I want to start wearing make-up to work, any tips on applying quick that looks good?

I am a darker skinned African American woman. I am only 21, so I like to look as natural as possible. I have dark circles under my eyes, so I wear a full coverage concealer to cover up my dark circles. I wear tented lip gloss that compliments my skin tone (usually a gold, pink, lavender, nude, or a simple clear). Occasionally I might wear an eyeshadow that compliments my lip gloss. I wear the individual false lashes (they are so convenient because they are full and long, and you don't have to worry about your mascara running).





But that's about it: Concealer, Lip gloss, Lashes, and MAYBE eyeshadow (but just on the lids)








Go to a department or makeup store, and sit down with the makeup artist. ITS FREE! She'll try out some products on you, and you can pick some that you might wanna try.





You just need to find what works for you, but remember: The key to wearing makeup is to look like you're not wearing any at all!





Choose lighter more natural colors for the day time, like when you're at work or having lunch out. And bolder, darker colors for the night time, like when you're going out to dinner or to a club.

I use Bare Minerals because they're really easy to put on and they're quick. I normally use cover up, mineral vail (it just sets everything into place and makes it look polished), eye shadow, and some powder eyeliner. In that order. Then I follow that up with a little bit of lip stick, lip gloss, chapstick, or whatever lip thing I'm feeling like that day. It Takes me 4-7 minutes. Sometimes when I have extra time I'll apply just the slightest application of mascara.I want to start wearing make-up to work, any tips on applying quick that looks good?
By make up, what do you mean? Just foundation, or eyeshadow, blush, mascara? There are several tips depending on the type of make-up you want to try.

Start subtle, Do mascara, eyeliner and a light blush. If your feeling sassy throw on a little lipgloss too. It shouldn't take more than 5 mins
