Here are some pictures of (in my opinion) attractive women (both before and after).
I often hear how men prefer natural, makeup free women but most of the time it's just them liking the "no makeup" makeup look.
In these befores and afters you can see the reality and then a decent still in limits makeup look with around average amount of foundation and makeup (no "caked" faces).
Do you still prefer natural over makeup? I'd be really grateful for honest answers! Please vote even if you add a comment.Fairly moderate makeup - not overdonein my opinion she has a good skin nonethelessThis is also a "problem" of mine, very light eyelashes
Natural version all the way
Makeup version is better

Guys who prefer makeup free girls - do you really think the real natural look is better?
Great question! I really enjoyed reading the opinions on this one. I wear makeup to cover up my perceived flaws. But tbh I get hit on more when I'm in sweats, no make up, and my hair is up. But I'm female and we tend to compare ourselves with other females so we are always trying to level the playing field. I honestly think that even if all the guys in the world said they hated makeup, we would still wear makeup. On the flip side, guys can sit there and say that they prefer no makeup but 8 out of 10 times they would be more attracted to a girl wearing makeup than to one who is not, if a choice was right in front of them. It's just facts.
No its not facts. More female delusions. My girlfriend i specifically chose her because she doesn't wear makeup and thinks its whorish and wrong. I agree. Immediately turned me on to her. On the other hand a girl i was talking to works at sephora and i just can't. No. No.
I don’t wear makeup because I have sensitive skin plus I think the chemicals are bad for the skin. I have a minimal skin routine anyways with natural ingredients. If I do wear makeup it’s occasionally and I take it off right away. I think makeup for women can make them seem intimidating and less approachable. The warm smile looks like a sneaky one. Take off the makeup, and you have a more approachable girl. When I did wear a full face of makeup, I looked like a totally different person it was scary.
I like natural-looking girls, but there's no doubt that SOME makeup will look better on most girls. But most guys are going to prefer makeup that is "natural look" over makeup that is gaudy, "high fashion", "ethnic", or is in any other way extreme. No blue eyeshadow, no "Egyptian eyes", no drawn-on eyebrows (especially the weird ones), etc. Makeup should look like it's at least remotely possible that she's not wearing anything more than eyeliner, even though we know she's usually wearing more.
All the girls you posted have makeup of the style that nearly all guys would be fine with.
i 100% ALWAYS agree about the eyebrows. But the wings or "egyptian eyes" can be really hot on some women. My girlfriend rocks them extremely well. I hate blue eye shadow though. Kind of makes me think of trailer park hookers ngl. Especially on the really fair skinned girls. EEK!
It's up to the girl of course, makeup doesn't bother me but when it's out on daily even when at home I question why it's necessary, feel like the media have caused girls to feel bad about their natural self.
In other words I'd pick no makeup anyday because with the natural look what you see is what you get and I just find that look much better. It's rare to see a girl out anymore not wearing makeup :/

It is rare but it's understandable. Many feel like they have to look good 24/7 because of many reasons (social media, certain men expecting women to look the same all the time, etc). I personally wear only eyeliner and mascara but I feel like it's not enough. My skin gets red and irritated easily and men really are attracted by perfect skin which few women are born with.
Trust me, if any man is not attracted to someone because they have a bit of acne or "irritated" skin then they aren't worth your time of day. You'll find the right person who sees you for whom you really are and will not care one bit about that. ;)
I see what your doing there but it's not an accurate and fair comparison.
There isn't a single natural pic up there, a girl that always wears makeup with no makeup on isn't natural, she has messed up her skin by always having makeup on. The makeup and harse chemicals used to clean it off every day Jack up her poors and cause acne, and sense there is always makeup covering her face it is now unnaturally pale cause it gets no sunlight or tan. Taking off makeup does not make you natural, after so long of wearing makeup tou basically need makeup.
Yes I do like the natural look, a girl who never wears makeup has a beautiful natural glow
I mean sometimes the natural look is better (I think the girl in the middle is a good example of that), but I don't think that's what guys are saying. I think they're saying that even though girls with make-up tend to look better, we prefer to see (more or less) her true self over a version of her that might not be an accurate representation of her true self. As I'm sure you can tell, the first and the last girl look like completely different people when they have that make-up on. And it's kind of shocking when you see them without make-up, and it doesn't feel good to feel like your partner has to have their make-up on for you to feel normal seeing them. So the problem isn't really with make-up in general, it's when you look like a different person.
No, they don't really think that. There are, in fact, two explanations to such proclamations:
1. They prefer women like in the pictures, with mininal to moderate makeup which complements the girl's natural beauty. They simply don't understand that this does qualify as makeup. What they really mean is that they don't like the clown/prostitute look of more makeup than face.
2. They are pathetic simp losers hoping that a girl who wears no make up throws them some pity cyber sex through this site. That's the most likely explanation considering the material in this site.
Bc at the end of the day you have to remove all that thing and see your real self when you do that you would feel more depressed bc not you made up two versions of you one fakeish and other the real.
If someone says men won't accept lol what other choices men have? We love you as you are it's ok toj be simple and know who you are truly and embrace it.
Face and beauty are only a few minutes of attraction the quality of a person would make a person to stay with them or not
Some women and usually they're pretty young like 19-22 don't really have acne or many skin imperfections so in this case other than the makeup maybe adding a little bit of color. I've noticed some girls can make it look like they had a nice tan vs pale with no makeup. In this case it's like why go through the effort if you look great either way? Honestly if I'm going on a date with a girl and she doesn't have makeup on I feel like she doesn't give a shit and just rolled out of bed to show up for our date.
The acne in the first pic will mostly go away once the make-up has been gone long enough. Blocking pores with make-up causes a lot of the issues the women that donfull facial make-up are trying to hide.

