Makeup, it makes you more grown-up and professional, right? If it is needed to be taken seriously for a job interview or an event, or even a first date, then it’s not optional to wear it. A woman, dressed up in a dress or skirt, with her makeup done and hair nice, will get more noticed by interviewers than someone who came in with jeans and a nice shirt.
The fact that you might be overqualified for a job, but get overlooked because someone came in a skirt and makeup, makes it unfair. It’s hard enough to find a job without being judged by your looks. Professionalism and work ethic shouldn’t be judged by what the person wears. I can understand how you present yourself is important, but if they can do the job just as well or better than the other person, it shouldn’t be hard to choose who to hire.
I’ve had times when I’ve applied for a housekeeper role. I have three years of experience and am much older than some who have applied. I did not get hired or even considered because of what I wore. The world needs to think about what we have to offer in our work ethic before looking and judging by what they look like.
Then there is dating, which is hard enough for everyone to do, and what makes it wrong is that we are judged based on what we look like, wearing, and the picture we post if we are doing online dating. If a woman shows off herself with a silly face, no makeup, and maybe a pet, then they are not going to get any messages. If a woman has makeup, a dress, and no children makes them much more likely to get a message.
The world cares too much about outward appearance, and it hurts the people who can’t afford better clothes or makeup. Personality should be what people look for, not their looks. Work ethic should be what they look for, not their interview outfit. Take time to learn about them, and that may change how you see them.
