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!

Bold Make-up Colors Take Over

BY KRYSTLE WAGNER


Whether you're new to using makeup or wearing the latest trend, you can achieve a professional at-home look bound to enhance your inner beauty.


Bright bold colors are-jumping out of your closet and into makeup trends.
The runway often inspires new trends with clothing and makeup, said Sharon Tabb, an independent-makeup artist and event hairstylist in Oklahoma City.


If you've been stuck in the neutrals and aren't sure whether to be bold with the new trends, there are ways to ease adding color into your makeup habits.
Tabb recommends trying one color across--your eyelid or using the bright color underneath your eye as a liner.
You just keep it really simple, Tabb said. “You can use one shade. You don't need a whole bunch of shades. I really like putting a pop of color underneath for those who are nervous and would rather do what they normally do.”
Whether you're new to using makeup or wearing the latest trend, you can achieve a professional at-home look bound to enhance your inner beauty.
The color wheel you learned in art class can help when you're looking for the best eye shadow for you. If you're looking for colors to enhance your eyes, it's best to use the color on the--opposite side of the spectrum, Tabb said.
Liz Benkirane, a makeup artist and hairstylist at Flux Salon in Oklahoma City, said the key for making warm-colored eyes stand out is to use cooler colors, and vice versa for cooler-colored eyes.


Have the right tools


Before applying your make-up, prepare yourself with the right tools.
“You definitely need (an eye shadow) brush because it's for blending,” Tabb said. “When you're dealing with powder products, it's all about making them look smooth, and with a sponge-tip applicator, it makes it very hard.”
Benkirane said-beginners might be more comfortable using sponge-tip applicators, but brushes are better.
“You can be more creative with blending and colors,” Benkirane said. “It just kind of depends on where you are and what you're comfortable with.”
Another key tool is a powder puff, which is used to blend makeup, said Lilly Stone, owner of Soo- Lilly Exclusive Cosmetics in Oklahnma City.


Must have products


As you start or update your makeup collection, there are items makeup artists say you must have.
Whether or not you have dry skin, you should use a moisturizer, Tabb said. Also, you should use a lip balm that provides sun-protection.
“When you're doing makeup, you can't forget about your skin,” Tabb said. “You've got to keep your skin hydrated whether you're young or old. It also helps the makeup go on smoother.”
Mascara and lip gloss are two products--Benkirane said you shouldn't be without.
“You can throw on lip gloss or mascara if you're running late and still have a more put-together look,” Benkirane said.
Stone said women should never be without a good concealer, a soft bronzer, lip gloss, mascara-and a good moisturizer with built in sunscreen.


Common mistakes


Whether you've been wearing--makeup for years or are just getting started, there are certain things you should avoid.
One mistake women make is wearing the wrong shade of foundation, Stone said.
Stone said she tests foundation by trying-shades on the jaw line. When a color disappears, it's the correct shade for your skin.
Another common mistake is not properly blending eye shadow, Benkirane said.
“Blending is a very important thing,” Benkirane said. “You don't want it to be blocked off where it looks like a very different-thing.”


Tips for perfection


Once you have the right-tools and know what not to do, there's one last thing: achieving an at-home professional look.
Overhead fluorescents and more soft-colored bulbs can distort-appearances, which is why Stone recommends using natural light.
Benkirane said using-makeup primers for your face and eyes can help your makeup stay longer. Benkirane cautions women about going overboard with new things.
Don't go too extreme if you haven't played with makeup a lot,” Benkirane said. “Keep it where you're comfortable and go-from there.

Hair Today, Gone 2morrow

Hair removal can be a painful process but homemade remedies may just be the easy way out. PHOTO: FILE

Hair removal can be-quite a dilemma, especially for women who are always on the go. If you think the only way to get rid of annoying body hair is to go through the physical pain of waxing or the mental agony of shelling out a bomb on laser therapy, then you probably haven’t yet discovered the virtues of spearmint-tea and lemon-honey paste.

For women, the problem-of excessive hair growth, which is scientifically known as hirsutism, starts around puberty and marks its territory across the face, neck, chest, back, toes and arms. It mostly afflicts women-between the age of 18 to 45.

“The reason behind excess hair growth is an increased-level of male hormones in the blood (androgens). Although all women produce androgens, increased levels could lead to hirsutism. Genes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, ovarian tumours and adrenal disorders are other reasons for excessive growth of hair,” says Navin Taneja, director of the National Skin Centre in India.

Although-shaving, waxing, threading and bleaching are temporary solutions to get rid of unwanted hair, there are some natural remedies which help reduce hair growth.

“Drinking spearmint tea twice a day, for five days, can reduce levels of male sex-hormones. A paste of gram flour, curd and a pinch of turmeric powder can be used on a daily basis and one can also use a pumice stone while bathing,” suggests Taneja.

Beauty and skin expert Shahnaaz Hussain, a prominent Indian female entrepreneur best known for her herbal cosmetics, has a few suggestions.

