With the ever-changing
dynamics of our
world, indoors has
become the new
outside, and this unexpected shift has
forced us to find new and creative ways
to socialise, and more importantly, get
work done. For instance, this edition
of Glam Africa was not put together
from our London headquarters as it
usually is, but rather from the homes
of each of our amazing team members,
which means we had to show up
for content and strategy meetings
entirely online. But the fact that we’re
all working from home now doesn’t
mean we can’t show up for digital
meetings looking and feeling our best.
So, we’ve put together a quick and
easy makeup routine that we think is
perfect for your next conference call.
You’ll want to start this look off
with a completely clean face. Wash
your face with clean, warm water
or use wipes to clean your face.
Apply serum and moisturiser
(whichever works best for your
skin), then apply makeup primer.
Primer helps makeup sit easier and
last longer. Simply dab some onto
your fingertips to apply it. Put on a
light foundation. A thin even layer
of foundation will work to smooth
out your skin and give it a uniform
appearance. Using your concealer,
apply under the eye, forehead,
nose and jaw and blend in. Thicken
your natural eyebrows using your
eyebrow thickener or pencil to
make them appear fuller. Choose a
subtle color from your eyeshadow
pallet, since it’s a work meeting you
don’t want to look overly dramatic,
blend in to give a natural eye look.
Make your eyes pop with a little
eyeliner and mascara to make
the lashes thicker and fuller. Add
lip color or gloss. Just like your
eyeshadow, you will have to choose
between natural-looking lip colors.
For digital meetings, it is best to go
with neutral pinks and browns that
are closest to your natural lip color.
Voila! You’re good to go.
