Wear a suit - two-piece, no vest. Don't wear anything that was considered stylish ten years ago. That's unless they specifically tell you to dress casual. In that case, wear the suit anyway. There's no perfect way to dress, so dress like you want the job. I wouldn't judge a candidate by their clothes, but in a close race the person who cares more wins.
Personally I'm usually oblivious to details like cosmetics unless they're really over-the-top.
My personal rule for shoes: Never wear shoes you can't run in.
I'd like to think that if I were a woman I would refuse to wear heels on principle. My wife says I'm wrong and I don't get it. Either way I'm not likely to notice shoes, and like I said, what a person wears to an interview tells me nothing about their skills. But I'd recommend to anyone that they dress for the interview, not as if they already had the job.
I figure if they're asking for a rock star I'll wear a sparkling jacket, black T-shirt, skinny jeans and pointy boots. If they're asking for a ninja, I'll wear a black gi and a hood. Gotta dress the part.

Does wearing heels show you care a lot? Should I wear really red lipstick and hope the other interviewees stuck to a more neutral palette?
