She is beautiful either way. But not all females look like that without make-up. So do you feel cheated when women wear make up?

I didn't ask this question to have men validate make up or disapprove it. I asked because I hear quite a few guys complain about makeup. I was wondering when they are attracted to a female with make up on do they feel deceived when she doesn't wear it. Also, I wear light make up, so, I don't have a issue with make up. The lady in the pic is beautiful either way. I thought the makeup only enhanced her natural beauty.
Guys, Do you think females wearing make up on a daily basis is deceitful?
Some guys wear make up on a daily basis, is that deceitful?
I'm not sure the best definition to go by, especially since many of the definitions I found use the word in its definition. So I picked this one: The act or practice of deceiving; concealment or perversion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; fraud; cheating. If you have a better one, we can go with that.
Is the truth of a person when they lack make up, or that fact that they wear make up?
It's fairly common for women to wear make up; and I would say just as common for people to know that it's common for women to wear make up. So it would be a high percentage truth that any given woman you see, is wearing make up.
I would call that a greater truth than the concept that humans aren't using outside means to change appearance. I would say it's common for both genders to do that. Just the fact that we wear clothing is a means to change appearance. So which is a greater truth, the lack of outside means or the knowledge that we use outside means?
Is the intent of make up to mislead?
I'm not sure how a person can be misled when they have knowledge of the change in appearance. If someone says, "I know she is wearing make up, and I feel deceived because I don't know what she looks like without it." I'm not sure that sentence makes sense. It wouldn't be a deception. I'm not sure the best word that person could use. I don't know for certain, but I'm assuming they are disappointed that their reality doesn't match their fantasy. Which has nothing to do with deception.
Deceitful is a big word. I mean, it's not like men can't tell when a woman's got a lot of makeup on. They should know that she doesn't always look like THAT. LOL
My thing is this: if I like a girl it's because I find her whole package to be beautiful, so I would prefer to see her more natural.

