Do guys really like when a girl is all natural or only if the girl is flawless?
What are your first assumptions about a girl who wears no makeup or very little?
If she is 16 it's normal. Most 16 years old in my school including me didn't wear make up, or wore very little make up (basically only eyeliner).
Otherwise I would think that there are many different possible reasons:
- She doesn't have the time to wear it aka she is late for work/school
- She doesn't know how to put make up on
- She doesn't care about the way she looks And is carefree
- She preferred sleeping an extra 15 minutes in the morning
- She can't afford make up
- She is sick or not in the mood.
- She thinks that she is too ugly anyways and make up will not save her.
- She doesn't like make up and prefers the way she looks completely natural, and feels more confident completely natural, would even go to her wedding make up free (very rare to meet girls like this, and even if you do, she probably looks at least a little more put together if she wore make up).
Anyway most grown up women (who aren't teens) who care about the way they look usually wear make up even if it's as little as lipstick and eyeliner.
Guys always say they like make up free girls, but us girls all know it's bullshit. Guys always end up noticing girls who care about how they look and wear make up more than the all natural ones.

I don't like to assume anything, especially when it concerns looks.
As for what boys like, you'll find out soon enough that they're completely clueless when it comes to makeup. They say they like when girls go all natural, yet so many of them ask girls without makeup if they sick, or why they look so tired. From what I can tell most guys just like natural looking makeup, they just mistake it for being all natural. And then we have the boys who think girls are born with 10 cm long eyelashes, glittery eyelids and fire red lips, who are shocked once it comes off and whines about how fake girls are.
HONEY. Do whatever you want to do with your face. Don't let some snotty little boy try to dictate what you do with yourself. The moment you stop caring about what little boys think, is the moment you can start to freely be whoever you want to be. If someone is worth spending time with, they won't try to hold you back, make assumptions about who you are or try to tell you what to do or who to be.

Lol don't take the replies too serious. Men don't know what no makeup looks like. I've seen pictures shared by men saying things like ''Kylie (Kendall, Beyonce, Rihanna, Scarlett jo, any pretty female celebrity) with no makeup <3 she looks gorgeous!!!'' while the woman was c nearly wearing foundation, blush, mascara, and some discrete pink lipstick.
They think makeup is just the cakey thing with a lot of sparkly eyeshadow, thick eyeliner, full fake eyebrows, dark lipstick, highlighter and all that stuff, but what I mentioned before is still makeup.
So I say do whatever you want but if you want to go for what is attractive for men just do the natural look, that is what I do and im always told I look amazing, but for special occasions I do all the package hah
Your question is a little bit confusing. Your almost so bent on make up being a necessity to women, that you've actually identified makeup and flawlessness within the same category. However , to the contrary, some of the most flawless women on the planet Alicia Keys for example, look much more flawless, without the man made powder/cream/coloring applied to her face. In fact , something flawed, would infer that it is not natural, and the natural aspect has been tainted.
In other words, please rephrase your question
To answer the question I think you were trying to ask without a loaded bias to women that wear makeup being "flawless",
I would say that women who don't wear makeup come off as much more powerful, and understood of their beauty. Also, they aren't trying to deceive you, which is EXACTLY what make up does...
-
Personally, I find natural beauty sexy. Having worn a lot of makeup myself (actor) I understand the compulsion to enhance. Certain my there are times for that but I appreciate a woman would is confident and little to no make up helps show that. I suppose then that is my first assumption.
Flawless is nice but some, like myself, appreciate flaws and seek a connection that is deeper than skin.
On the other side of the coin. I do love a girl that knows how to contour and craft a look that will drop me. When we go out and dress up flawless is yummy.

