Men like women with no makeup? WAT??

Nah if I really like a gal I want her to be natural with me - I can't stand too much make up - too much is anything more than a lil mascara and touch of blush or eye shadow. TOUCH. Maybe a little bit of lippy occasionally, but not habitually.

That's all fake.

I'm amazed as a woman you find it so abhorrant, I guess that shows the state of affairs of our society eyy?

Personally if a dude had a problem with you not wearing makeup, that clearly shows he's a dick. To be honest and state the TRUTH.

This is kinda spun from the Lounge, but I thought it was a (semi) good SLR topic.

Some of the guys mentioned liking women who don't wear makeup, but I find that a farce. Any woman (celebrity, porn star, etc) that a man posts as "beautiful" has makeup on. You certainly don't find men posting pics of celebrities caught without makeup, in their sweats and their hair a mess as a "hot" pic of them. I find it disingenuous that men claim to like women with no makeup when in fact they might not even know if the woman is wearing makeup when they approach her. I'm not talking about the caked on look...I'm talking about subtle, stylish makeup. A little powder, mascara and lip gloss (that's what I wear) can mean me looking like a million bucks and me looking like a worn out drug addict. It does wonders for us.

Now, that isn't to say after the guy gets to know a girl and loves her personality that she is beautiful to him even first thing in the morning. I've had those moments too, but those initial moments where attraction is important, makeup is a part of the "beautiful woman" persona that men are looking for and (maybe) don't realize they are attracted to.

Any thoughts?

I think that make-up is used by women to make themselves feel better. I know that when I am w/o makeup, I don't feel as pretty. When I do my makeup really good, I feel on top of the world beautiful.

Please keep in mind that when a girl doesn't feel pretty, she is certainly going to look for the man to fill that esteem hole up. On the other hand, if a woman feels good about herself then she needs no emotional upkeep as far as the physical look too. I have been taking care of my body/skin very well in the past 6 months and although make-up is not good for your skin. I still wear it to work and when I go out. Just not on my daily gym trips, grocery store...etc

And as attested by many of the men in this thread, how you feel about your level of sexual attractiveness may not accurately reflect how attractive you are to most members of the opposite sex. There's simply no way that makeup could make that much difference and not be exceedingly obvious to the point of, like, tackiness. If your face looks like a chunk of porcelain or a geisha's mug (however attractive you may seem to yourself), you probably won't be accumulating as many lovers as you would if you just put on the bare minimum.

This reminds me: Men do not wear makeup. Men could easily wear makeup. If men began to wear makeup (and such a thing were accepted and expected as the norm), standards re. a man's physical appearance would change, much as they have with women - so why can't society change the other way, i.e., why is makeup considered such a given of sexual/social life, even among those females who could easily know better than to trash their skin quality with bizarre chemical pastes? It's not that makeup is evil, but I just can't understand the rationalizations offered in this thread for putting weird clay-paint-powder shit all over your sensitive facial skin to...increase your self esteem?
 
Men (who claim that they don't like makeup) don't like women who wear make up that is immediately identifiable as makeup having been applied. Properly applied makeup is not easily identified, so its a particular male ignorance that leads to this claim (for the most part).
 
I think the expectations put upon the modern western woman are incredibly high and unrealistic. Accentuating certain features via body painting has a history that predates recorded history.
 
A picture of a beautifully made up girl is just that...a pretty picture. Just because he likes looking at it doesn't mean he wants it. A woman will wear her makeup and clothing to attract a man but the man that sticks around for the long haul is going to see you in the morning with your hair all crazy and your makeup gone. I wear enough mascara and eyeliner to bring out my big brown eyes. Anything more than that just isn't me. I don't like spending more than 15 minutes on my look. anything beyond that is me trying to look like someone I'm not.

Thank you...Thank you...Thank you...I have three daughters and I have spent the majority of their teenage years trying to get that across to them.

This year for Halloween I dressed in male drag, fooled pretty much everybody, including friends who didn't recognize me, into thinking I really was a dood. I actually wore way MORE makeup than I normally do; liquid eyeliner sideburns, mustache, etc. and really dramatic Clockwork Orange style black around my eyes. I was surprised at the amount of positive attention I received from folks while in this persona. The makeup really completed the character I had going on, accentuated some sort of quasi-masculinity.

So guys really COULD wear makeup. One just has to own it.
 
^Agreed.

Tbh what I think about make-up can be summarized in a few words - i think it's a shame anyone feels the need to draw on themselves to feel better about how they look.
That being said, I do wear make-up when I go out sometimes and I do have dyed hair and all that so I'm not proclaiming myself above it. Still think it's a shame though, we should have the self-confidence not to have to do that.
 
Why the fuck would i want to waste money every month on make up? An item that is so BS, a cultural expectation that effects countless individuals in a negative way. Make up isn't need by men or women, no matter the justification behind it.
 
ok i am a woman and men normally consider me attractive and the majority of men have told me they like me better wothout makeup.
Now of course the exception to the rule is if I am broken out and need a lil bit of coverup or bare minerals face stuff...
 
Makeup can do justice for almost anyone! There are precious few IMO who are just plain sensational being completely bare-faced...
 
Well every guy is different but I personally like a woman that wears a little make up most of the time (like Kristen Kreuk) but then when we go to an event and get all dressed up she looks super hot. Wearing make up the same everyday is kind of boring looking.
 
We hate that caked on super over done crap. I don't want to be dating John Wayne Gacey after he puts on his clown makeup..

Subtle makeup, just to accentuate the features and add a little class. That's it.

me too. the singer of my husband's band often wears eye liner and he looks super hot. on halloween, i had to borrow his makeup cause i had none of my own.

i don't think it is reasonable to say that guys who like people with make up can't also like people without make up. i wear make up on extremely rare occasions, mostly when i get dressed up.

I certainly prefer women to wear as little make up as possible.
When I was a teenager I went out with a girl who wore loads of makeup, her face was practically orange. You could see the line on her neck where the makeup ended & her real skin colour started.
It would also get onto all my shirts staining them orange.
Less is more as far as make up is concerned.

While this may be true for many people, I tend to find that gals who don't use makeup are more compatible with the lifestyle I want to live.

FWIW.
