Beauty On Location: The Office


Most offices have different dress codes but where I'm working at the moment it's pretty formal. Most days I either find myself wearing dresses or skirts, which is great as tight jeans can be so uncomfortable after a long day! 

I've got a bit of a Kooples ensemble going on here, both the skirt and the top are something I picked up a couple of weeks ago in the sale - which I do recommend checking out if you're interested in some formal work wear with a neutral colour theme.

Makeup gets applied half asleep at around 7am and gets touched up with the contents from my 'at work' makeup bag (link to post here) throughout the day. I've been switching it up a little bit and been wearing two new purchases, the Estee Lauder Matt Perfecting Primer and the YSL Touche Eclat foundation. Both of which seem to be doing pretty well so far! I'll definitely be reviewing them after a more thorough test drive. 

Skin
Estee Lauder Matt Perfecting Primer - that has taken over from my beloved Givenchy Mister Matt for the past couple of weeks, I don't want to speak too son but I think I may just prefer it!
- I'm not one for a dewy finish but the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation, is really making me change my mind! Lasts well throughout the day, doesn't separate or clump!
- Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel in 917 Sable Rose on my cheeks (as always)

Eyes
- Mac Painterly Paint Pot all over the lids (link to post) followed by the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette shade Half Baked all over the lid
- I went on to apply my Avon SuperShock Gel Liner in Blackberry and blended the line out with a fluffy brush dipped in the shade Snakebite, also from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. 

Lips
- One of Benefits new Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Dandelion - review here

What's your work attire? Do you keep a makeup bag at work?

  7. Throughout reading your blog I was wondering whether you have the UD Naked 2 palette, since you are saying that you are a natural eyeshadow girl - and here it is! :-) I do not know what you think about it, but to me it is a very hyped product. However, I think it is a lovely palette and I enjoy using it.
    Enjoy reading your post - you are very inspiring!
    You made me want the Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel :-D Will check it out during my next flight at the duty free ;-) hopefully it will be still available then.
