When it comes to make up, less is often more. That is during the day. Of course at night, statement eye make up or a bright lip colour are fine. But for during the day and particularly while at work, neutral make up is often more appropriate (depending on where you work of course) and always classy. This doesn't neccesarily mean skipping the eye shadow or lip stick - just go for more light, neutral colours. An 'I didn't realise you were wearing make up!' comment should never be taken as an insult either.
And remember when going out - if you have bright eye shadow, go for a more neutral lip colour. The reverse also applies.
