Turkish Airlines Bans Red Lipstick And Nail PolishTurkish Airlines
I don't get it, how will affect customer service if a flight attendant is wearing red lipstick? It makes no sense, it seems to be just an excuse of a country that is turning more and more Islamic.
QUOTE If you are thinking of taking a vacation to Turkey, you will be better off leaving your cosmetics at home.
Turkey's national airline has banned female flight attendants from wearing red lipstick and nail polish, according to a statement released by the company. The announcement hit a raw nerve among secular Turks who are worried that the country is becoming more Islamic.
Turkish Airlines, the fourth largest airline in Europe, said the ban was intended to keep the flight attendants natural looking, in order to improve their communication with passengers. Source 5

I agree that it doesn't seem logical that banning a specific color of two applications of make up will improve communications for the reasons stated. If they wanted to get flight attendants to look more natural, then banning all colored make-up would be more appropriate. However, I suspect that the secular Turks are on the right track and this ban is motivated by something else. That being said, an airline can enforce a reasonable grooming policy and banning a certain color of make up seems reasonable to me.
