Reply #11: When I had a job I wore makeup everyday

[curse10]

and when I go back to work in a few weeks I will again. It takes me 15 minutes to do it, and it's well spent. It's a science, really. And can be done quickly and correctly.

For me it's part of looking neat and professional. If someone has a bad haircut, doesn't dress professionally, and doesn't have a polished appearance it matters. Like it or not. And I don't think this applies only to women. Men are also expected to comb their hair, wear a tie, have unwrinkled clothing and not smell like ass.

Heck, women have been wearing makeup for thousands of years, it isn't a new institution. And what I find more irritating than a lack of makeup is what passes as "business attire" for women. Flowery sundresses are not business attire, ladies! If men have to wear suits, so should we.
