Quick Office Makeup Tips

When it comes to office makeup, follow the golden rule – “less is more”. So you have an important meeting after lunch and you hardly have five minutes to apply your cosmetics and refresh your looks.

Here are some tips on how to wear makeup in just five minutes:

Apply foundation on your face and neck and blend it well. It will even out your skin tone. Use compact powder on your face. It will set your foundation in place.

Sure you don’t have time to wear your eye shadow. But you can apply your eye liner pencil within seconds. Apply your eye liner on the upper eyelid and smudge it a bit to soften it. Now apply your mascara on your lashes. This will enhance the natural beauty of your eyes.

Apply your blusher on the apples of your cheeks. Always go for light shade. Apply your blush in a circular motion and blend it well.

Always use a lip liner if you want to wear lipstick. Lip liner helps your lipstick to stay in place. Outline the natural line of your lips and fill the color in your lips. Your lip color will stay for longer time. Apply one coat of your lipstick and then blot it with a tissue. Then apply second coat of lipstick. If you don’t have time to put on your lipstick, you can apply lip gloss. Don’t choose bold shades.

Go for Natural Makeup This Summer

So you want stay cool but look hot this summer? Less or minimal makeup is the golden rule here.  Summer makeup should not be too heavy and you should be able to see your features at their best. There are thousands of cosmetics and beauty products on the market especially for summers which helps you get that clean soft look.

Here are some suggestions for a flawless, beautiful face:

Face Makeup:

Foundation: You can apply a foundation to even out your skin tone. It will go on evenly and no lines to ruin the effect. You can apply tinted moisturizers with sun block to even out your skin tone. The best part is your skin will feel fresh and breathe freely. Women with oily skin should choose an oil-free foundation and apply it with a damp sponge. If you don’t like wearing foundation, you can use a light concealer. But make sure you apply it in the areas that need special attention.

Blush: Now apply a blush to the cheekbones. There are so many colors to select from which makes selecting the right one very difficult. In summers, opt for peach or pink blush that has a hint of shimmer. It will give a light reflecting glow to your face.

Compact Powder: Now that you are done with your blusher, apply a compact powder with a powder puff to give more coverage. This will help your makeup set in place.

Eye Makeup:

Eyeshadow: Use warm, neutral and soft shimmery eyeshadow shades in summers. Apply a light shimmery, satin eyeshadow all over the eye and then apply a complementary shade over the lid to the crease.

Mascara: Mascara is a must for complete makeup. Do not apply too much mascara; spidery looking lashes are really not impressive. Use dark brown mascara in summer days if you want a natural look.

Lip Makeup: Go for a lip gloss or lip balm this summer. Nude lips not only natural but also sensuous. If your lips are dry, then apply a lip balm before applying a lip color. You can curl your lashes to make them look longer and your eyes bigger.

Now this is your perfect summer makeup. You are wearing it, but people won’t be able to see it and still you will look gorgeous!
