Why is make-up now a days so popular? Do females need make up to attract men? We are spending boat loads of cash on tons of make-up. We need to buy the latest tendy colors, or a latest longest wear stuff, but do we really need to? I mean who needs 30 shades of pink lipgloss, or am i just crazy?

Make up isn't about beauty or getting men, its about hiding your true self from other people and from reality. Make up is a crutch for shallow people who need something in there life to make them feel more glamous because they are hiding their true face from the world. Make up companys sit on these feelings that most every woman has, "am i beautiful" and they know that once they release a product and start an ad compaine in magizines and on tv their products will fly off shelfs and bought by those who are superficial or those with low self exteem.
I'm not saying that all woman who buy makeup are superficial or with low self concepts, their not. But if make up companys throw crap in their face about wrinkles, or bags under their eyes, or even highlighting thin lips they will want to try it. Women love to shop and look beautiful, so companys have us women where they want us. We have to break away and quit painting our face with beauty paste and show the world our true self, then something might really happen. We could spend our money on, hmmm underwear and more shoes. Personally I'll take sexy undies over staining makeup anyday.
Your a beautiful girl on the inside, I'm sure you are. You can dominate from your soul not from your face.
Imitation is suicide.

Well, women want to look like they have perfect skin, the perfect color. and 30 shades of pink are an evil that should be stopped. We really dont NEED to but it is a part of almost every society for the female to "doll" herself up. The ancient Egyptians wore a lot of makeup both male and female. Makeup does attract men but not so much as other assets.

You aren't crazy, but anyone who has that many colors is.
I personally wear makeup becuase I like to enhance my own features for my own pleasure. I don't "need" makeup for anything, and not to attract men. Even when I was single, I couldn't care less about attracting them. They either liked me, or they didn't. I wasn't going to chase them or try to make them like me. I grew out of that before high school.
I don't have a lot of shades either. I keep three shades for my eyes and lips, two for blush, and one face. The only time I buy new is when I run out of something.
I know some women collect makeup like it's not going to be on the shelves tomorrow. My guess is that they have no clue what looks good on them, so they just buy everything as soon as it comes out. They are looking to be artificially beautiful because they can't see their own beauty. Yes, not all women are beautiful, but every one has something beautiful about them. Maybe they have great eyes, but all they see is a big nose. I assume that they are insecure, and trying to find confidence in a tube, bottle, or compact.
It's kind of sad when you think about it.

I think it's because women in general are naturally competitive among each other. Some are less fortunate than others who already pretty. Make up can give them hope. Doesn't mean to be somebody you're not, but to boost your confidence to go out there. Pretty people will look even prettier, and less fortunate face people will look better. It's okay to want to be pretty. But being comfy is what is most important. Some people like you doesn't like to much make up, it's totally okay if you're already comfy w/ yourself...and some people feel more comfy and confident with make up. It's a matter of preference^^

Makeup is fun. I believe there is an art to applying it correctly, and most of us want to look better. And not everyone has to keep up with the latest trends. Some women find a classic look and stay with it. No, I guess we don't need it, but shopping for it and wearing it make me feel good. And that's all the reason I need.

It's always been popular! Archaelogists have found makeup in the pyramids of Egypt--and these folks were *buried* with it!
Of course, you don't *need* anything. You can wear whatever you want, and someone else will respond to it. Besides, if you wear as little on your face as possible, it tends to help your complexion.

Why do so many women die their hair, have fake nails and fake boobs?
It's about competing with other women, not about getting the men.
If that's you in the picture I'm sure you get the reason why. (no offense I whish I looked like that)
