Most guys will tell you they hate makeup and prefer no makeup at all. But the truth is most guys like the natural look, which CAN mean light makeup, done well.
The problem is guys are just sick of the fake look. By that I mean fake eyelashes, painted on eyebrows, heavy lipstick, heavy makeup, dyed hair, fake boobs, fake nails, fake lips... fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake...
If you can wear makeup that makes you look good without looking like you're wearing makeup, then that's fine. But most guys are going to tell you they like no makeup at all because they are just sick of fake everything on women.
Personally, I dig it when a girl is all done up. Long black lashes, wings on the eyes, the works. I know women work hard on that, and it’s an art. So in my opinion, take as much time as you need in front of that mirror, I’ll be right here waiting. And I’ll appreciate every brush stroke!
Thank you. I see all these guys hating on it but in my experience when I was single my dyed pink hair and make up wasn't a problem. If anything they said they liked my uniqueness and thought it was sexy.
Right! If you have something great, and can make it better, why wouldn’t you?
I personally dont wear it in public but I love makeup especially dark and gothic makeup , or super colorful makeup. Its really fun to play with , I usually dont think ' but what do guys think of this' when I'm doing it so i doubt girls who put on lots of crazy colors on their faces do it to attract someone , unless they are insecure or want to change their features.
It isn't a good way to use makeup if you are doing it to change your features and be 'attractive' out of insecurity , but I can understand why some girls feel this way. People may say they dont like girls with lots of makeup on or just want an 'average girl' but our society tends to put a lot of pressure on us to look beautiful.
I only wear makeup on special occasions, and even there I'll only do some mascara, eyeliner and lipstick. I hate the feeling of foundation and eyeshadow on my face, also I just love the feeling of not being scared to rub my eyes or have the need to check or retouch after eating.

Make up is Art. Your face is a blank canvass. It's all in your hands if you want to look like a goddess or a clown. It can be a turn on or a turn off too. Some people need to calm down on their eyebrows lol
Whatever makes a woman most comfortable in her own skin around me and most confident is what I prefer her to do. If she feels sexy and relaxed in heavy makeup or no makeup at all, what I've learned at my age is sexiness mostly comes from within and radiates out of mature grown young adults. I like women to feel comfortable and confident as their true selves. Makeup is amazing. I love how different eyeshadow looks on girls/women. I still think lipstick is sexy and will be forever it's timeless.. I don't think any less of someone who likes to use lots of foundation or whatever all the other shits called (idk makeup lingo/verbage sry) but if a woman spends lots of time putting makeup on and feels prettier in doing so that's fine. I won't shame anyone who uses too little or too much or think any way that's judgmental at all because it's not about me. I'm attracted to women who are confident and actually believe me when I tell then they look sexy in that cheap hoody when she's still half asleep or knows I mean it if I say they look hot as fuck in that outfit or cute when they get stoned and half their eyes are glazed over. If I say that shit in not trying g to make you feel better and lying I mean it cuz Im too old for games and don't say shit like that anymore unless it's true. I'm not here to manipulate or decieve anyone (like you damn women do with your makeup every day forever)
PS... Side note but to those of u who get fake breasts, tans, eyes, hair, etc and try and hide it all and become a caricature of your true self all in the hopes you'll eventuakky be "hot enough" to attract a "real man" someday lol pls stop and look up the definition of irony first. Always Love yourself and be proud of all of who you are meaning if you have a weave and spray tan and fake tits be proud of those things. If you feel hot In ripped baggy jeans and a football jersey and snapback then be proud being u in that style if it's what u like.
Sexy isn't defined by anyone person or by culture or anyone but the person who has it on the inside and exudes it by feeling it and/or expressing it.
Cuz ur born with it.
Maybe.
Or maybe it's just Maybelline I don't know
Daily makeup is very bad for your skin first thing, and a girl like you should only wear makeup when you are going out but just a bit of make up to much can be a turn off to. But for everyday life you should try to minimize it in my opinion also for the sake of your skin & by the way you are beautifull enough as is =).
