Do guys really prefer women who wear minimal makeup?

Question

egarcia1360 · Accepted Answer

However much makeup you wear, the key is to not be fake. Most people, male or female, don't want to be with someone who feels the need to routinely deceive others. It's one thing to put on a little bit of makeup to accent natural beauty and maybe cover up minor flaws like pimples, and another entirely to add a measurably thick layer making you practically unrecognizable.

Note: I don't see anything wrong with wearing lots of makeup as a sort of art form, as long as that's the obvious intent. The real issue is when people try to pass off copious amounts of makeup as their actual faces, which is a glaring display of insecurity, not to mention a setup for disappointment when they take it off.

I dunno. How does she look like? I'm okay if she wear it in the bedroom. Please wear in the bedroom if it helps a lot and take off after, not before. I am okay if I wake up next to monster. She become pretty again after she puts all that stuff on. But I don't want her to become monster after dinner when we come home and I'm kissing her concealed monster face looking like princess and taking off her clothes. Don't take that off please.

Yes. Who wants makeup all over their clothes? I know I wouldn't. Some ladies think they know how to apply makeup, but they don't. Poor babies! They put on way too much without blending it in. Now she looks like a clown and/or a prostitute. So I don't blame them for wanting a lady wearing minimal makeup. Men will tell you that they do not like heavy makeup on a lady. I don't wear makeup, just lipstick.

I know i'm not a guy but based on my experience, men like minimal makeup on women who are naturally beautiful without it. For those who aren't physically attractive to them, they'd prefer if they wore makeup.

Yuushiro · Answer

No makeup = lack of effort
A little makeup = great!
A lot of makeup = I can't even see her face wtf
Pop star makeup = please... no more... I can't take this anymore.

Yes, no makeup can be a turn off depending on how you look without it on (normally it's just meh whatever), but too much makeup is 100% worse.

ThomasTKay · Answer

I prefer minimal to no makeup. I also prefer no tans, no boob jobs, no over the top hair style, no pubic hair removal, no fake eyebrows, no fake tans, etc. The patterns is that I appreciate natural beauty as well as a girl who is comfortable and confident being herself in the body she was given and allowing that body to reflect who she truly is.

MrOracle · Answer

In most cases, yes. Obviously if you are going out to a big event or something, that might be an exception, but for daily wear, less is more.

How many times have you heard ANY man complain about a woman not wearing makeup, or not enough makeup? I bet that number is VERY close to zero. Doesn't that tell you something? 😁

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. They want a real person not some plastic person that takes their face off at the end of the day. Natural/real beauty should obviously be more desirable than wearing a facemask to pretend to be attractive.

Guys would prefer not to have that fakery. We’ve all seen nightmare on/off makeup comparisons. A lot of women try to use that stuff as justification for why guys prefer makeup, but it’s actually an argument for why they don’t want the makeup: they want to see your real face so they don’t get caught in that nightmare scenario. Not to mention that there’s plenty of natural features that are attractive which women obliterate when they put on makeup and turn into plastic person.

raven6933 · Answer

The whole clown bit is way over done. I have seen some really beautiful women without makeup and looked worse no matter who did it. The smearing and unnecessary money spent just to please someone else isn't worth it. I always do what ever it takes to talk them out of and then show what I see. What's really great is when they get up and look like they rolled out of bed and look more amazing than without looking like something she's not.

CapnHawk · Answer

Minimal make-up. I've seen some women slather on so much make-up that it makes them look like an Apache Indian going on the warpath.

kencu67 · Answer

Yeah little or no. Would you like a guy who puts on fake muscles?

TonyV · Answer

I do, I like eyeliner and lip gloss but I dont care about the rest at all. I honestly think makeup just wrecks their skin.

I like girls with freckles so covering up freckles is a sin in my eyes!🤣

And believe or not I like to see a little acne cause I know she isn't wearing makeup.

KingdomForAKiss · Answer

Male think they like minimal make-up but what they really like is the "appearance" of minimal make-up, which often takes a good amount of it, combined with skilled application.

TremorJay · Answer

It's more like I prefer to date a woman and know what she looks like, vs. date a woman who has to wear a mask to feel secure in her appearance

If girl A wants to put on a bunch of makeup for an event, or a night out, go for it. She probably looks hot too. Just don't sleep in it, and definitely don't wake up at 5am the next day to give yourself a "touch up"

Anonymous · Answer

Depends, Women I'm not attracted to look better with it, women I'm attracted to look better without it. It does change the appearance, but if I'm attracted to a woman, I want her real face. If she occasionally wanted to wear it, that's cool, but prefer her natural look.

Anonymous · Answer

They probably think the girls are wearing minimal make up. But if the make up is done well it isn't noticeable.
Guys think heavy make up is bright colors, thick layers and just weird colors.

Guys mostly say this is minimal and natural but this is a lottt. But it is done well

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

I love natural beauty when it comes to women & a little makeup or none is better than kissing a powdered donut.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

form daily life minimal or no makeup is preferred. but for date night or special events a bit more is good.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, I do, just to cover her imperfections with minimal amount of it, not full cake face.

Like a lot of them cover freckles ( if she has them), I like them...

Or all fashion against curly hair, what is that all about? I like curly hair too...

It could be that it is just me, I'm not going to tell her how much makeup she has to use, or what hairstyle, or what to do with her body, I will just move on or not even get there in first place...

_SOARER · Answer

My mom and sister never wore make up. Only twice my sister has worn make up, for comic-con and prom 😂 Those are the two most beautiful women I know.

PeterAyre · Answer

Yeah or no make up at all if you are naturally beautiful. I like my partner to mix it up (she doesn't, she tends to not wear make up, but it is her face after all). You don't want a full face to become your partners norm, save it for date night.

NamerOfStars · Answer

A big issue is that it's not the makeup- it's the obsession around it. You can spend a small fortune and half your life making yourself look better, and you will look better, no question. But is that really what you want to do with your life?

Twalli · Answer

We like to know what our girlfriend looks like without makeup. If she looks amazing with little to no makeup that's a good thing.

diablo200 · Answer

Yes, I genuinely think natural beauty is great and one should not spend lot of hours to put makeup on oneself. Of course it's everyone's personal choice. We can't judge anyone on that

Don-_-Don · Answer

Yes, I can't imagine why anyone would like a girl with a shit ton of make up. The more make up just means the more you try to hide how you actually look. We don't like that, just show your real face.

MrTuxedo · Answer

Absolutely. To be honest, what I absolutely love is eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick, but I do not care about anything else.

Massageman · Answer

If a gal is naturally good looking, she needs less make-up.  Nothing fancy is involved here either. Clean face, clear eyes, hair that complements her face, and a smile.

humanearth · Answer

Honesty I never dated or married a woman that wore make-up. Not even eye liner. Make-up is a turn off to me.

dave216 · Answer

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Am speaking for my self here! YES, I do.  No make up and no high heels and no jewelry.

Anonymous · Answer

I prefer women to be maximally hot. So whatever makes that happen works for me. Turns out, SOME makeup will help the cause. Also turns out, if you're applying it with a trowl, chances are it's too much.

tjbyrd39 · Answer

I am one of those men. I prefer natural beauty. I'm not opposed to some make up. But if you walk around caked up with make up.. noooope just not my thing.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

The only thing I do not care for is the overdoing it makeup look. I guess the term is “club look”. I am just not attracted to that look.
