Guys, do you prefer girls with light makeup or no makeup at all?

[danii363]

No make up (left image)

Light make up (right image)

[UnknownReflection]

I prefer no makeup. I salute the natural look. But i am fine with light makeup or heavier examples as well. It's all about the girl's choice and comfort. But if i want to choose my own preference. I'd say nothing can beat natural appearance and natural fragrance. We don't need luxurious chemicals and items in order to look good. However, makeups at any type would be fine if it occurs periodically.

The comparison of the photos that usually people or sources attend to show and display the differences between no makeup state with makeup states are so cheeky and sometimes playful. The makeup here is not light. There is a tone of built up and foundation.

In this picture. The girl is suffering from an unhealthy skin. Which could be a tone of reasons. It could be blood related, kidney related (which both can be dealt by nutrition) so lack of necessary nutrients and vitamins or lack of sleep. The point is, if we take care of our body and appearance properly as much as possible. We don't have to cover ourselves with makeup and think this is better. The girl has no issue in her appearance. She's naturally beautiful as all the ladies i'd dare to say as i believe everyone have their own type of beauty. But there is a disorder on the skin which that is effecting the overall quality of the look. Proper care makes everything look at it's best while no makeup would be required to cover it up. On the other hand, many of such skin marks, acne, redness, dryness and pressurized skin undertones are commonly a cause of excessive usage of makeups itself. If you use makeups moderately. Periodically. Wash it up in time and properly at the same time. The skin and the poor sensitive face won't be effected strongly by a tone of chemicals. That's where we can start to embrace natural beauty. Use makeup moderately, take care of your health. Don't destroy your natural appearance. Then embrace it with proud and happiness.

attractiveness doesn't depend on makeup... but confidence... you will always look attractive when you will be confident

[toefoo]

That has nothing to do with the post, and your reply is just feel good bs. The only reason people voted for the left one is the connotation of "no make" with "natural"

[taleets]

guys really don't know what makeup looks like lol. you could be wearing foundation and powder and filled in your brows and mascara and they would think it was all natural lol. from my own personal experience though, every time i am glammed i get 500 times more attention than i would if i wasn't glam. and by glam i mean the lashes, the contour, the tarte shape tape in super light color, the cut crease, the liquid lipstick, the highlight, really all that shit. every time i step out like that i have guys hitting on me left and right. i will say a majority of them are athletes though so i'm not really speaking on the nerdy bookworm type of dude ( not that there is anything wrong with them!).

[LittleSally]

I wouldn't exactly call that light... that's medium at best... (Light makeup presumes you mean minimal...)

I say they prefer light makeup:
ell.h-cdn.co/.../...le-w3ll-people-tutorial-00.jpg

[lumos]

Wow look at these numbers! 65% prefer the one with light makeup. Suck it, guys who claim you're all about women being natural.

[danii363]

Funny thing is that most man here doesn't even know that dark circles are a natural thing on woman's skin. They think it's related to bad health or lack of sleep. This shows that they don't even know what "no makeup" looks like.

[Nycterelis]

I think you're both right. A lot of people seem to think that everyone has a prefect complexion, when that's just not true at all. Personally though, I like makeup as long as it's done well. I'm a fan of lip stains over lip glosses or lipsticks though. Or maybe it is a lipstick. The kind that won't come off on a glass. ;)

[UnknownReflection]

The funny thing is you don't know the differences between Healthy dark circle and an Unhealthy dark circle. There is a limit in between of these lines.

[danii363]

@UnknownReflection not in the case of this picture, her dark circles seems natural.

[UnknownReflection]

It's really odd that you can define this as natural. I hope your experience expands more. I firmly doubt even you as a lady have such tone of circles. If you do. I would urge to check it professionally so you realize you're doing it wrong. The undertone in the picture is too dark. Too red. A healthy undamaged under eye circle must be little pink or for some genetically darker. But not this. This is almost like a wound. And i can easily sense as you touch it, it would feel sore. The obvious part is the circle is two-colored. Half is normal. A very moderate grey-dark circle. The other part is too red and pressurized and feels sore. Even if you look at the left eye. The red parts feels to be puffier than the rest of the area. It's more like a bruise. This is not a healthy circle. (Maybe some individuals are like this genetically) but i am sure this is not a common healthy eye circle. And i would request you to explore the subject even more in order to understand the differences better.

