Why do women who like to wear a lot of makeup receive hate from men for it?

Personally, I like to wear basic vintage-style make up something like light pink or matte red lipstick, depending on the occasion/situation, time of the day etc +classic style eyeliner + maybe a bit of blush. I don’t like and never wear glitter/highlight makeup or colorful eyeshadows, etc.



Whether a woman likes to wear makeup or not should be eventually her choice, despite our personal preferences.


I see some girls around me who are absolutely amazing without wearing heavy colorful makeup or putting on dark color lipsticks (e. g., brown/black) and smokey eye makeup. However, it could be their own way to present their beauty or to construct an identity.

My guess is because most guys like a girls natural beauty , he wants her to be beautiful without make up , so if a girl is constantly wearing makeup then he might feel that she isn’t pretty underneath all that make up. And she is trying to cover up something . Some girls look completely different when they don’t have make up on , so it’s one of those things that it’s a hit or miss , a guy feels he is taking a 50/50 chance with her , she might look hot as hell with the makeup so he gets her in bed has great sex and then when he wakes up next to her and her makeup is smeared and pretty much gone and she doesn’t look the same from the night before then he might think to himself oh wtf did I do last night? why did I bang this girl? , she lis ugly without that make up on lol So honestly a girl is better off wearing less makeup so he can get a better look at her natural beauty

some guys get pissed off regardless, too much, too little, not at all... same with some women too.. the thing is in my opinion
IF a woman wants to wear makeup, or whatever then it's her right, and choice to do so... if guys dont like it... well you know what... stay out of their makeup, you dont have to wear it... so let them be happy in what they choose it's their body

Sometimes it can be too much and end up taking away from your natural beauty. The middle picture is a great example, one you can tell she's had way too much lip filler, the eyebrows are bit over exaggerated, and the makeup looks harsh because of highlight under the brows and sharp line underneath the eye. All that combined makes it look bad. I actually like the first and last picture better cause they look more natural, in the last picture it just looks like the girl could be tanned or possible used to much bronzer on the face.

They all look ridiculous... you can wear a lot of make up tastefully instead of looking like a Manchester girl meme

[jwtt11]

Why Manchester

[Wonderer89]

@jwtt11 it’s a make up trend parody at the moment, the song Manchester girl to a “make up trend”

[Asker]

Most of them aren’t even from the UK. You are strange the meme is based on orange foundation and messy buns and oversized eyebrows which none of these beauties have

[Wonderer89]

It’s got nothing to do with being from the UK, it’s a stereotype for women wear a ton of foundation, contour, overdrawn (and extremely underlining them with concealer) eyebrows and over lined nude lips. Great you don’t see orange messes with overdrawn duck lips and enough concealer to hide a tattoo but you’ve asked why men don’t like how they look and that’s exactly why.

Honestly? Look at the third pic down again! I don't throw 'hate' at anyone? But isn't that a 'bit' on the heavy side with the warpaint? I thought the point of makeup was to accentuate beauty, not to look like a coat of creosote, but that's just my two cents.

[NarutoUzumaki007]

because the purpose of make up is to make you look even better. What's the point if you are gonna end up looking like a clown like that.

it just says you are trying too hard and not self aware of your own looks. You think you actually look good in so much makeup , that's just zero self awareness

[NarutoUzumaki007]

and before someone says it's her choice what she wants , let me say it's my choice as well whether I like it or not.

So do what you want , wear a kilogram of makeup of that's what you want , but don't complain when guys don't like you. It's their choice as well what they prefer and what they don't

[Dongtai]

If a man appeared to be 6 ft but later revealed he was wearing stilts after the first date would you be mad?


Most women would. Why? Because they agreed to go out with a man that was 6ft, not a guy with fake legs. Men get upset with women who wear makeup for the same reason. It’s a lie.

[purplepoppy]

Because they look ridiculous. There seems to be a pseudologic among some women that goes "women wear make up therefore I I'll be more woman if I wear more" its as if they feel the need to be seen to conform to women=makeup by slapping enough on to grow potatoes in.

