Studies Show Pretty Results

Put your best face forward for the best pay

Studies have shown that women in the workforce who wear makeup, do their hair, and put effort into their appearance make MORE than women who do not.

Lesley Everett, author of the book Drop Dead Brilliant, says, “It is a fact that women who wear make-up in business generally get better jobs, get promoted more quickly and get paid more.”

In a survey, 64 per cent of directors said that women who wore make-up look more professional and 18 per cent of directors said that women who do not wear make-up “look like they can’t be bothered to make an effort”.

Everette claims this is because “whether we like it or not, we live in a very visual world and we get judged on appearances.”

Whether I like it or not, I think I agree.
