Natural is better - Why I don't like MAKEUP

[Anonymous]

Why "I" don't apply makeup!

Women rely more and more on artificial beauty.

Why i don't care so much about my own looks ?

The first sentence that comes to my brain is

"Why? What is the need? "

In Hindi - Kyu? Kya jaroorat hai?

I just want to look Good, nothing more.

I don't need makeup for looking good. As long as I am shaved, I don't look bad.

Women look like nice paintings in all the makeup they apply. They look (attractive*). But they don't look attractive.

Here, (attractive*) means being like a nice painting, not really attractive though.

It acts like a BARRIER

Makeup hinders expression of their natural beauty.

I am curious about their natural face. I want to explore their natural facial looks. It's just natural curiosity about the opposite gender. Each woman has a different face with varying characteristics.

Women keep applying makeup and I can't see their natural face. So I don't like makeup.

But still makeup makes them look like a nice painting. Yes, a painting. Nicely colored, with definite boundaries. It looks like a nice painting.

So I can't say that makeup looks bad . Because it's like a nice painting, even better than we could ever imagine !

Degree of perfection

Increase in is directly decrease

Degree of proportional in

Perfection to attraction

The irregular surface of your cheeks ain't visible. I can't imagine a girl with perfectly smooth and dry face. I don't feel attracted.

The imperfections

Imperfections reinforce that you're a human, not a colored painting with definite boundaries .

The roughness, wetness, pimples, scars, etc all visible. It's nice.

I wouldn't have powder on my fingers if I run my fingers on her cheeks.Instead of that I would be able to feel the roughness and wetness of the skin.

Acne?

Acne and scars are not normally unattractive. It's opposite. Acne is attractive. Somehow I feel that the woman has a mature face, which is attractive . Pimples are only unattractive when they're really big and swollen .

Scars?

I don't usually think about it when I see them on someone. It's because everyone has scars. I accept it. I'd never thought anything about them but I sometimes find it attractive.

Yes, many will find it difficult to believe this but it is just my honest opinion.

The Unfulfilled expectation

I expected to see their real natural face because I am curious and I want to explore!. Since, I haven't seen what we expected to see it, I can't say that I liked their makeup covered face.

So, on one hand, I liked it, because it looks like a good painting.

On the other hand though, I haven't seen what I expected to see, so I didn't like it. Our expectations remain unfulfilled.

That's why I don't like Makeup. Because, Ididn't see what we expected to see. I don't care about the painting. I couldn't see what I expected to see because of makeup. .

For the feminists who want accuse me of objectifying women by calling them "paintings". come at me. But before I want to tell you that I used the word because I knew no other way of explaining what I think. Say whatever you want to say. I said what I think.I am pretty sure you want to give me some lecture about it and I am ready for it. I will be reading it.

Most men who say they prefer no makeup really don't mean it, even if they think they do. What they prefer is women who look natural. The problem is the trend among women today to "fakeness"... VERY heavy makeup, painted in eyebrows, fake eyelashes, heavy lipstick and makeup, fake boobs, fake fingernails... the list goes on and on and men are kind of sick of it.

But no makeup... that's really not what most people want to see. Few women are actually naturally beautiful enough to pull that off and attract a mate.

[myTake Owner]

"Most men who say they prefer no makeup really don't mean it, even if they think they do."

That's why I said that makeup makes women look attractive*) like a nice painting , but not really attractive.

[myTake Owner]

I was explaining the views of men who claimed that they prefer no makeup.

[myTake Owner]

Because I am one of them

[Felinegirl]

I strategically apply makeup to enhance my natural beauty. You can fake your beauty sleep with some concealer, look like you got 8 hours. I'm blond, my eyelashes are blond, it looks like I don't have lashes without mascara. And most people don't like acne, so I lightly cover that as well. Don't need perfect skin, just making it look slightly better/less obvious.

I asked and most guys and even girls don't know that I wear anything but mascara.

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, but I don't like to see that enhanced look.

Simplicity and imperfection is more "human"

Accepting somebody's imperfections as a part of being " human " develops respect towards him or her
Imperfections are attractive.
And that's how it attracts us by creating more respect.

The "perfect " and "fashionable ", may look "hott" and "attractive (sexually) ", but it's not humanly. Humans are imperfect. We tend to accept those imperfections.

