Three signs you’re wearing too much makeup to work

When you put on your mascara and eyeliner in the morning before you head to work, you might think you look office appropriate, but how do you know for sure? Depending on your company’s culture and environment, you may need to tone down the lipstick, blush and eyeshadow before you walk in. Here are some key signs that you might be overdoing it on a daily basis.

  1. You have too much going on at once: Allure magazine states that if you’re wearing colorful eyeshadow, eyeliner and lipstick all at once, you might be giving people a reason to stare. Keep it simple and natural with a product such as BABOR Liquid Eyeliner to open up your peepers and maintain a sense of sophistication.
  2.  Your eyes are too dramatic: A smoky eye might be perfect for a night out on the town, but it may be downright too dramatic for an office setting. Go light around your eyes and opt for a shimmery eyeshadow to brighten up your face.
  3. You can see your foundation: If you’ve caked on so much foundation that you can see it on the surface of your skin, you need to tone it down. Apply a light layer and you’ll still see results.

How to use gold eyeshadow to enhance your peepers
How many times have you found yourself wishing your peepers looked more intriguing? Even with a volumizing mascara, it may be difficult for you to achieve the look you desire if your eyeshadow is falling flat. To remedy this situation, step outside the box and try a metallic shade on your lids. If you’ve used color to no avail in the past, this might be the perfect solution.

Specifically, gold eyeshadow can do wonders for peepers of any color. This hue has been seen everywhere from the red carpet to the runway, but how do you rock it if you’ve never used this color before?

First, BeautyHigh.com states that it’s essential to begin with a primer to ensure that your eyeshadow doesn’t become dull throughout the day. Next, use a brush to apply the eyeshadow to your lids and keep going until you get the color you want – it may take some time for the gold to start to appear shiny and eye-catching. Finally, don’t be afraid to use your finger to do a little smudging on your lids and get the glittery eyeshadow to adhere right where you want it. By taking these tips into account, you’ll look fabulous in no time!

How to sport blue eyeliner like a pro

If you’ve been wanting to try something other than black liquid eyeliner around your peepers but you don’t know where to begin, why not inject a little color into your routine? Specifically, blue eyeliner can help make your eyes appear larger and more intriguing, according to RealBeauty.com.

There are a few ways you can utilize blue eyeliner for the first time and make it look like you’ve already mastered the technique. First, be sure to experiment with various shades of the color beforehand. This means trying different blue eyeliners until you find one that complements your skin tone.

As a rule of thumb, StyleUnited.com recommends going natural on the rest of your face if you choose to use a bright blue. The bolder the color, the less you should use on your cheeks, lids and lips. For instance, a nude lipstick can allow your peepers to speak for themselves.

Finally, don’t forget to give your lashes the attention they deserve as you line your eyes. Dramatic, dark eyelashes can be a great way to pull your entire look together. Look for a volumizing formula to truly make your peepers stand out.

Hot tips for keeping your manicure intact

Hot tips for keeping your manicure intact

There’s nothing more disappointing than putting on a beautiful nail polish only to see it chip away after just two days on your nails. If you love giving yourself at-home manicures but you can’t stand to see them fade, there are a couple of ways you can maintain their look. In the end, you won’t be afraid to show off your nails halfway through the week. Apply a top coat daily.

CollegeFashion.net reports that a top coat is necessary to help your manicure endure daily wear and tear. While it may be a pain to sit through the process and let your nails dry all over again, it’s worth keeping them looking great. Keep your cuticles out of the way.

It’s important to maintain your cuticles in order to give your nail polish the best opportunity to stick around. To ensure that they’re soft and make them easier to keep out of the way, use a product such as BORGHESE Spendide Mani Smoothing Hand Creme SPF 8. Groom your nails before polishing.

Cut and shape your nails accordingly before applying any polish for the best results. Shaped, short nails can help you achieve a clean, flawless look.