Awh thanks ! 😊
I think makeup really adds greatly to the face. I wish make up sometimes was more accepted for guys to wear, simply because make up just is great to enhance the skins appearance and works great for coverage of unwanted blemishes. It really can be a life saver and make you feel and look good in the process
I personally like the full makeup look if it looks good. I just think it enhances a ladies look that much more. U guess that's obvious though. I can also dig the no makeup lookup if the girl can pull it off some can't and it looks strange to me but maybe I'm more adjusted to girly girls so to speak.
Really love make up, but I can do both.
I can do a full face with bright make up but I can also do natural make up or no make up.
It all depends on my mood and the amount of time I have to get ready.
And I like to just play with make up before showering, I don't have to confidence to go outside with blue make up haha.
Its nice but dont cake it on, and dont use too much. Make up enough to enhance the shape of the face, eyes to a reasonable extent, but not the the extent that all I see is, well, make up. Granted i like the no-make-up look as well but damn if a girl changes things up from time to time with some make-up, i like that.
I've had make-up used on me before too. Light make-up, but it made me look way more presentable onstage (i was emceeing and acting for a large scale school. production).
Admittedly i actually found it rather enjoyable, in retrospect, to have make-up used on me. That time, it was just some foundation to smoothen out the texture of the skin, and interestingly the make up team decided to use mascara to tame my thick eyebrows. Not exactly correct use, but interesting and effective nonetheless😂😂 They got some of the eyebrow hairs to stick to the skin and make them look less bushy that way.
I prefer when it looks at least mostly natural.
When it comes to full-on makeup, call me sexist but I don't understand what girls hope to achieve by doing that.
They say it's to make themselves feel sexy. My response to this is, if you want to feel sexy, it helps to actually look sexy.
On my boyfriend's behalf I can tell you he likes it. He does tell me he rather have me bare face but he likes when I change up and do my makeup, gold eyelids and even falsies
I guess my point is that during a relationship is a thing of balance and while flirting you should keep it natural.
A little makeup is fine but when she starts to pile it on to the point where she starts to look like a different person, then it's too much and it becomes deceiving. For the latter, there is a saying that goes something like this:
"Women like what they hear. Men lie
Men like what they see. Women wear makeup"
A guy should be perfectly okay with makeup. Rather it’s natural or full face of makeup. Makeup is art and it’s something fun to wear. Makeup is fashion. Not all girls wear makeup because they’re insecure, a lot of girls wear makeup because its fun to wear it, and they like how it looks. We don’t necessarily think we look bad without it, we just enjoy wearing makeup. Any “I like my girls all natural no makeup” kind of guy, I don’t fw.
1. Not everybody likes fashion
2. Your natural faces are way much beautiful to us, so you are a much precious piece of art than with makeup
3. Not everything that is fun is good for you
4. I'm not judging girls with makeup because I mostly don't care about the looks of a girl, I prefer what's inside, that being her feelings and her good and bad parts of her.
I'm not saying I hate makeup. All I'm just saying is that I prefer a girl without it, and if you have a boyfriend and has the same opinion as I have, you'll make him sooooo muuuch happier if you'd be yourself, without makeup, without secrets and without a complex behavior that guys have no chance in understanding because girls give no chances to the guy.
But anyway. Guys don't like makeup because when they like a girl, they want her to be herself with them. It's the most beautiful thing a man can witness... or that's just my opinion
I’m not saying everybody likes fashion, but some people do and that’s why some people wear makeup. Same with why some people like jewelry or anything fashion related. Makeup is an artistic thing that people enjoy, like anything else art related, it’s no different. But I believe a guy shouldn’t have a problem with a girl wearing makeup because if she enjoys it what should be the problem?
