Independent Component 2

LITERAL
(a) Include this statement: “I, MARIAH MARTINEZ, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 56 hours of work.”
(b) Cite your source regarding who or what article or book helped you complete the independent component.
I didn't use any articles or books within my IC2.
(c) Update your Independent Component 2 Log (which should be under your Senior Project Hours link)
(d) For a course of a week I studied what people would say and react when I would and wouldn't wear makeup. It also includes how wearing makeup at work can possibly affect the way people act towards you (mean or super nice).     
(e) Defend your work and explain the component's significance and how it demonstrates 30 hours of work.   
The only work I have available is just a few pictures of me with and with no makeup over a weeks time. But at the end of each day I did a tiny reflection.


(f)How did the component help you answer your EQ? Please include specific examples to illustrate how it helped. 
My EQ is How does makeup affect public perception, and it helped me understand that wearing makeup should only be for you and no one else because if we worry about how it looks for other people then that invites them to have an opinion about it. I had a guy friend who said that this one lip color looked good on me but later that week told me that I wasn't my color (I honesty don't know if he even remembered he told me he liked the color in the first place). When I didn't wear makeup I felt free in my skin and liked the idea of not having to worry about my makeup getting oily mid-day or not being able to touch my face at all.
I found that makeup makes you look more easy to talk to and also approachable, at one point a guy on the bus gave his number to me and complimented my hair to my eyes. Again, its all about perspective but I found that everything is about the same when it comes down to it. Mostly all the people I can in contact with had the same view of my makeup s everything was consistent.
On the days I wore no makeup it was interesting to see how at work that played out. I loved being able to wipe my face and not worry about smudging my foundation but I had noticed that week whenever I was on Cashier at work that the days I wore makeup I brought in more tips versus on days that  I didn't wear makeup. I made sure it was true as far as how many customers we had throughout the week. Of course one can argue that there can be a number of contributing factors of getting more tips with makeup or getting less without it, but I've been working there long enough to know that we can have a busy day and get 3 bucks in tips or have a slow day and everyone get 3 bucks each (divide the tips between 4-5 people, so on average its $18-$21).
Overall it was a cool experience to go through and see how it can change the way people see you with your makeup on and without it even with you realizing it. The main point that I learned was that in the work place it makes you look more happy and that's what customers want to see, a happy beautiful face.