Girls - as in teenagers?
I would expect them not to wear makeup to be honest... but I know that's an impossible standard these days...
it's just healthier until your skin settles down from all the hormone bursts... -
Wow! Can everyone just start boycotting and protesting all these big make up corporations who practically zero in on their target audience, as they come out of the womb, then continue to bombard us until the day we die, with ads trying to convincing us that we need this product or that product to be as perfect as we can be. We got the impression that looks were our biggest asset and if we didn't cover our flaws and present ourselves as near perfect, that we would never attract a husband or be able to keep him.
We were under the impression guys wanted girls who looked like the one's on magazines and in movies and in porn, all of whom are air brushed, and completely made up from head to toe, hair, face, nails, etc...
It looks like we've all been duped this whole time by all the answers here.
Good thing I haven't ever worn it much, so Im not out thousands of dollars nor have I lost that much time devoted to it.
I've been told by a number of people that I dont need it, which is sort of funny,
because I know I don't but it's not because I think Im all that. It's because I dont like people telling me what I need or need to do or be, to be loved and accepted.
I try to encourage other girls to not let anyone convince them that they aren't beautiful just the way the are.
Make up is fine, only if they want to put it on for themselves, not because of any pressure to confirm to some unrealistic force fed beauty standard.
Make up will never be the make it or break it factor on whether or not they will be loved.
It's sad that both men and women alike are socialized to think women need to be pretty because their sole purpose in life is to be on display for someone else.
I hope that belief changes within my lifetime. -
If she's usually wearing makeup, and I ~hate~ to admit this, my thoughts usually run something along the lines of "Good god, are you sick?" and then I'm like "Oh, you're just not wearing makeup".
I've trained myself to not ask this question, at least.
If I've never met her before, I don't think I make any assumptions, apart from "Okay, this is how you look" - and whether that's positive or negative depends on how that looks. And this also explains my reaction to girls without makeup whom I'm accustomed to seeing with.
But apart from that, I don't think I've ever assumed anything about a person based on whether or not she's wearing makeup at that point in time.
In general, I think girls look more attractive with a bit of makeup. -
Ummm I kind of immediately see her as immature, provided she's not a mum or 30+. Then, you can understand how a mum would have minimal time to do it in the morning.
I'm not talking about a full face of make up. But a little powder and a flick of mascara goes a long way.
I know this opinion is unpopular but you wanted honest opinions:
The girls I know who go make-up free still use a matte primer and brush their eyebrows at least. when I go make up free, I still use a primer. Else I look all shiny. And there's no way I can go without make up if my eyebrows haven't been waxed into shape. -
I think you should go with what you like and what makes you comfortable. You should aim to be with someone who's more interested in what you have to say than what is or isn't on your face. Personally, sometimes I wear a lot of make-up and sometimes none or very little. I love matching my lipstick to my clothes, so often I only wear that. And if someone's going to judge me for that and assume things about me, than that's his or her problem. And, in my experience, guys who don't have sisters and aren't themselves experienced with make-up can't tell a girl's wearing a ''make-up no make-up'' look and assume this is what we look like without make-up, so really you should just do whatever you want. I bet you're a beautiful girl either way!
Have a nice day! -
I totally agree with Andru Aesthetik, who wrote following: "I'm the only straight male I've ever known who regularly wears foundation, myself, so I can certainly say I don't hate make-up. I can also attest to the fact that if men hate it in regards to women, you should see what they think of it on men! Personally, I love it on women but in my experience of watching men who are critical of it, it's most always an extension of a dominant/possessive trait to control a woman by "taking her off the market" per se, preserving her only for himself. Pretty disgusting but only just another unfortunate aspect of the prevalence of male dominance. To be fair, I don't think any of this is the same as not personally preferring women who wear tons of make-up, but that shouldn't be a judgement none the less (any more than judging someone for getting plastic surgery, dyeing their hair, or dressing "fashionable"), just a preference."

