    When dudes say "natural" what they mean is "fresh but not blantantly obvious that you're wearing make up".

    My husband prefers make up, he doesn't say it, but I can tell! [=

    Not a dude but personally I like to wear some mascara and a little foundation. Nothing crazy that includes fake lines on my eyebrows or a pound of eye shadow.

    I wear make-up but learned many years ago to go more "natural" then "made-up".

    Natural look to gently actcent....but that is easy to get with make up if that is friendly to your tone, not your clothing! Love the comments on this one!

    Glad to hear so many guys like the natural look-gives me hope. ;)

    I'll do makeup for special occasions but my only must-have is my tinted lip balm.

    I must agree with one of the posters that most guys dont even realize it, and when they say they "dont like make up" they mean "dont like girls who have so much make up on, they look like barbies/clowns"

    I don't want to butt in, but I just wanted to contribute with my observation. Most men I know can't really tell when woman is wearing makeup if she applies it in a natural looking way. And then they see women who are sporting a natural makeup look and love how she looks not realizing what she's actually done to her face.

    My boyfriend, for example, was so disapointed when he saw pictures of celebs without makeup and realized they look just like normal people. He honest to god thought celebrities naturally had 1 inch long eyelashes, perfectly even and symmetric brows, perfectly even-toned skin with no pores, chiseled cheekbones and rosy cheeks.

    So in my experience, most guys that say they prefer a bare face don't really mean it because they don't even know how that looks like for the general woman population. LOL.
    Natural look doesn't mean "no make up" but a look that looks more natural rather than pancaking it on. One of my ex girlfriends did it and it took her an hour just to put on make up.
    Put it this way, if your sink "cakes" up in a couple of days from powder, it's too much make up IMO.

    I totally agree. What men don't realize is that a lot of times we are wearing make-up and they don't even know it. There have been times I mentioned my make-up and the bf has said, "You're wearing make-up right now?" I look natural most of the time, but when I do make myself up a little more I tend to get more, "You look good, babe" comments from him. It's subtle though.


    edit: Sorry, I guess this was a redundant post. Sorry for the hijack guys.
