The first 'makeup' photo only seems normal in our culture because we're continuously bombarded with photo-shopped images of models wearing makeup. This is not at all surprising considering that the cosmetics industry has not-so-hidden agenda that they want to make money selling products, and they do this by convincing young, impressionable women that they are ugly when they don't use their products – creating a need that never used to exist.
To put today’s obsession with makeup into context, life on this planet was doing just fine before the cosmetics industry was created. Consider also that our species is consuming the planet to oblivion, and consider what we could do to live more sustainably. Ditching things that are superficial, resource-intensive and adding gigatons of plastic and chemical waste to our ecosystem like makeup is an obvious choice.
Regarding your question about which is more attractive, I think our cultural obsession with makeup has blinded a lot of people to what makes a person attractive. Looks are superficial. It’s our personality, values, standards, and brains that matter more to a lot of people.
When a girl chooses to go au natural and not wear makeup to a party or other social situation, THAT makes her attractive to me, because it tells me something about her values, that she’s possibly more conscious of her ecological footprint, and that she’s strong-minded enough to resist the marketing hype and peer pressure.
Why do we take pictures? I was thinking about this last night, as I was watching couple girls take a photo of themselves, dressed up, for dance night, once a week at a bar I go to. I suppose models do it to make people want to buy their products but, men aren't going to buy things women are modeling, right? Since it's not FOR men, unless they cross dress,
But, other than modeling, why do we take pictures. I guess what I'm asking is, what's the point in taking a snapshot of our lives?
I was watching the new season of stranger things and it made me think of it too, cause of this one scene in it
I feel like you shouldn't have used Kylie Jenner because of the plastic surgery.
But, as for the question, I think it depends on what you like more at the time. Softer and more natural looks or bold and glamorized looks.
I've noticed when i post non makeup selfies guys lose their sh*t.
I get attention all the time, ao when they see im equally attractive without it their even more attracted

u If I saw the picture with makeup, I would say, "She looks attractive but that is quite a bit of make up. I wonder what she looks like without all of that."
If I saw the bottom picture, I would say, "Damn! She's cute!"
I like both pictures, but the second pic definitely feels more genuine, and maybe adds an element of "trust factor" - she's willing to let you see her without her "mask" of makeup. Some of us really like that, especially in a world where so much is fake.
Top one is just boring attractive. Like yeah, it's good but obviously the makeup is there and it just looks utterly generic and conventional, loads of women look like this is makeup and it's boring. It's plastic attractive. Like how a mannequin has all the right shapes but is still obviously not real or attractive in a real sense at all.
The bottom pic is cute AF.
That's a winner.
Would snog.
This is what guys are looking for when they say "no makeup."
Worth noting that not all women can do this, some benefit from makeup or than others. But that's another reason why guys insist on no makeup; the ugly girl is concealed by makeup and no it's not the final product that's important, how you look without makeup is your *true* attractiveness.
Always the "nude" (non-makeup) pic for me, eventhough I barely notice makeup usually. But the difference here is quite extreme.
I meen she's probably wearing makeup if I see her in person, so a non-makeup picture are probably best, and an in-bed picture is really nice and intimate.
If you want to make a cute and "aesthetic" pic than on a bed with no-makeup is a way softer and cute concept.
If you're going for something more stylish or sexy than makeup and outfit on point.
I do believe we are more interested and what you look like going into bed rather than what you look like waking up during the week. So, if you want to attract more ons and more casual relationships, makeup and outfit. want to sort out the guys that might stick around for longer? no makeup in bed.

See we guys we like it natural and og, makeup pics are great but without makeup, it shows that you’re confident with your natural looks and godd!! that’s too attractively awesome and freckles are cute they boosts your looks instantly
Anyways do whatever makes you comfortable you know world doesn’t matter they’ll praise you today and tomorrow they’re gone so do you
If you post pics of yourself in bed, you're not aiming for cute. You won't get the guys looking for cute first. You'll attract the horndogs because you're visually saying that you want a sexual relationship.
Second one by far (though it could be me being bias as I love freckles), I think the second looks more natural, shows off the freckles (women should not be ashamed of them), and feels more "real" for lack of a better term.
If you like how you look without makeup on, go for it. I know many girls which look terrible when they wear makeup (like in the images above) but some benefit from it. Nothing wong with it, that's life.
The single biggest turn on I've seen in sexts or selfies are those when she is masturbating. Very hot.
One with a LITTLE makeup is probably the best. I definitely would rather see a girl with no makeup, than to see her with too much makeup.
You could cheat and do both (LoL) - This is just personal taste and both photos are very beautiful but I think the non make up selfie looks amazing
Well, I know I prefer the second picture. Also, the potential meaning behind a girl showing herself to you without makeup is more interesting.
Most guys don't care for selfies, especially not the kind that are blatantly just desperately looking for attention.
Really depends on the girl. In this case, the second pic is a lot better.
If it was a guy, both would be cute. Makeup and cute outfits are obviously adorable on guys, but pyjamas are too.

In the second one you look like you're getting over a cold, and the first looks fantastic
Depends on the girl. But I love a girl who does BOTH. It's nice to see a girl all done up. But is also great to see a girl natural. It feels private. Thats very sensual.
There isn't a selfie that is remotely attractive - all they ever show is a try-hard who is not good looking in person so keeps doctoring her online presence.
