What Make Up do you wear for work?

[IndyEMSkitten]

I have a uniformed job with a very conservative dress code - we're only allowed stud earrings - and only one per ear. No bracelets or necklaces and only a wedding ring. I believe our SOP's state that makeup is supposed to be "conservative" or "natural", but I don't exactly follow that. I try not to get too outrageous, though. Today I'm wearing teal e/l but with neutral shadows, rest of the face is neutral. The guys at work know that I'm makeup-obsessed. They make fun of me, but then they also comment if I'm not done-up like usual!

a work in a hospital.. the research section to be specific so we dont really see the patients too often, well unless im interviewing them which is like two or three days a month. i usually do the neutral thing for work but add a little bit of color like a colorful liner or a little bit of something here or there... but for the most part pretty "day time mu"

My new office is a lot more laid back than at my old job where I could only get away with mascara, blush and natural lipgloss. Here I can get away with more obvious makeup as long as I keep it classy. I wear colours but not really bright ones.

It's sort of my shtick at school, so when I tone it down, people get worried about me, hehe.

Wow! I teach first grade and like you , I wear a very dramatic look most of the time. on day I wore a very natural look and my class said" Ms. Renee are you sick?" I just laughed! Kids are hilarious! I'm always giving makeup advice to parents at school tooand have been asked to do their makeup!HAHAHA!!

I work in an elementary school as an assistant. Getting up in th morning and putting on my makeup makes me feel GREAT!! Yesterday, the art teacher had the nerve to tell me I look like I should be working as a showgirl in Vegas. It hurt my feelings, but I love to express myself through colors. I had little minx, beutiful iris, and shadowy lady on. It looked beautiful ladies! But I really wanted to tell him to kiss my a@$!!

My office is at my house, so I wear whatever the heck i want. And I usually wear alot! People are so much friendlier when i have the shadow on.. heehee. And it can make going to the store an adventure!

 

[Starbright211]

I work at a law firm, and I pretty much wear what I want... I don't try to tone it down... because those flourescent lights can really wash you out!!! LOL!!! I'm talking glitter everyday, and those times that people compliment me, are the times when I have on red lipstick, or have used Rose, or Violet pigment...

I work at a pretty high end resort in Hawaii, but am in the development office so I don't pay much mind to what I am not supposed to wear makeup-wise (and i did wear jeans one day ha-ha!). I stick to my norm pinks/purples/blues/etc. No natural colors for me!

I'm lucky enough to work at MAC...
No other explanation necessary.

 

[niecypiecy]

when I was at the call center I wore whatever I wanted - now that I work in the bank office I am more neutral but now and then I say to hell with it and have a funky day

 

[Midgard]

I work in a laboratory, so there is no dress code for me. I wear whatever I want, but no smokey eyes, or blues.

 

[valley]

I'm a student... but when I did my internship I was allover the brights and black liquid eye liner. It's basically 'my thing' now... I go to a conservative school so people diffenetly notice when some chick in their class has yellow, green and blue on their eyelids.

 

[Bexx]

I wear the same colors everyday at work pretty much.
BC or Stillife paint
jest, mulch and shroom as a highlighter.
engraved pp and lots of mascara.
Cubic blush
and lip conditioner on my lips...
I am a Undergraduate nurse, so...I wear a pretty neutal looking face.
Just brightens me up a wee bit. I grad in May and will continue to wear similar shades I believe!

May I ask which MAC you work at?

 

[kappatit]

i work at sephora. i wear anything and everything including wild brights...unless there is a theme and we have to follow certain guidelines/looks.

 

[Joke]

I work in advertising, so we can go pretty wild to work.

 

[kradge79]

I work non-profit and I do get a little wild sometimes with purples or greens, but normally I'm too lazy in the morning to go all out. My staple looks is Naked Lunch and Phloof for eyes and a basic lipglass like VGV or Damzel. I do like to spice it up sometimes though!

 

[kedra70]

I work at a university, so I try to keep it toned down. I do bronze and twinks on the lid with knight divine in the crease. I used shroom as a highlighter. I might wear either fetish or so original as the lipstick.

 

[Rowan]

I work in a professional field & so mostly stick to neutral & earth-toned shadows & liners & light to medium-toned blush & lipsticks/glosses that enhance my coloring. I wear deep lipstick/gloss sometimes, like warm berries or warm reds, but applied lightly with eyes & cheeks kept soft.

 

[joytheobscure]

I teach school and I tend to wear neutrals (soba, cork, other brown shades most of the time) I also wear banshee, aristocrat berry shades- but I do wear green eyeliner nd wilder eyeliner because I cannot avoid wearing green eyeliner most of the time. I love my green liners and that is my personality. I used to be ultra conservative with makeup at work but it does define me, and I think as long as you don't go over the top its ok to wear colored eyeshadow as a liner on the top especially. I did go all out orange for spirit week though.
