For a CEO, makeup is important! I am not saying that a woman cannot look beautiful without makeup, I am only emphasizing the power of makeup. A woman can look confident and powerful when wearing makeup and that is a fact no one can deny. With makeup, you have the opportunity to enhance your natural features and look like a complete boss!

Beautiful people are typically treated better by others. In a study from Harvard University, researchers found that wearing makeup, it was shown to enhance a woman's attractiveness, boosted people’s perceptions of her competence, likability, attractiveness, and trustworthiness.

So it makes me wonder, if you don’t look good, do you have to work harder and “kiss up?” or should you just makeup?

Makeup and skin care prices can range from very cheap to very expensive. We don’t all have the luxury of paying $675 for a onetime skincare use like Nicole Bryl used to prep the First Lady, Melania Trump in preparation for the Presidential Inauguration Day. So shop wisely and find the middle of the road price range and more importantly, find the right skin care product that won’t clog your pores.

In my book Ms. Goal Digger, Success is Sexy! I talk about dressing like a CEO, but right now I’m going to mention some makeup must-haves, their importance and some other fun stuff.

Must-Haves

For a CEO, there are makeup must-haves. These products will allow you to look beautiful, confident and powerful.

- Foundation: A good medium coverage foundation is essential! You should invest in a good quality high-end foundation because that will help you achieve a flawless looking canvas. Remember that the end result is always amazing when the ‘foundation’ of it is great!

- Bold Lip Color: It’s not essential that you always wear a bold lip color every single day, but you should definitely opt for it whenever you want to make a lasting impression. A bold colored lipstick can make you look powerful and ready to conquer the world! There are plenty of them floating around in the makeup world, so grab something that suits your style! From a classic red to a bright pink; find your pick and stick with it.

- Eyebrows on Fleek: Eyebrows are very important! They shape your entire face and can make a huge difference. Having groomed eyebrows and using a good eyebrow product on them is essential for a CEO.

- Full-On Lashes: In order to look awake and ready to pounce at anything in your path, you need mascara. Invest in something that will really make your eyelashes look voluminous and full. Trust me; you will not regret this decision!

Makeup Routine

As a CEO, you will probably be super busy and won’t have a lot of time to do your makeup. This is why you need to have an everyday makeup routine. This means that you use the same makeup products everyday so that doing your makeup becomes easier and faster. Sticking with what you know will ensure that you always have a perfect makeup look!
