Makeup for work

I’m sick of sticking to the usual things I do for work everyday. I change the lipstick colours but apart from that I find my makeup pretty much the same. Can you guys share tips on what you do?

I never did anything too dramatic for work when I worked in a corporate setting.

I always kept it very neutral...good base, mascara, kajal, blush and sometimes lipstick.

I only pretty much change my eyeliner, sometimes I just keep it light and sometimes I use different colours/different smokey-ness/make it more intense and that kinda stuff. Never been a full-on make up girl for work, might apply a bit of lippie as well but that's about it.

I'm always changing up or using different colours for work but by colours I mean all neutral colours LOL... Lately I've been doing an Adele inspired eye with black winged liner.

I'm usually very neutral except for the occasional splash of colour on the lips but I've had the same craving to change things up for a while now.......
I'm gonna start doing the eyes up......light neutral colour and smokey shading as well.....as long as it's not too dramatic it should be okay.....

I think yall have overlooked blush, it’s a great way to add a subtle glow to you, freshen up your face. You can use pinker hues to bring on a spring look or shimery bronzer like blushes to add a little glam.

I love the blushes in this set that my sister bought me for xmas: https://www.toofaced.com/p-1094-dreams-come-true-collection.aspx These colors are fun and a good change from the nars orgasm that all the brown girls are rocking these days.

Also sometimes i do a smokey eye with a dark brown matte color on my lid and I use a lighter shimmery brown in the crease and blend the dark matte color to the crease. It’s a great way to make a subtle smokey eye that’s still work appropriate. If anyone has the coastal scents pallet there’s a brown right above the black matte color I use that on my lids and use the shimmer lighter brown color on my crease and it stays all day because I use my studiofx lid primer. I don’t make an exaggerated area I really just stick to my crease and it looks natural and dramatic.

Also most days i do a matte nuetral color on my lid, a slightly darker color for the crease and just liner. now days however I line my inner lashes with black very thinly and then use my mascara and curl my lashes and go out like that. Other times when I do a nuetral matte color on my lids I curl my lashes and use a navy blue color or emerald green color OVER my black liner. it’s also a subtle way to make the eye pop and suitable for work.

I keep it subtle yet not too plain. For eyes, I just use kajal/eye pencil. For the face, it's mostly tinted moisturizer, concealer, cream blush. And some neutral shade lipstick for the lips.
