HOW TO APPLY MAKE-UP BEFORE AN INTERVIEW ?
Your appearance defines the outcome of an interview from the very first minutes. Therefore, it is essential to look your best.
For us women, a touch of make-up is far from being a futility!
It may come as a surprise, but studies show that a woman wearing make-up is considered more mature, confident, persevering and healthier.
Tips :
Brown eye shadow, mordant/mascacra and flesh coloured lipstick. Your make-up should be fresh, natural and focused on your eyes.
Why focus on the eyes?
- Your interlocutor must be focused on what you are saying by capturing his or her gaze.
- The mouth is associated with sensuality and as you may have guessed, Marylin Monroe lipstick will not be appropriate in this context! If you happen to bump into a man, it's a guaranteed turn-off for him!

MAKE-UP FOR MEN
In 3000 BC, Egyptian kings and queens wore make-up and the gods were also always depicted wearing make-up. The Romans covered their bald spots with paint and in many African ethnic groups, men wore tribal make-up.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, during the reign of Louis XIV, men powdered their hair, wore wigs, reddened their cheeks and glued taffeta flies on.
Men's make-up has made a comeback in recent years. They are changing, evolving, modernising and taking care of themselves.
However, men's make-up is not as important as women's. Men mainly use it to look better and/or to slightly hide one or two imperfections.
Beyond the prejudices, make-up is not reserved for a category of men qualified as marginal. Models, actors, presenters and even politicians use make-up for photo shoots, television shows and even films (it is said that John Kennedy was elected President because of his tanned complexion during a television debate).
