Groomed for Success / How much makeup is too much?

What kind of makeup do you wear to work? Bold or bare?

According to last month's Women's Health issue, somewhere in-between bold and bare is a makeup sweet spot that can help you advance your career.

Few interesting facts:

• Research shows that people are more comfortable with polished women than they are with naturally stunning
• If you pay attention to your clothes, accessories, hair, and makeup, you likely pay attention to details at work
• Put some effort in your makeup but don't go overboard
• Heavy makeup may suggest misplaced priorities
• Blush should be a natural looking pink or berry shade
• Opt for sheer lip stain or tinted lip balm. Lips that are too shiny say 'kiss me', and not 'hire' or 'promote' me
• Smoky eyes are repellent at work, so keep it pretty and simple
• Curl your lashes for an instant eye lift, then apply mascara
