Whether you keep in touch via Zoom or Teams during this teleworking period, videoconference meetings are plentiful. Here are three make-up mistakes not to make to be on top!
The new daily realities greatly impact our beauty treatment: we use less lipstick due to the wearing of the mask, our usual foundation does not always resist the friction of the accessory on the face or does not necessarily manage to camouflage the mascne … In short, we had to review our reflexes in terms of makeup, even to work from home because now, the only image our colleagues have of us is the one that stands out through the lens of the camera integrated into our computer. And important thing to know: his digital eye is not forgiving because even though he has a tendency to blur the skin texture, he also has the annoying habit of amplifying the features and small flaws in makeup. A real problem when the only area visible to you is your face!
But don't panic, here are the three make-up mistakes you should not make when having video conference calls to make sure you are on top of your next meeting.
Zap the concealer
While it is true that by staying at home, we generally tend to prepare a little less, and for some people a little less to put on make-up than when we go to spend a day at our place of work, it It is still important to correct the signs of fatigue that cloud the mine before a videoconference call. This will make you look more awake (especially for the first meetings in the morning) and therefore give you a more professional appearance. To do this, you just need to stop skipping the application of your concealer! This makeup product is second to none for naturally camouflaging colored circles that emphasize your fatigue and reduce the appearance of your bags under the eyes. With a few touches of makeup, your face will light up dramatically and you will look much fitter and able to carry out your missions.
Keep in mind that staring at your computer screen will tire them out of the blue light, and the gaze area pays a heavy price. Waking up your eyes with a little touch of concealer is an effective, fast solution that clearly makes the difference in videoconferencing.

Put on too much makeup or, on the contrary, not enough
When it comes to makeup, it's all about measurement and dosage. An excess of foundation and the mask effect is guaranteed, an excess of powder and you will have a complexion cakey, not enough mascara and it won't even show, not to mention the blush which needs to be a little more intense than usual to make you look good but not too much at the risk of looking like a clown after the meeting is over.
Video meeting or not, the dose of makeup applied is certainly the key to a successful beauty treatment in any case, but these make-up missteps are even less forgiving in front of the camera.
To find the right balance, keep in mind that your computer camera offers a blurring effect that is rather flattering for the skin texture because it reduces the appearance of small imperfections (pimples and other surface irregularities) but tends to intensify the contrasts (darker shades of contouring, color difference between concealer and foundation or even between some intense redness and the rest of the skin). It is therefore still necessary to put enough to make them disappear. The goal is to avoid a plastered complexion or unnatural mask effect, while successfully concealing the imperfections that bother us and ruin our self-confidence.
The ideal is therefore to opt for a CC cream or a light foundation that can even out the complexion without overloading it.

Neglect the lipstick
If you've stored your favorite lipstick shades in the closet because of the mask, bring them out without further ado for your video calls! Putting a little color on your lips is an unstoppable trick for giving you a healthy glow without wearing too much makeup and making you look well-prepared in just a wipe of the mouth. Luminous red, soft pink or fuchsia, orangey red … A hint of lively shade on the lips and voila. We just advise you to keep your hand light for a rendering that is not too intense as the camera accentuates the result a little. And if you don't like very colored lips, just apply a touch of red to the heart of the lips before tapping the material with your fingertips to blend it and give the most charming bitten lip finish.
Even if you are a fan of matte lipsticks, we invite you to wear satin red which will look more natural on camera.

The additional mistake that can ruin everything: forgetting to sprinkle again during the day
Once you have taken these good reflexes, it is still necessary to think about how the makeup evolves during the day. While you won't face the elements by staying at home, the skin still produces sebum and therefore tends to glow over the hours. This is particularly important in video because you can quickly risk the mirror ball effect, especially if you have combination or oily skin. To this, two very simple solutions: powder your nose before your afternoon meeting (always sparingly) so that the powder absorbs excess sebum from the skin and gives it a nice velvety appearance, or use mattifying papers to wipe off excess fat from the skin and regain your naturally radiant complexion without the unsightly shine.
Last tip, don't forget to check your appearance in front of the camera before initiating the video conference call so that you can clearly see the result under the light of the screen. We cannot repeat it enough, the light in which you show yourself can radically transform your make-up.
