Interview: the main errors of a make-up which bring closer to a failure

So, your summary was selected from a huge number of applicants. And you are invited to an interview. It is already a victory. And still what! It was necessary not to spoil all the appearance and meykapy. What mistakes in a make-up should be avoided not to fail? Read further.


Mistake No. 1: Bright red lipstick.

Even if your interviewer carries such lipstick, so far it is undesirable to you to do it. Red color (as well as any other very bright colors: electricians, neon) it can be interpreted incorrectly. As a rule, it is a symbol of a glamour and sexuality that for work is obviously the aggravating circumstance (if, of course, your future work is not connected with sex and a glamour).

You need to try to show the talents and professional abilities on an interview, but not to fascinate the interlocutor. If the vis-a-vis – the man and even if he will give to you couple of compliments, then his professional opinion will not coincide with personal sympathy subsequently.


Conclusion: exclude red, orange, bright pink (fuchsia) shades of lipstick from the make-up. Also make the choice towards pink lipstick of a natural shade.

Mistake No. 2: Smokey

Now there are many various smoky eyes options, including "day Smokey". However most of recruiters (according to the website about career of careerbuilder.com) after all do not advise to do this make-up for an interview.

The usual stereotype works: By Smokey in any kind are perceived as the invitation to an appointment, but not as a detail of a business image. Smokey also mean some carelessness and sensuality that in a working situation looks not too organically.


If you gather for an interview, such will be an ideal make-up for eyes: eyeliner of a neutral shade (brown or gray-black) plus waterproof ink. It is possible to put a few cream shadows of a beige shade on an eyelid.

Mistake No. 3: It is too much highlighter

Especially it concerns markers with a strong luminescence and luster. A large amount of gloss on a face will distract from an image.


Decision: opaque products are most relevant to an interview. You can also refuse a highlighter at all, it is enough apply the good day serum giving skin natural shine to skin.

Mistake No. 4: It is too much bronzer

Better on an interview in general to refuse a konturing. Especially as in the afternoon it seldom looks naturally. The Konturing is a reception for creation of a sexual and evening make-up. For a business meeting such image is inappropriate.

If you use bronzer for creation of effect of easy suntan, then it is possible, you also should refuse this reception. Recruiters do not love too "a well rested type" of applicants.


Exit: use bronzer for creation of a natural flush on a face. For this purpose take an opaque product without spangles closer to peach color (not orange!).

Mistake No. 5: Uneven tone

Mistakes in drawing tone means – some of the most visible. If foundation looks as a patch if the neck differs from the face if means unevenly lies or reveals peeling – all this will work as "big fat minus" in your assessment.


The method of a damp sponge will help to prevent any failures with tone: moisten a sponge and carefully distribute foundation on the person, doing not pass nasolabial folds, a chin and a neck.

Mistake No. 6: The cracked lips

Fear of bright lipstick leads to the fact that you can not pay attention to lips at all. But even if you do not want to add to lips of color – balm is necessary. You should communicate much, at the same time nervousness dehydrates lips – and even the good skin on lips can begin to dry and be shelled.


The preliminary sugar peeling (for the night before an interview) and good lip balm will help.

Mistake No. 7: Lack of a make-up.

Recruiters do not love very bright meykap, but also its total absence is unacceptable. The modern dress code assumes availability of decorative cosmetics, even the trainee is not able to afford the "naked" person.


Even if you the supporter of a natural image, then it does not mean full refusal of cosmetics. You should correct heat-spots and specks a concealer, to remove dark circles under eyes, to illuminate eyes and to paint eyelashes. And to finish a make-up an easy flush and ottenochny lip balm.

Do not assume that the employer began to doubt your professional abilities only because you incorrect picked up a make-up. Good luck on an interview!
