Not only do you need to dress the part when you’re hopping on a video conference call service like Zoom, you also need to think about your beauty look. Even when you’re working from home, your boss doesn’t want you signing in looking like you just rolled out of bed. So you need to put in some effort. Once again we looked to the recent runways for a little inspiration. While you may think runway makeup is a bit too extreme for work, that’s not entirely true. There actually are no-makeup makeup looks and subtler highlights that’ll work pretty much anywhere. Same goes for hairdos. Many of us aren’t exactly making washing our hair and putting on makeup a priority these days. Let’s face it: there are more important things to focus on. So we made sure to pick makeup looks and hairstyles that are relatively easy to do using products you already have in your beauty kit. And several ‘dos are designed for second- or third-day hair. Ready to pick your next Zoom beauty look? Scroll through the slideshow above for enough inspo to see you through the next few weeks. You’ll probably even want to wear them to the office once things start going back to normal.Video Conference Call Beauty
