I’m sure someone has brought this up and it might be a stupid question but with the dress code change and the theatrical makeup (whatever that means) rule, would black lipstick get me dress coded? It’s so pretty but I also don’t feel like getting dress coded lol.

  • ofc i can’t speak for your store or your sm but i have a coworker who always wears black lipstick/eyeshadow and she has never been dress coded :]

  • Theatrical makeup is the practice of painting, enhancing, or altering the face, hair, and body of the actor with cosmetics, plastic materials, and other substances; it is also the collective term for the materials used in making up. Actors have used makeup in the theatre for a long time, not only to look their best and to transform their appearance but also to ensure that they will be seen and recognized by the entire audience. How well an actor is seen depends upon the distance between the actor and the farthest spectator as well as the amount of available light. Distances blur the features and make recognition of the actors extremely difficult for the spectators.

    No one has been dress coded in my store either for black lipstick

  • Black lipstick should be fine. I used to have a coworker who would always do super colorful and creative makeup like with glitter, sometimes those little clown lines under and above the eye, and occasionally those stick on gems. She looked great and the customers loved it but I think stuff like that is what counts as theatrical makeup.

  • yo what 😭 makeup can get dresscoded??

    I guess so😭😭 when they changed the whole black shirt thing I kept seeing “no theatrical makeup” but what even is THEATRICAL MAKEUP??

    my guess would be face paint, prosthetic, or makeup that otherwise dramatically changes your features. i.e. no trad goth makeup, but regular black makeup is fine

  • It goes with the emo theme brian implemented so why not 😂

  • I was today's old when I found out makeup could get dresscoded omg. Also black lipstick is so nice!!

  • Depends on your manager, whether they like you or not ... 

    That is so subjective that its dumb.

    Really, many people (have and) do get away with violations all the time because people pretend they "don't see it" -- Starbucks is a big game of who likes who and who can brown-nose the best. 

    It's high school 2.0.
