How to have gorgeous and professional look make up look at work!

Bright colors and heavy make-up should be put on hold for nights on the town, when it comes to the office, make sure that your look is professional and your make-up polished.

Natural make-up
Keep your make-up light for the day and avoid shiny or heavy make-up. Be careful of bronzers and shimmer creams.

Most offices have bright neon lights that can make you look pale and washed out.

Use a good concealer of foundation to hide blemishes. Apply a little blusher to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy glow. Choose a blusher that is the same shade as your cheeks after you have been for a long walk so that will it will look natural.

Invest in a neutral eye shadow in a shade of grey or brown. Grey looks best with green or brown eyes, while brown eye shadow accentuates blue eyes.

Keep eyeliner and mascara simple in classic colors and be careful of smudging as you don't want to look like you have had a rough night out.

Choose a simple lipstick color for the office that will look neat throughout the day. A natural gloss works well.

Neat hands
Keep your hands and nails well cared for, and your nails fashionably short.

Keep a nail clipper and file in your handbag for emergencies.

Paint your nails a neutral colour or go for a neat, classic French manicure.

Remember that lighter colours will look neat for longer, because chips and cracks are less noticeable than with dark or bright polish.

Keep nail polish remover wipes in your bag to fix up any chips.
