Pretty Interview Makeup

1. Prep your skin. First, cleanse and moisturize your skin so you start with a fresh palette. Then with your fingers, apply a small bit of foundation in a similar shade as your skin tone, and smooth it evenly onto your skin. The foundation used here was Revlon ColorStay Makeup in “Natural Beige 220.”
2. Press an olive-bronze shadow across your eyelids. Begin lightly brushing a shimmer eyeshadow such as Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks Eyeshadow in “Moss” over your entire eyelid. Then, blend it out over the crease of your eye.
3. Warm your cheeks with blush. Grab a fluffy blush brush and a bright pink blush such as Revlon ColorStay Powder Blush in “Haute Pink.” Then, begin blending the blush on the apples of your cheeks and then outward toward your temples. If you can’t find the apples of your cheeks, try smiling slightly so the rounded parts of your cheeks are more visible.
4. Finish with a subtle pink lip color. For an interview, give your lips a fun color, but keep it simple. A matte lip balm in a natural pink shade such as Revlon ColorStay ColorBurst Matte Balm in “Elusive” is just the right amount of color. First, line your lips, and then fill them in completely.

Add a coat of mascara, and you’re done! Now go nail the interview, and then pin, Instagram, and tweet out your pretty, professional look.
