The Call of the Office Siren: Makeup and Fashion for an Alluring Corporate Look
In Greek mythology, a sirens melodic tune was said to lure sailors to their death. But let’s get one thing straight, this ain’t your Little Mermaid.
Unlike Ariel's bright and cheerful vibe, the Office Siren is dark and lustrous. Imagine sexy librarian chic—like The Devil Wears Prada with the allure of a siren.
Everything she has is basic, but nothing she does is basic. It’s the perfect feminine archetype to emulate this fall, so here’s your Office Siren Starter Pack.
The Face
The Office Siren makeup is a ‘90s inspired flawless beat that is put-together, sexy, and sleek. The main focus of her makeup is always a bold lip. Something dark and sultry, preferably red.
MAC Nightmoth for the lip liner and Sephora Collection’s Matte Lip stain in the shade Always Red is a perfect combination. Paris Castellanos on Tiktok has the perfect tutorial.
The Hair & Nails
Two hair styles come to mind when we are talking Office Siren—side part bombshell curls or a slicked back bun. That's it.
To add to that dark academia look, Chanel nail polish in the shade Vamp is ideal. This shade took the ‘90s by storm. If you’re not interested in paying the $32, you can get Essie’s nail polish in the shade Wicked.
The Outfit
Bring out all of your fall basics, you’ll need them.
Start with a chunky sweater or a thin cardigan; we recommend an off-the-shoulder sweater. For your bottoms, a wool skirt inspired by Miu Miu is perfection.
Top it off with sheer knee-high socks and kitten heels. Don’t forget your Bayonetta Glasses, and no they don’t need to be prescription—it's for the look.
The Office Siren look should have the office boys in a trance in no time.