[lumos]

@Nycterelis some regular lipsticks also don't come off, depends on the formula and how it dries :)

@UnknownReflection I agree with @danii363 . My dark circles sometimes look crazy, even though I've eaten healthy and gotten like 9 hours of sleep. I'm just a pale girl, so the discoloration/dark circles under my eyes are pretty intense. Nothing I can do about that, except cover it with makeup if I feel like it.

[UnknownReflection]

@lumos As i have mentioned. Some individuals can have darker shades genetically. But the girl in the picture is not that case. Which this is where the topic started to be. I bet if i see your circles. It's in a better shape, much better than the girl in the image. Maybe it's only matter of bad lightening of the picture. Because i am aware of the type of circle you are talking about. You're on spot of a very personal experience of mine now. My girlfriend is pale too. And sometimes (Specially right after waking up) the circle is at the highest tensity. But the circle not just on my girlfriend but in every women i have paid attention to, it attends to look soft and settled. In this image, the soreness of the skin and how it can be scratchy when you touch it is screaming out.

So it could a rare genetic situation. Bad lightening of the image. But commonly the image is not a valid representation of a normal-Healthy-None-Makeup face.

[Nycterelis]

The circles are not symmetrical which tell me they have little to do with lack of sleep, nutrition, or drugs. source: that used to be me.

[Soremain]

That comment didn't make any sense at all. "Suck it guys who claim you're all about women being natural".. Well the 36% are the ones that are "all about women being natural".. not the 65%. If I prefer the left one, but majority the right one. How am I wrong or lying?

[sawno]

We never lied about loving the all natural look though. We just preffer the one achieved trough makeup ;).
I am smart enough to know that the natural look i love most is achieved trough makeup, all we are saying is that we preffer a natural makeup look as supposed to fake blushes with bright red lips and blue eye shadow.

[Nycterelis]

@sawno speak for yourself :P I like makeup. I'd wear it myself if I thought it would improve my appearance to women. I'm also vain as fuck though.

[lumos]

@UnknownReflection you're exaggerating and I find it weird that you're speaking on this girl's behalf regarding her health. Just don't, lol.

@Soremain the comment was more so directed at the men who generalize and say "us guys like natural women", when clearly the majority don't according to this poll, and prefer a little makeup.

@sawno right, which is why it grinds my gears when some guys claim that men aren't shallow or whatever, and that women care more about guys' looks than vice versa. Nuh-uh, y'all apparently don't like us as much when we're natural but we like your natural faces 100%, and I'm pretty sure no woman expects guys to wear makeup. And then some of you have the guts to straight up lie about it lol.

[Nycterelis]

@lumos Mmm what about if you've never seen a guy's face without his beard before?

[lumos]

@Nycterelis I literally could not give less of a shit about beards?

[Nycterelis]

No I mean if you've never seen his face because of it then he decides to shave it... and suddenly quazimodo

[sawno]

I dont entirely agree lumos, there are a lot of girls who look pretty natural but as a gender you have decited to artificially compete by using makeup. Its not our fault if the efforts pay off. Like i said we preffer the natural look but that doesn't mean we preffer natural. It doesn't mean we dislike natural either. I still take fully natural over plastic.

[lumos]

@Nycterelis if I'm already attracted to him, beard or no beard doesn't make a difference. I know that guys can look very different without their beard but like I said, I don't care?

@sawno I don't think women collectively decided to just start slapping shit onto our faces. Like with any other trend/expectation, it was mostly created by the market. At least the kind of makeup we know of today. Companies of beauty producs always play with people's insecurities and make people feel like they need these products, even if they don't. Because money. And that's how it has turned into a societal expectation for women to wear makeup. Many people would consider makeup-free women uglier, less professional and unhealthier than their makeup-wearing counterparts. It's kinda hard to be liberated from a societal expectation like that.

