We spend most part of time at our work, that’s why it’s very important to look excellent in your office. What is modern business makeup, corresponding to accepted canons and reflecting feminity and personality? Our master-class will show how easy it is.

General business makeup canons:
Business makeup should be expressive, but reserved.
Cosmetics should accentuate merits and hide defects.

Makeup and cloth should harmonize with each other and correspond to your personality. Compatibility of elements of your image also shows your taste.

Try to win other people’s favour using business makeup.

Business tones will show that you respect people near you and ready to blend with common business rules of the organization, collective, group.
Makeup professionals consider that ideal business make-up should have an element of reticence, everything is half-toned. Nothing should distract you from the main thing - business.

Psychologists state that too thorough make-up says that you are more solicitous about your appearance, than business problems. Bright tones can tell that you are trying to distract your interlocutor. Carelessness is self-explanatory.

Your sex appeal should not be the main fact, you can show it in light touches. Excessive stiffness is also useless. You know, you are a Woman, and this moment you are a Business-Woman.

In fact, many professions and posts allow one ranking himself among business people:
1. Top managers and directors
2. Managers
3. Financial experts: auditors and analysts
4. Different clerks.
5. Office-managers, secretaries.
6. Organizers of actions, events, negotiations
7. PR-managers, producers, promoters.

This list hardly contains all kinds of activities, requiring business image. For example, teachers. Students - children or adults, can be even more critical, than your friends, sitting next to you. Appearance is a important criterion in modern life.

Make-up, cloth, rules of behavior often enslave a person, he feels constrained.

If you have merry freckles, or notice first wrinkles on your face, you may leave them, without spending enormous efforts on their hiding. Of course, if you can devote yourself to your image during a vacation or coming Christmas holidays, this is wonderful. But if you need to freshen yourself up quickly, only a slight correction is necessary.

Firstly we will try to lighten a make-up issue.

Of course, every type of face has its own tones. Now then main thing is to show that every woman can refresh herself up quickly and accurately, to appear in office being beautiful, feminine, but business-like person at the same time.

Step 1. Application of base.

It is better using cream you skin got accustomed to: this can be a moisturizing day cream. Now there’re very comfortable cosmetics: creamy tonics “2 in 1″. They refresh skin and create a good foundation to apply tone. You get comfort, functionality and time saving.

Span time: less than 1 minute. Plus several plug motions to remove excesses.

Step 2. Application of make-up foundation.

To avoid “mask” effect, use foundation of two tones:

a. One tone lighter your skin
b. One tone darker your skin

Use dark tone to hide defects, and lighter one accentuates merits.

Mix tones. Such mix will make your skin smooth, tone will look natural. Choose steady creams of famous brands to avoid constant make-up correction.

Make-up foundations also can “change” your face contours favorably.

For example, to make your face longer visually and create “leanness” effect, you should apply dark tone on cheek-bones, and lighter one - on chin and upper part of forehead.

Time span for foundation manipulations - less than 3-4 minutes.

Step 3. Eyebrows.

It is better shaping your eyebrows beforehand, in the evening.

Do not make your eyebrows too short. Eyebrow should start above inner eye corner and finish behind external corner.

If you want to accentuate your eyebrows, do it now: you know, they form reference points to apply shadows or eye-pencil. Do not use black eye-brow pencil, only special brown pencils.

Time span: about 10 minutes for accurate plucking. 1-2 minutes for penciling.

Step 4. Application of shadows, penciling.

Apply light tones on inner eye corner and under eye-brows.

Now apply apricot, rick-red or light-pink tone on light shadows. Shadows can be of any color, suitable for your type, but the tone should be light, delicate or subdued. It is better using shading technique.

Then use pencil, suitable for your eye color.

Liner: for brown eyes - brown pencil, gray and dark-blue eyes - black pencil. But: use gray tone for business make-up, not black one. Otherwise you run risk to make lines too bright in a hurry. And gray liner’s half-tone will better harmonize with shadows.

Time span: 4 minutes.

Step 5. Application of mascara.

This is the last touch for eye make-up.

Lengthening or volumetric? It’s you to decide. What is more important for you: to accentuate depth of your eyelashes or their flight? Apply one coat, then another - and length is guaranteed. But this can take 2 minutes more. Our goal is to save time, but create professional make-up. So there’s an excellent way out: using mascara with rigid elastic brush. It divides eyelashes greatly (there will be no nubbins) and makes them longer.

If you decided to apply two coats, after first coat you need to powder tips of eyelashes slightly, and only after this apply another coat. Mascara will last longer and look will become more expressive.

Time span: 1-1,5 minutes for one coat and about 4 minutes for two coats.

Step 6. Final touches

Apply rouge on cheeks, chin, tip of nose and forehead. The tone should certainly correspond to shadows tone.

When you choose a lipstick, prefer soft tones: cream, caramel, brown, coral. Choose the most delicious and delicate tone.

Ideally, lipstick should be water-proof and long-lasting.

Scent: use perfume with light, fresh, unobtrusive scent.

If in the evening you need to transform into a romantic, refined lady quickly, just take a bright lipstick (gloss) and shadows with you. Your morning make-up is multi-purpose, and you will need only 5 minutes to transform it into an evening one.