Not all of it is acne unfortunately. Some are just basic pimples. I'm 21 and I still battle with them, my mom as well xD
No answer will 100% fit everyone. Some people will always have acne or pits in their face. Overall though, I prefer the natural look, or very minimal make-up.
Yes. It’s doesn’t matter if the fake version looks better, because THATS NOT A REAL PERSON. That’s the whole problem. The makeup look is fakery, are you going to where makeup for the rest of your life?
The natural look is authentic. The ideal is to look good with natural features. If you aren’t attractive with your natural face then you are not attractive, full stop. All makeup does is hide unattractive features, and the more it hides the farther from real that fake face is and the worse it is.
I really don’t understand how girls can think a fake face is something guys would want to commit to.
Tbh I don't care what men think. I love make up. I don't cake it on but it gives me confidence and I look better. If a guy doesn't like it then he's not the man for me. I hate facial hair and dad bods and all that stuff but if a guy has that I just don't go near him. Simple. So for me I love make up and don't care if he doesn't
No men like fake his still gonna see your regular natural beauty in the morning when he wakes up next to you. So you in for the shock of looking fake all gone. Lol
@DaMac2021 yes but men see me naturally and say I look better. In the morning! I don't agree I think I look better fake but they love me naturally. It's very nice they say this. Boosts my confidence!
I like makeup on women. I just do. What can I say? doesn't have to be heavy make up with tons of foundation or nothing. I just find it feminine, cute that a girl does herself up. Makes her seem more soft and in touch with herself somehow. Also in my brain at least it kind of symbolizes that if they are doing that they tend to pay attention to their bodies so they will have better hygiene and health. Maybe that's not true but my brain just says that when i see it.
I don’t think all of these comparative pictures are great examples. I mean, yes when you’re with a girl long enough she might sometimes break out in a few zits around her period, and it’s something you shouldn’t mind too much if you love her, but I’m just into raw imperfections because studying art history made me appreciate natural beauty more.
First off... it's not "zero makeup" it's natural looking and minimal makeup. Secondly, yes, natural looks better in 99.9% of cases, assuming she is actually not just fugly. I've seen women who had a ton of acne but based on their good bone structure & personality, no guy would just dismiss them. Life is more complicated than airbrushed/fake insta.
They aren’t that pretty even with makeup. pretty women look good even without makeup. Most men can’t tell if women have a little makeup on and that is the type they like because it still looks nice but not overdone. They don’t like overdone. Of course everyone wants someone who looks pretty without makeup because that’s what he’s going to wake up to.
Here's the rub... That makeup has to come off at some point. The ones that wear too much usually have poor skin just globbing that crap in thick.
If they need makeup to look good, there is a lot more missing. If you take a guy and put a lot of socks in his pants, and put him into a sports car really any more sexy? It's all fake.
Real is the deal. If you're girl is ugly, be proud that someone will mess with her. If not, leave the ugly ones at home, or for target practice.
In honest words, it may take a short while to get used to some of the details, but that is because the surface "looks messy". After getting used to what you see when looking at it long or often enough, you will get used to it because it is the person's character that I place in my priority, so that is more important. What you see then only becomes superficial.
I think the redhead is the only one who looks good/maybe even better without makeup. With makeup she looks cute, but it's a different kind of look. I also like her hair wet.
The blonde girl is cute with makeup, but not without. But could also be the picture, I think a lot of girls look cute in person w/o makeup but the camera really highlights bad skin issues.
The brunette girl I just don't think she's very cute either way. Not ugly or anything just not attractive to me.
Guys are right and honest. ONLY if the girl looks pretty with and without makeup.
I’ve posted a similar question like this on myself, as a experiment. That guys told me I look a lot better with makeup on.
Even if I’m face timing with a guy, I’ve gotten a couple comments of a guy telling me: “can you please put on makeup or red lipstick 💄? Just something, please?”
It did hurt me, since it means they couldn’t accept me being true and natural.
Yikes, I've never actually heard of someone to get on that way. Maybe depends on what country you come from but no wonder girls feel the need to put make-up on if they are getting mocked like that. Honestly I wouldn't of let that phase me but yet again I'm not female so I don't know the feeling. Just assholes everywhere, they are not worth your thoughts or time.
So here is the issue too many women decide that makeup should be there nomrla look going as far as not allowing guys to see there face without it instead off something that makes it enhanced there looks so going out sure wear it if u want but when at home there is no need for it
Most of the guys I've seen who say they prefer natural actually mean they prefer nude tones in make-up. They'll point to someone and be like "Like her! No make-up and she's gorgeous" and she is gorgeous, but she also has on make-up and they just can't tell because she isn't wearing bright lipstick or eyeliner.
Attractive women look good without make up. If you’re attracted to the women in the pictures that’s your own taste. That doesn’t make them attractive. The first women, the face shape looks changed via photo-shop. She just looks weird and fake in the makeup pic... The other two have the same face shape, they just look like their face is smeared with paint and power.
Tbh for me i wld prefer both like u can be natural n u can wear makeup but just dont put too much makeup , cause too much is basically like you’re wearing a mask to cover your insecurities, which it won't work, but also it depends on the women and what she likes. In my opinion i want her natural cause i wanna see her natural beauty n i wanna fall for that n ill lover her even more with makeup get me?
