Back to Work Issue

The beauty products we use say a lot about us. And about our job. With a little color and a few brushes, one can express strength and delicacy, tradition and daring, confidence and indecision. Work may start at 9, but it's before that the course of the day is set. It all starts with a question: should I wear lipstick today?

I’m the boss

It's not very difficult to discover a CEO. To get to her office, just follow the trail of the most intense perfume in the building. With luminous skin and red lipstick, the beauty routine of a woman in management position is as powerful as the work she does on a daily basis. There's a lot hidden behind a good eye cream.

Corporate girlies

On social media, no one is tired of seeing the rise of the corporate girlies, who get ready to the sound of TikTok hits and unveil the best products for the office. The aesthetic is as follows: subtle colors, medium to high coverage formulas and, at its core, a flawless skin, kissed by the bronzer of someone who has no more vacation days left.

Arts and crafts

Make-up is an art, and the face is a canvas. Anyone who rules their day by creativity should extend this principle to beauty, opting for products with adaptable formulas, inspiring packaging, and lots of color. As any artist knows, next to a pencil, there's always an eraser. On the skin, it's with a cleansing foam that one can start again.

Ms. Worldwide

Goodbye office, hello world. The life of a freelancer is not defined by schedules or locations, which, however beneficial it may be, has its challenges. Time spent in front of the screen should be followed by moments of personal care, with anti-stress products. During work, opt for comfortable make-up that brings a touch of joy to the most monotonous days.

Let’s get physical

Manual labor requires a better care of the skin. Whether due to increased exposure to the sun or permanent contact with dust and other aggressive agents, it is advisable to invest in products with purifying and moisturizing properties, which give the skin what is stripped from it during the day. Cleanse, care, protect: in three steps the perfect routine is created.
