Must women wear makeup to be taken seriously?

Asked by Aesthetic_Mess (7894points) May 23rd, 2013

Do women have to wear makeup to seem mature or professional?
From what people have been telling me as someone who will soon be a legal adult and will be in college, you have to wear makeup in order to look mature.
If you are in a professional field, this seems to be the case as well.
Is this really true? I hate wearing makeup. It’s time consuming to put on, and it doesn’t last on my face.
But why does it seem to be the case that women must wear makeup to be considered a feminine, mature woman?
