Work – it is easier to achieve than you think. So the next time you have a day full of virtual meetings, these simple tips will help you get noticed with very little effort or time.
Makeup for working from home
When you work from home, full makeup and the time to get the look doesn’t sound too enticing. However, you still want to look and feel good with the best makeup for zoom meetings, right?
Check out some of our favorite makeup and lighting tips to look perfect for video calls and whatever your work-from-home day may bring: school drop-off/pick-up, errands, you name it!
Tip 1: Keep it real…But hide it
If you’re ditching that all-glossy, full-face makeup look for a laid-back look for home, we’re feeling the same vibe. But if you have blemishes or dark circles that you want to deal with, get the concealer! Touching up just those pesky areas will still do wonders for your overall look without looking overdone.
Tip 2: Highlight these features
When your face appears for virtual job calls, your features shine and highlight
always a good idea. To achieve this look, highlight areas of your face such as:
- the bridge of your nose
- center of your chin
- jaw
- bow of love
- cheekbones
- center of your eyelids
Once you’ve applied your highlighter to the desired areas, it’s time for blush. Add color to your cheekbones with a shade that complements your skin tone. This can really transform your look for video calls!

Tip 4: Define and Line
In previous posts we’ve talked about plain lip color and gloss, but one thing we suggest you consider is lining your lips. No, we’re not talking about a harsh 90s lip line 🙅♀️ but more of a bare lip line that will add enough definition to your pout. Once you’ve defined those lips, top them off with a nourishing lip balm or gloss for some on-camera shine.

How to look good on camera
Now that you see how simple makeup for working from home can be, let’s talk about lighting! Sitting in a dark space will make you look listless (no thanks!). Here are some ways to improve your appearance for zoom meetings:
- Well lit room: If your office or home workspace has no windows or is just a dark space, reconsider where you work. If you have the option to move around during video calls to give yourself more flattering lighting, we say go for it!
- Sit near natural light: Sitting in a virtual call space that’s full of natural light is the ultimate way to look good on camera.☀️ It also gives you more of a glow than bright lighting or lamps.
- Ring Light: When you don’t have a workspace that is well lit or with natural light, we highly recommend purchasing a ring light. Common for those who work from home, they ring the lights in various price ranges. Another thing that’s great about a ring light: The setting options allow you to choose the best lighting for your space and skin tone. Once you find a look that works for you, you’ll be set and ready
