Make-up isn’t just for social occasions. Instead, it can actually go some length to boosting a person’s professional prospects if done correctly. That’s why it’s important that you know how to apply your own make-up, which you can learn from meeting with a beauty therapist. Here are four ways that make-up can help you climb the career ladder.
Presentation
Your skills and talents will only get you so far in work if you don’t look presentable. After all, employees should look immaculate in case they need to face the public or clients. This can often be achieved by sporting picture perfect make-up. It will show your superiors that you take pride in your appearance and can uphold the company’s image.
Punctuality
Good make-up takes time to achieve – but nowhere near as long as bad make-up can. If you don’t know how to apply the likes of blusher, foundation and eyeliner correctly, you could be faced with re-doing it over and over again until you get it right. This can cost you those precious minutes in the morning – ultimately causing you to arrive late and create a bad impression of your time-keeping skills.
Health
A bit of colour in your cheeks can really help you look healthy, as can covering those bags under your eyes. Unfortunately, if you don’t know how to achieve this perception then you could end up looking constantly poorly compared to those who know how to do their make-up. This misconception could lead to interviewers making a split second decision about the state of your health when deciding whether to offer you a job.
Self-esteem
Make-up can really contribute to your self-esteem. If you know that you’re looking flawless and aren’t feeling self-conscious about your appearance, you should feel confident when in the workplace. This should help you avoid bouts of anxiety or nerves that often cast people in a bad light in front of their colleagues.
A new you!
