[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.

And unless you are below the age of 25--none of you can get away with it.  You really can't.[/quote]

Depends what you mean by "getting away with it." Let's see -- I am very highly regarded with the highest ratings come evaluation time, have good relationships with  my boss and peers. I wear no makeup at all on a normal day, and I am 33. I wear mascara and lipstick only if I go to court, which is only a couple times a year; the rest of the time, just chapstick. No one cares. Or if they do, it hasn't impacted my work, and therefore I don't care. Will I wear makeup when I'm 45? Maybe. But I'm not there yet. Honestly, when I see someone my age wearing a ton of makeup, I am inclined to think they care more about their appearance than their job performance. Reverse makeup discrimination, I guess.

However, no, I would not go to work with a run in my stockings or with greasy hair. I also wouldn't wear the sort of cleavage- or shoulder-baring ensembles I have seen other women wear, because I would be uncomfortable. We each have our own standards, and if they work for you, great; but don't assume everyone else feels the same way.[/quote]
