Is wearing makeup actually making some women look less attractive?

[Babyseal23]

I stopped wearing makeup about 5 weeks ago due to getting conjunctivitis for 2 weeks.

In them two weeks my eyelashes started growing more healthy and turning back blonde. My skin became clearer and my freckles started to show.

I found myself looking really cute and natural. I naturally have very golden mousey blonde hair so my eyelashes going that colour looked really unique and interesting in contrast with my big blue eyes.

Once my conjunctivitis went i started using mascara again but I really didn't like it. Like looked too dark on me and really unnatural.


Maybe its because its summer and my skin is looking less victorian ghost child and im giving more scandi surf chick vibes atm but Im feeling way more prettier without makeup lately.

I've kinda given up and stop seeing the point too. Its super hot and im heavily pregnant were have got to go really and who am I trying to look nice for when I look like the fat controller right now.

Maybe in winter ill have changed my mind as I usually look sickly but atm im really enjoying the natural look

In some cases, it's not that it makes them look worse as much as guys want to see who they're dating and not some mask of how you WANT to look.
As for it making you look worse, an example is a friend of mine who was very pretty before she started LOADING UP on the make-up!! One day, I met up with her and she was wearing LOADS of that black shit women put around their eyes!! Is it mascara? She started looking like a raccoon!!! Someone should've called the make-up police on her!! "PUT... THE MASCARA... DOWN!! NOW, STEP AWAY FROM IT AND NO ONE WILL GET HURT!"
I recently saw a picture of her a few days ago without the black stuff and she looks much older than her years and because of all the black stuff she used to wear, there seems to be a permanent shadow where she used to load it on. I guess it's loaded into her pores and it kind looks like a guy that hasn't shaved in a couple days.

In extreme form, absolutely. Just search for "faces of Mar-a-Lago". 😫🫣

Yes, when the makeup hides things instead of highlighting their features, or when its generally too much, exept like for a costume or something like that

[AI Opinion]

You’re not imagining it, some makeup can absolutely make someone look less attractive, especially if it fights against their natural coloring or features instead of enhancing them.

You’ve basically rediscovered your real face, and it suits your “Scandi surf chick” era perfectly 😂 Blonde lashes, freckles and pregnancy glow sound gorgeous and very you.

Makeup is a tool, not a rule. If you feel prettier bare-faced right now, that’s the right choice.

I would say it makes all of them less attractive. Maybe more physically pretty looking but less attractive cause everyone sees it's fake and people don't prefer what's fake.

Of course. Makeup is an art that requires judgment, skill and practice.

No, women always look better with make up on. That's why it was invented.

Some yes, some have such lovely innocent eyes without it just seen such a woman in store 2 days ago, was difficult to not look into her eyes they were amazing without make up

Only if it is applied wrong.

[jahaims]

Most women are less attractive in makeup

[In_Trance]

It makes all women less attractive

When it comes to make up, less is far better
