We all know that interviews can be nerve-wracking, and unfortunately for women, dressing for them is a lot less straightforward than for men. Women’s interview wardrobes depend on the job they are applying for, whereas men’s wardrobes usually consist of a collared shirt, tie, and pre-interview haircut. However, one thing women can depend upon is that throughout all job opportunities, makeup expectancies typically remain the same!
For an interview, it is important to be “au naturale.” While you want to look good, it’s not best to dress up like you would for a night on the town with your lady friends.
Here are some tips to remember:
Use natural colors: Try to keep to basic natural colors starting with your concealer, so stay away from heavy bronzers and glittery powders. Great products to check out are Covergirl TRUblend collection and Maybelline Natural Skin Touch Matching.
It is okay to use mascara and light eyeliner: Don’t use colored or glittered eyeliners. Basic shades of black and brown will make your eyes pop without being too flashy. Maybelline’s Mastre Precise Studio will do just the trick. Make sure to outline your eyes lightly for a sophisticated look, too much will appear trashy.
Add a hint of lip color: Similar to concealers, stick to a natural or glossy lip color that won’t be too bold. It doesn’t matter how “in” bright oranges and reds are, you want to make sure that you leave a great impression. Choose a natural pink or nude color that goes well with your skin tone and the color of your blouse or blazer.
Be presentable and professional: The right amount of makeup will make you feel even more confident on your big day!
