When does making an effort for work go too far? According to new research a third of bosses think that female colleagues wear too much make-up.
Bright red lips was the most unappealing look, with 32 per cent of managers finding the strong colours too much for work.
This was closely followed with too much eye make-up and then too much blusher being a problem too.
But don't think that they want a bare face either, as 12 per cent admitted that women should wear a moderate amount of make-up to work.
"Most of us try to look our best at work but sometimes people may go over the top to impress," says an officebroker.com spokesman - they conducted the study of 500 male and female bosses.
"As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what one person like, another may well hate, but the common theme was that less really was more when it comes to professional appearance."
