After a couple of years of dealing with the pandemic, the world sees 2022 and 2023 as the year of great return. Many big companies are looking to have employees back in the office.

Now that the spread of COVID-19 is somewhat under control thanks to vaccinations and other preventive measures, it will be beneficial for many of us to reconnect in person. After a long absence, take advantage of the connections, teamwork, and variation in our daily routines.

It’s given that transitioning back to what used to be our everyday routines would be a challenge, considering that it’s been quite a while. Taking the time to unwind and gather yourself in the morning helps reduce anxiety, whether you’re worried about returning to your pre-pandemic schedule or eager to meet your favorite coworkers in person again.

You may come up with a new look on your first day back at work to get over the setbacks and a natural look to demonstrate your redefined professional abilities. A simplified skincare routine or new office makeup look might be all you need to get a head start.

In this post, we’ll focus on different tips about back-to-office makeup hacks, especially for those of you who often feel too lazy in the morning!

9 Back-to-Office Makeup Hacks and Tricks

Dressing up for work is not always a simple task. You still need to look fabulous after those long meetings, late shifts, and deadlines. Makeup can save you from all this. It can conceal those dark spots, stress marks, wrinkles, and lackluster skin. But wearing too much makeup at work can also be a disaster. On that note, here are some office makeup advice to get you looking fresh throughout the day.

 

  1. Wash your face the right way

First and foremost, get your face washed right the moment you get out of bed in the morning. For radiant skin, it’s imperative that you apply an appropriate amount of face wash that is suitable for your skin type. As you scrub your face, give it a few good splashes of lukewarm water to help remove any dead skin and extra oil. With a soft towel, gently pat your face dry.

 

  1. Apply moisturizer to your skin

Another habit to continue in the morning is moisturizing your skin after washing it to keep it hydrated all day. Again, use a moisturizer that’s appropriate for your skin type.  Skin moisturizers can come in a cream, lotion, or gel form. Look for a moisturizer that can help minimize pores and effectively retain your skin’s glow throughout your entire working shift.

 

  1. Take the time to exfoliate your lips

Slough off the dead skin cells on the surface of your lips to create a smooth surface when you want to apply a dark or pigmented lip color. To help things go smoothly, exfoliate your lips, then use a hydrating lip balm. Some face scrubs can double as lip scrubs if you don’t have a lip scrub on hand.

 

  1. Accentuate your lips with some color

A neutral matte lipstick is one of the most excellent options for business makeup. The benefit of matte lipsticks over glossy ones is that they last much longer. Additionally, it adds a polished touch to your makeup. Let your lips speak by choosing a matte lipstick shade that goes with your business clothing. As much as possible, stay away from bright colors. Don’t forget to bring a lip stain always wherever you go.

 

  1. Enhance your eyes

Eye makeup is another vital aspect of office makeup since the look feels incomplete without it. Although wearing eye shadow to work is entirely optional, go with gentle hues, particularly in bronze or brown, if you do.

 

Apply eyeliner to define your eyes. You can use kajal to highlight your lower eyelid, while gel pencils or eyeliner can be used to draw attention to the upper eyelid. Add a touch of mascara to top off your eye makeup.

 

  1. Go for a dewy-looking skin

Did you know that there’s just one easy technique necessary to achieve dewy skin? Using your makeup blender or sponge, apply a moisturizing facial oil or moisturizer after blending a sheer foundation or concealer with it—that’s pretty much it. With a lovely, natural-looking glow, this will give you the vibe of no-makeup makeup.

 

  1. See how you look in different angles and lighting

This trick may seem simple, but it’s commonly overlooked, which increases the likelihood that you’ll arrive at the office or wherever you’re going with makeup that looks less than attractive. Take extra care when quickly assessing your makeup in a few various lighting and angle, including both indoor and outdoor illumination, to avoid a fiasco.

 

  1. Employ the dot technique

Using liquid eyeliner to achieve the ideal cat eye is by no means simple. Try using the dot technique to make the procedure simpler. To begin, make a dot with the eyeliner where you want the point of your flick to be. Next, add another dot to the top lash line’s outside corner.

You can verify that your cat eye is even on both sides by repeating this step on the other eye and ensuring your dots are evenly distributed. Line your eyes as usual after adding a straight line of eyeliner to connect the two dots.

 

  1. Try some nail polish

Many of us don’t consider nail polish when considering office makeup tips. This, however, is a massive mistake. If you enjoy experimenting with nail art, save all of your experimentation for the weekends because sparkling and designer nails may be too much for the workplace. Maintain a clean manicure. Choose light colors for your manicures, such as neutrals or pale pinks.

 

Find What Works for You and Stick to It

Lastly, don’t be reluctant to try new products and experiment with your routine. When you think your makeup, hair, or clothes look great, take a selfie in front of the mirror and note what worked well for you for future reference.
