Do guys really prefer women with no makeup? (Page 2)

Question

It just seems whenever a girl asks whether a guy prefers a girl with makeup or without, almost all say that they prefer girls without. But when I see people interacting irl, they will always talk to the girl with makeup than the no makeup girl. I've seen guys telling girls to put on mascara or lipstick so that they can look less "sick". Or online when a girl takes off her makeup guys say "this is why I have trust issues", does that mean she's ugly without makeup? Otherwise they wouldn't say that-? So do guys really prefer girls without makeup? Or do they just say it to make themselves look good to the eyes of others?

sahas20 · Answer

You see, there is a thin line between overdoing it and keeping it subtle. Keep it subtle when you're trying to impress or attract someone. Once they are in love with you, they wouldn't really care how you look without makeup or with it. Coz for them you're the most beautiful woman in the world, no matter what.

CasaNorba · Answer

yes all the way.

obviously the reason why the girls who wear makeup get approached more is because they appear more attractive at the moment. but either way the guy is gonna find out exactly what you look like without make up on sooner or later, no?

fishSauce · Answer

It really depends. My ex girlfriend very rarely used any make up. I met her without it, and always dealed with her without it. I always knew what she actually looked like, and was happy with it. That made it so that when she used make up, i would be pleasantly surprised, because a girl i already thought was beautiful, now, was even more so. My opinion is that on day to day activities, too much make up is just a... lie. Both to girls, and guys. Its some tough shit

steveguitar · Answer

I think that girls need to stop being fake, I think that girls need to stop taking hours to get ready. Get a hobby where you use your brain and your hands. And stop worrying about your weight.

Workout/be active, shower, hobby, work

chris_987 · Answer

Eww those girls are bad examples but if you think about it makeup never existed to the extreme it does today and there are no book written about how bad girls look without makeup in the Middle Ages so obviously guys slept with girls back then too. All makeup did was just raise the bar on how girls think they should present themselves

Dinob97 · Answer

If she has healthy skin and looks great without make up yes, in any other case no. Humans are superficial, looks matter, also the girl who wears make up seems better groomed more attractive and thus more confident.

Shane_B · Answer

I'm a guy, and I prefer girls with no make up (natrual beauty).
Some girls probably don't even need to use make up at all.
And if she had spots/acne, it will soon go away if it's looked after and treated with cream properly.

Anonymous · Answer

i definitely prefer women without makeup, i love the innocent and pure features of women and I just don't understand why people would waste time and money to change their features. make up is used to emphasize features, not to change them. natural or light make up is fine, but thick eye liners and false eye lashes? that's a bit over the top

Anonymous · Answer

When guys say they prefer girls without makeup, I think what they really mean is they prefer girls without too much makeup. The more makeup you wear, the less natural you look. The goal is to enhance your natural beauty without going overboard and looking clownish. I think most guys will agree with that statement.

JackofSpades · Answer

The only time I've seen a large amount of women without makeup on is when I was backpacking the AT. Not one of the women I met looked perfect. But almost all of them looked beautiful nonetheless.

There is somethingthat is incredibly sexy about showing off your natural self with confidence, and not trying to hide behind a mask.

If you feel like you need it use it.
My advice is just to use so much you look like a clown.

soul1110 · Answer

Well, it's not like you posted the best example.

But, yeah, I still go with what I always did, in which I don't really care about make up. Not sure why it's so hard to believe. Guys that say otherwise are either extremely picky and/or annoying guys online pretending to have higher "standards".

Mrblueballs42 · Answer

I can see a girl covering up her zits. now a girl putting on to much make up there is no need. lipstick here and there some eye shadow I get it. A woman wants to look good. Thats fine but heavy eye liner Heavy eye shadow and dark lipstick is a turn off to me. I mean really over done.

Astoriana · Answer

They say they do, but then when you actually don’t wear makeup they call you ugly/sick/tired or what have you.

theearthling · Answer

I prefer make up hands down but if we in a relationship then it's a different level and then I can see the inner beauty... call me shallow but 10/10 I'll talk to the girl all done up over not, but it's more like a she cares about herself and the way she look thing

Freelancer95 · Answer

Makeup does make you look better yes, the only time I ever said I preferred girls without makeup was at school because they had no idea what subtle meant. They all looked like clowns.