I can definitely see why people would think it's deceitful. However, some of the guys reactions to the before picture make me think "well no wonder why some women feel they have to wear make up then". Like truly, if you have a choice between a girl who is wearing no or minimal make up versus a girl who is wearing a lot of make up and looks really nice, who honestly are they going to choose?
And seriously, there are ways to make make up look natural, are most guys going to know whether she is wearing a lot of make up or not? I know I personally have a hard time telling. Most guys have no clue about contouring and foundation or concealer, etc...
I have severe acne and my skin has always been terrible. Because of this I don't wear a lot of make up. And I don't get a lot of male attention. But I do wear mascara. So I know when I'm with a guy he likes me for who I am and is attracted to me.
I don't criticize people for wearing make up though. In my experience, women who are really good with make up get more male attention. So again, I don't blame girls for wearing make up!
I think everything needs to be done in moderation.
I personally wouldn't cake make up on my face, the most I will wear is some powder, i'm not wearing foundation, bronzer, powder and concealer. I like black eye liner though, mascara and different colors of lip gloss.
It's fun to try looks with your eyes and change your lip color, I don't understand men who say "I can't even see what she looks like through all of that makeup" well damn, the only difference is, my lips will be a different color and my eyes won't have a black line above them, I won't be unrecognizable, use your f'n imagination lol
I personally don't care if anyone else likes how I do my makeup, my boyfriend has seen me with it and without it and he loves how I do my makeup just as much as he does me without it, so f what anyone else thinks I should with my own face.
We I wear my makeup, how i've always worn it and he was attracted to me and the way I wear it because he likes it. I didn't all of a sudden change how I am to be with him, he was attracted to me for being who and how I am. So how exactly does that not matter?
I think I'm must cases it either looks like a heavy mask of thick foundation and powder and layers of goo or it is lite and natural. If it looks like it needs a power sander to get down to the real deal they should run. it is also a sign of insecurity and wasting $ if they need that much product. Also if Che needs that much she can't bad spontaneous it takes her all day to get ready. And it will get all iver your sheets furniture and bedding. It will taste awful too. Take her swimming that will reveal her true looks. If she isn't comfortable with that you should be concerned. Natural beauty with makeup to accentuate the positive is great. I only do eye makeup lipstick and only at night or In the winter blush but I tan well.
I'm not a guy, but I don't necessarily find it deceitful. A lot of people are insecure and makeup is their way of feeling good. Others just like the art of it.
I don't think you're lying and I'm not a man you can wear it as much as you want hun. I don't have problem all I'm saying is you gotta take it off sometime
Damn right it is!!! since I like to get what I "saw". Not what I thought that i was going to be getting in a girl "looks wise" -_-.
I mean what happens when she finally pulls of that war paint and becomes average at best looking... then what? Am I suppose to be happy about that? Especially since then I'll be able to see all her flaws? I mean look at ole girl in the picture for example. On the #left she looks #sick + like her skin is dry as all hell yet on the right she looks pretty damn good. I'm guessing that it is because of the war paint covering her flaws on the right ^_^.
I mean you don't see me hiding my #looks behind a veil as a guy in order to attract women, right? So why do women feel the need to do it while saying "I only do it to feel confident" #DaFaq? So in order to feel good about yourself you have to fake about who you're/what ya really look like? If that's the case what is the point then? LOL #donei1127.photobucket.com/.../ezgif.com-add-text.gif
I think females should have their own mind made up whether they want wear make up or not i don't call it being deceitful , I just think women like to wear make up to make their self's feel better just like guys wear a special cologne to feel better about their self. I really don't see it being a problem.
Do guys not work out, not use hair gel or those sprays that cover up how bald they are, do they not wear nice clothes lol. Why is none of that considered deceiving.
Well, if you guys are after girls that naturally look like the one on the right, then I have some bad news for you.
No girl without make-up will have all the great features that make-up applies. (In the picture on the right.) Flawless and even skin? Foundation. Eyes stand out? Eye make up. Cute pink cheeks? Blusher. Defined cheek bone? Contour. Perfect glossy lips? Lipstick/lipgloss.
I'm not saying that NO girl looks pretty without make-up or can't have a couple of the features above. But if you're expectations are unrealistic, then of course you're going to feel like it's deceitful.

I'm honestly appalled at the number of guys who answered yes to this question.
If a woman, is wearing makeup, you must be an idiot to think that she has naturally ruby red lips, pink cheeks, black-lined eyes, bronze eyelids, etc. So how can you feel that it's deceitful to wear this makeup? You are not being deceived, it is clear she's wearing makeup! To enhance her natural beauty! And there's nothing wrong with that! Stop getting butthurt that women don't look like the photo on the right naturally! Good luck finding a human being to have a relationship with if you're standards are that unrealistic!! Bye!!!
females can choose if they do or dont want to wear makeup. either way they are beautiful. if a man has a problem with this, then that's even better for us, because it filters out the shallow ones from the genuine ones.
Please realize that this question is about physical beauty. As in, what you look like. The generic "everyone's beautiful because we're all unique" nonsense doesn't apply here.
As long as both people don't stop putting in the effort to please each other, then I don't see how it could be deceitful. If you introduce yourself as something such as a girl that wears makeup, then stop wearing makeup after a commitment is made then that would be deceitful. The guy is going to expect her to keep putting in that same effort. Much like how a girl that meets a guy with a great paying job, would expect him not to quit his job and sit at home all day as soon as they get married.
The photo of me for my profile image, with my hair down, I'm not wearing make up. The second photo of me, that is on my profile. I am wearing make up... As you can see, I look good with and with out make up. So I don't think I am being deceitful. But if I put on make up and looked completely different, and am not as beautiful naturally, and a guy saw me one day without it... It think he'd be pissed.
There are women who rely on make up for beauty
Then there are women who only use it to enhance the beauty that they already have.
I think some are deceitful because they don't look that way all. the time and when they meet a guy. they're face is full a make-up and even on the second time they. but when u get to really see them for how they are men will be like wtf who are its like you're a whole new person. They could be insecure which is why they wear it, there's nothing wrong with makeup I just don't see the point of wearing it everyday. It takes away from natural beauty anyway
But to me this is how females wear contacts then when you see her real eyes you're like you lied to me who the fuck are you? Lol
Honestly she has a face full of make up... not only is she covered with concealer foundation blush bronzer but also has her eyebrows filled and has eye shadow on. If a girl needed this much make up everyday of course it is deceitful... I only dress up like that for things like prom or grad which happens ever so often.
If a girl is completely overing her looks thats one thing... if a girl wears a little mascara and a thin layer of eye liner and covers pimples or whatever up with a little foundation instead of having foundation on her ENTIRE face than guys would not be surprised. I have never had a guy tell me I look like a different person without makeup because I don't spend two hours covering my face with it. I spend maybe 5-10 minutes and 15 minutes on the days I need to put eye liner on.
Just be you... you don't to be covered in all that stuff.
That's why you should always wear less make up so that it looks natural. Then, when it comes to taking it off, it isn't a shocker. I once sent me ex a picture asking which one he preferred: the one with makeup or without and he said "I don't know, you look the same, there's only a little difference. I like both". Personally, I think that make up should only be used in small quantities to enhance the natural beauty that you already have

