Applying Makeup ForWork
By Jurgita.com
Work and play have very different aspects to them. The same holds true when applying make-up for the different events. Generally for work you will use colors that are more neutral, like subtle colors and earth tones. This gives you a professional look and gives an aire of confidence to those you come in contact with. Most of the time if a person wears loud colors in a professional environment, everyone seems to not take that person seriously. Now let's get to the particulars
Again I want to emphasize the use of earth tones for your professional look.
You can still use three different eye shadows to create dimension in your eyes, just remember to use at least two earth tones in the combination of three shadows. Next when applying your eye liner use a slightly larger brush like our small shading brush instead of a brush like our Slant Tip brush. The idea here is that with a larger brush you will not create such a definite line, further creating a softer look. If you are asking yourself, why is all this important, I will tell you. It is still important to wear make-up at work for the secondary benefits it offers like, evening out your complexion, attracting attention to your eyes and finishing your look. The reason for the subtlety is you would like to be noticed for the work you do. It is important for people to recognize you for your achievements in the work place and not to attract "sexual" attention. That is the wrong place to attract that sort of attention. Let's move on to your blush. You can still wear color in your blush; just take it easy on the amount you apply. When you apply your mascara, apply enough to separate your lashes, giving your lashes a natural appearance. When it comes to your lips you have a few options. For true subtlety apply your blush color to your lips and finish it with a nice light lip gloss. Your second option is to just use a very neutral lipstick. Make sure not to line your lips. Lining your lips will draw too much attention to them, especially since the rest of your make-up is so subtle.
A great way to envision the points I made earlier is to think of the First Lady. Anytime you see her on television her make-up is very subtle, yet she still looks made up. You are looking to create the same thing. Remember you will go further on your achievements than on "looks".
Now it is time to leave work and maybe you have plans to go to dinner. What do you do? Well an easy way to change your "work" look into an "evening" look is to freshen up your blush, apply our Frosted Powder for a dewy look, and get out your favorite lipstick and you are ready for the evening.
Subtlety is the key here. Remember the example of the First Lady. Let your ability to do your job well carry you up the ladder instead of the way your make-up turns heads in the office
5 Min Makeup Tips
By E.Von Freudenberg
1.Foundation. The key is perfection yet still dewy. Remember that old matte look? It's out. Nothing will outdate your look quicker.....The trick? Mix a little bit of loose powder into your foundation on the back of your hand. What it does is 'soak up' any oil and turns any foundation into a matte....apply only where needed, but most likely down the t-zone. Remember, a fully covered foundation face is out and will age you by 10 years. Be sure to blend backwards towards the ears and concentrate down the front of your face.
2. Next, color. Cream blush, dotted on the apples of the cheeks. Don't forget to "smile" and blended back towards the ear so it looks real. Then dot a little on the lips, color permitting of course. And even on the eyelids, blended of course. If you really want to feel healthier and younger, a dewy look that's believable is the key.
3. Are you happier with powdered blush? Then apply cream blush first on cheeks, and then a little bit of colored blush on top....it'll take longer, but by setting with blush rather than powder, you can check off a step.
4. For eyes, apply your eye shadow on wet. Use toner that's alcohol free, an Eyeliner Sealer or just plain old water. Use a sponge applicator or a eyeshadow brush and brush on a light layer of toner/water across the eyelid or in the crease over the eyeshadow. Trick is to mist the eye shadow, not drench it. Or dampen the applicator/brush first and then pick up your color. That way, you avoid drenching the product and possibly even ruining it. You'll pick up the right amount of color....then apply....
5. Lips next.... grab a pencil, either eye or lip if the color works. Neaten up the lip line, or even fill in to darken a bit. Rather use lipstick? Dot a bit of liquid powder or loose powder on lips first, then apply color in the middle of the mouth and blend outwards...then apply your pencil. Your pencil will keep it on actually better than if you apply it last. Then take a Kleenex, and press a layer over your lips with the mouth closed. You should get a great lip kiss on your Kleenex.....the key to lips staying on. Because it's the 'excess' that will bleed and come off.....
6. Lip gloss....on the middle of the mouth, just "kiss", and dot on the
middle of both lips and even on the cheekbones as highlighter. Try the
eyebrow bone for a nice shimmer. You can try a a shimmery gold lipgloss for evening. Lip gloss too shiny? Use your chapstick instead.
7.So what's the secret to keeping makeup from fading in humid summer months? It's the light dusting of powder first. A photography makeup trick for models that's great when they're standing under hot lights, or even in the summer heat. I know it works. I just got back from a shoot in Arizona, where it was 117 degrees and it worked perfectly....
