Learn How To Make Up For A Job Interview

While preparing for a job interview, in addition to studying the company profile, thinking about questions and answers, and choosing the outfit to wear, it is also important to think about makeup.

According to Jozete Costa Bezerra, coordinator at Ricardo Xavier Human Resources, if the candidate is used to wearing makeup, no problem, as long as she does not overuse it. “If the candidate is not [used to it], she may overdo it, or feel uncomfortable, and we must always remember that the focus is on the interview, and what image we need to convey to the interviewer. The interviewer has to be focused on our posture and responses rather than on our face due to the fact that we have overdone or poorly done makeup.

Regardless of the type of company and position you want, the ideal is to invest in a neutral makeup.


The right word is: discretion? says the expert. She also points out that strong evening makeup doesn't fit a job interview and shouldn't be the option right now. Still according to Jozete, going with a clean face is also not recommended, it is interesting at least one lipstick not to show disregard for appearance.

It is worth remembering that to achieve the result of? Healthy face? It is necessary to invest in the skin. If your skin is beautiful, free of blemishes and with a natural rosy, you don't even need to wear makeup. If your skin has acne, blemishes and other imperfections or is very pale, it is suggested to make a makeup that makes you look natural, cared and healthy.
