to the point- like it lol xx
I think it depends on the amount. The make up in the second photo is ridiculous so in that instance i would say none is better.
Even though on a night out i never wear more than eyeliner and mascara, i dont really get different reactions when i wear none or alot
Ya, I'm having a hard time getting past the gatorade-hued eyeshadow there. I'm with Cherry though on general reactions; guys love to say how much they love the natural look, only to look right past me when I actually do it. When I'm all 'done up' though? Very different tale.
I think the guys that say they prefer "no make up" don't really know what no make up looks like.
They are usually referring to a girl wearing light make-up with natural hues.
Well another topic where men will say they'll go for no make-up or the girl with no beaver pics lol.
Of course men are clueless. Though some will stamp their feet on the ground claiming to know when women don't put on any make-up.
*stamps feet*
The women I've hung out with, either as friends or as lovers, rarely put on make-up and most of them did look better to me without make-up. Of course this could be due to them not being advanced make-up artists who know how to accentuate their good features.
Admittedly I don't pay much attention to unfamiliar women's make-up in public, whether in the bus or in a bar or in class or wherever.
I guess I just like the complete lack of make-up since it shows the woman without any covering up of her naked facial features. Regardless of the dark circles due to lack of sleep etc.
Insert typical super smart ass comment courtesy of thepainter here.
Celebrities are different. The makeup jobs they get are so extreme and "well done" that often times the woman looks like two different people. For me, any woman that I've had the pleasure to have been with she always looks better to me without makeup. I love a woman no makeup in casual clothes and a baseball cap. that look drives me wild!
Doll, just to be prove my point you should send me a pic of your face with and without! lmao
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. Socrates No makeup, because it taste nasty when I makeout with their face lol!
Celebrities are also different because they get their 'made up' shots *photoshopped* which some of the above definitely seem to be, not to mention the flattering lighting which comes into play when they have having professional photos taken.
Also, they seem to get orange an awful lot too. Hmm.
I keep mine as natural as possible so I don't scare anyone (including myself) when I have to go without for any reason.
I had a friend once who wouldn't leave her house without a full face of makeup. We've lost touch now, but I never got to see what she actually looked like - and we were friends for years.
Too much make up is a no for me But if a girl wants to wear a little concealer, eyeliner etc then why not. Just don't put it on with a trowel.
As a photographer i prefer my models to be well made up as the camera picks up very little blemish and can be quite unforgiving. Also good eye make up is essential.
I think the pics that Dancing Doll posted are a little extreme to say the least. Clearly, there is no argument as to which photo looks better when comparing a bad makeup-less day to and airbrushed one.
In my humble opinion, the problem is that men look the same all the time - no surprises. But woman look different one hour to the next and it's this contrast between a flawless complexion and a, well, flawed complexion that leaves me wondering how she suddenly got so ugly overnight. This could be when unconditional love for someone is important.
You're right, we do look different all of the time but i think a lot of us are just trying to keep up with what society demands of us. We're supposed to look attractive and pretty and sexy because we're women and the ones in magazines and on tv are these airbrushed, skinny freaks that wouldnt know a dark eye bag if it slapped them. lol. So we compete, right? xoxoxox
I think it isn't makeup or no makeup but really down to if it is well applied make up or applied with a builders trowel look!!
The builders trowel version is a total turn off
I actually know an older woman who told me that for the last 10 years of her marriage, she would go to sleep in her makeup every night and then set her alarm (even on weekends) to wake up an hour before her husband so that she could wash her face and redo her makeup and then crawl back into bed and pretend that she just 'woke up that way'. I couldn't believe her dedication to this, since she seemed like she would have been perfectly attractive even without the makeup. How's that for high maintenance?
And that's to say nothing of the women who have professionally 'tattooed' their makeup on so that they always look like they are wearing perfect eyeliner and lipstick.
Some women will go to crazy lengths...
I say no make up for some women and light for others. I am just not a fan of make up.
A family friend of ours was a little OTT on the old make up front...wouldn't let anyone see her without make up, so she'd make sure all the lights were off, go to the bathroom and remove her make up then leg it back through the house to her room (in the dark still) so that no one would see her. Amusingly, this is the same woman who was curling her eyelashes (again) ready for a quick supermarket trip....the doorbell goes, scares the *ahem* heck out of her......resulting in her pulling out all her eyelashes with the curler. Giggle.
I guess it comes down to what the make up is doing - is it making a statement or is it concealing. The eyes and the mouth have an incredible effect on attraction - accentuating them (in the right way of course) just works.
I love a natural look but I also know a woman feel more confident with what she will see as a "normal" level of make up - of course, this could mean men who like women without make up could be subconciously opposed to them feeling confident ;)
