Tips for wearing makeup with all black work attire?

Question

i've gotten a new job which requires me to wear all black from shoes to shirt. i'm really fair skinned ghost white actually and normally wear black eyeliner around green eyes. creating a cat eye like effect.(my hair is blonde if that matters) and well i am not sure what to do to create a professional look while not looking to dark. any ideas!?

Answer 1

i would just wear mascarra and blush.

you dont want to go full goth, but if you'd like more makeup- don't use black :)

Answer 2

Try using a warm pink blush and a pale pink lipgloss to calm down all the black and maybe switch to a dark blue eyeliner that has the same effect without looking so dark.

Then, use warm coloured eyeshadow around your eyes to spread out the colour.

Because you have blonde hair, use that lessen the darkness of your clothing by leaving it out if its long and holding it back with a bright coloured headband ( if you are able to leave it out)

Hope this helps, good luck with your new job!

Answer 3

Try switching to a dark brown eyeliner, but as long as you aren't putting your black eyeliner on too thick(Amy Winehouse style) it should be fine. For work you wouldn't want anything too dramatic...depending on the job I guess...but take a look at how the other girls at work are wearing their makeup, especially the ones in higher positions than you and take a cue from them. Congrats on the new job!!xo

Answer 4

I think just that is fine! :) Good luck with your job!

Answer 5

For eyeshadow/eyeliner, try to stay as close to the color or your eye color to make your eyes greener.

Keep with a black mascara.

This should go perfect with all black, and your skin type.
