A good makeup artist can make a ton of makeup look very natural, so I agree.
However, most of the time you can tell that she is wearing makeup regardless the amount, and the majority of people just prefer natural girls.
Yep that's true. Sometimes its also that she didn't apply it correctly. Putting on too much make up is also a form of not applying make up correctly.
Usually yes, but my s/o once said that as well about a girl who wore natural makeup.. except for the 20 layers of powder foundation to hide her acne.
No seriously... It's not about bad application or bad products. Even the best makeup girl is like WTF it's too much when you put ton of shit on your face, and contour everywhere.
And why would that be a bad thing?
why would that be a good thing?
I respect makeup artists it is a form of art. but a person wearing that much makeup everyday, clearly has too much time to waste on her hands... that's what it shows me. everything is good in moderate levels.
I'm a woman who wears a good amount of makeup yet im an honor roll student, I'm going to a good college next year and im planning on getting my PhD in the future, i exercise daily and i get 10 hours of sleep per night, i dont necessarily see what's wrong with me putting on makeup in my downtime if I have this much of my life in order already. I know guys who play video games 6+ hours a day but I don't criticize them because what they do with their time is none of my buisiness, And this is the same situation. If I get everything i need to get done on time then why would having extra down time to do what I enjoy ever be a bad thing?
you dont get the too much makeup vs. moderate levels... good for you let me know when you're doing phd how it is going.
Yes but the point in trying to get across is why does anyone even care if some random woman on the street is wearing "too much" Makeup? How does it effect anyone else and why do men get so offended about It? I've seen guys literally tell girls that they aren't going to amount to anything because of their makeup and it's kind of ridiculous. If it makes someone feel good about themselves then why does some random person have to put their opinion into it?
That's not the fucking point, or the question asked. Maybe you should rephrase some stuff. It's simply unattractive to me that someone has a shit ton of things on her face, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, They can say whatever the fuck they wanna say about others. People's mouth are not a zipper lock, you can't zip them when you want. If you are fkin disturbed about others commenting on your makeup and you are not able to give a straight answer to shut their mouths up, or ignore their comments, simply dont go out to the streets, wear your makeup at home.
When did I say they aren't entitled to their own opinions? I posted the question because I wanted honest discussion. I don't see what is necessarily wrong about asking why someone believes something if they share an opinion on my question.
I don't care what other people think about me, i just wonder why it means so much to them that I stop something i enjoy. No need to get hostile.
it doesn't mean a single much to anyone. you're just taking yourself too seriously and thinking that people always think about you or your makeup. it's just a second people look at you and say "oh she wears a ton of makeup" and not get attracted to you and then forget about you
If I was upset about that i wouldn't wear makeup, would i? I also wouldn't spend so much money on it if I was trying to impress a guy who didn't know the difference between rose gold and champagne, right? I'm not out to impress anyone, i do makeup because I find it enjoyable. I even mentioned in the description that I wear a lot of makeup but never recieve these comments myself, so why are you trying so hard to relate this back to me? Do you think telling me I'm insecure hurts me? I think you are more offended then i am, i think someone in your life told you makeup looks horrible and now you have some sort of resentment towards women who wear it, as if it makes us lesser then you, as if by not wearing it you seem more down to earth or something. You shouldn't have to put other women down to raise your own self esteem.
Im not silencing anyone by asking a question and encouraging open discussion on the topic. And if you hate it so much when someone questions your opinion, then haven't you ever thought that it's not an opinion that you are confident enough in to stand behind? Putting me down does not further your argument or make you sound more educated on the subject.
wth are you talking about being upset and stuff? i am not putting you down. I am just telling you that "nobody would care if you didn't go to the party"... everybody has their own shit to worry about. they see your makeup, one second they dont like it or they like it, then the next second they dont give a shit about you. i am not sure why you're so offended about the truth of life.
I dont hate it when i get asked questions about my opinion. Your questions are irrelevant. I don't like it when everywhere on the face contoured to the point it looks like the person is totally different without makeup. END OF THE STORY. I see a girl with ton of makeup, i question how much time she spent time on putting that much thing that she doesn't even look nice. Just for a second. Then i dont even remember or care.
I also don't like Peanut Butter. Do I have to explain it to you and stand behind it to satisfy your arse? Or are you just going to take it as an opinion and stfu about it?