Now I simply respect whatever my partner decides to do. I am aware that blemishes exist and I respect her for who she is.

jessicake · Answer

Wear makeup for YOURSELF and not to impress anyone especially some dude bro who doesn’t understand the first thing about makeup or the time it takes to feel confident and look good.

anmari2001 · Answer

Well they sure looks nice with make up but its fake
I would feel weird if my boyfriend wear make up or have fake stuff on himself to look better, no, I want my guy natural, I some feel guys feel the same way about girls

Anonymous · Answer

No.

They prefer women who are stunning without makeup to those who are average without but look stunning with. As you're aware - that doesn't matter.

They prefer girls who aren't obsessed with their looks and makeup and won't leave the house if not given an hour to get their contouring right.

It's a little bit like asking girls if they like it when guys spend 3-4 hours a day working out. They don't, they'd like guys to just work out a few times a week and have perfect muscles.

Jimbojim · Answer

I think women are beautiful either way I don't really care whether they wear makeup or not I care more about their personality

Ghost_Woof · Answer

Lmfao!!! Such a dramatic comparison... You know that makeup gives you acne? I stopped using any kind of products on my face including soap and it all went away!

Anonymous · Answer

From those pics... girls with makeup. Please (but not to go beyond, hi how are you?)

If the girls is ugly then better to improve it by faking it to a certain point. Eventually if feeling happen... truth will always prevail. And no love makes a girl pretty to be honest...

Hal2002 · Answer

Natural, all the way. We men are not as shallow, as females seem to think we are. Yes we like a pretty face, but we like a real person more. If you can't be accepted for yourself by someone with out makeup, why would you want to be with that person.

Logorithim · Answer

Given the wide range in women's appearances, you're going to find lots of situations where she will look better with makeup. I tend to prefer women without makeup, but the woman in the first pic needs it, whereas I would say the other two do not.

Whaler · Answer

Depends, I honestly couldnt care much if you did or didn’t, I understand that some girls like giving use makeup because it makes them feel more secure about themselves therefore it doesn’t really matter to me.

snowangle · Answer

They want a girl who LOOKS like she has makeup on, but who won't look any different first thing in the morning.

SweetgirlNS · Answer

I found that when I stopped using makeup my face cleared up.

Nico63 · Answer

It’s dependant on the girl I think. I feel comfortable without make up x

daynamariex · Answer

My boyfriend refers to 'light make-up' as 'no make-up.' And I get the impression he's not fussed whether I wear it or not. I think make-up is only favourable in situations where you should make an effort, eg. Nights out or dates.

dannygray · Answer

I prefer women with good hygiene, in my opinion its okay to put some makeup to make a twist like eyeliners or lipsticks thats femenine but the rest just seem cheap and filthy to me.

embercity · Answer

I find guys' claim that women look better without makeup quite hypocritical. I rarely wear makeup in my daily life and I've been told that I could use some lipstick or mascara cause I look plain and even sick or below average without it

So when they say no makeup, they mean makeup which isn't obvious or very subtle makeup

InTimoreDei · Answer

There's nothing wrong with no-makeup or a bit of natural makeup. What men can't stand is the first picture on the right. That shit looks so bloody fake. The second girl is fine with no makeup and her subtle casual makeup is really nice.

hahahmm · Answer

Far as dating me, yes... Makeup should not be so drastic that you look like a different person without it. And most of those women would look just fine with less makeup in person.

Patrickjv · Answer

These aren't really fair comparison. The first girm has a serious skin condition and all those actresses are always tired af when they're not doing a public appearance.

Anonymous · Answer

It depends on the girl really. A young pretty 16-30 year old who avoids fast food, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, over exposure to sunlight and over eating generally speaking doesn't need make up. Make up on really looks good in pictures hence why celeb women wear makeup and older 30+ year olds wear make up to hide their age and to stay attractive..

Anonymous · Answer

A study has shown that guys prefer women with minimal makeup , which is obviously true.
Though I'm not going to lie , if you look way better with makeup than without it , I think guys are obviously going to be attracted to you more with makeup on. That's just the truth. If you don't look super different without it I would say it wouldn't matter as much , see this is why they like minimal makeup because then they get to see the closest thing to what the real you looks like.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes makeup is sexy but not too much. If i see girl in night club without make up ill probably think that she have bad hygiene or she is not interested in life ( yea weird) and if i see too much makeup it gives me bitchy feeling. SO SOMETHING IN MIDDLE.