[Alex_andrine]

Men only do it online or behind their back. Face to face they love it... I mean you can have a lot of makeup and the result will enhance your most beautiful features. When done "wrong"with bad techniques or trying too much... i think this is mostly what they don't like. The "trying too much" you know. Doing makeup is part of my job and i always say that the goal is too Enhance what's already there, not just cover up "imperfections ".

[TadCurious]

The fact that most guys think that too much makeup applied in poor taste does not look good should never be a matter of hate for that girl. A person should be able strongly dislike what a person purposely does to their appearance without hating that person. The person is not deserving of hate simply because she has bad taste.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao wtf is them pics you posted 🤣 those are the bad representations of why men shittalk it 🤣 but deep down if a girl didn't wear makeup then a guy would prob suggest it. I personally am not into wearing makeup

[Asker]

They are the main influencers I see getting men make crude comments on their makeup? Girl are you ok

[RHK36]

For one it generally isn't done well, so comes across as looking bad or fake af. Two, it's just bad for your skin. Three, that's a lot of money wasted for your insecurities to try and make yourself feel pretty. Four, men already have to wait a long time for you to get ready to go out.

But yeah you do you. I'm sure someone out there loves all that war paint on your face.

[An_Impulse]

because its all about after effect.. you get to meet a beautiful woman.. you enjoy the time, you say to yourself 'well.. she is actually looks beautiful' and when you woke up the next day.. its totally someone else with tons of paint..

natural beauty is much more preferable.. not paintjob..

Ferrari is good with engine and all that.. Painting a car to red doesn't make car ferrari.. this is basicly it.

[OpenWine]

I think that when men show hate for that it's because they don't like seeing a pretty girl caking herself into looking like trash it's like a lot of lost potential. some women are very pretty but when you see them with make up you don't feel any attraction to them it's as if a little girl found her moms make up case and tried to make herself look like a clown.

maybe that's just me then but I don't say that to women I just think that and you get to hear the truth here

[madprofessor]

Women want a real guy, but wear makeup, do their lash's, nails, have extension's etc. I don't have a problem with a woman wearing makeup, but if it takes you more than a few minutes to get ready for work or shopping (really do you need it for shopping?), it's to much. Now if you want to get all dressed up for dinner go for it, just look more natural than fake.

[In_Trance]

Because make up alters their imperfect faces to look however they want to be perceived. However that may be, it's unnatural. Who wants fake? That's exactly what makeup is.
Ironically, most women say they're afraid of clowns... yet put just as much makeup on and expect men to be ok with it? Yea...
Finally, i think women really do it for other women. Lots of guys don't care about it, but all women care about it. they want other women to take notice

[1truekhaleesi]

Because too many men think women actually consider their opinion before doing literally anything in their life.

[1CentWorth]

those women look weird in those poses. Except for maybe the first one. And their makeup sucks. I'm ok with makeup, but don't put it on with a butter-knife.

Seriously, except for the first one, all those lips look like are perforated assholes.

[Pulse75]

I am of the opinion that I prefer a natural look, I don’t mind a little bit of makeup, but if I can see the makeup on your face is a way different color then your neck then you should probably watch some YouTube videos on how to do makeup properly. Also an over excessive amount of makeup makes a woman look unattractive because women need to know how much is too much! Just ask someone that has your best interests in mind and that will be honest with you.

[nodnol32]

Because you simply can't praise everyone. Its not just makeup. A woman can receive hate for other reasons too from men. Its worth looking past that. Women do what they like for them and thats what really matters.

[nodnol32]

Not praise. I meant to write 'please'

[Anonymous]

I could care less what real women do. I personally don't like makeup and prefer women without it. I know women who don't and I like that, but ones who do can do whatever. These pictures don't look appealing and half these women look plastic with fake lips (also #3 looks trans), these women don't look real or natural. I don't hate these women, they don't look secure, but they can do what they want. I just don't seek these kinds of women.

[Adam1978]

Because they look ridiculous. Just like clowns it's hardly funny.

[ChaoticHatred]

The look of a natural women is amazing on it's own, but if they want to put on makeup I feel like they have their own right to do so. It makes women feel better, more confident even. So if they feel good, refrain from taking it away.