When you can't see imperfections, it makes them non-human-like.

That's why makeup isn't attractive , even though it is anesthetically pleasing (like a nice painting , as I explained)

Lastly I would say we're not so shallow about looks that we would be attracted to those artificial non-human-like looks.

Makeup makes you look like a nice painting. It makes you look aesthetically pleasing. But it doesn't make you attractive.
That's my point.

[Felinegirl]

I look natural. It's just if I had a few rough nights, makeup can make me look like I do when well rested again. And on my period, I can make my skin look like the rest of the month

[Felinegirl]

I don't do anything about my more permanent 'flaws' - those are what make me me. But that zit on my cheek doesn't fedl like part of my identity, so I want to cover it up.

[Tonga]

you realize that most of the women in your pictures that you assume aren't wearing make up are still wearing some sort of mascara or eyeliner right?

[kaylaflwrs]

Exactly lmao

[myTake Owner]

I know. I just didn't get pictures.

[Tonga]

Thanks for the mho

[Gothd011]

Nothing to read here. I mean this is something people hear ALL the time and the world still go on... so it a lost argument like everything else in life that requires opinions... only lol.

I rarely wear makeup. Im told im consider a natural beauty.

THE BIGGEST PLUS of dark skin is it gives a great flawless look and natural hazel eyes, cheekbones, and full lips just added. Im also a health nut and vegetarian for 7 years. Yet people got so much to say on that TOO. what is the ideal beauty right? I'm not blonde nor white and never will be but should I LISTEN to those asses or know that my beauty is just as beautiful? yeah, who opinion is right? mOre OPINIONS!!

I don't knock other girls for wearing it. It a right. No different if you prefer ties or blue jeans. Who cares. You still are you. And life sucks enough and too damn short to sit around judging what people decide to do with their faces in the morning. SO many opinions and yet sooo little care my dude... Looks is something society changes throughout the centuries. Women use to literally pick their eyebrows off and hairline to have a bigger forehead. It meant more statues. All and all It, not a mark. It is, not satan. it Just makeup that washes off at night. As women get older they find better looks. As they do grow more comfortable with themselves for themselves... not a man.

So come at me and tell me where Im flawed at... base on your OPINION... that you "painted from YOUR thoughts.

[smg99]

It’s fun to wear make up not over doing it but experimenting with combinations.

If one is considering it’s risk , combine the following for safe yet glowing results.

Your non comedogenic foundation + Neutrogena helio complex spf 110 face shield.
I use YSL TOP SECRETS BB CREME. I think I am sold on it permanently.

I’ve read some insta models swear by celery juice as a regular habit.
Running does miracles to clarity.
As do smoothie mornings.

Spa and calming music whilst getting ready

[RumNSunshine]

I personally wear makeup to enhance my beauty, I don't care about what a guy thinks about how I look. I want to look good for myself.

Makeup is considered art as well, it's not always about trying to hide/cover up.

[CherryRoseChampange]

You took the words right out my mouth girl

[kat101]

I hate make up with a passion. My mother always forced it on my growing up always caused problems for my skin. Saying I look prettier with it on. After I turned 18 and quit it. My skin is now healthier and better than ever. Lipstick was an acception, but I don't wear it much anymore. People would ask me if I'm wearing it I tell them no and they say like wow. It's refreshing living without it. Natural look is wonderful.

[kat101]

"me"

[Grobmate]

Forgot to mention the instant photoshop apps... I hate those things too. My opinion is it's deceitful. Tge saying all men are liars loses all relevant when one can stand in awe at the bullshit parade of artificial beauty.

Well said OP

[smg99]

It’s again for the woman herself and yes to a great degree to attract guys.

However with everyone donning on makeup to an art, the game of pursual gave guys many options, and they got cocky about x no. Of girls they slept and conquered with their friends.

It has now become about attraction and creating sexual tension even if it’s within that woman’s mind.
So it’s the reason so many turn to modifying their pics except me I can’t be bothered with that. Never did.

So fear rules this game of deception you think is bull shit because women parade around artificially.

I don’t think you know the rules of its application or art.
I agree with you in one situation, too much of inner eye shadow and rim lining , heavy fake lashes , nails, and tan. Also too much highlighting of cheeks and bony prominences of the face.