i'll think that she thinks like me, i. e :she scared to mess up her skin with chemicals in makeup
-
I feel as though girls these days only want to show the "perfect side/part" of themselves, in attempt to hide the rest. This rarely okay in some cases, but in terms of impressing a guy the only thing he'll fall for is your perfect side and that's not necessarily you. Eventually, you're inner self will come out and because you weren't 100 from the get go, there's a high chance of the guy losing interest.
To finally answer your question, I think its okay to wear makeup often and/or just around guys, as long as if there's a case where if you don't wear it, you won't feel off or less confident. If you don't/barely wear makeup, it obviously means that you're okay without it! So if you catch any guys attention based on the way you look, then GREAT cause it means that he likes you without and maybe even with makeup, so you won't find the need to be self conscious about the fact that you didn't cover up the zit on your forehead, cause he's seen it already! -
In some cases it's quite sexy. If I find her attractive in the first place makeup or no makeup makes no difference. It's like asking girls if they can still feel attracted to a man who isn't dressed up in a suit.
It's a nice little extra on occasion if she normally doesn't wear it. Nice either way. No big deal really. -
No one is flawless. If people allow their flaws to be more noticeable, it's much easier for people to relate to them.
Usually, girls who cake themselves with makeup everyday have a low self esteem. Girls who don't wear that much makeup are usually viewed as more confident.
I'd say that most guys find confidence attractive. Any guy who encourages men to wear MORE makeup are just looking for a trophy and not a serious relationship. -
Self confidence, beautiful down to earth woman, my ex wore light shade of lipstick, maybe the eyelashes and that was it. What makes no makeup so appealing to me is I know what I'm getting. When we finally did spend the night together, there were no morning surprises, lol.

well i hardly wear make up for certain reasons:
1. i can't do it for myself so my friend or sister does it for me when i have a wedding to attend which is very rare
2. i never learned cuz i dont really think i need it like that
3. whenever i wear make up i get this weird feeling on my face that i can't explain, all i wanna do is get home n remove it
my opinion... my first assumptions about a girl who wears make up less is that she ain't talented like those who can wear make up all the time, although some can do it but they just dont, another assumption is that she just wants her face the way it is. thumbs up to all girls, whether u wear make up all the time or not, it doesn't define us as an individual neither does it differentiate us. -
yup.. I believe in natural beauty... I remember one joke...1 girl do makeup in morning than in morning death angel ordered to pick her soul at night... when angel come to her at night he not pick her soul... because girl washed her face before angel come..:-) & angel thought she is someone else...:-)
-
Put it this way... for the most part guys will say that they prefer girls to wear little or no makeup and that they say they prefer natural beauty.
But at the same time they aren't interested in the girls (and i know that this is going to sound cliché) that need it the most when they're not wearing it.
I wouldn't necessarily say that they're into girls that are flawess because let's face it no one is but they're certainly are into girls that are damn near close enough. -
I think girls and guys view makeup very differently. What a girl thinks is little can sometimes be looked at as facepaint. I think, if girls used colors that meld with their skin tones, and used makeup just to even things out here and there, that'd be perfect. If they go all batshit on foundation because they want a fairer tone, then the games already lost.
Other girls may be okay with what she's done (Because they look at it more as art) but guys may cringe because they don't know much about makeup and it's just way too fake. -
I like it when a girl wears makeup bevause i think she looks beautiful in a different way. But if I'm truly in love and attracted to a person. And not by what's just on the outside then I don't mind if she doesn't always wear makeup. I think she's just as beautiful.
-
I think guys like it it the girl is naturally beautiful and such. I think even if they don't realize it though guys do like it if girls wear a little even just sometimes because it changes things up or it makes her look put together.
I think as long as you put effort into your appearance you'll be great. -
if you're comfortable one way or another, I personally think I'll be fine. if you want to go natural, looks good to me. if you want to flaunt your makeup skills, looks good to me. You do you girl and hope you find a guy/girl that's totally into that, and supports you being you and is comfortable with you either way.
-
It sounds horrible, but I like a girl who wears makeup. It shows me that she takes pride in taking care of herself. If she decides to go "all natural" I would hope that she would at least shape her eyebrows and wear chapstick. Just some sort of effort.

comfortable and not worried about what others may think of her skin. Has other priorities other than trying to look flawless all the time and feels more secure then insecure on how she looks. Also probably a little lazy/tired lol That's how I pretty much stopped wearing make up, one day i got up 2 hours in advance to put it on, looked at myself and said "i could still be asleep if i didn't do this" Dropped the make up and went right back to bed. Been that way for quite some time now.
