This summer’s makeup is all about—well summer. Pool blue eye shadows and bright strawberry margarita lips are showing up throughout magazines and on makeup counters. Most of us can’t wait to wear these cheerful, eye-popping shades, but pulling it off in a 9 a.m. office meeting isn’t the easiest task.
Can you appropriately rock these bright colors that scream “beach party!” while working on your Monday morning memo? Sure you can, and we’ll tell you how.
Choose one area to highlight
The key to wearing summer makeup to work is highlighting just one facial feature. Going overboard on bright colors will not only make you look clown-like, but it will be way too much under the fluorescent lights of the office. Wearing too many colors can also seem unprofessional when meeting with your managers or clients. However, a bright, shimmery blush or intense, teal eyeliner can make a classy statement and give you a smart, seasonal flair.
More summer makeup suggestions to brighten your workday…
• Soak up the sun. You may not be getting a tan in front of your computer screen, but you can sure fake it! Bronzers and shimmery golden eyeshadows can give you a sun-kissed look.
• Be inspired by your favorite drink. Margarita green eyeshadow, daiquiri-colored lip gloss or a pale lemonade yellow on your nails can all give you a “delicious” and refreshing color scheme.
• Look around you. Summer can be one of the most beautiful times of the year. You can find make-up ideas in the many colors around you: the aquamarine ocean, glistening sand, cherry pie on Independence Day or swimsuit patterns you see at the pool.
• Don’t mix and match too many brights. Take a tip from makeup artist Deborah Grayson. If you’re uneasy about going too bright during the day, use a light touch of color instead. “It’s all about modifying with layers,” she says. “If you want to wear a dense or vivid tone, apply a sheer layer for work; then after-hours, you can layer on more of the same.”
So go ahead. Don’t be afraid to give yourself a summer vacation with your makeup at the office!
