How to wear Office-appropriate makeup like a pro?



Smudged eyeliner, tangled hair, half-painted nails is the story of every other working woman. Yes, we all know that we should look presentable at workplace but how many of us really know what presentable actually is!


For looking well dressed and presentable, it gets really important to look your extreme best without letting your responsibilities and tensions taking toll on you. And for that, you need makeup that is long lasting, and yes not bright. 
 
All you need to follow is this makeup guide before heading to your workplace.

Keeping it all natural is the key, darling!


Keeping it all natural is the key to nail office makeup. Unless you are working in a fashion zone, or nightclub; it is suggested to let it be soft-toned. Go for a tinted moisturizer, long-lasting one so as you don’t feel the need for re-touches.

Highlight the cheekbones


At the times when office lighting can be unflattering – Just imagine, the fluorescent lights beaming while giving a presentation. Better apply highlighter to your cheekbones to bring more emphasis on cheeks.


For those eyes only


Yes, we know how big smokey eye or catty- eye lover you are, but taking it to office is not a good idea. Go for a natural eye shadow instead.

And yes – no heavy eyeliner! Thick eyeliner catches everyone’s attention in a jiffy and makes your eyes pop. We recommend just applying it in the outer corner of the eye.

4. Lip Tip


Do you too get confused when it comes to choosing the lip color for office? Indeed, a power lipstick can fill the air of confidence in you but to keep it safe, opting for neutrals will be the right go. Lip balms, neutrals, lip stains and all that easy stuff. The key is to keep it simple and well-defined.

5. Power Hair


In the office, avoid the messy hairdos. Keep it sleek- go for ponnies, add style to it by keeping it glossy or using the smoothening serum. Think of taking it up a notch by wrapping it elegantly with a thick hair strand. Also, avoid the colourful highlights for office. Pick shades which are similar to your natural hair colour.

6. Nail the Nails


Sure, there is no harm in playing with the nails. But would not it be better if you do keep the funky or designer nails for weekends and show some serious colours in the weekdays!?

Tips to Remember

  • French manicure is best
  • Think of shades like nudes, pastel hues as these kinds of looks score good marks when it comes to office makeup.
  • For weekends, you can go for the nail arts and cool prints

 

7. Take care of the Fragrance


When it comes to office, sticking to light sprays is the best. Studies suggest that the aroma helps to improve the mental performance and let you feel imaginative.

P.S: More chances of appraisal…*Yay*

Now when you got the guide to do Power-makeup, be ready to garner compliments for your thoughtful choice. Do experiments, but do it wisely.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
