Lippy women lose respect

WOMEN who are heavily made up are less likely to be regarded as good leaders, a study found.

People were asked to compare images of the same woman with no cosmetics and ready for a night out.

Both men and women had negative reactions to the woman in lots of makeup, the team at Abertay University, Dundee, found.

It said that while goodlooking women usually command more deference, “make-up doesn’t enhance a woman’s dominance”.
