Should a Woman be Forced to Wear Makeup?

BY MARY ELIZABETH WILLIAMS

A Harrods employee causes-an-uproar when she refuses to paint her face. Was she right to quit or just deluded?

Melanie Stark worked for nearly five years as a sales-assistant in the HMV music shop of Harrods. The 24-year-old says she was commended for her customer service and was described by one of her managers-as-among "the best." Why then does she say she was "driven out" of her job last week? Because-she wouldn't makeup.

London's venerable retail-emporium is known throughout the world as a bastion of British propriety. It even has a dress code for visitors that implores them to make sure "all clothing is clean and presentable and that the appropriate-footwear is worn while in the store. Refrain from wearing clothing which may reveal intimate parts of the body, or which-portrays offensive pictures-or writing." In other words, if you'd like to see the that famed food hall, leave-your "MOUSTACHE RIDES: $1" shirt at home. The store is, naturally, even stricter with its staff – the full two-page "ladies" dress-code tells workers in every-department to wear "Full makeup at all time: base, blusher, full eyes (not too heavy), lipstick, lip liner and gloss are worn at all time and maintained discreetly (please take into-account the store display lighting which has a 'washing out' effect)." It's a good thing I don't work at Harrods, because I don't even know what-constitutes "full eyes," or how to wear three kinds of lip products "discreetly."
Stark knew what she was-getting into when she was hired by Harrods and received its employee dress code. Yet she says she didn't wear makeup for her job interview, or at times during her tenure on-staff. The policy wasn't enforced until last-August, when, after being spotted by a senior manager, she was sent home. The next day she was put to work in the stockroom. Stark says she was later offered a makeup workshop and told, "We're not-making you look like the girls on the beauty--counter" and that she could "just wear eyeliner and lipstick." But after some more back and forth, she simply decided to stick to her guns and that "it was time to move on."
Though Stark herself-seems to have a relatively low-key attitude toward her choice, it's inspired its share of both detractors and supporters. The Guardian's Sali Hughes called the policy "deeply sexist" and said that "it implies-that a woman, however-clean and presentable, can pass muster only in heavy makeup, and that anyone opting out is by default shabby and below par."
That's exactly what the Daily Mail's Liz Jones thinks. In a fiery, quintessentially British op-ed about the row titled, "If you're too bolshy to put on some lippy, why should any firm give you a job?" Jones states that "Women who feel no compunction to improve what nature bestowed upon them are, in my experience, arrogant, lazy or deluded, and frequently all three … Why does a young woman-think her desire to show us her open pores and ruddy complexion outweighs the wishes of her employer to present a polished-face to the customer?"
It's reasonable to expect and enforce a code of dress for a business that deals with the public. Plenty of retailers have them, and many arespecific to the point of absurd. Banana Republic-requires employees to wear a three-piece ensemble at all times, and hoop earrings are verboten at Abercrombie & Fitch. But you know what? Their store, their rules, however arbitrary they may seem. While Liz Jones is full on crackers to assert that a woman without makeup is derelict in her duty to "improve what-nature bestowed," Stark was mighty lucky to skate by for five-years without a hint of Harrods imposed mascara.
Does a female living on this planet in the 21st century really need to coat herself in "lipstick, lip liner and gloss" to do her job, even one in sales? Of course not. Stark, like-plenty of working women, knows that. But just because a workplace rule is stupid, it doesn't mean you get to break it. Now, Stark just needs to find a place with more Stark-friendly rules. Maybe she-could work for American-Apparel, whose dress code handbook tells its workers to be "clean and tasteful-preferably no makeup.

New Fresh Summer Makeup

By Ashley Breckel

Summertime-requires a shake up to your typical beauty routine, with the warm temperatures and days spent lounging at the pool or the beach. A good summer beauty collection includes sun protection, products-to-make your skin bronzed and glowing, water- and sweat-proof picks that will stay put all day long, and just for fun one juicy new lip color and a colorful-eye shade.