“Mix 30 grams of sugar with 10 millilitres (ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice in 150 ml of water. Mix well and then apply it on the--face in the direction of the hair growth. Leave it for 15 minutes, and then rinse with cold water, rubbing the facial area gently. Repeat once every week,” the beauty expert says.

“Another remedy that can help in reducing hair growth is to squeeze 10 ml lemon--juice into 40 ml honey and prepare a mixture. Take a cotton swab and rub this mixture in the direction of the hair growth. Rinse after 15 minutes. Repeat twice a week for two weeks.”

Ritika Manchanda, an HR-professional, swears by the prowess of such home-remedies.

“I had a major issue with hair on my upper lip area – it was almost like a light moustache something I was always very--conscious of being a woman. I used to get it waxed, but my skin used to get extremely red and dry and sometimes used to even peel off,” she said. “But it was a relief after someone suggested home remedies to me. Of course, they can be a little messy because it is all do-it-yourself but it was totally worth it!”

Vandana Chatrath, a dermatologist in Delhi, says women need to change their-lifestyles to tackle hormonal imbalances.

“It is important to-change one’s lifestyle. Imbibing healthy eating habits and regular exercise help tackle the underlying problem of hormonal imbalance,” she said.

“Losing excessive weight also helps. Those suffering from this problem-should avoid eating foods that have a high glycaemic index (a measure of the effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels) and fatty foods,” she added.

Kate Middleton Wedding Makeup Praised by Princess Diana’s Makeup Artist

By Rachel Watkins


Kate Middleton--took the beauty world by surprise a few months ago when the news broke that she would do her own makeup for her and-Prince William's Royal Wedding. It was a fearless move from the Duchess to be, as the ceremony was not only one of the biggest days of her life, but also one of the most photographed and watched events of all time with about 1,900 guests and an-estimated 2 billion viewers.

Now she's a beauty risk taker if there ever was one! But her willingness to play makeup artist also further demonstrated her practical and accessible-nature.
Middleton wasn't unprepared, though, for the Royal Wedding spotlight. She received some serious how to tips in the form of private lessons with London-based makeup artist Arabella Preston. The results were picture perfect, with-makeup that accented the Duchess of Cambridge's natural--beauty glowing skin, eyes highlighted with a slight shimmer, a rosy cheek, and a light-pink glossy lip. Her look was clean and understated, and many beauty pros gave her the thumbs up.
But, according to Hollywood Life, Kate Middleton recently received the ultimate seal of approval--from Princess Diana's own makeup artist, no less. Of Middleton's wedding makeup, Mary Greenwell recently gushed, "I loved it! I was very impressed--with her look and proud that she did it on her own. Of course, I would have loved to do it! But I was thrilled with how she-looked. She did an amazing job."

Greenwell also talked a bit about her opinion of Princess Diana's look. She was a natural beauty and did not need much makeup. Her look was very-simple, gorgeous and polished. Nothing too glamorous, more of a natural look that accentuated her-beauty.

Makeup kit packed into a gun is for stylish Females

Dangerous-women would never carry around something as girlie looking as a purse, but they still want to look their best. To solve this dilemma, Dutch jewelry designer Ted Noten has created this scary looking pistol, but instead-of bullets, this gun packs seven essentials no femme-fatale would want to be without.


Each Seven Necessities Gun is built around the products of a different cosmetics house, so you can have a Dior gun or a Chanel one depending-on your loyalties.
In addition to lip gloss, mascara, and some perfume, the gun also holds a small piece of gold bullion for those quick escapes to Switzerland, and a thumb drive where you can store the contents of your little black book.


It also has a pill -holder where you can put some Viagra for those chance romantic seductions, although adding that without a condom holder would seem to be the only truly dangerous feature of the gun.


Whipping out the gun to touch up your makeup on the New York subway-would be pretty dangerous by itself, although at $11,500 to $17,000 a pop, chance are you'll probably be in a limo rather than on mass-transit.

Beauty Tips For Your Beautiful Eyes

#1) Moisture-Eyes – Moisturize around your eyes every day. Daily facial moisturizers may not be enough to take good care of the delicate skin surrounding the eyes. You may find that you need a firming eye gel to soften deep lines and wrinkles. Skin serums created specifically for use around the eyes target specific eye problems such as puffiness, sagging or dark circles. Products include ceremide capsules, ROC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream, Clinique All About Eyes, and Hydroxatone.

Apply moisturizers with your fingertip pads only. For beautiful eyes, use gentle strokes to apply moisturizers. Always apply any creams or gels to your eyes in a clockwise direction on the right side and a counterclockwise direction on the left side.

