"people assume that handsome folks are intelligent and good. There is also some evidence that women feel more confident when wearing makeup, a kind of placebo effect, said Nancy Etcoff, the study’s lead author and an assistant clinical professor of psychology at Harvard University (yes, scholars there study eyeshadow as well as stem cells)" - Franc, a rememberer

I took a business class in which the top 5 students got a consultation with a professional recruiter about our interview readiness. Lady told me my shoes were cheap & too flat, and that I needed to wear blush. Don't remember any advice beyond my appearance. I wanted to cuss her out SO badly. I ended up getting every job I interviewed for, for the next 12 years. Have never used blush. - Starmama