Glowing skin
Protecting your delicate skin with an SPF is always a good idea even under the gray Seattle skies but with the sun finally-peeking out from behind the clouds around here, it’s mandatory. After you moisturize and before you put on your makeup, try Lancome’s Bienfait UV SPF 50 ($35 atNordstrom). With a smooth and light matte finish, it offers great sun protection and even--retains its SPF after 40 minutes in the water or perspiring.

For a foundation and moisturizer in one, Bobbi Brown makes one of the most popular options out there: Her Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 ($40 at Nordstrom) has sheer, natural coverage and skin-conditioning jojoba oil, so it goes on easy and leaves skin soft perfect for casual-summer look.

If you’re taking full advantage of the long, steamy summer nights, we recommend MAC’s Strobe Cream ($15 at MAC) to replenish your tired skin. Packed with-powerful botanicals, it freshens, and boosts the look of your skin. Plus, the vitamins, green tea and antioxidants-have a brightening, clarifying and moistening effect on skin. It’s the ultimate quick fix. Another quick fix for a common summer problem is the Zero Oil Matte Finish for Shiny Places ($12.50) from Origins. It will soak up excess oil and shine, and has a smooth matte finish, so you’ll be shine-free on your nose, forehead and chin all day and night long.

For those of us stuck inside the office during the week, who can’t get out to perfect our summer glow in the--sunshine, there is Dior’s Healthy Glow Powder ($46 at Nordstrom). This lightweight powder compact mimics the natural summer--glow of healthy, sun kissed skin and comes in two shades one for more fair complexions, and one for darker complexions.

Don’t forget about the skin on your arms and legs! Pacifica makes a summery-sweet smelling Coconut Crushed Pearl Luminizing Body Butter ($24 at Sephora), that will give your bare legs and arms a sexy, luminescent glow using crushed pearls, sea minerals and phytonutrients.

Kissable lips
Skin isn’t the only thing that can dry out in the summer sun -- your lips need a little love and care as well. Kiehl’s Lip Balm SPF 15 ($9.50 at Nordstrom) will protect your lips-from the elements and offer relief from chapped or cracked lips. Plus, you can choose one of the options with a-hint of color like a golden peach or a ripe berry.

For that juicy new lip color, coral is the shade of the summer. Laura Mercier’s Portofino Summer Collection Lip Glace in Nectar ($22 at Nordstrom) is perfect for its high-shine and hydrating formula. Plus, it's sheer enough to wear to the beach and still look breezy-and casual. 

Alluring eyes
First, make sure your eye shadow is going to stay put without smudging, creasing or caking in the heat. The Pro Prime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base from Nars ($24 at Nordstrom) is a lightweight primer that dries on contact and will keep cream and powder shadows-looking bright and fresh all day.

Soft and smoky metallic eyes are a big summer beauty trend, so get on board with MAC’s Surf Baby Crushed Metallic Pigment in “Summer Stash” ($32.50 at Nordstrom). These limited-edition crushed metallic pigments come in soft feminine shades of-pink and violet, silver and pearly white, in an easy to use see-through stack.

Don’t forget the waterproof mascara. Maybelline’s “The Falsies” Volum'Express ($5.94 at Target) is a great option at a super affordable price point, and doesn’t dry out quickly.

Must-have extras
Keep a pack of oil-absorbing powder-coated sheets in your purse this summer -they help eliminate excess oil and shine, so your-makeup stays fresh and lasts longer. The Oil Blotting Pureness Papers from Shiseido ($18 at Nordstrom) come in an especially pretty blue pouch.

For a fun little extra that is easy to take with you on-the-go, check out Bare Minerals’ Faux and Foxy Collection ($34.50 atNordstrom). This little kit gives you all you need to fake a just--back from-the beach or pool look when you’ve been trapped inside working all day. With Allover Face Color SPF 15 in Faux Tan, a mirrored--compact, brush, and 100-percent natural lip gloss in French Toast, you will be bronzed and-glowing in no time!
