Ladies, here is a good reason why you should wear wear make up (Good Make up)

Women who wear makeup tend to get paid more than less glossed ladies, according to a new study.

Jaclyn Wong of the University of Chicago and Andrew Penner of the University of California at Irvine found that grooming rather than natural beauty accounted for a notable salary difference between women.

The researchers analyzed data from more than 14,000 people regarding income, job, education, and personality. People were also rated on how attractive and how well-groomed they appeared.

 

The study found that "attractive individuals earn roughly 20 percent more than people of average attractiveness, but this gap is reduced when controlling for grooming, suggesting that the beauty premium can be actively cultivated."

Researchers also determined that "grooming accounts for the entire attractiveness premium for women, and only half of the premium for men."

Penner explained, "The big takeaway here is that people can capture most of the attractiveness premium. It’s not just what you’re born with."

The study was published in the June 2016 issue of Journal of Social Stratification and Mobility.
