Added: 02/10/2006

Let's face it: a woman doesn't apply the same kind of makeup and create the same kind of "look" during the workweek that she applies on a Friday or Saturday evening when she is going out to a nightclub in search of a man. Office makeups are a special type of the makeup art that is applied on working days and should not be too bright. The makeup should complement the clothes, hair color, complexion, accessories and follow the office dresscodes. In the image of the modern business lady, the makeup plays an important role.

Make-up is considered to be an art that aims to point out the individual beauty of a woman's face, and the real professionalism leaves the work unnoticed. The fashion of making-up appeared far in the extreme antiquity. Even women from Ancient China and Egypt, as well as Greek and Roman women, were skilful in doing perfect make-up.

About 4 thousand years ago, Egyptian women applied special oils for face skin, lotions, eye shadows and lipsticks. In the 16th and 17th centuries the fashion for make-up required excessive colors which were applied both by women and men. Later in the 20th century the make-up fashion has been restored to life and now this art is applied by millions of women worldwide.

It will be reasonable to do makeups in the same light, because the natural light may point out all the defects of the makeup. If the working day finishes with a party, it will be easy to do the makeup less formal with applying luster lipstick over the old layer.
