:: Meet the Chicks: Career Girl ::

Make-up helps me accent my positive features which helps me feel confident both in and out of the office. Feeling confident that I look my best allows me to concentrate on being my best, most competent leader in the workplace.

And, as a single career girl I want to look my best. You never know…you might meet Mr. Right at happy hour after work…or meet your next employer.

I usually wear foundation and light powder to make my skin look smooth. I use neutral tones of eye shadow usually colors in the brown, toast and shell families. Mascara is a must for my small eyes as is blush in the winter. I also wear lipstick, every day, mostly in the brownish red family. Recently I’ve started using Chanel brow shaper which gives my eye area that finished, polished look.

COLORS:
I’m a winter so, my favorite colors to wear are black, white, charcoal, gray, pink, and red. Almost any other colors makes me look like I have the flu!

LIKES:
I like feeling pulled together in terms of clothes and make-up that can easily transition from work to play. I also love those rare nights home when I can get organized…if my make-up brushes are clean, I know I am feeling pretty organized!

DISLIKES:
I don’t like woman who judge other’s appearances. Most people try to be their best and deserve encouragement.

FAVORITE PEOPLE:
Tom Friedman (he is smart!) He’s thinking about the long-term health of the country
Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He’s runs New York City with the saavy of a very successful businessman combined with the compassion of a religious leader…a very rare combination
Andre Agassi. His personal dedication to achieving his goals is an inspiration to people of all ages.

COSMETICS:
Right now, I can’t live without the Bobbi Brown Shadow Basics Palette. The neutral eye shadows come in a small compact. I also love their foundation stick and liquid foundation. Both are easy to apply. My favorite lip color is Bobbi Brown’s Rum Raisin combined with a glossing finish!
