There’s also the question of self-esteem. I know nobody likes real-time meetings anymore, but should you have one, it’s getting to the point where your colleagues won’t recognise you, in a work version of online-dating disappointment. What happens if you put make-up filters on every digital interaction? Will you have to hide in your house forever, for fear of someone seeing the real you and mistaking you for your mother? Like your first Botox injection, it could be a one-way ticket to a destination you’ll never want to depart. However, a virtual palette is just that – virtual – and the glamour ends the moment you click, “leave” and surprise yourself as you pass a mirror. As I try not to look at the worst version of me, by which I mean the real me, in the corner of the screen, I have a running commentary in my head going, “I really need some more foundation/a ring-light/better moisturiser/face-lift,” which isn’t optimal when you’re interviewing someone. It’s certainly tempting to slap on some virtual make-up to combat that distracting-selfie-gaze on video-calls. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to play around with make-up. There are 95 million videos of people discovering their better selves on the platform.
