So, I interviewed a lovely candidate today for a senior position in our company. She was qualified, well dressed, interviewed well... basically, I'm gonna recommend that she gets hired. The only kink in my chain is that she didnt wear any makeup... like, nothing. Not a drop. Which obvioulsy doesnt sway my opinion about her, but I began to take stock that about 90% of the woman in my company do not wear makeup!
Nothing!! The lady across from my cube doesnt wear any. The ladies in payroll... nothing. Accounting, there are 2 out of 5 that wear makeup... the list goes on.
Now, I am one that wears at minimum a foundation (to even out my skin tone) or BB cream and gloss. But these ladies dont wear aaannnyything!
I wonder if it's because of time? Is it lack of makeup education? lack of interest? unmotivated? is it the job they are doing?
I'm curious. Was does the majority of people dress-up to go to work, but leave out the makeup?
What are your thoughts??
