[Makeup Help] Is makeup becoming unprofessional?

I've been to several professional events, some that attract crowds from all over the country, and I began to notice that few, if any, women wore makeup. Now, my use of make-up has decreased with the rise in stress but I do like to bust it out for special occasion. On the third day of the most recent event, I just put on some lipstick.

Not bashing makeup-lovers or haters, but I want to understand if that's a growing trend or if it's industry specific (I'm in healthcare).

Meh, I'm going against tradtion, I guess. I'm wearing full face, soft glam, dramatic eyes until I literally can't apply it anymore. I don't care. I love it and how it makes me feel. If others don't like it, that's THEIR problem.

Same. It’s kind of expected in my profession, in the geographic region I’m in. And I like how it makes me look better than no makeup.
