At Christmas you must have everything ready to live a festive and most endearing time. Surely you have not neglected a single detail of the decoration of your home, that you have already thought about where and what you are going to eat on those days, and your looks for each of the events.
Now, when the company Christmas dinner arrives, doubts usually assail us: what outfit should I choose? Can I wear glitter? Do I need a more discreet manicure? And, besides, surely you have considered how to make up for the company Christmas dinner. Don’t worry! We give you some keys that will be of great help to get a make up to match.
Tips to keep in mind for your company Christmas dinner make-up
Before starting to choose the make-up that best suits your company, we are going to see some tips that will be of great help to you. The important thing is that you keep in mind that you need discreet, subtle makeup and that you should not forget the professional image you want to project:
- Look at the look you are going to wear before choosing your makeup. This will give you some clues as to which colors to choose for your lips or for your eye shadows. It is important, in this sense, that your outfit is discreet and that the makeup accompanies this style.
- Forget fantasy-type makeup. You are not going to any party or meeting with your friends, but with co-workers and even, perhaps, your bosses. So forget about glitter and tones that are too strident for your beauty look .
- Bet on the classics. If you don’t know how to put on makeup, you can opt for your natural makeup, the one you use in your day to day, and incorporate an intense red lipstick to give a note of distinction to your style.
- Decide, before putting on your makeup, if you want to give prominence to your eyes or your lips. This point is quite important, since it is about giving balance and elegance to your face. To do this, you can either highlight your look with Smokey eyes, or you can paint your lips in a dark tone. Be that as it may, if you paint your eyes a lot, have your lips go in a natural color. The opposite of if you highlight your lips, your eyes will have to look as simple as possible.
- Take into account what the company is like and where you are going to have dinner. If it is a small company, in which you all know each other, you will be able to give more free rein to your imagination with your makeup (always discreetly). Here it is also interesting to know where you are going to have dinner, since a tapas bar is not the same as a trendy restaurant in your city.
Step by step for your company Christmas dinner makeup
Let’s start to see step by step how you should do your makeup for the company Christmas dinner. Take note of all these tips and we assure you that you will have a total success. Let’s start!
Moisturize your skin
- Before starting any self-respecting makeup, it is very important that you have your skin perfectly hydrated, shiny and cared for. To do this, if you have not already created your beauty routine, we recommend that you do a facial cleansing a few days before, which you can also do at home.
- In this sense, on the same day as the company Christmas dinner, we recommend washing your face well with micelle water and, later, applying a good moisturizing cream suitable for your skin type. In this way, you will have a perfect face to last the whole night with a good face.
Foundation, highlighter and concealer
- One of the tricks that you can carry out in your makeup for the company Christmas dinner is to mix your moisturizer with the fluid foundation that you have. In this way, you will get a very luminous and perfect face, and you will also gain extra time by mixing both steps.
- Once you have your makeup base on, it will be time to apply the concealer and highlighter. Bet on an orange concealer for dark circles and apply it once you finish painting your eyes, so if shadow remains fall you won’t have to take it off again. Then apply the illuminator in the same dark circle, lengthening to the crow’s feet, and also use it for the fixed eyelid, the tear duct, the rictus and the upper lip.
Apply the blush
Once you have the highlighter on, apply the blush you have chosen for your makeup and you will have your face ready for the rest of your makeup. To do this, choose a color that goes with the rest of the eye and lip makeup you have chosen: it can be a dark tone, a cream color or a coral or pink tone, it’s up to you!
Apply them making a multiplication cross on your cheekbones, and understand well so that a blush is not too marked. What matters here is to enhance your cheeks and give them a more special touch at the height of the event.
Highlight your eyebrows
- Surely, before starting your makeup, you will have already outlined your eyebrows properly to remove the hairs that do not seem aesthetic to you. Well, now it’s time and, for this, you can bet on a gel in the tone of your eyebrows, or powders and then gel without color to seal.
- You do not need to artificially apply makeup or go overboard with makeup, what we want to convey is an image of security, confidence and above all naturalness. So opt for simply painting the bald spots on your eyebrows (if any) to achieve some uniformity.
Make up your eyes
- The time has come to choose the perfect makeup for your eyes. Here, as we told you a few lines above, you must take into account your look and how your lips as well. If you have opted for a dress in a neutral color, like black for example, you can opt for a note of color through your eye shadows. If it is a more striking color, it is better that you use simple eyeliner. And if your look is rather discreet? Then you can do a smoky eye makeup, better in brown than in black, and give your look even more depth. Be that as it may, apply the eye shadow in circular movements and, above all, forget about glitter shadows or glitter.
- You should also take into account the shape of your eyes. For example, if you want to enlarge your look because you have very small eyes, forget about applying the eyeliner on the bottom line: just apply it on the upper eyelid. And what eyeliner to choose? Better one that is made of gel, since it will last much longer.
- The mask, for its part, is essential in any self-respecting makeup so for your company dinner make up, apply it from the roots to the ends and you will have a spectacular look. At this point, if your lashes are a little small, you can also curl them. Of course, leave false eyelashes aside in this event since it is not very appropriate.
lip makeup
- As we said, if you have applied an eye shadow that is too striking (such as a smoked or a vibrant color tone) you should make up your lips in the most discreet way possible. For example, with a nude lipstick, a simple gloss or a very light pink color to convey naturalness and harmony.
- Lips plus of elegance, and you haven’t barely made up your eyes or you have simply put a little eyeliner on them without shadows, you can opt for lipsticks in other, more striking colors. For example, red, garnet or fuchsia pink will be your greatest allies.
- You must bear in mind that while you are having dinner it will be difficult for you to touch up the lipstick. Our recommendation is that you paint your lips, apply a little bit of powder to seal, and put your makeup back on. You can also use a fixative for both the eyes and the lips, so that your lasts longer in perfect condition.
