Make up is the right of a woman like are so many other things so never really thought about it as to which country's women wear most make up.

I have come across in some random discussion a while ago that it's Latin American women but I think it's Middle East (UAE more specifically) where women wear most make up ;-) whichever way under the hijab one can't make out whether they're wearing make up or not & it's prohibited to lift the veil in public or in presence of men :-D

[zombiebabe]

lol;P

[HandsomeRaj]

:-D but fact ;-)

[zombiebabe]

yeah;P

[AshBrown]

Looks like you concur with me.

[HandsomeRaj]

Oh yes I do @AshBrown :-) Just read your opinion lol :-D I've traveled around quite a bit since my teens and I've noticed this for a fact though :-)

[Maazin]

Have not come across single woman who wouldn't want to wear makeup. Be it graduation or funerals' they just wanna do it no matter what occasion.

[zombiebabe]

hmmmm

[BuchitaBuchys]

I don't wear makeup though :(
I don't like to nor want to. I've only worn makeup 4x in my life! lol And only then because my friends begged me to and they did it.
I don't even wear it to go clubbing, going out, not with my bf, not even for "special occasions". I'll go to a funeral or wedding with my natural face. I don't even wear lip gloss, only Chapstick and that's only because I don't like dry winter lips.
So @Maazin, you have come across a woman who not only wouldn't want to wear makeup, but doesn't either. :p
I don't have the patience to do that everyday lol Kudos to the women who do, some like nice, but some chicks get addicted to it. My face isn't perfect, but I don't feel the need to cake it with foundation, lip gloss, lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow. Not even for going out or special occasions. :x

[Maazin]

@BuchitaBuchys Sounds awesome !! You're the Man :P ' Miss !! xD

[BuchitaBuchys]

Lol so now not wearing makeup makes me manly? Haha jk jk :)

[Maazin]

I never say manly. I meant "You're the man" = you're on top! ~ you're untouchable! ~ you're great! ~ you're outstanding! ~ you're the best at what you do!

[MaskedSanity]

When I lived in eastern Europe, I thought girls wore too much make up.

Since I moved to the UK, I was shocked to see just how much English girls wear and it's always overdone and extremely tacky.

- sharpie eyebrows
- face caked with foundation
- fake lashes that are very obvious
- raccoon eyes

If you look up this show called The Only Way Is Essex - that's a good example of what average girls in the UK make themselves look like.

[zombiebabe]

UK? okay will check this out

[mutedaisy]

This I why I can't decide, because I see that here, but don't visit the uk much.

[MaskedSanity]

@mutedaisy

See, I've never been to USA, so I can't really choose. But the bad makeup is something I noticed almost instantly when I got off the plane 3 years ago, haha.

[kangy]

i just checked out The Only Way Is Essex , average girls wear that much?

[MaskedSanity]

@kangy

Yep, a lot do, it's pretty hideous. It's not even the amount that's bad as much as how badly and unskillfully it's applied.
Some put on a lot of makeup, but if it's done properly - it still looks decent.

[kangy]

interesting, i would observe when i visit UK next time :D

[COCOCHANEL]

that's odd. i would think that the girls in the uk would have more skills considering that MAC originted there

[MaskedSanity]

@COCOCHANEL

You'd also expect the English to be able to speak/type in their own language better too, but I keep getting asked to spell check CVs and such and I'm a bloody foreigner, lol.

[COCOCHANEL]

i don't know but makeup is so important in japan. it's a woman's duty to look presentable when in front of others and especially in front of her man. even when at home.

during sports is excusable.

[zombiebabe]

yeah i've heard that women in Japan wear a lot of makeup
www.world104.com/.../IMG_3294.jpg

[COCOCHANEL]

yes most girls wear lashes and foundation and stuff everyday. many do contouring/highlighting.

[zombiebabe]

but it takes a lot of time

[COCOCHANEL]

yeah that's why i don't do it. most days i barely have enough time to apply uv primer. if i feel like it i'll put lashes on later. i only wear foundation for photoshoots.

[zombiebabe]

so you wear minimum makeup?

[COCOCHANEL]

yes, i would wear more if i didn't have sensitive skin

[COCOCHANEL]

and if i had the time and the skills

[misscoffeehead]

Asian countries.. Forsho

[zombiebabe]

hmmm

[misscoffeehead]

Women who are my colour that are Asian want white skin (because of the celebrities etc) you should see how much makeup is put on at Asian weddings (as in Cambodia/thailand etc) you can paint your whole house with that make up alone

[zombiebabe]

woah! that's a lot of makeup lol

[misscoffeehead]

Lol at two people down voting me 😆
thanks for MH lovely 😏

[zombiebabe]

you're welcomed:)

[HandsomeRaj]

You shouldn't worry about downvotes. They are a feature with no meaning (atleast till now that I can gather). End of the day it's about perception and people get offended for little or no reason especially in texts like out here :-)

[misscoffeehead]

@HandsomeRaj thank you for your input.. I understand people get quite offended so easily.. Each to their own

[justbeinghonest]

I've met people from different countries and it really depends on each person. You can't say a country.
All I can say is all those girls with a ton of makeup are crazy...

[zombiebabe]

lool

[AshBrown]

Middle Eastern women. Specially the ones you see in UAE. They could be locals but a lot are from outside. Gosh !! Those lip liners are DARK !!

[zombiebabe]

yeah dark lip liners is a big NO when it comes to makeup

[AshBrown]

Yeah - and I lives in UAE for a few years and always used to wonder about those dark lip liners and the heavy paint job on the lips.

