When you go to work, you want to put forth the best impression for your co-workers, clients and customers that you meet with.

Getting your look for work just right isn’t hard, but can make you appear professional and fabulous every time you head out the door.

You can use the following beauty tips for the office, no matter where you work.

Wear moisturiser

One of the top beauty tips for the office is to moisturize every day, whether you wear make-up or not. Apply a good facial cream morning and night so that your skin stays hydrated and healthy looking all the time.

Go subtle

Go for subtle, flattering shades on your eyes, cheeks, lips and nails and save the wild stuff for the party on Saturday night.

Keep a few basics with you

Keep some of your basics at work with you so you’ll always look professional. A brush for smoothing your hair, an extra lipstick and a tube of mascara give you the tools you need for a quick touch-up anytime it’s needed.

Wear easy hairstyles

Choose easy maintenance hairstyles for work so you can concentrate on your job. A braid, loose bun or ponytail are all appropriate in most workplaces.

Skip nail art

Skip the fancy nail art. Sure, it’s fun and gives your look some personality, but the office isn’t the place for it. It can be very distracting. That’s not what you want to happen when you want people to take you seriously.
