I believe we make our own luck in life. Someone once defined luck as what happens when opportunity meets preparation. You never know when a great job lead or after-work party invitation might arrive, so be ready to get lucky by stashing a little makeup bag in your desk.
Your office beauty supplies should include:
• blotting papers
• a bottle of foundation and a small-tipped concealer brush
• blush and a blush brush
• dark eyeliner and a cotton swab
• a midtone or contour eye shadow and an eye shadow brush
• a highlighter powder and an eye shadow brush to apply it
• day and evening shades of lipstick or gloss
• a powder compact
• your favorite perfume

When the whistle blows, you can go from polished professional to nightlife lovely in seconds with just a few adjustments to your day face. Here’s how:
Step 1: First, use the blotting papers to eliminate any accumulated shine.
Step 2: Next, dip your small-tipped concealer brush into a little foundation and touch up any trouble spots on your skin. (You don’t want to blend on a whole new face of foundation, because it will just look heavy and masklike.)
Step 3: Dust on a little face powder.
Step 4: Play up your eyes by smudging dark eyeliner along the lash line. This gives you a thicker – looking lash line without adding a clumpy load of extra mascara.
Step 5: Sweep on your evening eye shadow and place highlighting powder on the brow bone, the inside corners of the eyes, and your decolletage.
Step 6: Swirl on a little more blush.
Step 7: Add on your evening shade of lip color.
Step 8: Spritz on a sexy scent, and you’re ready to knock ’em dead!
