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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
