It is interesting to mention make up at work. I work in a restaurant and feel like the light make up I occasionally wear melts off of me while I am going 100 miles an hour! My co-workers and boss mentioned to me that I always look better with make up. I don't really think there is that much difference but they can think that if they wish. As for the mirror question, I have struggled with how I look in the mirror for years. For a very, very long time, I would avoid my reflection in every reflective surface I would pass. It has just been in the last couple of months that I am starting to take control of my reaction when I see myself in the mirror. It still isn't great but I stop myself from saying self-destructive comments to myself.
I do think there is an ideal image for a woman. I think there has always been an unattainable ideal for women, the goal has just changed over time. I think there is an ideal for men as well but it comes more from the 'go get them tiger' mental side of things where as we deal with the physical side more often.
I think I present myself well professionally. I am in a pretty lax environment so the bar isn't set too high for me.
