I was able to pick and choose in previous roles in my current organisation, and lots of days were makeup free. But then, I was also able to do “casual Friday” back then, even in the office (pre and post-Covid).
in my current role, I need to be reasonably suited and booted on a daily basis, and that includes makeup realistically for me. I have it at a 90 second routine - foundation, blush, 2 eyeshadows, blend, lipstick. Done. I found having the right brushes really helped - I have a blusher one, an eyeshadow brush (basic flat one) for the base coat, an angled line one for the contrast colour over the edges, and a blending one to merge the 2 colours nicely, and a lipstick brush as that helps it stay better. I have a foundation brush too but often still use fingers for that.
If I am going out to an event or having a social night out, it takes longer, involves different colours and also mascara, sometimes eyeliner, sometimes more elaborate eyes etc.
I found getting the foundation colour matching your skin well really helped (I had a decent shade but when replacing it a while ago, the lady had time to check a few neat colours and found an even better match).
And also getting blush with a blue undertone (I am a cool winter) rather than a peach undertone also made a huge difference.
For my eyes, I now go to MAC and have their changeable palette - so 2 base colours (1 everyday, the other a little deeper for more dramatic looks), an everyday and a 2nd colour corner contrast either a Matt finish, and 2 much deeper shades of the normal corner colours with shine for drama times (so I can build up a browns/maroon look or a greens look).
