There is no doubt, girls look much better WITHOUT makeup. Natural girls are much more attractive then girls who cover themselves in makeup and douse themselves with perfume.

Some do .. some dont..
From what I've seen, only older and well advised women know what looks good with makeup, the dress etc. The rest believe their girlfriends or some some girlie mag is an authority on the subject but they really have no idea...
Girls, if you wanna look good, ask a guy !

It really depends on the girl, as in how pale her skin is etc., I wouldn't find her attractive if she was looking like death warmed up. Having said that, I can't stand, as a man, seeing girls caked in make-up, making them represent a cross between an oompa-loompa and a can of Fanta. If a girl carries off no make-up at all, that's incredibly sexy because she's natural. I like natural.

Attraction can take place either way. I've been attracted to women that aren't wearing any makeup at all, just as often as those who do. The most important thing to remember is to not hide under the makeup. Highlight your own beauty and you won't be misrepresenting yourself. Middle of the road, is the best way to go if you enjoy wearing makeup.

My short answer: With OUT, or with but very MINIMAL

It depends how YOU want to come across as.
Generally, girls who often wear makeup are the high maintenance, princess-like, sex appealing type. The Pros for this is sex appeal. You get quick attention. You MIGHT** appear to look like a person who is more feminine, who takes care of herself more.
The Cons is that you might be seen as high maintenance, have too much expectation, superficial, promiscuous, "cheap/trashy."

As for the girls who DO NOT wear make up. The Pros: you may be seen as down to earth, sincere, conservative, low maintenance. The cons: the guy might think you are a tomboy or not feminine enough, you may not be highlighting all of your beauty enough, so you'll appear less attractive than you should be.

But the bottom line is that it depends for every individual girl. Some look great with make up on and not so great without it. Some look great without make up and terrible with make up on. However, I generally think a girl should use minimal make up. MOST do look good with just a little on. The specifics: for shadow eye shadow, most girls enhance their eyes with this. I've seen some girls using unnatural colors, green, blue, etc, instead of the natural which is brown or a darker tone. Unnatural colors for eye shadow often make the girl look trash or unattractive. I suggest using eye shadow to a minimum and with natural color only. As for lipstick, stick to the natural/lighter colors. Don't use the black/dark colors unless you want to come across as a person who hates life. As for your eye brow, just keep it at a medium thickness and not draw it to thin.
I hope my this helps.

I agree with the "as little as possible". Don't over do it, that just looks fake, and is usually a turn off.

Personally, I think girls are more beautiful without makeup.as long as they are not pale skinned. I'm sorry but girls who are really white. Please sunbath or something. I'm not saying y'all need to be tanned. But don't be as white as snow.

lizsh So what's wrong with being pale? And tanning is basically committing slow suicide, so thanks for wishing that on all pale skinned girls, including myself. - More than a year ago
Answerer Yeash grl. its just an answer. its the type of women I like (not paled) that's it.
Bsides, there's always spray tan lol jk don't shoot me down. anyway I'm sorry but that's my opinion. - More than a year ago
cheerangelcharity I used to think that I would only be considered attractive if I had a tan - so sometimes either I would fake it or lay outside as much as I can. But those didn't really work because I'm naturally very pale so even a lot of tanning didn't do much. Now I've realized that I already look fine even with having pale skin and a lot of people agree. Moving to Minnesota helped where most other white people are pale but beauty comes in all different colors. Tanning beds and too much sun is dangerous. - 11 months ago
truejbig Haha sorry but if you ever come up to the northeast, especially new england, that is all you will find! Actually pretty much anyone who experiences actual winters will be mad pale, since we only get the chance to tan in the late spring and summer. also how about this ultimatum? would you prefer white and pale or red and burnt? - 26 days ago

Depends. I like things natural (meaning not phony)... but personally a little make-up is just as nice as no make-up.

But what really catches my attention is personality. Not looks. I might go "Hey she's kinda cute!" to myself at 1st... but after talking to her after a few minutes, it's what's coming out of her mouth & what's between her ears that keeps me interested.

But like I said... it's when she comes off as being more natural is when I find her to be more attractive.

With as little make up as possible and look good.

The goal should be as close to a natural hot girl-next-door look (makeup wise) as possible.

Not everyone likes this, but it is the most popular among most guys (playboy strives to have their models look this way).

