Do I look unprofessional if I don’t wear make up? I never like it and only wear it on special occasions like weddings or things like that. But I am worried people think I don’t look professional at the office or on-site at a client

I think it depends on precedent. If people are used to seeing you wear makeup, probably yeah it might feel unprofessional. If you’ve always been makeup free around them they won’t know the difference.

I don’t wear much makeup either. I’ll occasionally put on mascara but that’s about it. I haven’t noticed any difference in how I’m treated because of it and I used to wear more makeup pre-Covid.

Makeup for women used to be required in my old law firm dress code, so would imagine some older folks may view it as unprofessional. That said, you should be able to compensate with other aspects of your appearance. So unfair, but women are expected to put more effort into their appearance than men. Read the beauty myth.

I never wear it

I think a little bit of makeup does go a long way - like a little bit of mascara/ eyeliner. Agree with the other commentators on here that if you usually don’t wear makeup no one would know the difference lol

I wouldn’t say so. As long as you are well groomed with tidy clothes, that’s enough to look polished and professional.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
