Makeup for Glasses

My normal everyday makeup looks so blah and plain when i wear glasses compared to when I'm not. For some reason, once i put my glasses on, it seems like i don't have any makeup on. LOL

Glasses tend to put a dark cast under your eyes and they become the main focus of your face so its important to:

1) Use an opaque brightening concealer

Glasses frame your face and if you don't do your eyebrows, it may look off and weird. make sure you

2) do your brows, (thicker and more-arched than the usual) they frame your face.

3) Contour your eyes, face and do it darker than the usual. It may look a lot but when you put your glasses, it will look fine =)

4) Brightener: Use a shimmery eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes, brow bone, and the lids to brighten up your eyes

5) Bigger eyes: beige/cream liner on your waterline to make your eyes look bigger

thicken your eyeliner a little bit, extend and wing it out rather than following your eye

shape.

The Staple Pieces and Must haves of a Business Lady by superfoxmakeup

For the past 7 years i have been working, the first 5.5 years were in retail. I have worked for 3 clothing stores that gave us the freedom to wear what we want as long as you're "selling" the brand, its stylish and of course, decent and proper. But last October, i finally came in to the corporate world/business setting that requires more of a proper, conservative wardrobe/ dress code. Bye bye to many chunks of accessories, tons of layering and bold, bright colours but it doesn't mean i would not express a little personality in the clothes that i wear. I want to stand out but not too much...Not too dull and not too much trendy styles and colours… Just right! Mixing a little bit of colour to my neutrals is good for me… (all about balance!)

Behold my staples!! the basics i think we all need in our wardrobe.. then throw pieces here and there to make it more amazing ;)

MUST HAVE! classic, crisp white buttoned down blouse. this goes with anything, everything and all seasons! dress down and dress up of course

We all need 1 blouse that gives colour and personality but not too much. i get tired of blacks and whites if i wear it all the time. For me, this burgundy colour is perfect! (red is too bright). ohhh and i look too young my age so this makes me look more mature especially in the workplace. I wear most of my coloured shirts on mondays or dreary winter days--simple perk me ups!

white camis are basics we all need for sure

Navy blouse is a must have too. Wear and layer at work, then dress it up after… whether you're going to a club, a nice fancy date or having casual drinks. this top can be worn in so many different ways!

I do have a couple of tops that screams "wild" especially for conservative people in the workplace. As long as the company allows, its fine. Prints and stripes are the ones that takes out the blah in my wardrobe..oh, also no no to graphic tees at work ok?
