[MUSIC PLAYING] BOBBI BROWN: I'm gonna show you workplace makeup, what is appropriate depending on where you work, the kind of office you work, and how not to look like you've come from the disco. I should say the club. Yeah. Okay. And you don't look like you've just come from the club. [MUSIC PLAYING] Makeup for the office has to be appropriate for what office you go to. If you're someone that works in a law office, there's probably a look. If you are someone that works in a magazine or any kind of more creative office, there's probably a look. It's always good to kind of go with the crowd and know what to expect. So when somewhere in the middle, you want to make sure that you look polished. You don't want to look shiny. You do not want to come in wearing really strong makeup that possibly you would wear to a black tie. You just want to look polished, and you want to look comfortable, confident, and together. How do you do that? You make sure your skin looks good, whether it's tinted moisturizer or a foundation. Make sure you have the right one for your skin. Make sure you have your concealer on, and just add a little bit of polish. So this lesson is about how to add polish but still look fresh. So we're gonna start with under the eyes. We're gonna add some of the color that just makes you look less tired and absolutely brightens under your eyes. This is a peachy color that works great with her skin color. If you are fair, you might be choosing a color that is pinker in tone. If you are medium in skin color, you might use a yellow tone.

As a matter of fact, a tinted moisturizer or just spot correcting is good, and that will help even out your skin. And you want it to be quick. I don't know anyone that likes to spend tons of time on their makeup during the day. Really important that the foundation just goes into your skin because there's nothing worse than seeing people who are trying to look polished and put together and put a foundation on that's too pink. It doesn't look good. Or when you could see the line at the neck. You want to make sure that wherever you put it on it matches exactly. A little bit of spot correcting is also good. Again, you want it to be quick and easy. Now, what makes it really a work look and not just running around look is the polish. So your eyebrows you should definitely fill them in if you haven't. You can use a powder. I'm gonna do it really quickly with a little bit of a pencil. And this is a pencil that's cut to a really nice shape, so it's quick, it's easy. And the great thing is it's dual ended, so it helps you brush it up. Now for eyes. Again, you want it quick. You want it polished. So I grabbed an eye shadow that is a combination of a pencil and a shadow. It's actually a cream that turns into a powd...