[miss_emerald]

Japan by far, and I don't mean just the geisha makeup. I mean that the pop culture of Japan is so artistic, creative, and unique. The makeup trends there I think go past everyone else.

[DodgersGM]

On a day to day basis I'd guess probably USA or another one of the G8 countries. Makeup costs a lot of money, after all.

[zombiebabe]

yup true ! quality makeup is costly

[Jerusha]

Khaliji Arabs. They don't just wear a lot of it, they wear it as tastelessly as they can. Search in google

[zombiebabe]

damn! i've just google it... its too much eye makeup!!

[Jerusha]

Yeah.. >.<

[zombiebabe]

yeah

[DameNoire]

Right:)

[Wondorous]

The Middle East? Isn't that where perfect eye-liner comes from? All humble for God with perfect eye make-up lol

[zombiebabe]

makes sense

[Pingju]

I don't know, maybe USA because I see so many female GAGers wear much more make-up than I do. Haha :)

[kangy]

i prefer to show the real me so that people won't get shocked when one day i go without :P

[Pingju]

@kangy:you3 ren gei wo kou fen ya! :D

[kangy]

wo gei ni jia fen. wo jiu zhi dao yi ding hui kou fen, ying wei zhe li tai duo mei guo ren le hahah

[Pingju]

@kangy Haha, xie xie ni. Zhe li de ren xi huan ting jia hua wo ye mei ban fa :P Tan bai shuo, ni na xie zhao pian dou hen zi ran, wo bu xi huan 浓妆艳抹, hěn "塑料" :P

[kangy]

dui ta men hen xi huan zhi ji pian zhi ji...:D i think same as u wo bu xi huan 浓妆艳抹

[COCOCHANEL]

they may just do it to look nice in pics. that's what i do anyway.

[findingdreamland]

I think USA. But there are really good stuff there and it is not visible a lot.

[kangy]

hard to tell actually
i only know i dont like make up :P

[zombiebabe]

hahaha too much makeup kills makeup;P

[kangy]

not only that it kill skin too :D

[zombiebabe]

yup.. that's why we should let our skin breath too:D

[Pingju]

NÎ de make-up bî qí tã de GAGer shăo hěn duõ. Hěn hăo :)

[Pingju]

qí tā de GAGers*

[kangy]

@pingju ni kan dao wo de zhao pian, zhi you yi zhang shi you make up de. :P

[Pingju]

Wow, na geng hao! 素颜 :D

[DameNoire]

I have never seen anything like Gulf countries women's exaggerated make up.
They turn to monsters many times.

[Klaatu51]

females in Thessaloniki from Greece, they're like clowns

[zombiebabe]

oh... wasn't aware than women from Greece wear a lot of makeup

[Seriousness]

i think western countries cause Asian women have the nicest skin bareface. :) not full of pimples

[kangy]

Ohemgee? Yes I dont Asian women uses that much

[Seriousness]

yep haha. just telling the truth, pointing out what is obvious. :)

[kangy]

I agreed too :)

[Seriousness]

i think it's mainly because of their diet and skin care. i'm Asian but i'm not saying i have the nicest skin haha. i think you have nice skin kangy ;)

[crayven]

Any OSCE country i am guessing. probably due to cost? I dunno, i'd have to see women from every country to make an accurate assessment.

[dev765]

Not sure but I heard women from Russia wear tons of makeup.

[zombiebabe]

from Russia?

[performerwannabe]

I think they do..

[tOi_sOldier]

i don't like girls with make up :S i find them more attractive without make up

[zombiebabe]

cool

[YouAholic]

I never get the point when someone says that

[tOi_sOldier]

well the point is i prefer natural beauty or u know simple girls even girls without lipsticks attract me more

[mutedaisy]

Definitely between the uk and the usa.

[zombiebabe]

hmmm okay

[NotTheMomma]

Japan perhaps? Those Kabuki wear quite a bit! :P

[zombiebabe]

yeah..
media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...de546c6a4bbe.jpg

[NotTheMomma]

Normally though, I don't really know for sure. I'd guess the 'ol US of A. We tend to do everything in excess. For better or worse. :P

[zombiebabe]

lol!

[NotTheMomma]

Personally I think little to no makeup is better. But that's just me. :S And I think if you have a sandblaster in your powder room, you're definitely wearing a *tad* too much makeup. hehe

[zombiebabe]

:PLMAO

[kangy]

sandblaster >LOL

[performerwannabe]

I think from Russia and Ukraine..

[zombiebabe]

yes they do

[performerwannabe]

and they also dye their hair really light blond-almost white or rihanna red. they are looking for attention way too much in my opinion..

[zombiebabe]

dying their hair in such colors make them look fake

[performerwannabe]

I know... They do as well but this way they get the attention they're looking for..

[zombiebabe]

yeah... different looking people always get attention

[CommieDearest]

I would guess France or Lebanon

[zombiebabe]

hard to tell

[CommieDearest]

Exactly. I'm unsure about the general populous but I know cosmetics in general are HUGE in those countries. Japan, too.

[zombiebabe]

yeah its true

[aamy811]

America easily, or maybe Asia

[zombiebabe]

or both lol

[nonopink]

Probably Asians, Chinese, Korean and Japanese

[zombiebabe]

hmmm

[Koldhearted]

somewhere in asia easily.

[zombiebabe]

hmmmmm maybe

[popcorn35]

absolutely Russia & Brazil

[Zorax]

France, Spain, most of the Latin America

[Cómoestás]

United Kingdom, parts of Europe and Russia

[zombiebabe]
