What Make Up do you wear for work?

[flowerhead]

Well, I go to Art college so anything goes really.
I usually wear my base and smokey eyes which consists of
Eye khol in smolder to line upper and lower lids
Eyeshadow in espresso on lid
And loads of pro lash.

Since I usually have to be up at 5 am and work in a bookstore, my everyday make-up is both minimal and natural.

Usually it consists of:

1) suncreen mixed with a few drops of Smashbox Studio Seamless foundation, or Quo Mineral Makeup (sadly discontinued)

2) a touch of Quo Powder Foundation lightly brushed over to tone down some of the shiny (I just bought some beauty powder in Tahitian Sand, so I'm going to experiment with dusting a bit of that on the high point of my cheeks - it looks like it has a very subtle shimmer, and I think it will add some warmth and glow without looking overdone)

3) a pale e/s over entire lid and a smudge of plum or taupe in the outer third of the lid (I've been mostly using Rimmel trio in Lynx or duo in Biscuit Box, or Revlon Berry Glam LE cream shadow quartet, but I want to start using Trax in the corner)

4) A coat of mascara (usually Maybelline, in Black) and a tiny swipe of liner on the upper lid (usually Rimmel Exaggerate in Aubergine, or Two-tone definer in It Girl - the lighter color is a good highlighter for the inner corner of the lower lid)

5) sometimes I'll sweep on a little Jane blush in Blushing Petal

6) lipstick is very neutral, usually Rimmerl in Goddess or Heather Shimmer (if a darker look is called for) and/or Lip Vinyl in East End Snob or Mmmm.

Sometimes, in a time crunch, I only do sunscreen, powder foundation and mascara.

 

[Life In Return]

I'm a supervisor at Best Buy, and they don't ever say anything to me about it. They usually ask me, "So what colors do you have on today?"... I've worn greens, yellows, pinks, blues, golds... really bright stuff.

Our store manager is pretty cool. He allows people to have colored streaks in their hair (i.e. blue, pink) and facial piercings as long as they are small. As long as it still looks semi professional and doesn't affect your job performance, it's all good

I usually wear no make up or very little because most of the time when I get home my eye make up has smeared or sweated off. I'll put foundation around my eyes to even out my skin tone and follow up with translucent powder. sometimes I'll add Honey Lust, Mulch and some mascara.

Well i'm a uni student and most mornings can't be bothered to do my makeup at 7:30 am. However I work as a technical engineer in a live music venue when at home and even though i have to wear black clothes for this, i love to brighten up a bit and wear pretty much anything makeup wise. The more creative the better! For example on Friday night i did a smokey eye with carbon, vanilla pigment etc, but then lined it with some cheap pink liquid liner that i picked up from somewhere.

 

[MisStarrlight]

I'm in the middle of my student teaching (coincidentally to be an art teacher). At the elementary I kept it to Naked Lunch, Swiss Chocolate & Espresso in the crease w/ some carbon liner & Viva Glam V lipglass. Now I'm at the middle school and all of the kids know my other job is a makeup artist so they expect me to have amazing makeup. I wear a lot more-usually doing a modified smokey look, but I tend to stick with the browns/bronzes or pinks still....I need to get a job from this so I can't scare off the other teachers.


And for the record, DivineFacez, I'd never tell you that you looked like a showgirl-although if I did, it would be a total compliment cause they have amazing makeup!

I work as an "Everything" in an antique store. I wear pretty much whatever I want no problem b/c of my age and my boss knows I'm an MA on the side. But since I now work in the back of the store painting all day, I'm not wearing anything much b/c I'm not impressing anyone but myself.

I work for a construction company as the basically how would you put it... anything that has to do with the paper side of things, bookkeeping, forms, payroll, anything and everything like that i do... i have my own office it's the only one i have, and most of our "meetings" are just when a client will come by to check on the status of getting A/R's out to them and they careless, as does my boss, his wife is a hair stylist/real estate agent so hes around her friends all the time... hes use to it lol

my job is pretty good really, i get away with a lot! 8)

I wear bright blues/greens/glitter- we can wear anything here. The only problem is when I'm actually 'going going out'- my everyday makeup is the kind girls wear out. I have a problem trying to up it to 'club' make up.

(I work for a small insurance company- as an Insurance agent. I deal with people all day- most compliment my make up!)

 

[L281173]

For work, I am generally conservative. I will either do a bold eye or a bold lip

 

[lackofcolor]

i cant wear any out of control colors and it has to be neutral or "light" so i always wear coco beach with deckchair as a highlighter and vanillia from deckchair to the brow.

 

[serendipityii]

As a fulltime student, I get too lazy to put on makeup. I go to class in sweats and Nikes; I don't have time for makeup!

When I go to work though, (as a waitress) I do anything from smoky browns to teals to fuschia. I find that the more "outrageous" I get, the bigger tips I get. =)

 

[ishtarchick]

i agree with most college students here, i wake up way to effin' early so all i do is curl my lashes, some coco pigment, mascara, any blush i find in my mu bag, and lipgloss, usually VGV. for my job in a coffee shop, my uniform is dark green so i usually add either golden olive or sumptuous olive to my coco look, some eyeliner, more mascara. contour my cheeks some more and wear lipstick instead of lipgloss (lasts more).
and weekends when i'm a teacher, i wear just about any colors i like, just nothing too over the top, like glitter, or fancy liner up to my temples, etc.
