Mom always leaves an acne or some flaw uncovered so it looks natural. That vixen! ❤️

I can't speak for all men, but many can, including myself. It's actually a large aspect of how I judge a girl... whether I'd date her, what kind of personality she has, how materialistic she is, how high maintenance she is, how confident she is, how much of a sheep she is, etc... I can go on... but I genuinely have a distaste for women who use an excessive amount of fakeup. I always tell my partners not to put that shit on their face, and the only thing they might benefit from is a little eyeliner to really make their eyes captivating and the focal point of their face.

Yes.

My husband, for example, is amazingly good at that.

[Nikki1989]

Unlikely. Most men are not particularly observant.

[fonduegirl]

Right?

[Gobbyjobby52]

Yes, a woman's natural beauty may feel more ordinary to me but it's quieter calmer more inviting and warm on the face and a gentle type of feminine. Natural looking makeup can add a bit to it but it's not always necessary.

Caked makeup and aesthetics to me make a lot of women look a bit sharp and performative and just aggressive look in a way even if she's narratively prettier this way.

Your mom is smart. And I would say so, along with the safe bet if you aren't seeing her after directly she's woken up or taken a shower she has some form of make up on.
Is there such a thing as a girl who goes around never wearing any?

[Kaneki05]

Though I suppose one of my ex's never wore any really so actually I answered my question. She did at times but very minimal and that's to go out.

Some men don't pay much attention to that, and end up with a big surprise when the advertising comes off. But I believe most guys can tell heavy make-up from not heavy, but often don't know that a "natural look" can involve more make-up than they realize.

The Pratfall Effect. Your update, that is. Highly competent people are more attractive if they have one highly visible flaw, error, whatever, than if they shined uniformly like they are fresh off a production line somewhere.

Mom's clever

[DryGermanGuy]

On photos, probably not. In real life, yes (unless it’s in a dark club or bar).

The more the make up looks natural, the harder it will be for me to tell if they are wearing make-up or just have flawless skin.

[FunkyMonkee]

The point is, as long as your make-up doesn't drastically alter or obliterate what you really look like, you're fine. It's SUPPOSED to just ENHANCE what you have no completely change it!

[Grond21]

Not always. Which I think is the point of natural looking makeup

[MysticDevice]

It took a while but I managed to sort of figure it out.

It took a while cause I can't just stare at girls faces randomly. Thats how you end up in jail

Asian women are masters of makeup. They always look younger than they are

[beefcakebradybatson]

Sometimes, but some chicks are so expert at makeup they can disguise their plainness or enhance their beauty.

[Still-alive]

as a guy ill just tell you flat out, no we can't lol.

[lilBigPotato]

Some do, many don't.

[AngryCarl2]

No, guys have no clue.

[fonduegirl]

Appreciate the honesty, Carl xx

[On_cloud_wine]

Most of the guys I associate with, yes.

[Celticwolf78]

Yes because when she is not wearing makeup it's not very shiny and natural is shiny

[Kelly6]

@anon1903 mostly yes

[zombiewoof]

Do you wear very much makeup

[LiamS95]

Most of the time, Yes!

[fish5505_87]

I think for the most part, yes

[Brady]

nope

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sometimes I guess

[MasterKS]

Yes easily.
