How to Apply Makeup for Work

Video Transcript

"Okay, hi, I'm here with my model and I'm helping her get ready for work. I'm giving her the tips she needs to look beautiful for the daytime. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can apply your makeup for work. Now, depending on where you work will make a difference in how you apply your makeup. If you have a day job, you'll want to keep it fresh and clean. If you have a nighttime job, maybe serving tables or working in a night club, you might want to go a little bit heavier that you get a great look. Now, what I've done here is I actually enhanced her brows a little bit because we're going to keep the face very clean. And when I say clean, we're not going to use a whole lot of color. As you can see, her blush is very soft, we did a very shimmery eye, and we've kept it very soft. We also enhanced her lips and gave her just a natural shine as well as we used a color that will enhance her lips. She has beautiful lips. We don't want to do overpowered lip. Nothing red or bright burgundy. Keep it soft with your natural lip color. Remember to enhance the eyebrow because this is what creates a beautiful shape for the face, and it's the first thing people are going to see when they see you. So you don't really need a whole lot of color during the day. Remember to keep the eyes soft. Use a nice pencil around the eye, as you see we did here, also, using a very soft amount of blush. You could use cream blush or you can use a powder brush, and you simply apply a soft amount to the cheek area, making sure not to come in too far. Don't bring it past the middle of the eye pupil. This is the pupil. You want to keep that blush from there, back. And don't apply to much. If you do, take a little translucent powder and make it a little bit softer. Now my model is all ready to go to work. She has a beautiful look. I'm just going to take a little bit of powder and get rid of a little bit of the shine and she's ready to go. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can create a beautiful look of makeup for the daytime and for your work."
