I don't think most of the men who claim to prefer women with no makeup know what they are talking about. I think what they object to is obvious makeup like eye shadow, fake eye lashes, painted on eyebrows and eye liner, strange colored lipstick, etc. Heavy make up looks phony and can even seem clownish or make her look like a drag queen.
But the "no makeup" make up look can smooth out skin tones; highlight, accentuate or diminish certain features; and add subtle color without being obvious at all.
It's a fact that any woman who is past adolescence looks better with makeup. The right makeup can make her glow and look wholesome. And it's no more phony than having a cute hairstyle, shaved legs and underarms, and flattering clothing.
The key is to do it right. I think what some guys are saying is that they don't want to SEE the makeup. But 9 out of 10 times, they'll choose the woman who is wearing subtle makeup over the one who isn't wearing any at all because they can't actually see the makeup and will just think that the one wearing subtle make up is more naturally beautiful.
I'll add that more obvious makeup can be absolutely suitable for certain special or formal occasions.
I've heard guys say that a woman wearing makeup is misrepresenting herself to be more beautiful than she actually is; that she is out to fool them. I say that's nonsense. First, a bit of makeup can't conceal her natural features. Second, who actually wants their partner walking around looking like she just got out of bed with tired shadows under her eyes and dry lips?
I will grant that young women look lovely without make up when they are at the beach, swimming in a pool, or fresh out of the shower. Nevertheless, most women look better with a bit of makeup, even if it's just tinted lip gloss.
It must also be said that there ARE a few guys who genuinely prefer no makeup or shaved body parts. I would think such guys would be woodsy or hippie types who aren't into stylin' it with their partners.
Number 4 and 6 thumbs are not wearing makeup. You have to know what to look for. If they dress up the eyes or have colorful lips that don't accent their face, big giveaway.
In a nutshell, a young girl can look the best without makeup generally. They still wear it, and some over the top.
But as women age, they will want to look youthful, which is what most men naturally graviate to, wired by DNA mate with the best looking.
And as women age, the more they use makeup, especially foundation and concealer to cover up stuff. And even why we now have all these picture filter apps that take out the lines from photos.
I can remember the first time I dated this 38 year old woman. She looked good. And after some bedroom fun early on she showered up and came into the room and I realized that her natural looks were fading fast. And she quicky put makeup back on.
Now that I am in my 50's, all these women in their 40's can dress to the 9's, but get them home and now you have all kinds of things going on. This is going to sound bad, but I really get why men chase younger women. Us guys are actually uglier so to speak in these older ages, but our attraction to youth is strong. And makeup allows for that that.
I don't use make up if I do it's to look like a ghoul for Halloween 🎃 😜, it's still hard to tell which girls are natural though since girls have been getting really good at applying it. Overall the only one I think looks like she has no makeup is the girl in the far right middle.
I have had a lot of girls ask me what Makeup I use and I would tell them none. They don't believe me, also been asked what I used for my face I also just showered regularly so I guess shampoo. Lol
I pissed off some people just for not giving an answer that suit them. 😑🥴
Overall though makeup is my sisters thing and my family runs with sensitive skin already I was not a fan but I can truly appreciate people with makeup skills it's not as easy and simple and is a process of creating art. ❤️
Most guys don't and most women put at least two products on even if it's to moisturize and balance their skin tone.
Guys have this idea of 'too much makeup' and it's entirely subjective. Like with push up bras, guys will 'oogle' an attractive woman (stating it's natural for men to oogle), and then be quick to tear her down for finding out 'it's not natural, it's a trick.'
I think it's normal to have preferences, like my boyfriend dislikes some lipsticks because he claims they taste funny, or they are sticky or leave a mess. But it's another to actively defame someone's character for wearing something that perhaps you don't like or agree with, particularly if you find the outcome attractive.

@hi_it_is_me123 this is a response to you, but I had to post it separately. I guess you blocked me when you though I was trolling. No hard feelings but I had a response and realized you blocked me. I personally never block people.
No, I make a point of not ignoring what others say. I find it better to listen and respond even to those you disagree with for various reasons (not the least of which is to improve my ability to argue, and get used to rude behavior to test my temper against their's so-to-speak). Of course, the exception to that would be if they were like a broken record saying the same things over and over when I already addressed them. Debate is more about points and counterpoints than spouting dogma or even opinion.
Anyway, thank you for you considered responses. I never swear, curse, or use any form of foul language. I use words only in the capacity of their denotation or connotation.. A few times some questionable words have slipped out (oddly enough not in anger as one might expect; guess some of my friend are kind of a bad influence, hehe).
Tbh no, make up is a fairly natural part of getting dressed.
we are not talking heavily covered in make up, we are talking a bit of mascara, a quick flick with a brush on the cheeks.
Also natural skin tone and lighting play a huge part.
when done minimalistic it is hard to tell but the effect enhances what is already there.
If applied with gusto, yeah you can easily tell, as the fake tan, 2cm of face paint (foundation) and bright red lips are a give away.
However if the make up is applied to match skin tones, to be minimalistic and complimentary, it becomes very much a natural look and it’s hard to tell (unless up close or not applied well).
u in real life yes, I can tell the difference right away...
online pics... no idea, because nowadays you have makeup, you have different cameras, and different lenses, and then you have different devices that turn the digital info into something else, and then my own device will make it's own version of it... and let's not even mention air brushing, filters and photoshop... and then lightning used or not used.
simple answer... I have no idea
what I do know is that, if more make up will be used, then it should be as great as your other post with the different looks... if you're going for it then make it fucking amazing looking... lol.
