Many ways you can do to improve your career, for example with productive work, always meet deadlines, to come into the office early. In addition, there are other ways you can do to get that promotion you’ve long wanted, namely wear make-up.
In a study published in the scientific journal PLoS ONE, a team of researchers assessed 100 photographs of faces of 25 women with different types of makeup, that is natural, professional, and glamorous. Natural makeup in question is a minimalist makeup with soft colours which tend to be similar to skin colour. Professional makeup tends to be more daring with a contrasting colour from the skin, and tailored to the type of work. While revealing a glamorous makeup makeup colours that are bold and tend to be thick.
From all levels of this makeup, saw an increase in attractiveness, competence, and confidence. Surprisingly, women with professional makeup and glamorous rated as more attractive and more competent than women with a natural look. Using cosmetics when the office will also provide a positive effect on one’s assessment of competence, social warmth, and professionalism that occurred thanks to her confidence. Nevertheless, they are happy to apply professional makeup and glamorous tend to be less reliable.
The study conducted by Harvard University shows that women who use makeup to the office of professional time will be considered more attractive, competent, pleasant, and more reliable, than the air-glamorous makeup. It added that professional makeup used should be the contrast between the skin, and adapted to its environment. The easiest way to do this is to use red lipstick.
This is consistent with other studies that revealed that women who can dress seem more intelligent than others. To get a promotion, you must have the required skills and productivity, while the attractive appearance is an additional requirement. But in this latest study looks, most employers look for employees who physically attractive women, as well as have the skills and competencies.
“This shows that the make-up is actually a ‘tool’ that can be used to bring different aspects of themselves. Not only their charm, but also from another aspect such as social environment, warmth, and others,” said Nancy Etcoff, PhD, assistant clinical professor at Harvard University.
But, really use makeup alone could affect the promotion of promotion? It is not yet certain, because in addition to physical attractiveness and self-confidence, ability and labour productivity also be? able to receive consideration for employment promotion. Women should have the personal qualities and professional in work, and not only capable of applying eye shadow constantly at work, “said Veena Fox Parekh, Wolters Kluwer Corporate communications manager, as quoted by Forbes.com.
