The first time I heard the quote "looking good is good business" i pondered about its meaning. It was from a receptionist in an advertising firm. For someone in such an establishment, its quite necessary, I mean very mandatory to look good. She did look good with the right outfit - a blue striped shirt with a matching navy blue skirt. She had lovely black "wet-look pointees" on. She looked fabulous except for her makeup! Gosh! That outfit didn't march the face, for crying out loud, you are not going for a costume party as a masquerade! I was depressed.
I couldn't get my eyes off her outfit though coz it just fit right but her makeup was an insult to Mary Kay, for she claimed to use that brand of Makeup. If Mary Kay had seen her that day, she wudda closed down her business. Like seriously, some people just don't realize that makeup is supposed to enhance your already God given beauty not for an artistic face painting that would turn you into a scarecrow! I mean she thought she looked good, maybe she did but minus the outfit, I'd keep her on a farmland to scare off all kinds of birds.
Lets get down to business, I'll just give you a few tips on how to look good at work with a few products. Afterall, you need to look good to get good business. Some of you would say, "I'm always at the counter paying or receiving cash who cares how I look"? Your customers do. Some would keep coming back coz of some smart looking lady and when they transfer her, you would hear them ask after her. Besides, you just may bump into one of your oooooollllddddd school mate. You'd want to impress na. So y'all better take these tips and put'em in your left hand so u don't eat'em up (go ask a yoruba guru about that, its a proverb).
Tips
Tip 1: Powder - Finding the right powder for you is key, and applying it right makes all the difference. Learn to shop for a powder that will match the color to your natural skin tone. You should actually select a color that is the exact shade of your skin so your face doesn't speak two different languages. Apply on your face and blend it carefully.
Tip 2: Eyeshadows - Please when applying eye shadows, do not use very bright colours at work. Remember you are not preparing for a night party and wouldn't want your shadows screaming - Hey! See me! I'm right here! Use earthy shades of eyeshadow, shades that blend properly with your skin.
Tip 3: Mascara/ Eyeliner - Your mascara and eyeliner best choice colour should be brown and black.
Tip 4: Lip Makeup - If you are wearing heavy eye makeup, you can keep lips nude to look natural and vice-versa but always avoid those tones like beige, taupe or earthy tones that look muddy in office lights. Please remember looking natural will enhance the beauty that is your own and it will help you get that goood business you are after.
