What if you are anemic and have dark eye circles as a result? Or numerous other illnesses that make you look sick because well you are, and wearing a little make up makes you feel better about yourself? Genes/hormones also play a part. You can't say because someone looks unhealthy or has bad skin it's because they eat Mcdonalds and don't look after themselves.....how narrow minded...

i'm not against make-up at all, but in my opinion, a girl who is already beautiful doesn't need it at all, and a girl who isn't that attractive in the first place won't look good with make-up either.
short anecdote: there is a female co-worker of mine, she is really cute and pretty, usually she doesn't wear make-up (or maybe very decent). one day she comes to work with rouge, a ton of eyeliner and other stuff smashed into her face, to me not attractive at all, but her female boss was all like "ohhh you look good with that". i mean seriously? sometimes i think, women are conditioned by society to think that they look ugly and that men are only after that stupid artificial smear-shit-on-your-face look.

It is possible those men who state they like a woman without make-up don't know it takes about 6-10 steps for the natural look
it's also possible that women who think they're fooling the boys with their natural look have no idea the guy they're talking to in broad daylight can notice what studio lights in the bathroom the makeup was applied in don't show.
not gonna deny that a bit of makeup makes a girl look her level best but anything more than a touch of mascara and some lip gloss looks gauche when i'm close enough to see through the other shit.
despite the above, i don't like makeup, and i never did. i've been spending some time lately with a girl who literally wears no makeup and she isn't particularly attractive but i feel comfortable with her which i don't in the presence of a girl wearing makeup because it puts me on fucking edge wondering who the hell she's all gussied-up for. is it for me? herself; why?? that guy at the other table? other women? EVERYONE?! NO ONE?!
i think too much in general and feel agitated in the presence of any deceptions/illusions and makeup falls under that category for me. if females were just exhibits you look at for a few minutes in an art gallery before moving on then yeah, makeup ftw. but as long as they're people with whom i might actually want to spend time with i definitely prefer females i can feel comfy with rather than someone who is only missing a "do not touch" sign hung around her neck.

I prefer clown makeup, if anything.
At least shows some commitment to a sense of humor, something I value far more than simplistic indoctrinated aesthetic insecurities.

I treat my skin and hair with as little as possible in general. Also allergic to most makeup. I've found a powder and some lip glosses that work well for me, and generally I stick to those. I feel confident in my appearance most of the time. I'm in a field that discourages excessive makeup/jewelry. I do love little touches of eyeshadow and sparkles for evening. At 32, I still get carded. I stay on top of the gray hairs I have earned through hair color. I wear moisturizer suited to my skin and wash my face before bed, whether or not I'm sleeping with someone. I notice I receive more compliments from women (not in the creepy way, in the 'you look especially nice today' way) when I add the extra touches.
I know men who borrow concealer from their wife/gf/sister/friend on occasion. And we're not talking Boy George. If a woman wants to wear makeup to enhance her appearance, that will automatically give her more confidence and yes, it is confidence that is sexy. A little bit of lipstick and rouge might add to that confidence, and I say more power to that.
I agree with lady grey that it is narrow-minded to associate skin problems with drug use or an unhealthy lifestyle. While it is true that it's important to carefully source foods, it's also important to manage stress effectively, sleep regularly and well, and to enjoy life. I don't automatically assume that the lady ahead of me in line at the store who looks a little tired was gorging herself on fast food.

i've heard guys say they think american apparel models are hot, and honestly 80% of those photos the women aren't wearing any make up at all. circles under their eyes and weird eyebrows and bad tan lines and all. i don't like makeup because none of it is made for me. just another mulatto problem, honestly. when i was younger i wore crazy eyeshadow all the way across my face like a bandit mask. it didn't occur to me until later that i was supposed to just use make up to look "more natural"??? none of my partners have ever said anything to me about a preference one way or another, and the only make up i wear now is lipstick. and the only complaints i hear about that are ; 'why do you have to have chanel?' 'why is it 40$?' if any one said i should be wearing makeup i'd probably dump them, to be honest.

