If you're not a fan of makeup, then maybe it's time to start wearing it, as a new study finds that women who wear makeup are better paid.
Research on the link between income and attractiveness she showed that they are women who wear make-up and are well-groomed at work are paid more than those who don't.
A sociologist Jaclyn Wong and Andrew Penner collected data on more than 14,000 working women and found that is the link between income and attractiveness.
Some older studies have already shown that attractive men and women earn 20 percent more than their less attractive work counterparts. But this time's research finds that this attraction of women is in contrast to men as a whole depends on how the woman is cared for – this is about makeup, hairstyle and neatness of nails.
Researchers say, that good looks otherwise help on workplace, but that this is not enough, as it is more important orderliness, which affects the increase in income. The reason why they are orderliness and income are related, but it is probably that the amount of effort someone puts into their appearance corresponds to the amount of effort the person is likely to put into work.
However, the research also shows that physical attractiveness can be an important resource inequalities in the labor market.
