The Office-Ready Make Up Beauty Guide
Whether you’re a Girl Friday just starting out or the Big Boss Lady, we’ve outlined the new code of conduct to make your beauty routine work for you come Monday morning.
OBJECTIVE:
Leap from cubicle warrior to corner-suite exec with can’t-lose office make up looks.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS. How to put on make up:
In or out of the office, makeup looks better on healthy, hydrated skin. “In unflattering work light, you can see everything, so start with a good moisturizer for a smooth surface under makeup,” says makeup artist Tina Turnbow. “I also de-puff each morning with an eye gel — store it in the fridge so it’s extra cooling.” On days you down a supersize latte, “I love peppermint lip balm — it moisturizes, tingles, and helps with fresh breath when you’re talking to people up close.” Just don’t skimp on the final review for your office make up: “Before you head out the door, take a mirror into natural light to make sure everything is properly blended.” You want eyes on the bottom line, not your jawline.