I am not putting you down. I am just telling you that it is an individualistic world and nobody gives a shit about your makeup for more than one second a day. If you dont like the idea that there exist some human beings not liking your makeup, don't go out wear makeup inside. ffs.
I asked a question looking to have a conversation and you are getting all salty over nothing. Sorry I didn't know it was a crime to talk to people. Just because I question your opinion doesn't mean I dont respect It, but by the way you are talking to me you seem to be getting hostile and I really don't appreciate that. I just want to make it clear I am not looking for a fight here, nor am I upset if someone doesn't give a shit about my makeup, I'm asking a question about people who are downright offended by by someone else's life choices when it has nothing to do with them, if that doesn't apply to you then why do you care so much?
I can't tell if your photos are supposed to be "good application vs. Bad application" but if the are, there's little to no difference.
A lot of makeup is a lot of makeup, and it just doesn't look good. It looks fake and unattractive.
The left is bad, the right is good. But i don't see what is necessarily wrong with wearing a lot in the first place. The first picture the girl is wearing a more "instagram" kind of look which is meant to look dramatic for special occasions and such, whereas the second one is more natural everyday makeup.
I mean nothing is inherently wrong, people are free to dress and look however they want, but in this context, there's lots of guys who don't like excessive makeup. I for one prefer either a natural look, or just small amounts, otherwise it just looks fake to me.
Sometimes. But mostly they also say that do to a lot of eye makeup.
if we say she's wearing a lot of make up, it's because we can see that it looks like a lot of make up has been applied to the point that it looks unrealistic.
If it’s caked on it’s too much personally guys probably don’t know a lot about makeup although I’m sure some dude but most that comment don’t know
Nope. This girl applied her makeup pretty well but you can still see it's a lot
But would guys who say they prefer natural makeup turn her down if she asked them out?
Seems reasonable. Look at how many idiot dudes think that the Kardashians don't wear a lot of makeup... or literally anyone in a magazine.
Yes I think that's true. Guys don't know what good makeup looks like obviously so they just say "oh she's wearing too much," when really what they mean is that it doesn't look good
Not always true. Beautifully applied makeup can be seen as too much makeup by some guys as well.
What you are proposing is very true. Altough long term less make-up is a lot better i can`t say i don`t enjoy a beautiful face from time to time.
Its more of a "we want make up but don't wanna say as much so make it so it doesn't look like you're wear any" deal so any noticeable amount is to much even if its a smaller amount then otherwise
"but I'm rarely told i wear "too much""
Because the guys aren't that stupid.
Nah, for me that is when she has applied too much. It could also be applied poorly, but there is definitely too much.
To an extent yes. It might also mean it is applied well but has too much color.
No it means she puts too much on and it's unnatractive..
Usually when they say that, it's because it's true.
Why is that?
Guys don't like conflict. And they state the obvious. If they say that you're wearing a lot of makeup, you probably are. Granted you just have applied it badly or have the wrong tone for your blush but guys like natural whether they know it or not.
I feel like guys have been conditioned to like girls who are wearing makeup but they don't want to see a completely different face when she takes it off at night and that's my point, they aren't looking for a girl who wears no makeup at all, they just don't know enough about makeup to accurately tell the difference between a natural looking makeup look and none at all. So when they see someone who didn't blend their eyeshadow or blush properly or used an unflattering shade it stands out to them more and they see it as "too much" even though it's the same amount, but it's applied poorly. I feel like many say they don't like a girl who wears makeup because they feel they are being lied to, but when it comes down to it most of the women they go after do wear makeup.
That's a good point. But be honest. If there was table and on that table was sitting a bruised banana and a ripe Apple, and you could eat both physically, which would you choose? It's human nature to choose the best looking people to be our mate, so to speak.
I don't blame them for that, they can date whoever they find attractive but I don't see why it would be necessary to bring down people who put on makeup because they genuinely enjoy it. I don't think it's a bad thing to generally prefer less makeup, but when it gets to a point where they turn a girl down or make a rude comment simply because she does wear makeup then it's less of a preference and more of a prejudice.
When your face looks exactly like a kardashian's and any guy can apply the same amount of makeup to look indistinguishable from a girl, yeah it's too much.