Another way to interpret this is to always move fingertips from the outer eye underneath the eye to the inner eye, up the inner brow bone and around the top of the eye and back out to the outer eye. Follow the natural orbit of the eye.
Today, there are hundreds of products for your eyes on the market. Choosing which one's for you can be a confusing task at best. One good rule of thumb is to choose brands that you already use in your facial skin care.
Eye creams are specially formulated to help maintain the integrity of the delicate skin around them. Best advice is to use these types of products overnight.
Used overnight, eye creams can:

Rejuvenate your facial skin

Reduce puffiness

Diminish dark circles and fine lines

#2) Eye Gels – Want to get rid of bagginess, puffiness, and wrinkles instantly? (Say YES!)
Eye gels may be all the help you need to get rid of them and have beautiful eyes. Eye gels help firm the skin under and around the eyes and literally works WONDERS. Gels are the botox of eye care. Eye gels get better results if they are left cold in the refrigerator. Always remember that cold contracts, heat expands.
Eye gels can also help elongate and separate the lashes and to help shape the brows. You’ll need an eyelash brush for best results.

Eyelash and brow brushesinclude an eyelash brush on one side and an eye brow brush on the other side. If you don’t have one these are cheap to buy at any local superstore. Lashes - Apply a very small amount of gel to your ring fingertips on both hands. Rub fingertips together. Gently apply gel to the front and back of lashes. You can accomplish this by closing your eye first, then apply gel to the back of the lashes. Wait a few moments for it to dry. Open your eyes wide and apply gel to the outer lashes by lightly bushing against the lashes with your fingertips. It doesn't take a lot of gel to do this and you don't want to get gel in your eyes. It won't hurt your eyes if you do but it does make your eyes water if you get gel in them. Brush out lashes with the eye lash brush. Allow to dry. In this way, gels works the same way that clear mascara's work.

Brows - Apply a small amount of gel to your ring fingertips. Apply gel to the eyebrow. Brush your brows with the eye brow brush; first upwards on the inner brow, then outwards on the middle brow, then downwards on the outer brow. Allow to dry.
Of course you can accomplish this all in one step instead. Just apply the gel to your entire eye and then immediately brush each the lashes and brows.
Be sure to wash the brushes out after use and thoroughly dry them. You can keep bacterial infections away if you practice proper sanitation.


#3) Shape - If you want beautiful eyes, you have to shape your eyebrows. This either means plucking or waxing unwanted hair. If you're not good at doing this, you may want to use an eyebrow stencil.


#4) Exercise - Did you know that you should exercise your eyes? Eye exercises are designed to help bring clarity of vision and improve eye strength. 


#5) Use Eye Drops - Use eye drops daily. Eye drops not only help moisture-eyes, they help refresh them and whiten them. If you want to create beautiful eyes, then make sure they're white.
Apply eye drops to your eyes as soon as you get out of the shower and dry. Make it a daily practice. No one likes to look into blood shot eyes.
You can buy inexpensive brands like Equate Brand Eye Drops at most superstores. For a large bottle, your cost will be around $3. These inexpensive brands have the SAME INGREDIENTS as the more costly brands!!
Allergies, contacts, alcohol, drugs, and pollutants will all contribute to red eyes. Get rid of red eyes if you want to have beautiful eyes


#6) Use Milk - Use plain milk at night to help tighten the skin surrounding the eye. Milk is a wonderful firming liquid. The lactic acid in milk acts very much like an alpha hydroxy acid.
Naturally occurring acids exfoliate dead skin cells. Milk cleanses and firms the skin down to its deepest layers.


To use: pour a very small amount of milk in a small cup. Dip a clean q-tip or cotton ball in the milk to saturate. Gently apply the milk underneath the eyes on both sides and in between each brow.
I even like to apply some around my mouth to help firm and cleanse the skin surrounding the upper and lower lips. You can even apply it to the entire face. Why not?
You'll be surprised how a little bit of plain milk can really help firm and refresh your beautiful eyes.

#7) Rest, Relax, and Sleep - Get regular sleep and rest. If you don’t, you will have bags, sags, and dark circles under your eyes. Eyes need to rest. Without sleep you will definitely show your age!!!

#8) De-stress - De-stressing everyday needs to be a ritual although its hard to do in this fast paced world. Your eyes will be one of the first places to show it if you stay stressed all the time. If you want beautiful eyes, it is imperative that you learn how to de-stress!


#9) Eye Makeup- Used correctly, the right eye makeup can make 'your look'. Eyeliners, mascara, and eye shadow’s used correctly can brighten the eyes and make them look more expressive.

#10) Take Vitamin A/Beta Carotene – Beta Carotene can really help restore clarity and improve vision, especially night vision. The one other thing you'll need to do, is to get regular eye exams. (If you can afford them!) Regular eye exams can catch problems early. If you can’t afford to visit your eye doctor, just be sure to have reading glasses when you work if you can’t see clearly.
Straining your eyes is bad for your eyesight. You can get a cheap pair of magnifying glasses from any dollar store. They work fine and you’ll keep from straining them. Taking good care of your eyes doesn’t have to cost a fortune though.
There are a lot of things you can do to improve your eyes that cost nothing. If you want to have beautiful eyes, you have to take care of them! You can transform your look and show a more beautiful mirror of your soul!
