LONDON: In a recent survey done by Aziz Corporation, one in four bosses admits that a woman who wears make-up to an interview is more likely to get the job than one who does not.

The survey found that many employers take the view that a woman who does not wear make-up looks as if ‘she cannot be bothered to make an effort’ and conveys a less professional approach.

According to a report by The Telegraph , the communications company which interviewed 100 senior directors, found that female bosses are even more ruthless than males.

Over 60 per cent of the female directors have admitted being prejudiced against women in business who do not wear make-up, compared with 52 per cent of male directors.

Khalid Aziz, chairman of The Aziz Corporation, says his female clients are usually ‘hugely keen’ to get their personal appearance right. Most get their hair done at least twice a week, and many believe that you can never be too thin.

The make-up artist Bobbi Brown in a chapter of her book, Beauty, says, ‘The objective of interview make-up is to look pleasant and in control’

I would say its similar to being over-weight. The more overweight you are, the tougher it supposedly is to land a good job. I should know.

It's actually unfair! What about someone who just doesn't like make-up?

Nothing drastically wrong with it (at the risk of not sounding politically correct). It's looked upon as grooming yourself well, therefore it really isn't about the make-up itself but about how well you put yourself together and how much effort is put to prepare for a job interview, at least on the physical front.

Is pay related to how much one spends? Just wondering.
