    Ladies without makeup? Do they do that?

    I haven't worn make up for 20 years, lol. Of course, 'lady' is subjective.

    A ladies best outfit is their PJs and look "no filter" style. I see so many where i can't tell if they're real or mannequins

    I am not even sure this matters but I'm southern and my mom feels like if you leave the house you should have make up on your face. I hate make up so I don't wear it often. I love other people's make up because they are really great at it but for me it's a nay.

    Beauty is an illusion - appreciate a quick wit, a tender heart, a loving glance.

    Beauty fades, character perseveres.
    I cannot agree with this. As a man, if a woman is not attractive to me, she is off my radar. How do I get into her tenDDer heart???? Or hearts? ;)

    That's our goals in life, to look attractive to every single man out there.

    You're not dressing up and putting on makeup to get on his radar?! Shame on you.

    I know! I've been doing it all wrong!

    To me make up is not everything, yes it can enhance our looks or hide our flaws, it can act like a mask to make yourself more confident, its not going to change people's personalities though, I used to wear make up all the time when I was younger but these days I don't feel the need, I may wear a little mascara sometimes, people can go too far with makeup though, to the point where they look like an umpa lumpa or where they look like they need their head supported lol true beauty is beyond just looks..

    I'm actually going to agree here with @Cutaway_Collar . Realistically, before getting to know someone, physical attraction is the first thing we go on. If we aren't physically attracted to someone, it's unlikely we would take the effort to get to know them. Shallow? Maybe, but aren't we all to some extent?...

    So...going by this logic( which in theory I agree with) once we find out mate and are off the market, we should stop wearing make up and make ourselves look good when we are not with our spouse?

    Either or. I wear a lot of makeup when I feel like doing the full goth thing. My average days are just eye liner, shadow, and lip stick. But then I have my lazy days where I just throw on something dark and do my running. As for others makeup, I've seen beautiful women with and without make up. I've seen horrifying women who make IT look naked. Purple eye shadow to their eye brows and bright blue lips stick beyond the limits of their lips and drawn in eye brows.. and I don't mean the subtle darkening.. full on hard lines and points. Ronald would be so proud of his daughters.

    My skin has got better since stopping wearing it. I'm enjoying my bare time but will wear it again. Probably invest in some good products In future as a treat

    Yikes. Is that really your logical conclusion?

    I mean no offense, but from the little I've seen of you, you seem like a confident and strong person who wouldn't think their only value is in what their partner thinks of them.

    I assure you that some of us do, lol. I feel fake when I wear it, so the only time you'll see me with it on is if I'm in costume for Halloween/convention/event.

    This opinion only applies to me. I have no opinion on other women wearing it; it's just not for me. :)

    I was only kidding, of course, but I honestly can't tell whether my daughters are wearing makeup or not sometimes. It seems that they might spend as much time putting on make up to look like they have none on as when they are getting ready for something special.

    I'll be serious for a change and say that makeup makes no difference to me. However, what does make a difference is that people make an effort to be at their best. As long as they are doing it to please themselves and not someone else.

    No. My logic is : make-up has nothing to do with being attractive to men, or physical attraction in general. Make-up is something we do for a lot of other reasons.

    Agree with the first point, but I'm 100% certain that physical attraction is the primary use for make-up.

    Absolutely not. I wear make up when I know I have an important business meeting. Not to look attractive to men, but to look more "put together". I also wore make up when I went to lunch with my gf on Sunday. And she is not into women, I can tell you that.

    So you wanted to look "put together" so you were aesthetically pleasing. Pretty sure that's the definition of physical attractiveness.

    With..... men are lying or confused if they say they don't like it

    Not really...I see my wife every morning without makeup and she's gorgeous. She wears minimal makeup and keeps it more natural...but really, I can't see a whole lot of difference from morning to when she has her makeup on.

    My favorite look is when she gets back from her morning runs...all natural and glistening....

    That I can embrace.

    But I don't understand putting in so much effort to look like you're wearing nothing. I just feel there are better uses of my time, but again, no opinion on those that do. Just not something I readily understand. :P

    I think makeup is something women (and maybe some men) wear more to feel confidence in how they look and approach life. It's less about being "attractive" to someone (male or female) and more about the principle of putting one's best foot forward. I certainly feel that way when I use it in costuming and at conventions, I just don't feel like I need to put that effort into my everyday. Other women obviously do and more power to em'.

    Isn't self confidence just a derivative of attractiveness though? the reason you're feeling confident is because you believe you look your most attractive.

    I think they can and are separate, but I have self-image issues so never see myself as attractive anyway. I don't think makeup would help those issues, so I don't wear it for that reason. I wear it so that when I'm in character, I'm as close as I can be to that character (within reason). So for me, it is confidence more in my ability to nail down the character I am cosplaying or dressing up as more than being attractive either to myself or others.

    I again can't speak for others who wear makeup. I'm sure some do wear it because the two are interlaced; they just don't seem to be for myself.

    oh ok. for cosplay i get that, it's costuming. Obviously different from day-to-day makeup wear.
