How to look polished and professional with makeup
We all know that first impressions are important, and in the business world, they can make or break a deal. Whether you’re meeting with clients, attending a conference, or giving a presentation, looking polished and professional is a must.
For an important meeting:
Start by prepping your skin with a hydrating primer or serum, then apply a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer. Next, use a creamy concealer to brighten your eyes, hide any blemishes, and finish with a light dusting of powder.
For the eyes, suggests using a nude pencil to line the inner rim of your lower lash line. This will help wake up your eyes without looking too done up. Next, sweep on a coat of lengthening mascara, concentrating on the outer lashes for a subtle cat-eye effect. Add a touch of color to your cheeks with a rosy blush, and finish with a clear or nude lip gloss.
For a big presentation:
Begin by applying a long-wearing foundation or concealer to create an even base. Then use a matte bronzer to contour your cheekbones, forehead, and jawline for a sculpted look. For the eyes, start with a primer to help your shadow stay in place, then apply a neutral shade from lashline to crease. Line your upper and lower lashlines with a dark brown pencil, smudging it slightly for a soft smokey effect. Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara. A nude lip will complete the look without drawing attention away from your face.
For a networking event:
Start with a light foundation or tinted moisturizer, and use a creamy concealer to brighten under your eyes and hide any blemishes. Sweep on a dusting of translucent powder to set your makeup and control shine. For the eyes, suggests using a champagne-colored shadow from lashline to crease, followed by a darker shade in the outer corner for definition. Line your upper lashes with black pencil, then curl them and apply several coats of mascara. Add a touch of color to your cheeks with a peachy blush, and finish with a sheer lip gloss.
