When walking into a meeting, after lunch, before a presentation, or making a new acquaintance, the last thing you want to worry about is not looking your best. In a society based on a go-go-go lifestyle, quick mirror checks can give you that extra boost of confidence before important moments in life. Here are some tips to help you look your best throughout the day.
Mid-day Mirror Check For many people, breaking for lunch often means running to a nearby restaurant for a quick bite before returning to the office. Take a moment to freshen-up prior to heading back to work, because you never know when you'll need to be at your very best.
-- Touch-up that makeup. Often in the course of the morning, makeup can
rub off or smear. Do a check in the mirror to reapply concealer or
mascara. Using a pre- and post-makeup primer will also help keep your
makeup from smearing.
-- Post-lunch check. Before you re-apply any lip product, freshen up your
mouth. On-the-go products such as the Colgate(R) Wisp(R)
mini-brushes are perfect for a quick brushing that will keep your
mouth clean and fresh, with no rinsing required. Plus they are small
enough to pack in a purse or keep in your desk drawer. Check out the
full line at www.ColgateWisp.com.
-- Apply fragrance. Perfume, cologne and body spray will often fade over
the course of the morning. Take an opportunity to re-apply in the
afternoon. Remember to be mindful of those with whom you share office
space. Opt for light scents and don't over-apply.
-- Style your 'do. Combing or brushing your locks can help re-set your
hairstyle. Products such as hairspray and dry shampoo can give your
style additional body and boost.
-- Drink your H20. The benefits of drinking water show in your mood and
in your skin. Staying hydrated will help prevent you from running low
on energy and will keep your skin looking fresh. Make sure you have a
water bottle at your desk and drink up!
