“Appearance” Standards Question

[StarJuno127]

Hi, I’m someone who loves flying a lot and has always dreamed of being a flight attendant. 

Unfortunately I was “blessed” with a genetic cystic acne condition that wearing makeup exacerbates significantly as my pores are super sensitive to being clogged. I’m not dirty, I don’t have open sores on my face or anything, but there is often bumps and redness as well as significant scarring from having this condition for many years. 

Would I be disqualified from being considered for this job unless I wore heavy makeup?

Hey,  @StarJuno127 

Thanks for your interest in joining our Southwest Family as a Flight Attendant! Our Flight Attendants are not required to wear makeup, as long as they present themselves in a well-groomed and professional manner at all times. Should our Employees choose to wear makeup, it should be professional and complement the uniform. Eccentric and exaggerated cosmetic styles and colors are prohibited (e.g., glitter, excessively bright colors, state makeup, etc.). Read more details about our Uniform Appearance Standards here: https://swa.is/UpdatedFAQs. As long as you meet our standards, your "blessing" wouldn't disqualify you!  💙❤️💛
