There goes another dream. The department store has a very strict dress code for its employees.
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).
I don't even know how to do that! I could try, I suppose, but my only role models lead me to suspect I couldn't pull off the 'discreet' part.
Oh, wait…only the female employees have to cover up their natural hideousness with artificial cover-ups. I guess we men are just prettier without it, a fact that is confirmed by that sensible, objective source, the Daily Mail:
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?
Now I'm confused — is she suggesting that we make-up-less men lack those open pores and ruddy complexions and other such scars and flaws, or is she just suggesting that men are arrogant, lazy or deluded? Because I don't even know what "blusher" and "full eyes" are, and I couldn't tell you the difference between the three things you're supposed to paint your lips with, so I'm hoping it's the former.
Man, there's a lot of bullshit involved in being a Proper Woman, I guess.
