I'm not going to make a judgment call about that, because I don't have the insight in the mind of a woman. What I can say, is that I prefer girls with little to no makeup. To my mind, they appear more authentic. But to each his own, some like them thick as facade wall, others as crystal clear as a mountain lake.
Makeup is awesome FYI. You can do some really amazing things with it. It's not for hiding.
Also: the average man's idea of a "woman without makeup" is actually a woman with a good bit of makeup.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
All the studies I've seen (I don't have links to any off-hand) indicate that most men say they prefer natural, but when present with various appearances tend to select the one that has the most natural-looking makeup, as opposed to the one that's without makeup.
(I actually do prefer zero makeup myself, just pointing out that it's difficult to generalize, particularly because what people say they prefer doesn't always match up to what they prefer.)
Makeup makes you look sexy. Without it you look cute. Usually.
I'd react more negatively to a woman that's extremely opposed to makeup as a whole and thinks all people who use it have self-esteem issues than an ordinary girl who likes to put on makeup once in a while to look fancy and feel extra pretty. You know, like the vast majority of girls I'd say.
Im iffy on makeup. Its a lot of work that I cant be bothered with half the time. Maaybe base to cover up acne and some lipstick for some color but thats it.
Although I was makeup free for my first date with my bf. Things seem to have went fine
Yep. They are. What amazes me is that some women not only decide they don't want to wear makeup, oh no that's not good enough; they have to bash women who freely want to wear makeup. And they imply, rather insultingly, that these women are somehow not "evolved" or "free" or some BS.
Screw these people. Wear make up if you want. And wear it for whoever you want. Wear it for yourself, your loved ones, because it's fun, because it's entertaining, because you feel better, do it for whatever F'n reason you want and ignore the trolls. And of course if you don't feel like wearing it, go for it as well. No one, including other women, have any say whatsoever in what you wear. These people are absolutely the truly insecure ones. Confident people don't concern themselves with what others are doing so much.
So wear it proudly! And enjoy the jealousy!
I didn't say special occasions, I said once in a while, that is, not religiously every day any time any person will see you. THAT's a self-esteem issue.
And well...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But "beauty" is often associated with people that wear quite alot of makeup. And it's hardly anything remotely similar to..shoving cucumbers into ones pants, people do that?
Also, while powder and foundation type makeup is often used to hide imperfections as you say, the most popular makeup has to be mascara and eyeliner type things, which don't really hide anything, but rather accentuate the eyes somehow.
I think you nice in both pictures, but really all that matters is what you think.
Some men prefer natural looks on some women. I would pretty disappointed to wake up to Kesha with no makeup after only seeing her with makeup.
Makeup accentuates beauty and in many cases, makes someone that's "meh" look good.
No, it's not. That's like saying driving a car that's painted is the equivalent of welding a Ferrari's body onto a Ford Pinto. Now breast implants are the equivalent of a cucumber in your pants.
This is merely conjecture.
well i can't say either is unnatractive but idk. i just get this very unpleasant vibe about women who wear too much makeup. I mean, maybe from a really young age I was exposed to Kristin Kreuk's vibrant visage and that is why I do not like a lot of makeup but I'd rather just see a girl in her hair down mode so that it's a really big surprise when she gets ready for a special occasion or something.