I like when a woman wears makeup. I even like heavy makeup, especially eyeliner and fake eyelashes, I think there's something very sexy about it. I'm not so into heavy blush/rouge. Lipstick I'm on the fence because I think it looks sexy, but I really don't like kissing a girl and having lipstick smear all over my face; so, just for looking.
In the pictures, I think most of them are wearing makeup. Going from left to right, top to bottom , the first three women definitely. 4 and 5 maybe not or very light. The last one hard to tell. Also, as someone else mentioned, pictures are more difficult to tell because of filtering, light, etc.
Your profile pic is a great example of sexy eye makeup and lashes done right. I would even say the eyeliner could be heavier lol, but that's just my personal preference.
I'd like to think I can usually tell, but I'm sure I still miss some, if they are really talented it can look very natural. In the more difficult ones I try to examine the eyes and cheekbones, like if you can't see any eyebags or wrinkles, if thier brows look too filled in or full, do they look like they used something on their lashes, can I notice any blush or contouring, pretty much if there's little imperfections I'll suspect they have make up on. Doesn't matter too much though I will always try to focus on the things I like about them, makeup or not :)
I think it's easy to tell in person. All of these women appear to be wearing airbrush makeup with different accents.
It's a bit annoying when I see an attractive woman post a picture with brow pencil, tinted chapstick, mascara, and bronzer on her cheeks and a caption that says, "Me without makeup. I'm not feeling well today." Then a ton of guys respond about what a "natural beauty" she is, "without makeup." To me, that's worse than any flawed natural face.
To answer the questions.
A.1. Usually, except when they are really good at applying to look natural.
A.2. They all look like they used something except middle and bottom right, i can't really tell. Bottom right may have some light face makeup, but the lack of sculpting on her eyebrows leads me to believe she just might be natural.
As to my opinion on make up, i like no make up. I tell my wife she doesn't need it, she insists she does. It is really because every line, scar or blemish i have been there and know their stories. Why cover up history? Whenever we have the chance i will ask her to wash off her makeup before we are intimate because i enjoy seeing her as her and not what she wants others to see. I'm her husband not some rando she needs to impress.
Girls may assume guys care so much whether she wears make up or not but let me clear about something, I have three older sisters, I know the difference when a girl looks tired AF and has make up on her face. Now for guys to say, "we prefer natural beauty with no make up", I really don't know if those guys are being genuine or not because I can't speak on behalf of all guys. I understand the importance for make up for girls and I'm not going to be a dick and say "take that goop off your face". I try to be understanding as a male to a female's mindset. I have never had a girlfriend in my life but whether she had makeup on or not, I would still say she is beautiful. Besides, if anyone wants their skin to look more vibrant and healthy, drink more water and eat more fruits/veggies and get enough sleep and try to reduce stress. Those are very basic things for males/females.
Guys can’t tell at all the other day I was wearing natural makeup and my boyfriend was like see you look so beautiful without makeup I was like I am wearing makeup tho 🙈. And another time after that we went to the gym together and he was like who you wearing makeup for , I was like dude I’m not wearing makeup 🤦🏻♀️. Like how can’t you tell
I think women interpret men saying that the wrong way. Women don’t understand men are complimenting natural beauty when they say that. I’m personally someone that is really bad at make up, and my boyfriend can tell when I have put it on even though my make up usually comes out natural like the ones in the pics
i bet most men only notice makeup when it's overdone. Thats what it means when some men say they "dont like makeup" or they "prefer natural" most of the time. They're referring to that type of overly done makeup.
They probably dont realise most women have a bit of makeup on, and the look they're calling "natural" is actually this same look. This is just speculation though, as to why there's so many of those "all natural" men.
I definitely notice. I tell girls not to bother simply cause it guys aren't going to compliment you for the effort so its like just come as you are not as what you think guys want. Cause most guys want the girl as she is not what she think she is.
Plus make up makes girls look kinda fake if its not like done right. TDLR: "Just be you."
My sister can't even tell if a woman is wearing makeup sometimes. I think that I am more aware than most guys, but some of these girls are just too good at putting on makeup that looks natural. I know that girls have this thing called nomakeup makeup so it looks like they have no makeup on. If I had to guess, I'd say most or all of them are wearing makeup, and if one or two are not, it's the two on the bottom.
Silly. Guys don't know anything about makeup, so don't even bother asking. They just know pretty when they see it. So never under estimate the value of looking your best.
And don't confuse getting made up like some kind of clown-prostitute is what makeup is about - the guys surely don't.
Nah dont listen to men, watch their actions. Women with no excessive make up aka women with daily make up are "natural" to men. I often see them chasing unnatural women. A man who wants a natural woman is lying otherwise they would not mind non shaven women with no make up although men also dont shave themself
I think women and men that need to wear make up. Have issures with themselves. Ones that dont want or need makeup have a good head on their shoulders.
Thats why in the talking stage if they say they can't go outside without makeup. I break it off and move on
I recently learned about the existence of “foundation” makeup that make the skin appear more evenly. And I still don’t really know what it looks like in different levels applied.
So no, I’m pretty sure I’d be very poor in estimating how much makeup someone uses. That is, unless we’re literally having either Joker or nothing.
Largely depends on the skill level of the person applying the makeup and how much they are putting on as to wither or not I can tell they have makeup on, for example the "half inch of foundation" look is just not something I find attractive personally I hate to see women hide their natural beauty with makeup.
Most of the time, I can tell quite clearly whether a woman is or isn’t wearing makeup- but we look awesome either way lol
A lot of men don’t know… they’ll see a woman who a normal everyday makeup look at looks natural and be like “I prefer women with no makeup but then like the exact opposite lol