[CT_CD]

I agree. I want to see her natural face. Not her face enhanced with makeup that makes her look like a 7/10 when in reality she's a 5/10

[gothgirl997]

If you have to rate people as if they're objects and you're assigning them a barcode, that says a lot about your personality. Go away

[CubsterShura]

The hell man. If I'm at a wedding, or hanging out with my buddies and have some obvious makeup on (especially on weddings lol since ur Desi u know it better), and some dude looks at my face thinking what's under that makeup...

IT'S CREEPY AS HELL

[myTake Owner]

Why is it creepy?

[myTake Owner]

And we don't think what's under the makeup. It's just natural curiosity about the opposite gender. We just wish we could see their natural face out of our curiosity. but we don't think or imagine about it.

I don't know what's creepy about it.

[CubsterShura]

That's creepy as hell. Who are you and why the fuck would you have thoughts like 'i wonder what she looks like naturally' it's as creepy as thinking how some girl looks naked or something. It's creepy as hell.

[Syrian_survivor]

No why is it creepy? It's not perverted since the face isn't really a sexual thing 🤷

I'd be curious about what a girl would look like with no makeup, how much it would change her look but how much it would make her seem confident about herself, how is it creepy exactly?

[CubsterShura]

@Syrian_survivor it's creepy cause ur literally wondering what a random girl's bare face looks like.

[myTake Owner]

Girl, you're overreacting. It's not creepy.

I have already explained.

We are NOT dreaming about , wondering , imagining or fantasizing about a particular woman's face.

When we look at a woman, we only praise their facial beauty , but we don't think anything about it.

But if you will ask us , then we will say that it we prefer to look at her natural face.

I will add some more.

Men can be attracted to strangers. Women can't.

This is probably because unlike women, men can separate their emotional and sexual feelings

When i look at a woman i feel the desire to look at her. I wouldn't say that it's a sexual desire. But there is a desire. I want to look at her more and more, for a longer time.

But I don't. I don't look at her for long. It's a habit since childhood I quickly look away. I try to concentrate on other people or other things around me.

[myTake Owner]

Some guys develop a bad habit of shamelessly looking at women for long time. They keep staring at women. It's a bad habit, generally because they don't control themselves and act according to their desires from their childhood.

Just like a women have to keep checking whether they are wearing proper clothes or not. Men have to keep controlling their eyes.

The men who do not control their eyes are immodest.

Unlike women , Men's modesty doesn't primarily depend on their clothes.. It depends on their eyes.

When a man looks at a woman, he doesn't imagine or fantasize about the woman. He is only praising the looks of her body.

Most women think we are imagining about their nude body when we look at them. It's not true. We only praise their body shape colour and other things.

[myTake Owner]

thoughtcatalog.com/.../

A man staring at a woman is definitely a pervert.

Having desires is one thing and acting upon it is another thing.

Everyone has perverse thoughts. But finally, it's our decision (to follow them or not to follow them) that matters.

The curiousity is natural. And you will have to accept it as a part of man's nature.

It's like you are trying to emasculate us by overusing words like creeps and perverts for small small things like these

Aren't there female perverts?

NOTE- A female staring at man is not a pervert.

A female wearing soft tight short revealing clothes is a pervert. Even more so, if she's doing it fashionably.

It's interesting to note how definitions of modesty and perversion change according to genders.

[CubsterShura]

Oh wow look men are justifying bring creepy now

LET WOMEN FUCKING LIVE. WE DON'T EXIST TO PLEASE YOUR EYES, WE GOT BETTER THINGS TO CARE ABOUT

[CubsterShura]

It's SHAMEFUL that's even in 2019 men haven't grown a thing called civilization. It's pathetic.

[Syrian_survivor]

Girl chill, you sound like a feminist now.

What matters is good intentions, calm down, there's nothing wrong with it, we're not judging the women, neither are we fantasizing about her, we're just innocent men imagining a girl's true pure beauty, that's it.

It's not creepy, stop saying that.
You're basically saying that it's bad to look at the opposite gender, but that only applies for men looking at women?

You dont exist to please our eyes, we're not telling you to, nobody's forcing you and you can'y block someone's INNOCENT eyesight on your face.

