1. Forget Edgy Trends when You’re Doing Interview Makeup
/filters:quality(70)/content/xi/mg/dern8p2r57d0780ed3a65383561790_600x601.jpg)
Edgy trends in makeup are fun, creative and a great way to express yourself. But they aren’t the best choice for interview makeup. They don’t look professional or mature. Edgy trends in makeup are often followed by younger women and that’s the impression it’ll give to your employer. Choose to go for more of a basic makeup look for your interview.
To look a bit more mature in a job interview, you can try defining your eyebrows, use a soft matte foundation, and opt for classic colors like taupe or brown for eyeshadow. Add a little mascara and a nude lip color. Keep it subtle but polished!
Honestly, it's not about piling on more makeup. It's about choosing the right products. Focus on enhancing your features with clean lines and defined shading. A bit of bronzer for contouring, well-shaped brows, and a classic lip color could do wonders.
Not at all! The key is to look neat and well-put-together. A little concealer, light foundation, and a touch of blush can give you a natural yet polished look. Less is definitely more when it comes to professional settings.
Looking a bit more mature can sometimes help in being taken seriously and conveying confidence. But remember, looking mature doesn't mean looking older; it's more about presenting yourself in a composed, professional way.
Yes, it can! Makeup can enhance your features and help project the image you want. It’s about feeling confident and ready to tackle any question they throw at you. Go for a look that makes you feel like the best version of yourself!
2. Only Wear What You Need

More makeup won’t make you look mature. In fact, if you’re in your teens or early 20s, piling on what you don’t need in the way of foundation, concealer and powder can make you look like you’re trying too hard to look grown up. Many times, you don’t need full foundation coverage if you’re young. If you’re blessed with good skin, let it show through. Your prospective employer won’t be thinking how young you look; they’ll be admiring your beautiful skin.

3. Fill in Your Brows
/filters:quality(70)/content/u2/h4/rdmvj2mq57d0771b9e7de403952467_600x749.jpg)
A full brow is the look of a mature woman. It’s a bold look that women who feel confident in who they are have begun to embrace. If you aren’t ready for a completely full brow then consider just filling yours in a bit. It’s not difficult and you may find you love it so much that you want to continue it in your everyday makeup. One tip to follow, though. Practice it before your interview day so that you’re comfortable in this makeup skill.

Filling in your brows is a great way to add a mature look to your makeup routine. You can do this with a variety of products, such as eyebrow pencils, gels, and powders. To ensure you get the look just right, it is important to practice before your interview. Start by brushing your brows up and out, and then use the pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas. Make sure to blend the product well to avoid harsh lines. Another tip is to use a lighter shade than your natural color to give a more natural look. With a few practice sessions, you will be able to master the art of filling in your brows and look polished and mature for your job interview.

4. Choose Neutral Colors for Your Eyeshadow

I love the look of smoky eyes or eye makeup that’s bold and eye catching. Those are perfect looks for going out on the weekends but not for your interview. Stick with neutral eyeshadow colors such as cream, taupe, tan, brown or even light gray. Those are good colors that won’t stand out as too trendy, experimental or youthful. Neutral eyeshadow colors give a mature impression.

5. Stick with Basic Black for Your Eyeliner and Mascara

You also don’t want to wear a purple eyeliner or mascara during your interview. Stick with basic black. It can be a little dull if you’re used to wearing more colorful choices, but it’ll serve you well in this circumstance. Charcoal and brown are also acceptable for eyeliner, as is brown/black for mascara. Basically, you want to stay away from anything vibrant in your eye makeup for your interview.

6. Trade Your Gloss in for Lipstick
/filters:quality(70)/content/jw/fw/ndmw658357d0789600801748542296_600x600.jpg)
Lip gloss is a product favored by younger women. While it’s very pretty, it doesn’t scream maturity. Trade your lip gloss in for a lipstick for your interview. Lipstick gives an older appearance but is still very appropriate for older teens and women in their twenties on up. It’s fine to add a bit of lip gloss on top of your lipstick for the shine factor if that makes you more comfortable.

7. Stay Away from Bright Lipstick Shades
/filters:quality(70)/content/r9/fr/jjwipry457d0786ba45ac811389508_600x600.jpg)
Lipstick is a makeup that says maturity but not if it’s a shockingly bright pink or purple. Those are great looks for other times but not for an interview. Choose to go with a lip color that’s understated. One that’s close to your actual lip color will work well. Nude lipsticks are also acceptable and are very stylish right now.
These are 7 tips to look mature in your makeup choices for your interview. Which of these tips are helpful to you? I’d love to hear from you!

Shilan92: *much
Shilan92: My make-up is always neutral and natural but I still look younger than I am, I thought maybe it’s because I don’t wear that mucj make-up
Wendy: The only needed makeup tip is wonderful beautiful skin doesn't require much
Shilan92: Same! People always think I’m 16 while I’m 26
Isabella: Sometimes I get compliments on my skin - I may always look young but I'm in my 20s now, and plus I hate wearing foundation so more often I only do eye make up
Playgroundgirl: Will be sure to use this in the future!
Jackie: Make sure you use a make up primer so your make up isn't coming off halfway thru a stressful interview. Then apply a lil foundation, concealor, blush(to look alert) mascara. Eyeliner is optional. Add some light lipstick and powder& your confidence level will soar better! Same with your hair, keep it neat, stylish but simple.
Jameelyn: Many people said that I look really young like 16! I already graduated from college.. I dont know if it's compliment or what lol
