Do you wear lipstick at work?

Posting here since it's not *really* a job-related question.

Do you wear lipstick at work? A noticeable color (and not something neutral)?

I used to when I was at a desk job, but now I'm an RN and on the hospital floor all day so no lipstick. I do carry Eos lip balm in my scrubs and use it regularly.

I don't but I don't wear lipstick at all. At my job it seems most older people wear lipstick and younger people do not

How do you wear make up w/o lipstick? Seems like lipstick pulls it all together, and without it the make up seems weird, IMO.

I do not, but I don't wear lipstick.

I know my mom became obsessed with lipstick as she got older, thought it brought her color out, so maybe at some point I will dive into lipstick.

As for the poster that says it brings it all together, that is interesting. I find it pulls away. My best feature is my eyes. Also, I fully admit to not understanding lipstick. Its seems to just come off on everything - too high maintenance for me. But maybe I am missing something (or thinking back to the 80s when is probably the last time I tried it).

I don't, but I usually don't wear makeup.

I'm the RN who posted. I wear tinted moisturizer, mascara, and lip balm so it doesn't look weird.

I don;t wear makeup, so lipstick would look weird.

I always did when I WOH. Now that I WAH--no. However, my lips are light for my olive coloring so it is one of my staples even if I'm bare-faced. I wear mascara and lipstick to the gym or when I go for a jog. Of course--when I'm bare-faced it's a different color than when I have a full face of make-up.

But--whenever I was in the Office or on the rare occassion I now have to go into the Office. YES. I look more polished.

I do, but haven't worn true lipstick in a long time. My go-to is Burt's Bees lip balm normally in raisin or fig. During the day if I'm at my desk I just use chapstick and then re-apply the color when I'm going to a meeting or to lunch.

People, swipe on some mascara and powder before you go to work. It doesn't matter how beautiful you are and how perfect your skin is. Would you go to work with a run in your tights or greasy, matted hair?

Bare faced=unpolished.

I wear tinted lipgloss to make my lips a more pink and even color. It is not shiny or sticky and very subtle. I think lipstick is aging. I rarely see women under 45 with lipstick.

For people who wear lipstick to work...what colors? Bold colors like red, pink, purple?

Well, luckily for me, I'm not a piece of silverware.

No. I wear a tinted lip balm. I don't wear makeup at all.
