Putting your best foot forward is the best thing to do each and every day. But does your appearance effect how you will perform on a job? For the most part it can. Does the amount of makeup you wear effect your workplace? A lot of students have jobs in the retail industry that sometimes allow them to wear uniforms or basic everyday apparel including makeup. The media has made it seem that you must look your best at all times no matter what you doing! However, some jobs require employees to wear makeup.

Here is a
piece of an article written by Allure magazine about makeup and the work place:
"That's just what happened to 24-year-old Brit Melanie Stark who, as The Guardian reported, says she was forced to quit her job at Harrods in London over her refusal to wear makeup. Stark, you see, preferred to go au natural on her face, instead of adhering to the retailer's dress code, which called for: "Full makeup at all time: base, blusher, full eyes (not too heavy), lipstick, lip liner and gloss are worn at all time and maintained discreetly (please take into account the store display lighting which has a 'washing out' effect)." After working for the store for five years (and during that time, being sent home twice and banished to a stock room another time for the no-makeup thing, she says), Stark quit last week rather than comply with the code".
Many celebrities
have been seen without makeup. The Today Show hosts Kathie Lee Gifford
and Hoda Kotb created a segment without wearing any makeup. In today’s society, celebrities are always
wearing makeup to keep with a certain image and fan base. But for the everyday women it’s the same
case. Women are balancing many different things such as: Working, taking care of
children, and their household. Now
makeup has been added to their do list in order to keep a job.
On the other
hand, wearing makeup cannot make or break you when it comes to getting a job. But
it doesn’t determine whether you receive the job or not.
Here is a
piece of article written by Magic
Valley.Com about makeup and workplace interactions:
“Jessica
Richmond, an employment recruiter for Intelligent Employment Solutions in Twin
Falls, says she has seen poorly applied makeup damage the outcome of a job
interview. Of course, no matter how good a job applicant looks, an interview
can still be upended by the sounds that come out of a well-cared-for face.
Makeup may help give off a first impression, but the majority of the success of
an interview rests on the applicants, Richmond said”.

The media is always finding ways
for women to wear makeup. No matter where you go or what you do the media is going
to be a part of it. Is the workplace is becoming a place of beauty and fashion?
