Following on from a recent post all about my 'WorkAppropriateMakeup' picks for my new job I decided to post about how I have been changing up my look for each day as I get more relaxed and confident in my new role and new work place.
A lot of my go to products picks for work outlined in my original post haven't changed but I have been making efforts to mix up my base, lip colour and eyeshadow picks each day!
In the first few weeks at my new job I stuck to mainly nudes and neautral shades for my makeup each day so now that I am feeling a little more confident I feel good about incorporating some more colour!

Some Things Never Change LOL :
I am still reaching for a lot of my original product picks regularly when doing my makeup for work e.g 'Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation', 'Australis Tint My Brow', 'MAC Prep & Prime Concealer' & 'Benefit Roller Lash Mascara' being among those I rely on for work appropriate makeup!
Ace The Base :
Chi Chi Cosmetics Super BB Cream in shade medium - : I reach for a BB cream when I am in a hurry or have a super early start and need a super quick not too much fuss base for my makeup of the day! I find this product provides me with minimum coverage and is easy set in place with one of my chosen powders or a translucent powder! quick and easy for those 8am starts I am still not used too!

| Ace The Base Change-up |
Face Of Australia, Face Base Primer - : after seeing this product pop up quite a bit on Instagram and other blog posts and learning that is has similar ingredients to the coveted 'Napoleon Autopilot Primer' I decided to give this product a go! I am impressed by the formula and how it helps to smooth my skin in preparation for application of makeup for the day and keeps my base in place throughout a work day!
Maybelline Matte Maker Pressed Powder in shade , MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in shade medium - : I am still often reaching for my 'Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation' for oily / combination skin in shade medium beige and setting with either Matte Maker or MAC Mineralize skin finish for a more full coverage / matte finish however, If I am in a rush it is a great comfort to know that I am able to wear either of these powder products on their own for a nice even coverage for a work day!
E.L.F Cosemtics Tools Shine Eraser Blotting Papers - : This little package has become a staple in my work makeup touch up kit as of late because my skin has been even more oily than normal! for only $3 they are the most affordable blotting papers I have come across!
A Little Bit Of Blush :
My product picks in this department have not changed for a long time now, It's good to have this small yet important part of my morning makeup routine sorted, I always reach for my 'Essence Sun Club Matte Bronzer' & 'Essence Silky Touch Blush in Adorable' as they are both such a soft natural looking colour and I find them both easy to apply without overdoing it!
'MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Soft & Gentle' remains a firm fave when it comes to highlight for me. I am so so glad every day that I invested in this beauty product and every time I wear it I can not help but feel so beautiful!
Having Some Fun With My Lip Options :
Boe Beauty Matte Lip Cream in Nude & Blush Pink - : These cute little semi matte finish lip products from a much beloved affordable brand Boe Beauty live in y handbag makeup kit for those days when I am so busy I forget to choose a lip colour before rushing out the door. I always know I have these little cuties on hand for no fuss application in the rear view mirror of my car before taking off! lol
Australis Velour Lips in shades : Lun-Dun & Pa-Ree - : My love for this whole collection of lip products is well documented on this blog and all my social media the velour lips range is a great choice for me for long lasting high colour lips for the day!
Rimmel Provocalips shades : *I'll Call You, *Dare To Pink, *Make Your Move, *Skinny Dipping & *Little Minx - : My love for the Provocalips collection (You can read more about this stunning collection here.) has been reignited since starting my new job I need to keep a smile on my face when working on the sales floor and meeting and greeting new people each day so if I know I have a full 8 or 9 hour day ahead of me the fabulous bright colours that last all day from Rimmel are what I reach for!
MAC Cosmetics Ruby Woo & Cremecup - : As I have become more relaxed in my new role and the people I work with I feel more comfortable busting out a bright red lip for a work day and the only choice for me of course is MAC ruby woo!
Eyeshadow :
My eyeshadow options remain mostly the same since my last post I still generally reach for my fabulous ingot palette and its familiar muted matte brown shades and my much beloved 'Models Prefer' Nudes Palette. I have however incorporated yet another palette into the mix of late my 'Models Prefer Day To Night Palette' stay tuned for a little more info on both palettes soon on the blog!
