Professional Eye Makeup

While you can wear a natural style of eye makeup for work, many women like to define the eye a bit more. You can acheive a polished, professional eye makeup style by using neutral eye shadow and liner shades and a regular mascara formula (skip the heavy or dramatic formulas for work). Matte shadow and liner is best for a professional look; shimmer or metallic formulas can look too playful. Perform these steps for a basic professional eye:
Apply a base eye shadow in a shade close to your skin tone.
Add a medium neutral color to your crease and create a slight "v" at the outer corner of the eye to define it.
Sweep a highlight shade just under the browbone and at the inner corner of the eyes.
Use a blending brush to blend the eye shadow well.
Apply a neutral liquid eyeliner on the top lid only, making a clean line that is slightly thicker at the outer corner but does not extend too far past the eye.
Curl lashes and apply two coats of mascara.
