It is not allowed for any Muslim female to wear any type or any degree of makeup in front of non Mahram men . If your employers force you to put red lipstick or any type of make up in front of men, then you must avoid that even if you have to leave the job if they insist on forcing you to do that, because it is against the teachings of Quran (Tell the believing women to lower their gaze and protect themselves (from sinful sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except what is apparent .(Sura 24, Verse 31).

No Marja' of Taqleed has the authority to go against the Quran. Quran is very clear that showing the beauty or ornamentation is not allowed (ولا يبدين زينتهن) Al-Noor : 31.
