    I much prefer very light makeup. That's my preference. My wife wears a little eye concealer, some lip gloss...done. But she has great skin and is quite attractive without, so that makes it much easier. I agree with faceoff - if you have a naturally pretty face, I want to see it.

    My husband is a no make-up person as he prefers my natural look. I like natural looking make-up and do something more natural. If I do go dramatic, it's usually a smokey eye and some blush for an evening out, but nothing over the top.

    Men like what they like! Some dudes may be into women who wear a lot of makeup and some may not, it's just a personal preference. That being said, I think people (in general) would rather look at someone who's makeup is not too over bearing. Over bearing to me would be putting on eyeshadow, mascara, foundation, eyeliner, blush, and lipstick all together!

    personally I really DISLIKE makeup on a woman. Some eyeliner is ok, but really anything else I have a strong dislike for it.

    also, lipstick is a turn off for me. Maybe im wierd IDK.

    But I think lipstick would really bring out your eyes...

    shh, that was a one time thing...and you gave me angel dust.

    Admit it, it was fantastic, and you loved it--lipstick and all...

    Oh I wont deny it, but you bite a bit too hard, it took weeks for the marks to go away.

    For the most part, I like to keep my make up natural looking. But when I get all dolled-up to go out, it looks a bit like this:

    My husband said one of the first things he noticed about me (other than my awesome rack...haha) was that my makeup was really natural looking. He had to ask if I was wearing any.
    He asked me the other night on Skype if I was wearing any and I had just washed my face so I was completely makeup free. He said I looked like I had eyeliner on. I RARELY wear eyeliner.
    I usually only put on a little blush (unless I have a nice tan, then I skip the blush) and some mascara. That's all.

    He prefers natural no makeup or very little.

    But when I get dressed up, put on a little eye stuff, and some hot red lipstick, he gets excited..... :blushing: :wink:

    I love wearing makeup! I love buying new make up and taking my time putting it on. It's just a small pleasure of mine, so personally, I don't give a crap whether a man "hates makeup".

    I will say that the way I do my makeup is very natural looking...foundation/powder (I was not blessed with naturally flawless skin), eye shadow, mascara, light blush and some lip gloss. I don't have a clown look or anything...but I do really like makeup. I would say that I am naturally pretty, but makeup allows me to play up my best features and I DEFINITELY notice that I turn more heads when I am wearing it.

    I rarely wear make-up and my husband says he thinks I look better without it. I wear it if I go out, that's it. I think I'm wearing make-up in one of my profile pics.

    I prefer a natural look.

    That may mean no make-up or very little make-up.

    If a lady feels better when she is wearing it....fine by me.

    Happy Lady.....Happy Life!!

    Let's just not apply like war paint.

    < --- I look like crap without makeup and I really don't care. I might be a bit a swollen with sunburn but it's Florida, makeup doesn't do well here. If I need to glam up, I will. :)

    I call BS too - I think men say they don't like makeup until they actually see a girl without makeup then it becomes clear they really do want some make-up. Just not clown style.

    My honest guess is that men that say they like no makeup are actually referring to women with well-applied makeup. I would guess that if they were to post pictures of what they think are 'natural beauties' the majority of them would actually be wearing makeup.
