Any woman wants to be attractive and always look well-groomed. I especially want this at work, because the attitude towards you, and hence your success at work, largely depends on your appearance. However, business etiquette requires a serious approach to makeup - it is necessary to strike a balance between well-groomed and inappropriately large amounts of cosmetics. Consider how to make beautiful business makeup, step by step.
Features of business makeup
Makeup for work is designed to make a woman more attractive, hide the minor flaws of her face, but in no case make her vulgar or overly made up, and also turn her face into a doll mask. That is why the first rule excludes any bright shades of lipstick, shadows or blush, as well as cosmetics with sparkles, strong shimmer or mother-of-pearl, they are allowed by other, more informal types of makeup. Business makeup still requires giving preference to matte and satin shades of natural soft shades, as well ascalm tones of lipstick and blush.
It is worth mentioning that these rules are suitable for a daytime business make-up, but for an evening one (appropriate, for example, at a business dinner or corporate evening), brighter shades can be used. However, the general rule of restraint applies here as well.
Second - makeup should suit you and make you more beautiful. According to research, HR professionals are more likely to give preference to those candidates whose prestige and confidence work correctly with their business make-up, hairstyle and suit, than to those who come to the interview without makeup at all. Therefore, choose shades that suit your color type, and do makeup so that it decorates you. This means, do not neglect contouring, highlight the cheekbones correctly, choose the shape of the eyebrows that suits you, and so on. Let's talk about it in more detail.
Tone
Smooth natural and he althy complexion is already half the battle. A properly applied tone will hide bruises under the eyes, spider veins, acne and other skin rashes. Well eliminate point problems correctors and concealers. Therefore, start makeup with them. Use a concealer to draw triangles with an inverted top under the eyes (so the product blends without spots) and distribute it evenly with your fingers or a brush. You can start applying foundation.
When choosing a foundation, choose those that have a water base or moisturizing ingredients - the air in the office is always excessively dry, and the skin simply needs moisture. ExceptIn addition, thick oily creams will dry out on the skin, making all wrinkles even deeper and more noticeable. Also opt for shades with a pink undertone - in electric light (and in most offices it is on all day), the face will look fresh.
So, apply foundation to your nose, forehead, cheekbones and chin and blend with a brush or fingers all over your face. Do everything carefully so that there are no spots or streaks left. Pay attention to the chin and the border of the face and neck - distribute the tone so that this border has a smooth transition.
Set foundation with translucent powder. Apply a very small amount with a brush or powder puff. By the way, in the morning before leaving the house, it is better to use loose powder and apply it with a brush, and put a compact one in your purse to correct makeup already at the office.
Eyes
In evening or everyday makeup, the rule of one accent applies - either bright eyes or lips. The makeup of a business woman does not have such accents. In it, both eyes and lips are made up neutrally and naturally. For the eyes, it is best to use a brown, gray or blue pencil. They can draw a line along the upper eyelid and shade it a little. Remember that business makeup does not accept arrows, so eyeliner or black kayal will not work. Shadows can also be added to the pencil, but they should be as natural as possible - beige, cream, sand, gray tones are best suited. Apply a little shadow with a small flat brush to the entire moving eyelid and blend, pulling the color to the outercorner of the eye.
Mask can now be applied. Choose only black or brown and don't go for one that promises a dramatic effect or a huge increase in length and volume. You want natural, well-defined lashes with just a touch of color added.
Business eye makeup is ready, the only thing that can be added is a little highlighter in the inner corner of the eye and a little under the eyebrow to open the look and brighten the eye color.
Eyebrows
They also do not require brightness. Despite the fact that wide and bright eyebrows are in fashion now, calmer shades and soft lines are more appropriate for business makeup. Do not draw a clear shape of the eyebrow with a pencil. It is better to use eyebrow shadows and in the final, be sure to comb the hairs and fix them with wax.
Nuances with glasses
Many people in the office wear glasses. Someone - only sitting at the computer, and someone prefers their lenses for the whole working day. Business makeup for girls with glasses has a few special rules. If you're severely nearsighted, the glasses will make your eyes look smaller, so add some lengthening mascara or coffee or gray shadows blended into the lid and outer corner of the eye. But with farsightedness, the effect of glasses is the opposite, so use light shades of shadows to make your eyes look a little smaller.
When you put on make-up, it is natural that glasses interfere with you and you do everything without them, but when applying blush, glasses should be worn - only withgiven their location on the face, you will correctly place color accents.
Lips
As we noted above, business makeup has no accents, so bright or dark lipstick is completely inappropriate, as well as lipstick with a lot of mother-of-pearl. The ideal option is a lip gloss without large shimmer particles. It can be pigmented and give the lips a light natural shade - pink, caramel, coral. Or it can be transparent, then its wet finish will give the face a he althy and well-groomed look.
If you prefer lipstick, choose light and moisturizing natural, discreet shades. If you are used to using lip liner, choose one that matches your lipstick or your lips. After outlining their shape, blend the pencil towards the middle to achieve maximum naturalness. Apply lipstick over the pencil.
Finishing touches
When your face tone, eyes, brows and lips are perfect, it's time to add a couple of final details to your business day makeup. It's blush, of course. Choose pinkish translucent shades and apply them with light strokes on the cheekbones from the bottom up (that is, from the nose to the temples) using a soft, angled brush. Blend the blush well so that there are no clear boundaries.
In the final, you can apply a little dry or cream highlighter on the protruding parts of the cheekbones, on the edge of the nose and a drop in the dimple above the upper lip. It takes quite a bit of shine in these places to do everything.face fresh and he althy.
