Tip 5: Try a bold lip When it comes to makeup for the office, you want to keep it simple and professional. Carmindy says the key is to "look appropriate and confident without overdoing it. A stronger lip like a red or berry stain screams confidence and draws the attention to your mouth so people will listen to you." Try Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Stain in Moody, $24.

Nice tips

Great tips. When you're working long hours, it can be easy to neglect things like skin care and hair cuts. This is incentive to stay on top of them -- as well as exercise and healthy snacks!

The blonde study is very interesting. I am from Norway, so I do not believe the comment bearem stated is correct.

The study in Europe reached those conclusions because the wages are higher in the northen countries such as sweden or denmark (where most women are blonde) versus much lower wages in brunette populated countries such as greece or spain. These women don't earn more because if the colour of their hair, they do so because the countries have a more prosperous economy

One good tip a HR person told me was th "WOW factor" when you talk on the on the phone smile, they can hear it on the other end.

This was kind of boring. The thing about blondes making more money is an interesting study result, but that doesn't mean just anyone should go blonde...

Definitely have to smile but I can't go blonde because I am allergic to hair dye.

Remembering to smile more! Don't think I would ever dye my hair blond though.