Bananaman177 · Answer

Guys who want sex tend to prefer make-up. Guys looking for a potential wife tend to severely distrust women who wear make-up. Adjust your plumage accordingly.

Eirletherail · Answer

I prefer without make up. It makes you "less likeable but more lovable" as the phrase goes. Remember that looks create infatuation, while personalities create relationships.

amarahorrorstory · Answer

As a makeup artist, I'd rather die than please some loser who gets his panties in a bunch because I like makeup. No, thank you.

mesasme · Answer

Personally i would have to say that i prefer no make up. If its for an occassion or what ever thats one thing but on the daily. Its just way to much

reido · Answer

It really depends for me, if I like the girl I'm with without her makeup I'll tell her. It's always nice to be comfortable around your girl and to let her be comfortable around you.

Anon85 · Answer

That's just those girls, OP. Guys want an attractive girl, they just want it to be the real deal and not face-paint

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

I wouldn't date any of the 6 pictures. Yes I know it's three people, with and without, I'm just saying I don't think this is the best sample because they don't look good with or without makeup.

cookie73 · Answer

Depends on the girl... if she has a naturally beautiful face then no make up should hide it... if she has blotchy skin then some light cover to blend it in should be fine... nothing worse than a generally pretty girl over doing the makeup and looking like a tranny... that said, its often the confidence boost they have when wearing make up that gives them a glow and a more attractive demeanour like in the last photo.

Pyrofox · Answer

Its not that guys dont like makeup its a matter of not going over board. After a while its polarizing and guys will simply not notice all the hard work. So kiss that like.1.5 hours of work goodbye.

_QueenOfTheDank_ · Answer

I personally don't, but at the same time it makes me laugh whenever people get suprised when they take off the thick loaf of makeup and they look like a different person.

TravellingFoodie008 · Answer

depends on the girls personality. some seem to be able to pull off the minimal or no make up while others are a little out there and wear make up to match. personally I prefer girls with the minimal natural make up look.

IceQueen328 · Answer

There is a saying from a book i read. "Men fall for what they see, Women fall for what they hear" It's either love at first sight or friend at first sight.

loveslongnails · Answer

You should be ashamed of yourself for that first pic. The poor girl has a terrible case of acne, and you ask if she looks better with make-up? And what's that... Mila Kunis after a two day drunk?

RationalMale · Answer

Hmm. Problem is, we're so used to seeing makeup on women we aren't used to seeing normal.
Imagine that all guys deceptively wore suits, rolex watches, and drove sports cars... and they were all just cheap rentals. See how we view makeup?

Tuomaaash · Answer

I prefer "natural" makeup, which already sounds kinda silly. But I just don´t like heavy make up which makes you look totally different. That´s why there´s a thing called "shower test"

milankae_ · Answer

I'd say the guy usually just wants the closest to the real girl and hence prefers subtle makeup appliances so anything that looks natural (not fake eyebrows and 20 layers of concealers )

ChrisRobin · Answer

I think most guys would prefer women with no makeup if they look good without makeup, that way wearing makeup becomes something special and its own turn on

jayjaymarz1189 · Answer

I prefer us to not wear makeup because I like looking at natural faces. Natural is extremely beautiful than makeup faces.

Nora_Sutherlin · Answer

The picture you posted are sick. Now I don't blame men if they say they don't like women with makeup. Well personally i don't wear makeup and i don't understand why girls do it like the above picture

CT_CD · Answer

Yeah. Women use make-up to hide their true face. I want to see what see actually looks like. If a woman knows what she's doing then contouring can completely change how she looks. False advertising

Miristheiss · Answer

I don't know if I'd say "prefer" but I like ladies without makeup. A little bit if makeup looks nice too. I usually find lots of makeup unappealing in many instances.

mhmdjoudi · Answer

The first one is probably a skin problem/ just a phase of pimples , so without those pimples she's much better looking than the one with makeup. Plus there's a difference between light makeup and going full

Guava_11 · Answer

Prefer the non make up. But if you have had skin like acne then it's alright to wear some to cover it up if you want to but wearing make up to the extent you look like a drag queen or the sun starts shining off of you face then it horrible.

shub09 · Answer

I personally like a girl without or minimal makeup.
Coz real beauty lies in the imperfection.💓
But, if she is willing to apply some.. it is perfectly okay for me.

Anything that makes her happy would never bother me. ♥
