highlighter into the foundation. Finally, apply this to the appropriate areas of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow, for a flawless and gentle glow. Here’s how to showcase your features based on your facial shape:
Oval Face Shape, Square Face Shape, Heart Shape Face: The centre of your forehead, the bridge of your nose, and your chin are all good places to start.
Rectangular Face Shape: Center of your forehead, bridge of your nose and chin.
Diamond Face Shape, Round Face Shape: Your chin and the centre of your forehead
Mascara: For fluttery lashes, apply a single or two coats of mascara to complete the effect
