Make Up Games and the Office

I read an article the other day that said you must wear make up to be taken serious in the office. I’m not sure if I agree completely, but there is probably some merit to the article. In this particular piece, the author was trying to help young people understand how important it is to dress well and play make up games. I think it’s all a matter of opinion.  There are many successful women who don’t slather on a full face of make up every day anyhow.

I don’t normally wear make up to work, so playing intense make up games every day would drive me nuts. What I do use, however, is a heavy duty moisturizer and highlighter to ensure that my face looks healthy and clean. A bit of mascara and some lip gloss completes the look. If you have nice skin tone you can present a clean and healthy face to the world every day without layers of make up. Think of this as make up games for good reason.

Make Up Games and Funky Eyeliner

Everywhere I look these days I’m finding girls – and guys – rocking some interesting eyeliner. These make up games are fun to look at, of course, and I’ll admit that I’m intrigued by them. What would I look like if I were wearing bold eyeliner? Perhaps I should add a few swipes for the day and find out. Should I use white liner? Black liner? Maybe I need a bit of extra flare with cat eyes and little dots.

Before anyone ever tries to play make up games with eyeliner, you absolutely have to go through a training process. Fortunately, there are many different videos and instructional how-tos out there now that will show you how to apply all sorts of make up items, including wild eyeliner. Practice at home first and be sure that you’re comfortable with the look you’re creating. Once you head to school with wild eyeliner, you’re set for the day, so you want to be sure that you’ve mastered it before you leave!

Make Up Games and Fake Eyelashes

I’m starting to wonder if all the make up games with fake eyelashes are really necessary. Every time I turn around I find someone else wearing a bit batch of fake eyelashes. Dark, luscious lashes are absolutely all the rage – who doesn't want to look like a sultry diva with half-closed, sexy eyes? But the problem is this: no matter how realistic the fake eyelashes are designed to be, they still just look so very fake.

Take for example the recent episode of Glee. Rachel was sporting her super sexy look and trying to seduce the new college boy. She was staring at him with some serious intensity – her eyes closed, she looked sexy and I couldn't look away from the big, black fake eyelashes she was wearing. Sure her outfit was complete.

She looked the part, but it bothered me that the fake eyelashes were so fake that they didn’t even look real in onscreen make up games. I can’t imagine there would ever be any that appeared real when you’re looking someone face-to-face. Perhaps we should just ban them from “real life” and just enjoy fake eyelashes as part of a costume.

Make Up Games for Young Girls

Young girls are naturally curious about makeup and various make up games. Fortunately, the online versions of make up games makes it possible for these younger girls to explore their own sense of style with make up as well as learn how to best apply the make up so that it flatters their natural beauty rather than distracting from it.

Playing make up games online is a great way for young girls to learn a lot about the different types of make up and how to actually apply the items and make it look good. With a girl’s face online, the make up games, let young would-be make up artists create a look that flatters features and uses the most common cosmetics. When the you’re finished playing online, you can then use the same tricks of the trade to create a look for yourself in the mirror. It’s amazing how much you can learn by applying make up online before you try it out yourself at home.

Make Up Games and Sales

This isn’t the season to find the best sales of the year on make up. Those days are right around the holiday season. But this is the time of the year when you can enjoy trying out new sorts of make up to decide what you like and what you want to buy when it does go on sale. Consider the crowds in December. Clinque may be having the greatest sale of your life, but you’ll have to force your way through the crowd to buy anything, and how do you even know what to buy?

To determine your best choices, you should do your browsing now. Understand that this means you’ll likely need to buy a few small things, but you can save the big purchases for later this year. Have your make up done at the counters to learn about the different items and to see how they work. Right after school starts is generally pretty slow in the department stores. Bring a friend after school to get your make up done and you’ll be able to get attention and ask all of your questions about items. Then, you can grab them when they really are on sale this winter.

Make Up Games and No Make Up

Normally when you think of make up games, you imagine all of the different sorts of looks that you can create with make up. But there is one style that is challenging to create with make up, although if you can make the style work, you’re truly gifted with make up games. The end goal of this project is to appear as if you’re wearing no make up at all.

In most make up games, you’re looking for styles you can wear on your face to draw out your eyes and highlight your lips. Lipsticks, eyeliner and eye shadow are all part of this game. But what if you had to draw out features without showing any of the normal make up items that you use? You’ll be stuck creating a new look using only nudes, neutrals and the most natural colors in lip gloss and mascara. But it can be done.

Creating a nude look on the face is not only exciting, but it’s freeing as well. Cover the spots and make your eyes pop – but do it all so naturally through make up games that others simply don’t notice what it is that you’ve been up to.

Make Up Games for Back to School

Everyone wants to make a good impression on new friends as they start the school year and this year is going to be no exception to that rule. Make up games are a natural part of getting ready to go back to school. You need to know what looks good on you and what sort of make up is the best type to really make you features stand out without looking as though you've painted up your face for a big night out on the town.

Your school make up games should be pretty simple and straightforward. You'll want to wear make up that appears light and natural most of the time. Sometimes you might have a bit of fun wearing some bright eye shadows and eyeliner, but just about every morning you should be able to swipe on your five minute face and be out the door - ready for a grand adventure that your school day brings.
