OFFICE /DAY TIME MAKEUP MAKEUP LOOK 3

Hello everyone,
So today is day 3 for the office/daytime appropriate makeup look. I know its not easy to devote a lot of time in the morning to get ready let alone keeping time aside for makeup, but I hope reading the posts in this series will prompt you to keep aside 5 minutes  for yourself, its not too much, plus when you get a hang of it, it doesnt even take that long.
Here are the two looks I did before this:
LOOK 1
LOOK 2

So this look I have dedicated to kajal lovers. I know there are a lot of you there.
Hope I do justice to this one.
After your face is ready and prepped with foundation and concealer and you have set it up with a matte powder proceed to the eyes. Apply a light pale pink frosted eye shadow all over the lids concentrating on the tear duct.
Apply your kajal and immediately close your eyes tightly and open it up after 5 seconds, doing this will get the kajal to transfer to the top waterline and will somewhat tightline your eyes.Just add a little bit of black eye shadow on an angled liner brush or a gel eye liner brush which ever is handy and run it along the upper lash line and smoke it out ever so lightly .
Add your mascara after curling your lashes and apply a bronzer to your cheeks to warm your face.
Apply your favorite lipstick . To change it up a bit I added a bright plumy shade but if it is too mcuh you can always go for lighter and paler shade.
Easy peasy. and quick.




Just to add a bit to it, if your office enviorment is relaxed and you can add a little bit of black eye shadow to the outer v and blend . Not too dramatic.

It is also a quick way to change your makeup from day time to night time.
P.S ..Please excuse my hairs for this post, they are still wet and so I couldn't really style them.

These are just some ideas to spruce your makeup and try the same things differently, change the shape of your eyeliner, or try some brown instead of black or use eyeshadow as liner use a bit of gloss, curl your eyelashes they instantly pick up your face and makes your eyes look bigger, warm up your face with a matte bronzer, just subtle changes nothing too dramatic or noticeable but yet making a difference.
I hope I encouraged some of you try these makeup looks, or adding your twists to it .
Hope you like it

UNTIL NEXT TIME...

OFFICE/DAY TIME MAKEUP LOOK 2

Hello everyone,

In continuation the series I am going to be posting another easy breezy and quick look for the office /day time makeup look. I have already posted one look and you may check that HERE
I am keeping in mind here that these looks be achieved with as little products as possible and also more importantly they take minimal amount of time. So here is the look.

And here are the steps to achieve it.
After prepping my face with moisturizer I dot my face with bb cream/ foundation and blend it into the face using my REAL TECHNIQUES FOUNDATION BRUSH .

Then I go over my under eye area to cover up my dark circles and also to correct any dark spot or blemish on my face with a concealer.I set my face with a matte powder.Then I move on to the eye makeup

For this look I am using brown eyeliner and deep brown eye shadow.

Keeping this look soft I apply the brown eye liner to the top and bottom lash line and I go over with a deep brown matte eye shadow over the liner and smudge it a little to make it soft.

I have skipped the mascara for this look as I didnt want it to be too much, but you as well apply mascara.

I add a pink blush to my face and a pink/peach matte lipstick and I am done for the day.

I hope you are liking this series.
Until next time

OFFICE AND/OR DAYTIME EASY MAKEUP USING : NYX CHAMPAGNE AND CAVIAR EYESHADOW PALETTE

Hello my sweeties,
As promised this post is going to be my take on office makeup.
I am planning on doing a mini series of sorts on day time / office makeup looks, where in all the posts would be simple easy to do makeup looks. Do let me know in comments if any of you would be interested in that.

Now I know its neither practical or possible to give a lot of time for getting ready in the morning perfectly, but in a corporate or professional environment its good to look put together and poilshed all the time.
So here is what I came up with:

For the face.
After you moisturize it let it sit for a couple of minutes and proceed to eye makeup, once done with that apply your favorite BB cream or foundation ( depending on the coverage you feel your skin requires) set it up with powder, use concealer if required, I wouldnt skip it.
Set up the foundation with a powder.
Add a pinch of blush to your face for some freshness and color.
Now for the EYES:
Prime your lids. Apply a neutral shade all over the lids.
Apply a thin eye liner.
Curl your eye lashes,apply mascara
If mascara gets too much for you, I would suggest apply a clear mascara which will define your lashes.
Apply your favorite mid tone lipstick nothing too dark nothing too light.





And your simple almost no makeup but still makeup look is all set and you are ready for your office.
Now if still time permits, I would definitely say you should take a minute to groom your eyebrows, just fill it in a little bit, nothing too harsh.
