Now that you've seen the career beauty don'ts, check out these nine office hair dos.

Work hard and you will be rewarded, right? Maybe � as long as you don't have split ends and chipped nail polish. According to a recent British survey, smudged mascara, a fake-looking tan, and too much makeup can even prevent you from being hired in the first place. That's right, employers are quick to judge you by your bad beauty habits.

Skip ahead to see the 7 beauty habits that'll ruin your career.

Of course, you've got to know your industry. Case in point: Last week, our Associate Editor Sharon showed up with a multi-colored mani complete with rhinestone bows on each finger. Naturally we all spent the morning fawning over her nails -- including Sharon's boss. But would Sharon get that type of reaction if she worked on Wall Street? Ha!

While dress code rules will differ from workplace to workplace, there are a heap of unspoken beauty habits that bosses hate more than your frequent Facebook breaks.

To get the nitty-gritty on these universal no-nos, we asked CEOs and upper-management executives to tell us their biggest pet peeves when it comes to the beauty mistakes women make at the office. Are any of them hurting your career?
