goodmorning from the homeoffice: a series
we all have a morning routine, whether it is snoozing and running out the door or waking up at 5 to answer e-mails, make a green smoothie and go for a run (seriously, who are those people?). we all take steps to make ourselves ready for the day. but since we don’t have to get out at the moment, why bother right?
here is why: motivation and productivity! yes, we know it is the main advice you see everywhere, but most people agree this really works. and we do too. getting ready in the morning and sticking to your ‘routine’ puts you in a certain mindset that is beneficial for your work focus.
of course, there will be days we’ll put on sweats and bring our laptop back into bed. but we are here to inspire you and keep you motivated.
we decided to gather a wide variety of beauty tips on this page, to make you feel, and here in particular: look ready in no time. we asked our favourite beauty brands to share their tips with us!
do it to boost your new worklife in your homeoffice. do it to make a good impression during that 9am skypecall. or do it whilst locking yourself in the bathroom, to avoid all the other stay-at-homers, just for a little longer… .

part II: kiss proof look by océane
océane from @labelchic_brussels went all out with a bold lip colour in this tutorial. we love it!
she included the following steps:
hydrate your lips.
nourish your skin: she used a skin enhancer, mixed with moisturizer as ‘foundation’.
go for a strong red as lipcolour
tip 1: use two layers, and blot your lips with a paper towel after every layer.
tip 2: apply a second similar, but different, lipcolour, for a more in depth finish.mascara: wipe off any excess product before applying.
go crazy and have fun!
