  i think it depends on how much ur job requires to meet ppl. i nv wore makeup during my attachment which requires me to face a computer the whole day but oso meet some ppl as well.
  
  after i went into the working world & still doing office job, i only wore concealor & lip moisturiser only. natural is the best...

  Hmmm.. it depends on the environment.
  Whether the other girls wore makeup. I mean you wouldn't want to look like the office tart. So light makeup is best... me thinks.
  Actually who has time to put on makeup for work. I'm usually running late.

  light makeup loh......
  
  liquid foundation last longer but dun cake your face with it....
  if u are uncomfortable, jus dab on loose powder...
  use pastel colours for eye.....lavender, light brown.....
  dainty pink for cheeks....but i know of some who can do w/o blush....
  lips wise....go for those long-lasting lipwear.....but dun too glossy.....i find it distracting when something with shiny lips tok to me.....(haha!)
  
  wat i have in my makeup pouch:
  
  clinique liquid foundation, loose powder
  stila eyeshadow
  christian dior eyeliner
  shiseido blusher
  red earth lip colors
  the body shop blotters

  HEhe lucky you. Unfortunately i drive.
  Plus the girls at work.. nobody ever wears makeup.. i feel overdone when i have Nars blush, plus multiple stick(that glimmer stick).
  
  I dont' have time to wait for moisturiser to dry before applying all this.
  Mac NC30 Studio Fix (sometimes)
  Nars Multiple Copacabana
  Nars Orgasm blush with Shu Uemura blush -> so expensive but such a good brush
  And Bloom Lip gloss sometimes switched with Juicy Tubes Fraise.

  Almost the same here juz dat Im plain lazy plus always rushing for time. Thus, I'll make do with Shiseido's Hydro-Liquid Compact (a little goes a long way), Stila's pressed powder for touch-ups, Blush with inuovi's brush & Stila's lip glaze or Mac's tinted lipglass. Oh.. & my brows! Ipsa's brow pencil needs no sharpening.
  LAZY.
