No. First of all, it's really fucking obvious when someone is wearing a lot of makeup. If you can't see when a woman is wearing enough makeup to change her appearance that radically, you need to get your eyes checked. But secondly, why on Earth does a woman "natural" appearance matter more than the one she created for herself? That's super duper arbitrary, and while I get where that argument is coming from, the fact remains that there's really no reason why the face a person is born with has to be their "true" face. After all, plenty of peoples faces are altered after birth somehow, intentionally or otherwise, but they're still their "true" face. If someone had scars on their face and used makeup to hide them, would that be deception? If yes, does that make the scars their "true" face, meaning that other permanent modifications (tattoos, plastic surgery) would also be their "true" features?
Also, everybody hides some of their features every damn day. For instance, my legs are not in fact naturally made of blue denim. If I were to not disguise how I naturally smell, I don't think anyone would be terribly pleased with me. So again, what makes makeup so different?

Make-up for art is another thing.
Make-up that id organic and healing to the skin is another thing.
I'll discuss the make-up that alters your facial features and changes colour to attract a potential mate.
Lip stick that's bright shows you are ovulating and your vagina is lubricated.
Clear glowing skin shows balance of hormones.
Eye make-up shows dilation of eyes.
So basically this type of make-up tries to show you are healthy to have children and find the man in front of you very sex and want to have sex with him because you are ovulating.
This is a big deception. And women should not do this. It gives wrong cues to men.
The man will eventually find out what you look like without make-up
it depends how much you change with and without it :c i, for example, look like the exact same person - esp on photos - with or without it, so i wouldn't call it deceiving at all. i like to do it for funsies AAAAND i'm more confident with it (but am fine without it too, even though my skin has sum acne scars). riding redness, pimples, making your eyelashes longer with mascara and putting a little lipgloss or lipstick and blush is fine; kylie jenner and almost every western idol makeup isn't. emma watson and lilly collins are examples of kinda good makeup usage ;c -qq
I agree. The use of make up is to enhance what you've got. Moma always told me when it comes to make up less is more. We even joked around saying some girls use a putty knife to put her make up on.
I wear make up- powder, blush maybe eye concealer if I'm feeling self conscious, not often and I do wear eye shadow to play up my eyes. You can still tell it's me though just with makeup on.
well, I probably have a rather unusual position on this.
I am a magician, what I do is deceive people. and to some extent, any form of art is deception, it's taking one thing (like a bunch of paint and bit of canvas) and making it seem like something else or making people see it differently.
how I view a magic trick, is if you have respect for the artistry, that lie becomes art. but if you are using it to con someone, it's deception.
I think makeup is the same. it is an art form, so if it's done with respect for the artistry, then it is art. if it's done to deceive, then it is deception.
I wouldn't be so black and white judgey about it as that might seem, but I think you get what I mean.
so essentially I agree that it's about being true to yourself. though that's not such an easy thing either with the ephemeral nature of "self"..
and yeah, I think it can be sad. my ex used to wear loads of make up, and was embarrassed when I saw her without it, but she was so beautiful, it made me so sad to think that she felt inadequate without it.
Yes, I thinks makeup is a deception and false advertisement because it can change a person's appearance completely making them look like a different person. Especially in dating it's false advertisement because appearance itself and that you can trust your partner is part of the attraction and relationship in my opinion.
If a person is attracted to another person and is mostly attracted due appearance since they don't know each other very well, they've a relationship a while and the date reveals it was all fake the person can be disappointed and lose attraction. Both because the person was tricked, can't trust the date and the person don't necessary find the partner physically attractive. Some people are just visual and it's a must for attraction in this world. In addition the makeup user used someone else's time unnecessary.

