Is it right or even legal?

Because the quality of medical care depends on how much or what kind of lipstick the staff wear!

Yeah, they're too busy with their Swedish-made penis pumps behind the bench...

Sorry Che. In the following case the employer also specifically forbids men from wearing makeup or coloring their nails but requires women to wear makeup

The following ruling doesn't ever differentiate between at will states or not. It doesn't even take into account whether it is an at will state or not.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals: Employers Can Force Women to Wear Makeup

In an opinion likely to raise the ire of civil rights and feminist groups, a divided 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled Tuesday that a woman who was fired from her job as a casino bartender for refusing to wear makeup cannot sue for sex discrimination.

Why would gyn patients care about the makeup of a front desk clerk?

If I were about to strip from the waist down and have somebody probe my nether regions, I wouldn't really notice how the receptionist looked.

I don't agree with those who say that woman always look better without makeup - it's a matter of taste, opinion, the individual concerned and the makeup itself, I suppose.

I do think though, that it is wrong to insist that a woman wear makeup in an office job - even in a client facing role.

No, I get that. I think it was more the point that someone felt the need to tell me that I had to wear it. I always do wear some form or fashion of it. But like I said I tend to go for the more natural look when I do.

And Immy and Zkrib......you silly boys! Leave it to the lawyers to rangle this into a debate!

I'm thinking, I'm sitting here dressed in a $200 dress with matching shoes, hair is perfect, smelling good with $150 a bottle perfume on but that's not enough I have to have makeup on as well.

Do you have trouble remembering to wear shoes that match?



ACK!

You're 100% correct. You should be more concerned that someone felt the need to mention it to you.

But since the thread title was what it is, you have to expect the discussion to include the legality of it.