I thino you shoupd focus on actual creepy behaviour, like catcalling or staring at women's behind/chest or just staring at them deviously for extended periods of time, leave us good guys to do our thing, focus on the real problem nd stop calling us uncivilized, it's not nice and makes you sound like a narcissist

[CubsterShura]

"you sound like a feminist now" but I am a feminist and it's never a bad thing at all.

And yes it still is creepy. Like seriously, how useless of a human being has time to stare at other girls and wonder what they look like without makeup? Don't you have other things to do in life? When I look at other dudes I don't think how they would look without their shirt on, that's a very wrong thought.

Stop justifying being creepy. Mind your own fucking business and let us do it too. Oh god.

[Syrian_survivor]

Yup, you keep proving to me that all feminists are crazy.

Bonne chance ✌️

[CubsterShura]

@Syrian_survivor any woman who points out males wrongdoings are crazy, because men think they can get away with being creepy. No matter what, creepy is creepy. Please focus on your destination or people when you step out, instead of thinking how some girl will look with a bare face. Bye.

[Syrian_survivor]

Is it creepy to imagine a girl's face without makeup? ↗

[FragileSnowflake]

@CubsterShura
Are you okay?

[CubsterShura]

@FragileSnowflake I was until these people actually started justifying their creepiness.

[myTake Owner]

I am also a feminist , so don't tell me.

I think this is where feminism starts being anti-men.

There's nothing creepy about it. It's human nature. You'll have to accept it.

Stop overreacting

[FragileSnowflake]

@CubsterShura
They're not being creepy, you're just being weird and unreasonable.
Like that guy said, stop overreacting, you sound like a close-minded man hater, nobody likes that.

You opinion is just an opinion that people can disagree with, not a general rule that everyone needs to agree on and if they don't they're terrible mindless apes who deserve only the worst.
I'm a feminist myself too and this isn't how a mature "feminist" should argue, you only sound like those feminist memes online.
You need to grow up a little bit, sorry :/

[CubsterShura]

@FragileSnowflake yes it is creepy.

Listen. If I'm out on a date with a guy and that is where he might wonder what I look like without makeup. That is a place where it is fine to think about it. But at weddings, or at any other social gathering? Really? Seriously?

[CubsterShura]

The only reason why I sound like a crazy feminist is because it makes me angry how people think looking at random women minding their own business and having creepy thoughts is okay. Like if I ever went out and realized that some guy is staring at me and thinking that kind of stuff, I would feel as terrible as if someone is staring at my chest. It's horrible, and never comfortable. You may be okay with it, many of us aren't.

[CubsterShura]

And man-hating? Sure. I hate creepy men, we do. I don't understand why other guys should want to see my bare face, when the only man who should care is my boyfriend. FYI, he has seen my face at its worst state and we still love one another. Other men can suck a bear's dick.

[FragileSnowflake]

@CubsterShura
It's harmless, why make a big deal out of it? You're not being harassed sexually, emotionally, or mentally, just mind your own business.
If you're just talking about staring in general, then I agree with you, staring is super creepy if it's done for long periods of time, but that's pretty much it, has nothing to do with a guy's curiousity to know your true natural beauty, he's not imagining you naked with dirty thoughts or something, faces aren't sexy, they're just pretty, like yours lol

[FragileSnowflake]

Oh, so all men are shit now because you assume they're all being creepy?

[CubsterShura]

@FragileSnowflake many more things are harmless. I mean, even a man staring at a woman's chest is harmless, catcalling is harmless you can just ignore.

It's not about it being harmless.

It's about right and wrong. And just how I think it is wrong to stare at some woman's chest, it is also wrong to just keep looking at her face wondering what she looks like without makeup. He doesn't know who I am and he has no business with me, so it makes no sense that he would just sit and think of my bare face. It would make sense if we were out on a date instead. That's where it is fine.

"a guy's curiousity to know your true natural beauty" I understand general curiosity on girls in general, THAT is okay. But why staring at ME and giving ME looks among hundreds of women other women out there? That's uncomfortable as heck. That is what I have been saying the whole time and y'all accusing me of finding curiosity on itself creepy. Oh Lord, before calling me names see if YOU understood what I said.

