What type of makeup do you all wear for interviews? Also, do you have your finger nails painted at all??
Moderation is best - you want the interviewes to focus on you and not your makeup. I say this because this customer at my weekend job came in and she literally had her lips drew, bow shaped and berry red, and I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying because of her "artistic facial distractions". I know this is extreme but you get the idea.....
I would go easy on the mascara and use brown eyeliner, it wakes the eyes up and it looks natural. Also lip balm in place of shiny gloss and colored lipstick. For nails, a natural shade or nothing at all is fine. I'm not sure how they'll find long acrylic nails with fake looking french manicures. If you feel good about your makeup and clothes when you look in the mirror, then that's best indication you look appropiate.
One does not need to have acrylic nails in order to get a french manicure. I do think it makes your hands look better, especially if your nails are too short/bitten.
I agree that you should go easy on the mascara, but do use eyeliner. A brown/light black color (depending on your coloring) will do, just do it on your eyelid, very close to your eyelid line (it shouldn't go on the bottom). It makes your eyes look better.
I think lip gloss is fine as long as it's not very brigth/shiny. Just so your lips don't look dry and opaque.
Buddy, I meant a french manicure painted on the fake nail, I've seen those who do a pink polish and do this white-out white shade on half the nail. Very tacky.
You made it sound like you thought French manicure is only done in fake nails. You were not that specific. And don't get so insulted, I just pointed it out.
LOL, no problem, it's just for the record
Makeup: YES! It is professional to do so, if you are comfortable wearing makeup. I redden very easily so I wear natural foundation and pressed powder, LIGHT mascara, natural shadow, and natural, matte lipstick. I can't emphasize enough for ladies to look natural--now's not the time for bright red lips, smoky eyes, fakey gloss etc.
Yes, I would get a manicure with clear or very light polish--again, not the time for huge fake nails or terribly flashy colors.
Just my humble opinion.
Worked great for me
