If I don’t cover up my very natural dark under circles and acne scars, I am treated differently at work by customers.
Wearing light makeup is professional, like wearing a collared shirt is professional. Society has decided this for me.
Some men at work don’t even realise I wear makeup because I choose natural looking application without eye-shadow. They only notice when I don’t wear it (“Are you OK? You look tired/sick”)
