What do people prefer: more or less makeup on girls?

Question

I personally think girls who have the natural look are the prettiest by far. Some girls at my school feel the desire to cake their faces with makeup and their eyes are just...very coated.
How do you prefer makeup on girls?

Answer 1

I recall having heard that a survey was done with men; most men said they don't like women to wear makeup. Yet when they showed them pictures of women with and without makeup, they always preferred the girl with makeup.

If everyone actually had flawless skin, rosy lips and bright eyes, I don't think there'd even been a need for makeup. But, not everyone is so blessed.

I actually was having really bad troubles with my acne a few years ago. I would look at myself in the mirror, cake on a lot of makeup. Then, just about the time I finished, I would look at myself again and think: This is stupid! These cosmetics are not even vaguely realistic in appearance. So then I would wash off my face, look at mkyself again, and at once realize that fake was better than ugly and diseased looking.

The point is that just because you think someone looks bad with a lot of maeup doesn't mean the alternative is necessarily better.

Answer 2

The natural look is the one that often takes the most work. There's a difference between "no makeup", "too much makeup" and the "natural look". "No makeup" doesn't disguise ugly blemishes and acne scars, but natural looking makeup does. In most cases the whole point of wearing makeup is to look like you're hardly wearing any at all.

Answer 3

I just use spf lotion, concealer and a translucent powder in the morning... VERY LITTLE. Just enough to cover up acne scars and a pimple here and there when they come. If I'm having a really bad makeup day. (Like a bad hair day lol) then I might use foundation. But usually it makes me look bad cuz I can't find one light enough cuz im so pale lol. I have a unique skin color I think.
I also use mascara and eyeliner. And burts bees tinted chapstick.
If I get bored I thicken the eyeliner and mascara and do a smoky eye.

Answer 4

some girls look good with little or nothing really when others look good with lots of makeup if applied accordingly. But I still like to think that there is a high percentage that girls go heavy on makeup trying to hide imperfections on the skin..

Answer 5

I think right in the middle, I dont like the overdone look like clown face, but some subtle make-up is nice, mascara, lip gloss or shimmer for regular everyday activities, if it is for a evening out, then apply your make-up accordingly. But most peopls say natural or no make up and think the people they see on TV who are beautiful have no make-up on......guess what even when they look natural, it is make-up. So like I said some but not overdone is nice.

Answer 6

well dear, school girls are naturally pretty, they do not need any makeup at 8 'clock in the morning. a little lip tint will be more than enough.

tell a 40 year old to go to work without make up......get real

Answer 7

My boyfriend says that he likes females while they are organic. while we first all started relationship, i might do my makeup and tell him that my self-self belief at modern-day is going up with it on. He might purely shrug and say he likes me terrific interior the morning, while my hair is a large number, and my eyes are sleepy. i assumed that became into so lovable, yet I on no account believed him earlier. I infrequently placed on any make-as much as on the instant (because of the fact we moved 6 hours away and that i don't do something with my existence yet) and he nonetheless thinks i'm beautiful.

Answer 8

I prefer no make up at all because if you are afraid to be yourself then why be someone else when you can try to come out of your shell and start to clean your face daily. But my daughters like to wear makeup because they think it gives them a unique look and I told them you are the one who is unique the makeup doesn't make you unique its just the way you look in the mirror because you think the makeup will make you look pretty but it makes you look worse because then you BREAK OUT! Them girls wear makeup so much they forget to take it off or put on a diff. coating so they break out! But since they always have it on they never really know if they are BREAKING OUT because they are too busy with makeup. There was this girl named Jamie at my daughters school and before P.E. she puts on heavy makeup and my daughter wanted to know why and she asked her and she said because she was so wound up with makeup she just lets the makeup control her.

Answer 9

The key to makeup is to add color to your face without making people thing "wow, that girl is wearing makeup" A girls should wear just enough to acheive the look she wants to display her face without displaying the makeup itself.

Answer 10

of course natural-looking makeup is better, when a girl has so many layers of makeup on the face, once she washes it all off she probably looks like a whoole new different person and thats SCARY, its like ..."Shyoot! who are u?!"
