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.

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

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!

GirlsLie · Accepted Answer

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.

Alohaloli · Accepted Answer

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.

kxera · Accepted Answer

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.

Mistnigqa808 · Answer

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 #done i1127.photobucket.com/.../ezgif.com-add-text.gif

JustinCaseUDontKnow · Answer

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.

Nope123 · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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!!!

justbanANNAz · Answer

it just never ends... @xhoneyxbeex 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.

heavensgift2girls · Answer

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.

GoodGirlsFinishLast · Answer

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.

Kountry_King · Answer

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

missy223 · Answer

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.

awilliam360 · Answer

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

Anonymous · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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

Anonymous · Answer

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.

baconandcheese · Answer

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.

godfatherfan · Answer

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.

9mfeo · Answer

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).

kittykatbrat · Answer

I model part time + HAVE TO wear make-up then + DO have my web images photo shopped. to varying different degrees on the day.

Make up DOES create an illusion.+ IS deceitful.
How much deceit though varies according to "individual perception".

GreatnessPersonified · Answer

"She is beautiful either way"

No, she ain't. Left pic is scary.

Anyway, It's not deceitful, it's necessary!!

Women have to sell their out appearance to get men.
Once she has him, and he's in love with her, he won't care two shits if she's not wearing make-up, wears wigs/weaves, doesn't shave down there sometimes, etc.

As long as she has a tight, sweet smelling pussy, he's good to go. LOL. :D :P

Anonymous · Answer

If I see someone wearing makeup, I fully expect them to look different without it.
That's the point of makeup, after all.
How much makeup they put on, especially on a daily basis, is completely up to them. And it's not like they can change how they look without it, so I say if you can't love both sides of them, then you're too shallow to deserve them in the first place.

FriedChickeneisha · Answer

Deceitful? Yea, because women have naturally smokey eyes, contoured cheekbones and mauve lipstick, right?
If you can't tell a woman is wearing that much makeup, then you are probably extremely stupid.
And if you can't tell she is wearing makeup, then it obviously isn't enough to make a huge difference when she takes it off.
No one is being deceived.
You know damn well no women has blue eyelids and cherry red lips naturally.

MaskedSanity · Answer

The above comparison is exactly the reason why I don't go heavy on the makeup.

Wouldn't it make the woman herself depressed that under all that war paint she's just a plain jane or under?

Hiding the odd pimple here and there or covering up dark circles under your eyes because you didn't sleep well is one thing.

But this? Her face has been recontoured, covered to the brim and entirely fake.

She's deceiving herself more than anyone.

BellePepper · Answer

Honestly if a guy thinks a girl just naturally ~*sparkles*~ instead of realizing she uses glitter eyeshadow, it is his own fault. Who looks at humans and thinks that the they have huge eyelashes and bright red lips just by the gift of god? It's silliness or willful ignorance.

RJGraveyTrain · Answer

Honestly, it's their choice. People who wear makeup could very well be doing if for their own confidence, so why get hung up on if it's "deceitful"? If someone gets to know you, they will inevitably see you without makeup, and if that's enough for them to run off, their problem. People can use makeup in whatever amount of access or lack of as they please, it isn't up to us to police it or judge it, it has nothing to do with us.

coldpieceofpizza · Answer

It's not just makeup that makes a difference in these kinds of photos. She is photographed from a better angle and in better lighting. It's the same as those before-after weight loss pictures, they haven't lost that many weight, they just changed their posture, lighting and facial expression.

emerald77 · Answer

I'm torn on this one. I personally don;t wear make up every day because I find it too bothersome to. But I also understand why some people do. Lots of people lack self esteem and make up helps them feel better, so I can't really condemn anyone for doing so. Either way though, it's pretty obvious when someone is wearing make up, so I don't think it's deceitful because it's not like they have the make up on but are pretending that it's their natural face, you know?

bombamboum · Answer

I wear make up almost everyday like most women. It doesn't mean I use tons to it, I just feel good, feminine and pretty this way. My boyfriend likes me when I'm natural and I definitely don't feel bad when I have no make up on. He often finds me cute that way.
But he also like when I use makeup, he feels like I'm doing an effort for him and he definitely loves that.