[SomeGuy37]

I prefer her as she is, and If I can't like, or lover HER, as she is, isn't make-up, clothes, and all that just a BIG LIE?
I'm more focused on the person, that her appearance, her weight, breast size, and so on. I like her, for HER, and that is what I WANT: HER, without all kinds of fake, phony BS! If you can't love yourself, and need to enhance yourself with paint, clothes, labels and LIES, you can never truly be happy, because you will always be afraid that someone sees 'behind that mask' that you use to hide the real person.
I would rather know the real person, with whatever flaws she might think she has, but I don't notice, because I care about her.
call me what you will, A Romantic, a fool, or whatever. Just how I feel about it.

[aicarg]

I was disappointed and disgusted to see a guy thumbs down my opinion to this question, but then I read your opinion! WOW! If only men in my area and around my age shared the same views and values of beauty as you do! I really enjoyed reading your answer and had my heart feel full to hear that there are men like you who appreciate true beauty and remind us young ladies what it's all about to love our natural selves! THANK YOU! *hugs*

[SomeGuy37]

@aicarg Sorry to hear that some of my gender keep showing how silly, and foolish they are!! I gave you a Thumbs up, of course!!
Things change, so slowly, and I can't imagine all the sht that you ladies endure, because so many of my gender are so condescending, and so focused on these BS ideals of women that they see in PORN!! They don't really know, AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL ladies, like you, because they have these stupid ideas in their heads, that women need to be like VS models, or PORN models, to be 'sexy' or attractive!
I never got hooked into that 'PORN Drug' thing, and I had my Grandma, and Aunts, and Great Aunts, that taught me, from very early on, how to respect women, and treat them properly!
Once again, I am SO SORRY, for all the IDIOTS of my gender, that don't appreciate you, and see the Natural Beauty that I love and admire! :)

[aicarg]

@SomGuy37 Thank goodness for the amazing women that have taught you well in the way a man should view and value women! Props to them! 👊 I was darn blessed to have men who raised me in not taking shit from guys who couldn't accept me for my freckles, narrow and brown eyes (which I hated as a kid); them not knowing a thing about how to apply make up may have also forced me to learn to love myself lol But anyhoo, on behalf of women, THANK YOU for the kind words sir! 🙂

[SomeGuy37]

@aicarg Thank you, but no need to call me 'Sir'!! Sir's wear ties, and it chokes off the oxygen to their brain, hence the BAD decisions among CEOs!!

[Elarra]

I don't think guys care as much as we women think they do. Most guys I know just want you to look natural, which you can do with or without make up. So long as you still look like a person and not a clown, they don't care.

[Ankscool]

yeah! you are right our attention was always on boobs and asses not makeup

[saudiguy1]

Light make up, humans were not born perfect. They are bound to have minor flaws, and if they choose to wear makeup to hide those flaws, then they should be allowed to do so.

[DancingGirl]

Exactly!

[1988fido]

These 2 best options.

I don't like heavy make up.

Light make up and no make up are the best.

Usually light make up look amazing coz it shows the girl care about her etc..

But trust me the pretty girl look the prettiest without make up. But we subconsciously will see light make up better even if she looked better without make up :), coz we think she take care of her looks etc...

Anyway usually light make up look amazing coz its like taking very tasteful chocolate and gift wrap it.

[PowerPrincess]

Here's the thing: On THIS woman, who is naturally extremely good looking, she can go without perfectly fine. For those of us with bad skin or blemishes then the answer is always going to be makeup.

[vishna]

I like natural beauty, there's something around slight hyper pigmentation around the eyes or olive/tan skin that's really pretty to me.
But I also like going out with concealer on :) it makes you look more awake to not have that discoloration. So, light make up too.

If I was going out to try and woo a guy, I'd do a light base and simple eyes and lips-so, B, light make up.

[simonthecat]

This seems reasonable

[GracefulAscension]

I like her as she is.

