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

Bare faced=unpolished.



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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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