Aww, lol. I probably wouldn't have checked either, except that she said that she doesn't like to wear lipstick/eyeliner.

I was gonna say... lady charmer? xD

Announcer in my head: "Now both sides have played the cancer card. No telling how this one will turn out. All I know is it won't be pretty. Well actually, given the basis of the argument, it will be very pretty."

Lol Xedan, "the cancer card"? xD

May I switch my vote? I have noticed that they do look a lot more attractive with makeup.

That's just me being honest.

I think women can look great with make-up, and whilst it's true that I'd rather wake up to a woman of natural beauty, it would mean nothing if she had a personality that didn't match it.

Here's a girl who provides invaluable makeup tips to girls online, she has other videos too if you wanna see the rest.

If you watched the video, you'll see that this girl is really "okay" looking, but manages to make herself rather physically beautiful with refined makeup materials and technique.

Only by posting your replacement vote. The stats are solid.

No makeup. If we brush cheeks it'll get on me and that's an immediate turn-off for me. Especially that stuff that has a makeup kind of smell, seriously makes me want to vomit. Honestly, I've never found a girl any more attractive with makeup, usually not less either but sometimes less. So to me it seems pointless. Besides, looks don't mean a whole lot to me when it comes to developing a romantic relationship. BUT GETTING ICKY STUFF ON ME FROM MY PARTNER DOES (that's not to say I won't tolerate it, but I won't like it either). And their health, I have a gut feeling that stuff isn't good for you.

I don't wear it either. People often make a fuss about it, saying I look ugly without it and giving me excuses to wear it saying "oh there's non-smelly stuff", "then buy some non-toxic" or even more amusing "there's stuff that doesn't even look visible when you're wearing it" (then what is the point?) I ask them: Why do you care? Seriously?

Pfft... ugly. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I don't like it, save perhaps for the most minimal makeup you can get. Some of the shades you see look hideously unnatural. And some of the chemicals, or the fact that you're basically blocking your skin up with powders in cases certainly isn't healthy or good for you.

Yes, some people can be made to look very attractive with makeup, but it's a false image. Accentuating your image is one thing, wearing a false mask is another. And whilst I might find that image attractive, I can't respect the person underneath it for being so shallow and vain as to completely change who they are to conform to expectations from the mass media.

Not everyone is gifted with natural beauty. I can also understand those who were very unlucky in that regard, for whatever reason, wanting to maintain a "normal" appearance. But for those that are "normal", accept who you are.

Beauty is the icing on the cake; give me a plain, intelligent, kind person over a beautiful but shallow and clingy person any day.

And plus, think of all the money you can save on not attempting to reach the false standard of perfection that executives in sports cars and expensive suits want you to try for!

doesn't matter, some look good without, some don't... and some don't look good WITH it...

oh and this qfmft

I put impartial because I've seen women who need makeup to look good, and have seen others that still look hot without it

I'm not really into caking it on though. Just like everything, moderation

-resists the urge to make a dirty comment- :x

I like girls with or without makeup

i love eyeliner and mascara(edit: it is impossible to convey over the internet how much i love this)

anything else, i dont really care

except for lipstick

i despise lipstick

Oh my god, I HATE lipstick. Lip gloss, fine. Chapstick, kosher. But for the love of god, DON'T use lipstick.

I also love when women have a great perfume.

What bothers me about wearing make-up is that it's still LARGELY a female-exclusive thing to do.

Men who wear make-up are downright laughed at. (For the MOST part.)

Screw this question until men and women are equal in this arena.

Otherwise this entire conversation is just demeaning.

Thanks.

How is it demeaning? I understand that it is not equal, but not equal does not always mean better/worse or less/more. Should we avoid talking about dresses, spagetti straps, bras, thongs, high heels, purses, thigh high stockings, finger nail polish, corsets, and leotards because men don't use these items as much as women do? Do you believe men and women should behave the same even though we obviously have different bodies thoughts and desires?

I do not wish to "avoid" these types of subjects, but I do wish they weren't exclusively about females.

In my perfect world everyone would be wearing dresses and painting their nails if they so wished, without fear of judgement.

I don't like that layer of make up that covers practically all of a woman's face. It is terrible looking. Blush looks good if used in the right amount. Too much blush starts to look like clown make up. Lipstick only looks good when it's not obviously there. I think mascera and slutty black and blue eye lid make up are extremely hot and make every woman look better.

i dont like eyeshadow very much

but mascara is hot

really hot

(ie: scene girls, boxxy, etc)

decades of animal testing for cosmetics - not pretty.
