Video Calls Aren’t Going Anywhere: Easy Makeup Tips for that next Zoom Call

Easy Makeup Tips for that next Zoom Call

ZOOM CALL COMING UP? SAME HERE!

Even though things are slowly returning to normal, one thing that’s definitely here to stay is video calls — for everything! Whether it’s for a quick team meeting, a mid-week friend get-together, or a fun chat with your client, we know that feeling confident in your on-camera appearance is always a plus! Here are our top tips below for enhancing your best features.

And one thing to remember — any of these steps can be customized or swapped out to fit your routine!

TIP: SPOT-CONCEAL

The technique of spot-concealing is a quick and easy way to even out skin tone and highlight your best features without requiring a ton of time or energy. We love using our Perfect Cream Concealer (maximum coverage) or our Perfect Liquid Foundation (full coverage) for this.

  1. Using a minimal amount of product, dot on a small amount of product on areas that have a little redness or darkness (most commonly this is around the nose and around the undereyes) and blend with a very small brush or a beauty sponge.
  2. This next step is absolutely OPTIONAL, but it’s great if you’re facing an entire day of video conferences, try using a small amount of Powder Foundation to set the concealer. Taking a very light hand, gently tap on a small amount of powder on your T-zone using a makeup brush.

TIP: APPLY THE SAME COLOR TO YOUR CHEEKS & EYE

So this next step truly cuts down on the time to looking video-call ready. Using the same color of pigment on your cheeks and your eyelids actually helps tie the no-makeup-makeup look together. This is for anyone who’s looking to do the most, with the least amount of time.

  1. Using a contoured powder brush, apply the product of your choice (either a blush or bronzer) to your cheeks
  2. If you have larger or hooded eyelids, take a little more of the same color and apply to your lids. If you have smaller lids it’s probably best to use a smaller brush or even your finger for this step.

HAVE A LITTLE MORE TIME?

IF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA 5 MINUTES:

  • Curl your lashes and apply a swipe of mascara. We love our Lash Enhancing Mascara (featured in the image)
  • Quick Lip – Instead of using the lipstick in a swiping motion on the lips, gently pat onto the lips for a lightweight hint of color. This is our favorite time-saving tip for lipstick because it doesn’t require so much precision. We love a hydrating lip product for this such as our Moisture Balance Lipstick.
