Turing out to be well groomed
everyday could be daunting for some of us and we often tend to get away from it
by saying ‘I don’t have time’ or sometimes we tend to put all the makeup we
have thinking the more stuff we have on our face, the better we’ll look. Both extremes
are not right and should be avoided.
Read the tricks of makeup to look
your professional best any time and every time.
1. Skip the
foundation: Go for BB Cream or CC cream or a tinted moisturizer for a light
coverage and even skintone.
2. Don’t forget
your Concealer- Nothing looks worse than dark circles under the eye, which are
even more evident once you become a mother. Pick up a good concealer and/or a
corrector if required to conceal them and give you an even tone and brightened
eyes.
3. Prefer Creams
over powder- When selecting your blush or an eyeshadow for daily wear, go for
cream products. These blend well into your skin and give natural finish. Avoid
cream products if you have really oily skin.
4. Natural Eye
Shadow- For a professional look, go for an eye shadow that is just two shades
darker than your skin tone in nude shades.
6. Ditch the
glitter or excess shimmer- Matte textures can make your face look really flat,
go for a bit of shimmer which will add dimension to your face. Avoid too much
of shimmer and completely avoid glitter in workplace.
7. Lip Balm and
Matte Lip colour are your best friends- Matte lip colour is best for daily use.
It gives intense colour and neat finish to your look. However, matte lipsticks
can make your lips feel dry. To avoid this problem, make sure your lips are
well exfoliated and apply lip balm atleast 10 minutes before applying lipstick
for it to be absorbed well into the lips.
8. Natural
Nails- Apart from your face, your hands are the most noticed part of your body.
Keep your hands well moisturized with a hand cream. Avoid dark nails at work,
go for natural shades of nail paint or for French manicure. Nail art should
also be avoided.
So, hope
following these tips, you’ll look presentable and professional all the time!!
