I don't use a whole lot of cosmetics myself, and if other women are trying
to impress me by doing so, they are certainly missing the boat.  Something
that really turns me off (in particular) is heavy use of perfume; I'd rather
sit next to a chain smoker!

I also tend towards more casual dress in the office, for practical reasons.
(4-inch spike heels and tight skirts are not very comfortable.)  Being
"fashionable" is not something I value highly, whereas being comfortable is.
If a woman thinks she has to make herself miserable by wearing such things
to prove her value to other women (or to men), I am not likely to be very
impressed.  In fact, I'm likely to think that she's more concerned about
her appearance than her job.
