Do you prefer women who wear make-up, or go natural?

I'm a 20 year old female and have myself, never worn make-up. Not because I think I don't need it, I just don't.

I guess its partly that I'm lazy, would never find the time every morning, as well as I simply feel I could put my time to better use. Not to mention the cost of the stuff, and the fact I can't put things anywhere near my eyes due to a bad blink reflex!

My sister and mum have always tried getting me to wear it. They've forced me to wear it for certain formal or family occassions but a few years ago I drew the line and said no.

The stuff always felt so weird on my face. Like a layer of smut you could just wipe with your finger. I could always 'feel' it on me and every instinct screamed at me to get it off. It made me feel really uncomfortable to be around people.

My ex didn't have a problem with the fact I never wore it, and my current boyfriend loves the fact I don't wear it. But I'm admittedly not the best looking. My skin can have bad days, just like anyone else's, and I'm naturally fair so my features aren't very defined.

What do you think straight guys, or gay gals? Does the amount of makeup a girl wears affect how attracted to her you might be?

    I would always prefer no make up. To me when woman are wearing make looks like Artificial Barbie Dolls. Just seem really unnatural.

    I just love when i see my GF without make up. She smells nice and fresh. Her natural sent to me is more refreshing than the perfume she wears.

    One thing about wearing lots of makeup all the time, is people get used to seeing you like that, so any time you don't wear it, you look like a ghost...
    That's why I think it's better to use little or none, for day to day stuff.
    But every now and then a bit of makeup, used subtley can really enhance your appearance. And if you save it for special occasions it has more effect.

    But generally, less is more. And if in doubt, go without.

    Generally prefer without. When used with great discretion it can look good, but the ideal should be to make it look like you're not wearing any.

    It depends on the person but generally I prefer no makeup.
    The natural, comfortable look (no makeup, messy hair, comfy clothes) is super sexy to me & luckily for me my missus wears it well! : )

      Couldn't agree more. I'm glad someone shares the same view. :)

    I've never met a woman who could improve her looks by painting her face up like some kind of clown. Light or heavy, there's just no improving on nature.

  • Make up is for making people look better, so generally it's gonna make the wearer look better. Some people look worse with make up but they're the exception.

    That said, make up being overused is far worse than no make up at all. I think in todays world that's lost on some people. Lol.

    Where I live there are some Mexican bitchs that shave off their eyebrows and paint them back on, literally. I find it DISGUSTING but then again I'm not a Filthy Mexican. I'm white and prefer my women with light to no make-up. I will not date a chick with a Skrillex haircut.

      I've always thought they just looked like big black slugs draped across a forehead to me.

      How some people find that concept attractive, I'll never understand.

      Still, each to their own aye?

        Pretty much for the most part. But I think they should go all the way and shave their heads and wear a wig.

    medium amount of makeup is what I like. That is what I wear too. although I probably should wear more.

    I heard a good joke a while back and it's good because there's a lot of truth to it.

    Why do women wear so much makeup and perfume?

    Because they're ugly and they stink.

    I like it best when it looks as if the woman does not wear any make up. Whether she actually doesn't wear any or is just applying it very skillfully and subtly is really of no significance.

    I wear light makeup because I have melasma and covering it up makes me feel better about myself. I don't think anybody looks good like Peg Bundy( I also dislike lots of hair product) . Wearing too much can make a woman look like a prostitute or Tim Curry from that drag movie:/

    i think it depends on you actually, if you want immediate attention or not. i've seen females with no make up and they look very plain and my first thought is they're not attractive, but when i interact with them and they have a great personality, they can be very attractive to me! But no make up, look plain or ugly and act like a bitch FORGET IT!

    It depends on what the girls have to start with. Some girls are extremely hideous and NEED makeup and lots of it. Some dont need much at all, but those are usually models. Almost all girls can benefit from makeup done the right way. Makeup done poorly is as bad as being naturally ugly. Most girls should wear a fair amount of makeup everyday.

        True, and they look good. But they have it done professionally
