The golden rule of office makeup is to be natural. When choosing cosmetics, it is worth sticking to soft tones, since your goal is to make the appearance presentable, but not provocative. Choose makeup in shades that are as close as possible to the natural color of your skin, eyebrows and lips. Accordingly, red lipstick and smoky eyes should be left for the evening.
If you have time, apply a mask before makeup, which smoothes and soothes the skin of the face, this will only work for you, so you will look more rested. Well-groomed skin plays the main role in business makeup. If, in the case of an evening look, the eye is attracted by bright neon shadows or plump mother-of-pearl lips, then at work these techniques are more than inappropriate.
Align facial tone using a foundation with a light texture, so it will be easier to apply to the face.
If you want to paint eyes shadows, then give preference to calm shades (flesh, pale brown, milky white, peach or beige, calm flesh tones). It is advisable to use shadows without a shimmer or with a slight pearlescent effect. Apply lighter shades from the inner corner of the eye to the middle of the eyelid, and apply the darkest shades to the crease of the eyelid and the outer corner of the eye. This will create a beautiful expressive look, but it will not deprive you of your naturalness.
Arrows can be appropriate in the walls of the office, they are able to make your eyes expressive or slightly change the shape, for example, to enlarge them. But at the same time, you need to be careful and not overdo it with scope and brightness. The arrow should be drawn at the outer corner of the eye, not very long, but raised upward. The thickness of the arrow should be thin, no thick and wide lines.
Lining the eye is executed in brown or gray pencil. It is better to shade the border of the contour to mask the irregularities, which become much more noticeable in office lighting.
Girls who wear glasses rouge should be applied by wearing the accessory on yourself. If your glasses are for myopia, then the lenses will make your eyes look smaller. They can be visually enlarged by correcting the eyelid line with an eyeliner and making the eyes more expressive by using shadows of different shades: highlight the middle of the eyelid with a light color, and draw the fold of the eyelid with a darker shade, blend everything thoroughly.
For office makeup, matte pomade or delicate shine.
Use ink brown or black shades without super effects. Theatrical lashes in office makeup will look out of place.
Apply thermal water throughout the day to prevent flaking and dryness. Always carry matting wipes with you, they are always relevant and must have for any girl.