[CubsterShura]

And not to mention, that radiates big stalker energy.

[FragileSnowflake]

I don't know girl I guess we just have different opinions about that, I don't find it creepy at all but you do you.

And hey, don't shove your opinion in people's throats, even if it's a popular opinion and even if you're 100% convinced by it, just discuss and trade ideas (with the right people of course)
Calling names and "yelling" at otherd during an argument only ruins it, you insulted so many men with what you said, and I can't respect your argument anymore, sorry haha, maybe I would if you presented it in a more civilized, friendly, and welcoming way.

Please don't grow up to be one of those crazy man-haters, you're Muslim right? Hate is forbidden in Islam, please.

[CubsterShura]

@FragileSnowflake if you don't find stalker vibes creepy that's your problem not mine. But shoving opinions on people's throats? How about people live and let live and stop giving stares to other women? I'm Muslim and my religion teaches people to lower their gaze before the opposite gender. And no I don't even expect respect from these foolish men who have no respect for women in their hearts, if they did they wouldn't be okay with staring at women. Tell me a reason to welcome foolishness. Have you listened to the crap the myTake owner said about men's desires and all? You didn't find it dehumanizing at all? Do people forget that women are just more than their appearance?

Makeup isn't just for prettifying, people forget that it's a form of expression depending on the occasion too.

[CubsterShura]

Bottom line: not all women like being stared at and don't give stares to women. If you wanna ask me if I myself avoid giving stares at men, yes I do for many years.

[CubsterShura]

Also stop associating my anger with feminism lol. Anger is a thing we all have and yes I can't help but get angry at foolish men. But people need to stop associating it with feminism. I hope that educates y'all.

[FragileSnowflake]

Not everyone is Muslim to lower their gaze
But you are Muslim to stop hating people, and not to insult them randomly and SPREAD HATE, Islam orders you to respect other religions and not attack them.
So staring at women in their perspective isn't disrespectful, you have to respect them back, if it bothers you too much then go up to the guy staring at your FACE and tell him it bothers you.
If he's staring at ALL of you for a long time (your body, face, and everything), then tell your dad or brother to teach him a lesson or something, don't go instead and hate on all men because they are "foolish" just because you assume so.
Letting your anger out in an argument only proves that you're an immature person who's not ready for mature arguments, I'm not saying that's you, but that's what it makes you sound like.
Weigh your talk before you say it and don't let emotions like anger interfere in a civilized discussion, it just makes all your points and arguments invalid, even if they're true and right 100%

You just confirm to me that Muslims are all the same, just mindless hypocrites, only like 1% of you are actually good people who actually follow their religion 😒

[CubsterShura]

@FragileSnowflake oh firstly it's my feminism and now it's my religion. Okay. I guess I can't be seen as an individual anymore.

And all of it because you guys still want women to be uncomfortable. Shame.

[myTake Owner]

@CubsterShura

I told you earlier

*We are NOT thinking, dreaming about , wondering , imagining or fantasizing about a particular woman's face.*

*When we look at a woman, we only praise their facial beauty , but we don't ""think"" anything about it.*

*But if you will ask me , then i will say that it i prefer to look at her natural face.*

You misunderstood everything.

*"a guy's curiousity to know your true natural beauty" I understand general curiosity on girls in general, THAT is okay.*

You agree with my main point.

I explained the above thing (that you said) in different manner. Bad English.

Making issues out of nothing. You were overreacting.

[myTake Owner]

I am also a feminist.

Keep some faith in others.

Don't try to prove

"I am good and you are bad"

Just like you, we can also understand what's right and what's wrong.

[Myob123]

Mate, the women featured in your post are wearing makeup 🤷‍♀️

[John_Doesnt]

I think you mean natural looking makeup, because those chicks are still wearing a ton of makeup in those photos.

[Blueeyes81]

You must not get play of words. But its also a little ironic that you use the anonymous feature like makeup.

[apple24]

ew... PUT ON SOME MAKE-UP WOMEN~

[smg99]

I bet you haven’t seen Hollywood actresses without makeup omg they are ugly as hell. These women above are still amazing and have retained their youthful looks despite the Natural portrayal.

Makeup is for ourselves then again and so is the choice.

[ROCKS128]

Agree...
