If you would be bothered?

Say for example a shop worker or a waitress. Would you be bothered if they werent wearing makeup?

Nope. Totally their choice.

MintyBojingles · 19/03/2016 00:12

No. Doubt I'd notice tbh.

BankWadger · 19/03/2016 00:12

No, as long as they are clean and tidy. (And because I work in CS and don't always wear make up).

AvaCrowder · 19/03/2016 00:13

No. I don't think I notice at all, and the profession doesn't matter. I worked with a load of traders who didn't wear make up. As long as you can do your job, right?

DramaAlpaca · 19/03/2016 00:13

Of course not.

I wouldn't even notice.

Dontlaugh · 19/03/2016 00:14

It has yet to happen! They're all caked these days. But if they weren't, it wouldn't bother me personally,

whitershadeofpale · 19/03/2016 00:14

No unless it was on a makeup counter.

MrsJayy · 19/03/2016 00:15

I honestly dont notice what they have on their faces unless its a make up counter and they wear ALL the make uo and terrify me Grin

steff13 · 19/03/2016 00:15

I'd rather see someone with a bare face than someone who's way overdone.

SaucyJack · 19/03/2016 00:15

I don't think the bloke who served me in the Co-op earlier had his slap on. Can't say I cared.

AdoraBell · 19/03/2016 00:15

No. I would notice but it's none of my business, or anyone else's, if someone puts make up or not.

LadyMaryofDownt0n · 19/03/2016 00:16

No why?

elephantoverthehill · 19/03/2016 00:16

Is this AIBU gender specific? If so YABU.

CharleyDavidson · 19/03/2016 00:17

Clean and nicely presented will do me. I don't care about makeup.

Nothing worse than being served by someone whose makeup is a distraction it's so heavy (those fake brows are the worst for that, or contouring colours!).

WorraLiberty · 19/03/2016 00:17

What MrsJayy said.

I genuinely don't notice who is wearing make up unless they're a make up counter assistant, wearing ever single product on their face that they sell.

Then I get scared and retreat to the face cleansing section.

alltouchedout · 19/03/2016 00:18

It would be weird to think anyone should have to wear makeup. Do whatever you like with your face!

FlyRussianUnicorn · 19/03/2016 00:18

I usually do wear it.

Didnt today and my manager asked me if I was going to put some on at lunch? Confused. I just didnt have time this morning in the car as I had some breakfast instead

I do have bad acne and some scarring so maybe thats different?

BreconBeBuggered · 19/03/2016 00:19

No...What are you gettiing at here? Has somebody (you?) been told they have to wear make-up?

Mrsw28 · 19/03/2016 00:19

Nope, I don't care.

I've worked as a shop assistant in a few shops and sometimes didn't bother with make up, I was always fresh and clean though with clean uniform etc.

One job I had, I was told at interview that I HAD to wear make up whilst working, which surprised me and I mentally questioned whether that was legal or not... Hmm

Mrsmulder · 19/03/2016 00:20

No, that's not different. Cheeky cow, bet she wouldn't ask a bloke the same question Angry

BreconBeBuggered · 19/03/2016 00:21

X-post. Did you tell your manager to get fucked?

Shemozzle · 19/03/2016 00:21

It's not different at all. Your boss is a sexist dick.

MrsJayy · 19/03/2016 00:21

Does your work expect make up ? If somebody has acne that doesnt affect how you serve a customer.

tangerinesarenottheonlyfruit · 19/03/2016 00:21

No, I doubt I'd notice, but then I don't wear makeup, or very very rarely anyway.

FlyRussianUnicorn · 19/03/2016 00:25

The thing is shes lovely and wouldnt of expected it of her. Im quite self conscious anyway and this had just made me feel 100x worse.

I just said "wasnt planning on it" gave her a puzzled look and she smiled and said "OK" and walked off Confused

Cant work out why she would of asked and thought someone might of said something?
