    I find the answers (by the guys) interesting because I NEVER wear make up and have been told more than once by men that if I wore a little bit of make up I would be that much more attractive in the dating world.

    Interesting.

    i like how the topic starts..:Dudes- Do you prefer the "natural look" or "make up" look?

    few guys post an answer... the topic gets raided and taken over by women and no guys post back

    Really disappointed... I seriously wanted to know what the guys think! :yawn:

    I'm with you... I was hoping to see guys viewpoints. My hubs doesn't even notice... as long as dinner is on the table and the house is clean!!! Wanted to hear other mens opinions! :huh:

    ^ this

    I don't wear makeup and I won't wear makeup, i have never understood why women will go to such grate lengths to make themselves look different....if a man doesn't like me for me then by all means find someone else!

    i understand that i'm "plain looking" to most but oh well

    I like a lady to look like herself.
    Done right a little make up can enhance that but if I can`t see her or wake up beside her as she is and not fall in love all over again then there is something wrong with me.

    Well if you look up a few posts as often happens with threads asking if a guy likes "curvy" "strong,independent" or in this case natural looking ladies when we answer and it doesn`t fit what is preconceived it is not believed. :ohwell:

    Hubby was reading over my shoulder and told me to reply, so her it is he said no one really LOOKS their best first thing in the morning, and My husband prefers makeup but tastefully done naturally done, light colors, gloss instead of a matte color on the lips, complimenting to the tones of your skin. He evens likes that I cover my greys...but I think the grey covering has something to do with denying the fact that we are aging.

    Natural look is always hot. Especially after you wake up in the morning. Too many woman wear too much makeup and they look like clowns. I can understand if you wear a little to cover blemishes but a natural glow is far more beautiful

    I loveee my make-up, but It's important to know when to wear it.
    like you won't see me at the gym with it on.


    but when guys say they prefer the natural look, they are lying.

    I totally agree here ... There is a place for it ... I also believe make up should be used to enhance ones features not completely change their natural beauty by over doing it ....
    I love make up as it was my profession for many years :)

    I have a full face of make-up on in all of my profile pics here..... would that be considered the make-up look? I mean I KNOW I'm wearing make-up, but I dont look like Tammy Faye Baker..... My skin tone is just less even and my eyes aren't as 'stand out' when my face is without make-up. I'm fine either way, but my working environment is one that hope we put our best look forward... for me, that's make-up at work.

    Me too. I use it to blend my complexion and to accent my eyes. A few weeks ago, I hadn't showered, and my SO asked if I was ready to go. I said, "I haven't even showered yet." I guess he either doesn't pay close attention, or I look pretty much the same to him with or with out it. :-)

    Umm...no we're not. My wife wears makeup and looks beautiful but I definitely prefer the natural look. When she rolls out of bed, throws her hair in a ponytail and pulls on shorts and a t-shirt, she looks amazing. I would venture to say that here in Texas, most guys prefer the natural look. There are exceptions of course, but most girls that apply their makeup with a paint sprayer look fake and ridiculous....which I'm assuming is the exact opposite reaction of what they are going for. The sad part is that, under all that gunk, they are probably pretty damn cute but just don't have the confidence to let their natural selves shine through.

    I feel better with at least a little bit of blush and mascara on. My husband says he can't tell whether I'm wearing any or not. I don't know how I should take that.

    Exactly and what is sadly ironic is that some of the stereotypes that women complain about regarding men (shallow and only care about looks) are actually perpetuated by ladies more then guys.

    Some makeup is OK - definitely if applied lightly.

    But my preference is little or no makeup at all, sweaty, dirty fingernails and tattoos. Real-life dirty, not hobo dirty. ;)

    My wife is sometimes afraid to enter the house after coming home from yoga if she knows the kids aren't here.

    I've never really cared for wearing makeup. It's good to see what you guys talk about though.

    Like when a female says she wants personality over looks.

    well played.

    I know this isn't a truely "valid" source (as it is cosmo magazine) and they are trying to market stuff obviously. But there was an article that also surveyed men and most said they prefer natural looking woman. But when asked which female was more beautiful (a natural woman vs. a made up woman) the percentages they gave always sided with the made up woman. Like i said I know they are not a credible source of information but at the same time I'm confused if this was factual information...

    For the men....Is there a distinguishable difference between attractive vs. beautiful? I think in general females think they are one in the same....

    There's a difference in completely natural looking like you rolled out of bed and looking natural but with makeup on. Most guys want you to look presentable, and not like death walking... lol... sometimes I look great without makeup and I wear very little compared to most women even when I dress up. However, sometimes you gotta put a little concealer for your eyes or something so you don't look like the 3 hours of sleep you got with a sick toddler and the stomach flu... lol....
    I would say that the overly makeup look is easily less popular because it looks plastic but seriously we want to see fresh faced people, not death or plastic.... somewhere close to natural but pretty is nice.

    First - wasn't the question clear: "Dudes- do you prefer....?"
    So why more women then men are answering on this post..? Why are women answering this question at all.
    Or maybe those are dudes wearing that much make-up that makes them look like gals?
    hilarious.

    So to the answer now: as a guy - I like a woman that looks good & I don't really ask myself: is any makeup there or not to make her look that way...I just notice when there is too much, because I don't like to feel like visiting the wax museum..
    Otherwise, trick me into thinking they're hotter, or more radiant, or whatever (bigger eyes), or just because it makes them feel good.. I'm fine with it.
    Yep..
    Someone said that the celebs are all wearing it to look that way.. that's just fine with me. Make up properly applied works for me - on a woman. NOT on dudes.. LOOOOOL