Justinlovewithlove · Answer

Definitely deceitful. Just come on lol, look at the difference between with and without makeup. It's fucking huge. It's so unfair how we men go out totally natural and some women don't seem to be able to show their real faces. I also think that makeup somehow damages the woman's face and natural beauty in long-term. Makeup is the reason why men nowadays look better and healthier than women. Sad truth.

suki248 · Answer

Any time in the past few years I start thinking about wearing makeup, I remember that if one day I can't or don't wear it, everyone is going to notice. So I end up going makeup free.

Sometimes I think “If a guy likes me, how will he feel when he sees me without it?” or “It means something if he falls for the real me.” Then I remember I don't want to attract any guys, but that's a different matter...

SilenRose · Answer

It's only deceitful when the difference is night and day. As for the guys who always say they want a girl who doesn't wear makeup I roll my eyes. The girls they're attracted to are 75% of the time wearing makeup but a natural hue. Also if you were at a party which girl in the picture would you approach?

Xelebrum · Answer

It's only deceitful if they wear makeup and claim that that's their natural beauty.

Unless they stop doing photo editing/Photoshop to porn and magazines, even tv and movies, and this is what guys see, this is what i am compared to when i just want normal human cravings for sex and love, yes i will wear makeup to get it, i do not think its right completely but more necessary, simply it just is the way it is.

LovesTVDx · Answer

What the heck... she's still pretty without makeup, don't get all this backlash. People have way too high standards to be calling her ugly because she certainly isn't.

mangaka92 · Answer

Funny, I was just thinking of that exact same thing just a few minutes ago. I'd absolutely say that it's deceitful. Generally, if she's got a lot of makeup on, I likely wouldn't even consider her. To me, it's dishonest. I don't ever lie about who I am or what I'm like to any woman to make myself look or seem better to them than I really am and I look for a woman who's willing to do the same for me.

LightsOff · Answer

If people think that glittery eye shadow, lipstick and super long/thick eyelashes are natural, well... then it's their own problem if they feel deceived and shocked once the makeup comes off 😂

JuicyBrain · Answer

I think in this particular case, it's deceitful yes. I forgive her though. It's easy to understand why she does it. I honestly rarely seen such a big difference between with and without makeup. She goes from very average to a 10 and as much as I hate to say it, yes, it looks deceitful to me.

DrBLan · Answer

I was going to post no until I saw the picture. Yeah some girls take it a bit too far at times. A little touch up, sure whatever makes you happy, but full on redo everyday is kind of taking it too far.

Of course it is. For example: Today show host... she is 60... but with makeup she looks like she is in her late 30s... without makeup, her age shows. Without makeup a lot of women wouldn't be attractive

I'd hate to date somebody like that and see them without makeup and realize they aren't good looking anymore.

The difference in that picture is drastic. She's pretty good looking on the right and below average on the left. I can see why a woman wouldn't ever want to be seen without makeup once she gets into a relationship if it's that big of a difference.

I will not say that is CHEATING, but its bit disgusting now looking at those 2 pictures they are very different, of course make up is not bad but it should have a limit, imagine you meet someone online then you saw them in real life you will be shocked.

Not all that glitters is gold. If a girl is average without makeup, I'm fine with her, because she'll look above average with makeup. Average face and above average character for the win.

Makeup is a great form of art. It can enhance someone's beauty. I think women who wear too much makeup not to tone it down but its fun wearing makeup. I only wear mascara and cover up for the dark circles under my eyes. If men feel cheated by their woman's real face then they need a reality check. Women are beautiful with and without makeup.

Most girls who wear makeup regularly will openly admit that they're wearing makeup, so I wouldn't call it deceitful at all. If they feel more comfortable leaving the house with makeup on then there's nothing wrong with that.
