HELP!! My makeup's too HOT for my work place!!

I used to work with an organization that wasn't so particular about formal dressing, however the game was to look smart. Smart dressing, smart makeup, nothing over the top yet beautiful.

Most young women however still are unable to get it right. Looking competent and professional is incredibly important. Although that might mean putting down the glittery eyeliner, it doesn’t have to mean bare-faced beauty. Studies have shown that women who wear make-up to work are more likely to get promoted and I think I can attest to that ;).

 The trick is finding a look that enhances your natural beauty.

Here are a couple of ground rules for a workplace safe look:

1. It has to stand the test of time; you don’t want to have to keep retouching your look when you have to dash from meeting to meeting.
2. It has to be low-maintenance and easy enough for you to be able to complete in a rush. Some people might be prepared to spend 30 minutes doing their face in the mornings, but I’d rather spend an extra 20 minutes stretching my limbs and 10 minutes doing my face.
3. It should enhance, and not hide who you are.
4. It shouldn’t be distracting; remember, you want people to be listening to what you’re saying without being mesmerized by your hot pink lipstick.
5. It should make you feel both comfortable and amazing..

Eyes

-Get a good eye primer as this will help your shadows stay on longer. Your concealer would help a great deal also.

- Next get your hands on subtle colors and stay away from the glitters. Leave those for the weekends.

- liquid liner for the top eyelid and a dark colored liner at the bottom eyelid will be fantastic.

- Don't forget your mascara. Go for the lengthening or volumizing depending on how scanty, full or long your lashes are. Remember not to over clog them.

Eyebrows

Next, eyebrows are another of the best ways to show off what a professional chica you really are because they frame your face. Keeping them neat and tidy is well worthwhile. Don’t overpluck either, girls. Strong brows are a gorgeous look. I’ll either fill mine in with an eyebrow powder/filler and use a brow pencil to set. Now you can get moves like Jaga @our brow clinic.

Lips

With lip color, you have a little bit more freedom to express yourself than you do at work with eye colors, as long as they aren’t too distracting. So whatever you do ladies, aim at looking smart and beautiful cause you know "U is BEAUTIFUL"
