  The ladies have covered a lot already, but in regards to your clothing I want to emphasize the importance of fit. A simple outfit that fits your properly will make you look and feel so much better. You may have to try a lot of things on before finding something that works so don't be afraid to do that. And I second the motion of watching What Not To Wear. My mom and I are addicted to that show and it made a massive difference in my mom's style (she was a bit of a frump but got a million times better watching that show).

  
  

  With makeup, that is of course not something that you have to do. However, I wear makeup to work everyday. I am a very young looking 26 and I've been in a management position for over three years now. I personally feel that my wearing of makeup makes me look more polished and mature, which is helpful when I'm managing people my parents age and older. I don't wear a ton though on a daily basis, just foundation, blush, mascara and lipstick or gloss. 

  Watching What Not to Wear is how I started figuring out my personal style. I really liked the general guidelines they gave. From there I just tried a whole ton of stuff on until I learned what I liked and didn't care for. It took a long time, and I was really picky about it because I wouldn't buy something unless I loved it and felt good in it, but now I know exactly what I think I look best in. I have also had a few free makeup makeovers that helped figure that part out as well. (I'm obsessed with Lancome products right now. They have done wonders for my skin.) No matter how you approach this though, you definitely have to stay true to who you are.

  So I just read this thread. I promise I didn't mean to post and run last night. I've been packing so I'll be on and off. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot! I'll try to respond to people, but this thread exploded this morning, which really just means that you ladies are awesome.

  
  

  buddysmom80 I am an engineer who sits at a desk all day and works on the computer, or goes to the lab with basically more and different types of computers. So no machinery to worry about

  
  

  I am interested in makeup, partly for work (which I assume I would still wear minimal at work) and partly for fun.  I want to be able to put on makeup when I go out with my FI. I will definitely make it to a makeup counter sometime in the next week.

  
  

  I will definitely check out what not to wear in the next three weeks, after graduation and before school starts.

  
  

  Thanks everyone.  I hate trying things on, but I guess I will just have to go do so.
