    What if I have to wear a blazer and only light make-up?
    Community Answer
    Try rolling up the cuffs or pushing them up your arms, or if you prefer, pull them longer for a more feminine look. For light makeup, you could check YouTube for tutorials, or just go really heavy on the mascara and cover up blemishes with concealer. Blush is also classified as light, but I would stick with a less glittery one. Try switching up your earrings or roll up the cuffs of your pants. Wear a hair tie on your wrist, or try an understated chain around your neck or simple bracelets.