Well to me I guess depends on her.. I mean if she has flaws like an odd nose for example she might wanna add little eye shadow here and there mascara to make the attention on her eyes..but if she has a pretty face then she shouldnt hide it by make up.. specialy if the gurl has no idea how to do her make up ..some gurls do need a SERIOUS FOUNDATION layer on thier skin otherwise you can't look at them.. it all depends on HER and how she looks like with and without make up.

Honestly I guess gurls should ALWAYS do both I mean.. don't bore your guy with NO MAKE UP everday, even if he likes it...sometimes you can put a little make up on and still look cute.. id say go with BOTH

In my opinion, I think it's okay for girls to wear makeup, and they can look really good with it, as long as they don't over-do it. Make-up should be used to accent your natural features... not help you play dress up and completely change the way you look. I only wear a little bit of make-up, and by accenting my favorite features, it helps me feel better about myself. But most of the time, I don't wear make-up. It's too much work.

I wear enough make-up to make myself feel confident. Never overdo it. My boyfriend was dancing with a girl at our school prom the other day, and after he'd finished we went up to the bar and I pointed out that he had a foundation mark on his shoulder and he went "Arrrgh! Why does she need to wear so much foundation!" I replied "Aren't you lucky my foundation doesn't rub on you! =P" to which he said "I know, but you clearly don't need as much as her - you're lovely without all that.."

^^ No guy wants a horrible mark on his clothes! Keep it plain and natural - and the real beauty will shine through.

I think guys are pretty much just indifferent to makeup with or without unless it’s the first thing they notice about the girl’s face (In that case, it would be wayyy too much).

To us, because we are so familiar with our faces, makeup causes us to undergo a huge transformation.
For example, I have a very slightly asymmetrical jaw, and I never noticed it until I was 13 and got braces and my orthodontist brought it up. Now, ever since I was “enlightened” to this imperfection, I notice it in EVERY single picture I see of myself. I’ve told other people about it, and they swear that they can’t see anything. But it still bothers me.

Same thing with makeup. We keep covering up the same flaws that no one besides ourselves really notices, and are afraid to leave the house without mascara because we feel it makes us look “so much better.” Seriously, I have known girls who refused to go running in the dead of night in their neighborhood without eyeliner! Another friend of mine bought like more than $50 worth of special waterproof makeup to wear to the beach because she hates how she looks without it. Guys (with a few exceptions) don’t wear makeup or feel the need to wear it because they have grown accustomed to the way they look without it. Makeup really can be an addiction! The more you wear it, the more you are dependent on it. The truth is, aside from concealing pimples etc. and maybe adding a little dazzle, makeup doesn’t make a girl look BETTER, just DIFFERENT.

I don’t wear makeup all the time. When I do, it’s just enough to make me look like I do at my best without it. I’ll hide that occasional pimple, add a little color to my cheeks, and wear clear lip balm. If that’s not enough, then I’ll add a tiny bit of feathery mascara (not black for me; brown) That way I avoid the whole “omgsh she looks like a different person without her makeup!” dilemma.

I think this is honestly what most guys prefer, and I can’t think of a better way to explain the “why” of it. I hope this was helpful!

JeVousAime The same thing happened to me!

And I hate them. =/ I wish people wouldn't highlight imperfections. - 10 months ago

I don't wear any make-up. I used to want to but when I was younger my dad told me that I couldn't haha. I was kind of upset then, but I am glad now. I mean I will wear make-up for a big dance, like prom, or something. I think girls look fake when they wear too much and after awhile it starts to make the girl age/look older, which is not in a good way!

Especially since this is what I read from guys anyways, minimal make-up is best. Girls with a lot of it may look like they get hit on and "liked" a lot but the reality is that guys don't like all that. That's why I make my foundation look like it's not even there but still cover my undereye circles, red skin, and blemishes, put on just a little blush, usually only wear earth tone eyeshadows and either very little eyeliner and mascara or none at all, and sheer lipcolor.

I hate make up if it's used everyday out of habit and insecurity. It's okay occasionally, but I think the natural look is the best. It makes me feel better about myself and everyone around me always compliments me and tells me that they think it's great that I don't need or want to wear it.

When you look in the mirror, nothing should look powdery/creamy, everything should be smooth against your skin. Eyeliner should be right on your lash line, which is really hard. No clumpy mascara or too-bright colors.
