Several years ago, one corporation funded a study to find out the effect that makeup and grooming had on women at work. Research confirms that women who wear makeup and who dress well earn more money and advance faster than their colleagues who don't. But what constitutes dressing well?
Dressing well means proper attire, simple makeup that highlights the features and a pair of earrings that complements the face type! Yes, just a simple pair of earrings can pull an entire professional look together so well. In a study that was carried out, photographs and resumes were sent out to top personnel officers; in some of the photos women wore makeup and in some they did not. The officers were asked which of the women they would hire and how much would they pay, assuming the need for a professional with their qualifications. The results showed that not only were the candidates wearing makeup more likely to be offered jobs, but they were offered salaries between 20 and 25 percent higher than the un-made-up women. Makeup for professional women is as important as their outfit. The good news is that an appropriate makeup is one that is well blended and looks minimal.
Makeup When choosing your makeup, follow your natural coloring and select from the colors listed below. Some common sense applies when choosing shades for a particular outfit. A lipstick affects the look of your eyes. For example, when wearing red, wear the version of red that complements you, either a true, blue red (cool), or a yellow red (warm). If you are in the Deep category, wear red lipstick when you wear red, black or green. If your outfit has olive green, maroon, brown, peach, coral or any golden tones, avoid lipsticks in pink, rose or fuchsia, even if you do look good in those shades.
Women who wear too much makeup or too garish colors are considered to have as poor an image-or worse--than women who wear none. A natural, blended makeup is one that gives you a fresh look without calling undue attention to it. If you do not like to wear makeup or have never worn it, begin with blush and lipstick. Look at yourself before you apply lipstick and pay attention to your eyes. It is vital that you select a lipstick that is in harmony with your coloring (see list below). Now, apply your flattering lipstick and focus on your eyes again and see the effect it has on them; they will look brighter and sparkling.
Wearing blush and lipstick are essential to achieving a business makeup look. Therefore, be sure that the colors you choose complement your coloring. Have you ever seen a person with golden skin, golden green eyes and medium brown hair with gold highlights wearing fuchsia lipstick? Keep your makeup as simple as possible.
Earrings When you look at her all you focus on is the lipstick which, even if her clothes are professional and exquisitely put together, breaks the harmony of the total look. And as we all know, a pair of simple hoop earrings will be the perfect finishing touches!