If she never wanted to take it off, then I’d understand, but there shouldn’t be a problem with girls wanting to wear makeup. I know guys who don’t care about makeup at all, as long as he gets to see her natural beauty, he doesn’t care. Some guys compliment girls makeup. Like of course my lips aren’t naturally purple, my eyelids don’t have natural wing liner over them, and I don’t have a natural glow on my nose and cheek bones. But it’s fun to have those on my face. It makes me feel stunning, not that I feel the need to constantly wear it and die if I don’t put it on, but it’s fun to wear it. But opinions are opinions so you do you.
I never said makeup it's unhealthy. If girls enjoy it, it's okay. But never think that makeup is attractive to boys. Most of them don't like makeup. If girls feel better with makeup (and they are not exaggerating with it) then why not? Enjoy it. But the question was about if guys enjoy or agree with it. I'd say that mostly don't. They like a subtle makeup or none at all. Of course there are few who don't care about if a girl has makeup or not.
In my opinion though, if you want a boy to like you more, or to make him happier, be yourself, with makeup or not.
You mentioned that not everything that you like is good for you. That’s what I meant. Like it’s not always unhealthy to enjoy makeup. Like i said a lot of girls wear it because we like it, not all of us wear it because we are insecure or to impress boys. And I think you’re mistaking on that. I don’t think it’s most, it’s just a lot. I’ve known a lot of guys who like it, and a lot of guys that dislike it. I wouldn’t say that it’s the majority. Where I live, I’ve known an equal amount. But If you prefer girls with no makeup, then go for it. It’s good to not think it enhances girl’s beauty.
I'll be blunt. Truly beautiful girls are better off without makeup. It takes away from their beauty. However for the majority of girls who aren't 10/10 model material, a little makeup works to enhance their looks. A little eyeliner is the only makeup I don't mind on girls though.
Personally I find with makeup less is more. If a girl want to where lots of makeup that is fine, but I prefer a more natural look. Makeup can be use to make your face look better, but I don't think people should use it to change how their entire face is. "I want to date a girl not a clown"
I like natural beauty, makeup is nice every once in a while when she wants to look nice for me I always tell my significant other "you know you don't have to wear all that make up you look beautiful just the way you are, that's why I'm so lucky to have you"
Guys don't know anything about makeup, so don't ask them. Ask your beautician, or cosmetics professional.
Guys just know pretty when they see it. Done right they don't even know what they're looking at.
Love can't start 'till attraction does. And then there needs to be a conversation.
I don't care either way, I just hate it when girls complain about "having to do it." Despite societal expectations, technically you don't HAVE to. If you choose to be that pariah and buck social norms you can fully expect me to root for you every step of the way.
Makeup is meant to enhance your natural face not cover or hide it. Many women will have the occasional skin imperfection and makeup allows you to show your natural beauty while giving variety depending on mood, outfit etc.
A little is nice if you are worried about small flaws, but I find natural girls way more beautiful than girls who plaster faces and cake it hard out.
Even girls who do it very well and tidily, it's just too much.
In my opinion, woman look really pretty without makeup, that doesn't mean I hate it or something, if you like expressing yourself in that way, do it! No one should criticise you because of your look, and hobby. According to question, makeup or not, that doesn't matter.
I tend to like more natural but what's more important is what level of makeup makes you feel more confident
I think makeup is great, just don't go too overboard. Like they all say a little goes a long way.
And to all the guys saying they hate makeup... They are morons.
Less is more tbh
But its nice when someone put all that effort in to just their face to look good for you
For Halloween, I like it. Most of the other time I usually see it over-done, or not required. Which - right now - makes me think: It could be possible that I see someone with an excellent paint job, but don't notice it?
I personally love wearing makeup, its enjoyable to put on to me. but i hate that its an industry that makes money off of so many girls hating how they look.
I like the whole spectrum. None, just mascara, the natural look, obvious makeup with eyeshadow, bedroom eyes, or something theatrical… it’s all good and I appreciate each on my partner and on women in general.
I personally dont wear makeup at all but just at family parties or at a party with my friends and thats all. But I dont blame people if they wear makeup or not. But I want to make sure I can recognize them without makeup on.