Well if a guy can't look and see what a girl is like past he makeup I guess it's more naivety on his part than deception. Every on the planet girl looks rough when they wake up the morning after.
And yes girls all want to look like this hideous Michael Jackson face trend that is going on.
This pretty girl

Turned into this plastic monstrosity
i.pinimg.com/.../...makhdoom-indian-hairstyles.jpgI think it is more a question of intent and each case should be looked at individually - In your examples the first one is a deception ( albeit a self deception the most) and number 2 is making the best of in her perception without radically changing her appearance. My own preference is the light or no make up look which may or may not involve make up. To me it is the same as me shaving maybe getting a haircut, wearing good clothes to give me the perception of improving my look. I would never feel angry more pity for someone who feels for some reason they have to go to the extremes of case 1.
Imagine you meet a man who's the hottest thing you've ever seen. After a few dates, you invite him in. It gets hot and steamy, and as he's getting undressed, he takes off his muscle-suit shirt, his muscle-padded pants, and the sock out of his underwear. In the morning when you wake up, you notice that his wig is on crooked and his makeup is smeared all over your pillow, revealing his horrible complexion and lack of eyebrows.
You went to bed with Adonis and woke up with Jeff from accounting. How do you feel about it?Of course it's deceptive - that's why women don't let it go
There is 2 things women need to even the playing field cause being a male is just better in almost every situation
1. Make up
2. That men should pay for dates etc
Women will never let these things go. And for good reason. It puts them on a leveled playing field as us
When you see a handsome guy --> he's handsome no make up nothing, naturalI have no issue with make up, as long as a woman doesn't use too much. If it makes her feel more confident in herself, that is all that matters, as I find the way a woman acts and her attitude to accentuate her beauty more than any cosmetics. I always find pictures do not do a lady true justice for that reason. A woman's manner can make her more attractive or less attractive, and it is that uniqueness that makes her special, especially to the one she calls her significant other.
If you really think a woman puts on red lipstick in attempt to fool eveeyone that her lips are really red, then you're dumb as hell. Its fun and artistic and can be as wild as you want. If anyone tells you otherwise go ahead and flip them the bird as you apply your blue lipstick and glitter eye shadow.
It's so unfair. Just cuz we like make-up it's all of a sudden a crime. No I won't take it that far from changing my face white to black! But I won't stop wearing it because it disturbs men. People will always meet me without vs the rare occasion when I feel good enough to put it on.
not any more of a 'deception' than facial hair..
s26.postimg.org/.../...3_8530543562282052388_n.jpgU see a lot of young girls now a days like that because of media celebs etc some of them look bad and don't even need it. Because they already have youthful skin. They will age more. Me personally take five mins to get makeup I go for natural look and hate fakery
If it makes a woman look good I say makeup is good. I like a woman who knows to do her makeup and on whom makeup actually works. I appreciate women who try to look a little better. Always taking a further step, a step ahead. I however hate heavy makeup, the type to smear on my shirt...
Are bras a deception? After all you don't know if my tits will drop when you remove it.
I think it's ridiculous, women are not merchandise, we can't be advertised falsely. Most men have seen their woman without makeup before he marries her, and unless she is dressed for the red carpet, the difference really isn't THAT big.
Also, he should know that she doesn't look as flawless without her makeup, not uglier just a different kind of beautiful.I dotn really thik it is a deception when done properly and not get overboard like the Kartrashians, it enhances your natural features. Everything with moderation, not excessively. For instance the first example she look slike a complete different person, that should not be done.
There is more than just makeup like: wigs, weaves, hair extensions, fake eyelashes, butt pads, shapwear etc. You could go as far as injections or even surgery. When it comes to surgery I mean the ones who do it for superficial reasons and because the were in an accident, got burned, got stabbed etc.
well damn if you're that good at using makeup you deserve to look nice
i always look like an absolute clown whenever i put anything on my face so i just go natural, and it works for me. whatever works for you is greattake her for a swimming first date so you don`t fall for the deception
No, it's called pretty, for attraction. Learn it to benefit from its beauty enhancement. Ignore the guys - they don't know what they want, they just know pretty when they see it.
Women in general are a deception. The extenations in your hair aren't real, make covers flaws , tanning beds make it seem like you go outside, waxed mustache like your not hairy, fake nails, add a size or 2 padded push up bras, not real tits, jeans that make your as look like you hit gym 4 hrs a day but not even firm out of your clothes lots more than these too. PRETTY GIRLS DON'T NEED MAKEUP!!!
Makeup is meant to enhance natural beauty, some women take it to the extreme and that extreme makeover is very off putting
If makeup is deceptive then wearing deodorant is deceptive. How dare people wear deodorant and mask their natural scent! How deceptive!!
While it arguably is in those instances, I don't see how it matters