lies! woman with no makeup no exist! shit, I find men who aren't wearing makeup to be attractive, only because it is totally normal to see. But I really just don't know a single woman in this world who does not have makeup on/hair removed/ etc. We need more women who just DGAF about the way they look. like, more than 2 total. but were it up to me, everybody would have to be as lazy about their appearance as I am, and we would all be wearing sweatpants and oversized jackets, be totally unshaven, and we would spit where and when we wanted, plus we would all have unibrows, pick our noses in public, and fart loudly, and not care about how retarded our real laugh sounds. there are girls out there wearing makeup, who are only attractive to me BECAUSE OF THE CLOTHING/MAKEUP. Take that away from them, and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot synthetic dowel. So to me, makeup is a lie. Ever seen a convincing drag queen? ever been convinced by a convincing drag queen? (hopefully no lol) I don't see enough people out there being real. It's like LSD, at first the way everything looks filthy would bother us, but eventually it would become the norm and we would start to DIG IT.
Women can look good with or without make up. I find that a woman who relies on makeup on a daily basis to look good often looks FAR worse without the make up then the woman who doesn't rely on make up on a daily basis. I also think that it speaks to her confidence as a woman if she doesn't feel like she needs to wear make up all the time.
Make up can be sexy at the right times, otherwise save it for a special occasion.

A little goes a long way. Women should avoid foundation cause it's bad for skin and causes breakouts. A few blemishes don't look so bad on a pretty face anyway, and we all get them from time to time. Caking on foundation that has that orangish tint or the fake eyelash thing is highly tacky, but a little eye makeup and lip gloss is nice.

Well, it's also worth mentioning that I can't stand super gawdy and huge earrings, ear plugs, piercings and dermals on the face, and these fucking spike studs under the lips known as "snakebites."
Really overall, body alteration is a turnoff for me, especially the permanent kinds. I do like some eye makeup, but don't go overboard.

Exactly. Many men don't realize that sometime a "natural look" does take a few minutes and a bit of makeup. It's just really well done makeup!
Not all females have perfect skin tone and all that. If there's a girl with a ton of pimples and she feels more comfortable with makeup on that hides those pimples, is that really so wrong? I know plenty of people that have blemishes that prefer to hide them when they go out. Kind of like how you wear clothes. You wear certain clothes to accentuate your "good parts" and make your "bad parts" less noticeable. (Not all the time, but I think it works as a rough analogy.)
A little goes a long way ...... exactly.
That is how makeup should be treated, in my opinion, in everyday use.

No shit. Of course the people who look 'far worse' without makeup will rely on it more than someone with more 'natural beauty' who doesn't need to rely on it on a daily basis to meet this aesthetic standard of 'good'.

I think these sort of arguments similar to this are flawed (not yours in particular muvo, as you're stating something rather than arguing either way), because you're comparing things that aren't comparable. Someone who looks better than 95% of women anyway makes the makeup aspect of the argument fairly redundant.

That's when it's time to see the plastic surgeon. I'll be seeing mine after 40, I'm sure.
ewww. You shouldn't go to bed without wiping it off!
Yep! Chanel is the only makeup I wear, but fuck it's expensive. I buy the powder and mascara and it's a $100.

^^^^me too! I love, love my Chanel makeup, but don't like the checkout....I wear only Chanel. Last time I was buying my regular foundation, and got two moisturizers without asking the price, and almost fainted when she asked me for $284.00.

I like the way makeup looks when it's smeared into the sheets after a spirited round of DS

i don't wear makeup besides lipstick -- the bloodiest red possible. (chanel 47 - "rogue" although i am considering giving tom ford a try) i don't shave my armpits. or my legs, really, unless i'm in a bathing suit. i don't pluck my eyebrows, although i've considered that before.
holy shit! and i thought it was bad just shelling out 40$ a couple times a year for some lipstick tubes! not that tom ford is any cheaper.
The most beautiful girl I know doesn't ever wear make-up. If someone doesn't feel comfortable in their appearance then fair enough, that is for them to choose, but to a have a general rule that 'all women look better with make-up' is ludicrous.