It can enhance a girls look some if it is done in a subtle and light way. I don't care much for "lots" of make up and think it looks fake.
I would say you do you, you look pretty regardless.
Do whatever you please, I don't have a strong opinion either way.
subtle is fine. Otherwise some girls look worst in make up then they look in real. Hygiene is more important. Most girls don't shower everyday. Some even feel as if they take showers on special days. Bathing is more important
I personally perfer girls without it. But i don't complain about it. Bc its not that big of a deal plus if it makes the girl feel better then im happy tho i always remind them they dont need it to be beautiful.
I have no issue with it until I find out the eyebrows you had were makeup... then that's where I draw the line.
I prefer natural beauty, makeup is not necessary, but natural looking cosmetics is ok (face powder, foundation, concealer, primer etc).
Personally i think make up takes away from the natural beauty of women that go all out. Now eye liner and some eyeshadow can help enhance natural beauty.
I think that there a standard level of makeup the girls should put in their face but more is bad... One more thing.. Natural beauty face is mush better then hiding your face behind a makeup products
I prefer the natural look. make up looks nice, but I feel guilty when I see a girl dolled up one day and the next not, and the level of attraction pales in comparison. ima be yourself type of person.
It's not necessary but okay and wanting to look better is quite natural. May look really really good.
But drawing eyebrows instantly makes you someone I don't want to have anything to do with, never do that! It's ugly and makes you look like a bitch.
I dont really like make up but if my girlfriend would do make up it'd be ok for me
It's fine. I don't think you really need it because you're fucking up your skin, but it's fine
Hey, guys who don't like makeup: I'm still wearing my eyeliner and my black eyeshadow and my black lipstick. Thanks.

using a little bit can be very nice. using sy special in special occasions: still nice.
Wearing enough to repaint the Sixhtus Chapel And/Or make you look 10years older or younger : not good 😅
The most important thing in a girl is her Soul I am not sounding like a romantic poet but that's damn true
Every woman is different there's no right or wrong answer to that
I personally don't care what guys think about it , I like it I'll do it
nicely done makeup is sexy, but it's one of those things that can just wreck your look if you aren't careful.
I prefer no make up for the most part. Make up is definitely nice if done correctly, but it's the natural beauty that attracts me the most.
Every single guy LOVES to see makeup on girls. If someone says that he don't like it he's lying. Makeup enhances girl's beauty, That's why makeup is made for.
You're wrong. Majority of boys don't like makeup. They're not lying. And makeup does not "enhance" a girl's beauty (well, not to all of them). For some it even makes them look A LOT older, like my sister once. She used so much makeup that instead of looking 16, you could say that she was 30. I don't know... makeup isn't supposed to make you look younger? Anyway, mostly guys do not like makeup. That's just that.
I personally don't like girl with a make up as it hides the true beauty of a girl which is what I love in some one. What I feel is a girl should be proud of herself than be happy with with some artificial stuff to make her look better.
Just some touch-ups to get an edge is completely fine, but hiding ur skin under a fake layer is what no guy would like at all. Moreover, we prefer natural beauty, trust me, a natural glowing skin is the best thing and a treat to look at.
Just don't cake it on until you look plastic. Some flaws make you look real.
No make up. It stinks, and I'm not looking at your real face, I'm looking at a lie!!!
I prefer no makeup/natural subtle makeup because it shows your true beauty, but I truly don't mind a full on makeup either
Personally, I just need a touch of #2 talc on my forehead to kill the shine :- )
It can look good. Less to none is generally better though.
A little bit is fine. Some people even look good with a lot. I prefer a more natural look, but makeup can look amazing if done right
Who are we to stop you? Do whatever you want.
I don't like girls who wear too much makeup. Be natural.
it is important to make them pretty and for any chick that wants to be taken seriously
Prefer without otherwise it gives bad vibes about the internal.
more than slight make up is a big turn off to me, but whatever float's women boats
I don't like makeup when it's caked on, I love it when it's subtle, it looks much better