To be honest, with some light make up she may attract more gorgeous looking guys. These guys may equally lack in substance, personality and other kinds of attractiveness.

I like both personally. In certain social settings, you might be more likely to talk with her while she's wearing backup, while at other places, like the zoo, you would not care. I think men in Western society are socially conditioned to find women wearing light make up attractive. Our solution to appreciating natural beauty would be a rewiring of the male brain.

[BrigadierGeneralLove]

Honestly, I love a woman with no make-up. I tell my wife and she scoffs, but it suggests an intimacy with another person. Guys who only want to see the woman last thing at night and not first thing in the morning aren't thinking things through as it were :/ Remember, the expression isn't "beauty is only make-up deep"

[Alyssa1111]

i will forever cake my face lol
im still confident in my natural face but i wanna feel and look glam and i wanna be creative. And fuck what guys think lmao

[taleets]

same girl same

[Alyssa1111]

@taleets ayyeee

[aicarg]

A man who doesn't love and prefer a lady in her natural state where he's able to love her imperfections and all is not a man who is able to appreciate true beauty.

[Yumix]

I think light natural makeup can look the best... but I rather have without than too much makeup

[Yumix]

on that pic it's really just her eyes... if she wouldn't look like she had 2 days without sleep then I'd actually prefer the left one. or on the right if you remove the fake blush... I hate that

[danii363]

The thing is that most girls have dark circles under their eyes when they are with absolutely no makeup. It's not because they didn't sleep well, it's a natural feature of their faces.

[Yumix]

it was just an explanation how it looks. but I don't think this strong is common on most girls... a bit yes but not this much.

[danii363]

Yeah, in this case it's a bit worse.

[Account]

Lol! I am going to bookmark this and show it to the guys who claim that they prefer it when women are "oh so natural"

We should also take into consideration that this is a naturally attractive girl. Imagine how the results would be if the girl was average or less average...

Side note: How the heck did she manage create the illusion of her nose being so much thinner? I am impressed by her skills.

[MaxxiBonn]

While I agree most men don't know how much make up goes into the natural look, I think they sort of understand. And I also think they like both a natural face and a done up face, but it depends on the occasion and how well applied the done up make up is.
Everyday coffee date = light make up.
Classy ass dinner = classy ass cake face.

[Browneye57]

A girl needs to make herself look pretty. If it's done right the guys don't even know what she did.

[Zorax]

I prefer naturally beautiful girls who need no makeup at all.
However, such girls are quite rare unfortunately, so a little bit of natural looking makeup is ok (face power, foundation, concealer).
I don't like lipsticks, blushers, mascara, nail polish and other stuff like that.

[dubclay]

lol ur silly

[BabyAsia]

whaaaat? I can't 🤐

[Zorax]

@dubclay Well I think you're silly :P

[Zorax]

@BabyAsia You can't what?

[BabyAsia]

not wear nail polish for the rest of my life. I love changing the color to match my mood

[Zorax]

@BabyAsia But mood changes every day, you are wasting too much money on nail polish ;)

[BabyAsia]

I am 😶

[Mr_Knowitall]

I am not a big fun of make up - actually I'm usually against it because it is either over-used or just used to make something that is not real. In your case the "light"make up is very basic and not really made to contrast colors or to add anything, it's merely a cover and it looks wonderful. can't see why not.

[justin224]

obviously, the girl on the right is prettier at first glance, but everything depends on the case. if you look great without makeup, you shouldn't ever put any on, but if a little does a lot for you and makes you happy, then go for it

[ReginaVD]

I prefer whatever my girlfriend feels comfortable with. I usually wear light makeup but some days I do a full beat, just because I feel like it. My girlfriend should be able to do the same thing. It all comes off at the end of the day

[COCOCHANEL]

somehow she looks older in the makeup pic. her eyes look smaller too.

[masterotaku]

both pictures are of an attractive woman. one clearly wearing makeup, one not.

I prefer girls... do whatever the fuck they want lol. if I'm attracted I am... if I'm not I'm not.

I think most men would agree that makeup seems to matter a lot more to women and their female peers than it does to men. :-P