Well the fact is whether anyone wants to admit it or not is that physical attraction is the first thing you judge people on before personality. The MOMENT you first look at someone you are judging them by their appearance. Loving someone for their personality comes later through multiple dates. Women are attracted to men for what they really look like while a lot of men fall for women that appear to be something else than they are. To the girls that are talking crap about doing it for themselves that's irrelevant to this conversation. The motive isn't important, what were talking about is the repercussions and if you say you don't care if it makes it harder for men then don't be confused if guys choose not to be with you because you don't care if they feel lied to. The fact is guys are seeing something that may not be the real you. If anyone disagrees I'm willing to have a mature conversation with them about it.

This is a great question and interesting image. Damn that's good!!
i don't think deceit is intended. I mean even brushing your hair after waking up is sprucing yourself up a bit. Rehydrating and applying a little refinement here and there is fine I guess.
Completely covering up spots, etc or blemishes would be a little pointless though yes.
Eh. I've learned that when it comes to women and makeup its best to say do what makes you feel good. I know a lot of women that look horrible without a lot of makeup but usually those same women are the ones that on the inside feel like crap. And I know personally that when I feel happy and positive and good about life my face looks great but when I've been down for a while it shows. I personally would advocate healthy living over pretty dirt for myself any day but above that I'd always advocate for a person to do what makes them feel better.

If i passed the girl in the pic - i'd look twice at her in the one where she has make - up on. The one without make- up... i would glance then look away - not giving her a second look.
Make- up... evens out skin tone, hides blemishes, defines the eyes and cheek bones and lips. So most women don't look as pretty without make- up - especially if you are used to seeing them wear make- up on a daily basis.
Make-up enhances natural beauty , but also improves a persons appearance when they aren't very pretty

Well, yes it technically is. When you wear makeup, you don't ACTUALLY look like that (it wasn't how you were born). Anyone who disagrees with me is just plain wrong. However, it also depends on the amount of makeup you wear. The woman in this picture is wearing a lot.. but in reality.. most women only wear makeup to enhance natural features which is okay.
I don't think it's deceitful I feel that it can be used to enhance beauty, but might also be used to create beauty. As a guy I feel jealous that girls can easily make themselves look better, but it's life. I don't think make up is bad though, girls can do what they want.
certainly it is deceiptful. doesn't mean I hate it. But women cannot complain if they hide the way they look and someone has a negative reaction when they see her in real mode. personally I rather women wear just the minimum they need to do whatever it is they want to accomplish with makeup. less is better. p. s. that woman is butt ugly on the left but 'holy shit' hot on the right.
She's a beautiful woman regardless. Does makeup highlight certain features? Yes. Does it change the overall structure of someone's face? No. You'd have to be pretty dense not to recognize that someone who wears a normal amount of makeup with a bare face (I'm sorry, but that woman must work in entertainment because that's a pile of makeup that most people don't use).
