How To: Conservative Makeup For The Workplace

Hi beauty lovers! So this week I have a bunch of job interviews coming up and I thought it would be a great idea to show how I would get ready for one. There are also a lot of businesses that create or host formal events and parties and they usually only allow their staff to wear very light makeup. You don't want to take any of the attention away with your green and blue smokey eye!

So basically all that I do is just prime my face and put my foundation on, today I used a mixture of the Smashbox Photo Ready BB Water and my M.A.C. studio fix waterproof foundation.

Then I went in with some concealer from M.A.C. concealer and a Tarte color corrector that cancels out the purple underneath my eyes, you can't look like a zombie on the job.

Then I just went in and set that with my Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder. I know this will come as a shock, but I did not contour at all. I decided I wanted to be contour free and I actually liked it. You can do whatever you prefer though because contouring can be subtle.

Then for my eyes I just went very simple, only two colors but that's better than leaving them bare. I went in with my Tarte Tartelette in Bloom palette and used a very light brown in my crease and a matte cream color on my lid. Effortless but still cute.

Then to finish off the look I went with a light pink satin lip, every beauty guru's favorite, Velvet Teddy by M.A.C.

Then I was out the door and feeling good! Make sure to share this with your beauty loving friends!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
