Why do women wear makeup?

I actually dont wear any, it makes me break out the very few times (i can count on one hand) I think I dont look right. Iv had many friends/customers comment on my skin how nice it looks and im lucky to have black eyelashes and lots of them so I dont own any and I dont see why I should wear it. If you want to thats fine :-)

I get hit on with and without makeup. I wear it as a mask... as a way to step out of my normal shy demeanor and be that outgoing person for a little bit. I rarely wear it but when I do I don't notice that I get more attention.

Ladies I think it has more to do with your hair clothes and lighting in the photos.
Those who look better made up had also totally made over their hair as well.
Some of you had better hair in the non-made up photo- wild free exciting- and looked better in those.
One or two benefited a bit for the tonal smoothing of skin.

What amuses me is the guys like you natural but think you are not on the prowl unless done up. The answer is for you to hit on them. Give it a try, guys take the chance of rejection all the time and they don't die of it.

I'd bang both girls.

ME TOO!

I understand why women do and don't wear make-up. One thing that makes me angry, however, is when MEN feel the need to tell me I don't need to wear make-up. Thank you, but obviously I don't. It's not for you, it's for me.

My make-up makes me look bright and awake because I never get enough sleep. I like it. I can go out without it, I just prefer to look smooth and alive instead of... well, like I got two hours of sleep.

I wanted to post a picture of me with makeup and I realized I don't have one.

I don't really wear make-up that often, but when i do it's an eyeshadow that matches my shirt, eye liner, mascara, and chapstick. I have a hard time finding a foundation/ concealer or whatever it's called (lol) that actually matches my skin tone so I don't even bother with it.

because this is what i look like without it : (yucky scars- so selfconscious)


and with makeup :

I think it makes such a difference if a girl has make up on or not.
But I also think that being natural is important, and therefore I hardly ever wear much make up

This is me without make up:


This is me with makeup:

I'm quite lucky, I'm married to a woman that really doesn't need makeup. It's nice for me to, I guess, see her naturally all the time, and it's also a much cheaper way to live .

I don't wear makeup. I wear lipgloss, that's it. I love the fact that with me what you see is what you get! Some women honestly don't need makeup, others don't feel right unless they have it on. Some look absolutely beautiful when they put makeup on.

Your pretty with or without the makeup.

Awww thanks

Holy cow! How do you make the pics smaller? I tried editing them but it didnt work!

I only wear makeup when I am going out for a special occasion (very rarely). I like wearing it, but as a treat (and hate being exhausted after a night out and trying to get mascara off again!!!

I dont think of myself as "pretty", but I just am not bothered about it. Infact right now I am not certain where my makeup bag is!!!

I think this is largely because I went to an all girls secondary (high) school, and I couldnt see the point in it - despite some girls plastering it on with a trowell. For me it just makes the effort of getting ready for a night out more special.

I simply do not understand women who cant nip round the corner shop for some milk without trowling it on. Or those who have to wear it at the gym or swimming pool?!? I am there to work not to look good!

I do think that less is more - subtle eyes and lips to enhance natural beauty rather than plastering it on to cover it up.

Thats just my opinion.

Its way too much effort to put make up on every day. I value sleep more


And anyways, that way when I do wear it, I look different without very much effort. Win-win :bigsmile:

^ this and also i'd look like a panda when i workout if i wore make up.

I love Mac and have loads of it but pretty much is used less than once a month!

Why do women wear mekeup? Why do they wear pushup bras? Or compression thingys?

Sometimes a guy can be totally freaked out when he wakes up in the morning and cannot recognize the stranger next to him in bed.

False advertising I say.:laugh:
