Let me simplify this and end this controversy once and for all:
I have 2 friends (real story here), who put make up.
One of them just slightly a bit of lipstick and maybe do her eyes a bit as well, maybe a bit powder to make her cheeks slightly pinker.
The other one? She's white skinned and almost goes latina when she puts make up on her face. Much darker and much more. You can clearly see the change of color under her jaw-line. You touch her face and your hand automatically goes dark, there's no skin, just makeup.
I am sure you can tell what we like (or just don't mind), and what we don't.

Because it's obviously not the way a girl looks naturally.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to look good though and I do think that everyone can look better with makeup on, if it's done right, like I've seen a video, a while ago, where a girl even used it to lower her hairline, so it obviously can make a difference and even guys can benefit from it's magic.
Still though, most girls seem to wear it and if done right, it will make them look better, which is why they'll get more attention, as they will probably look better than girls who don't, in general anyway.
It depends on how much the women wears. For example, a man can think the women looks really good with makeup, because if you can do it right you'll look good, and still not like makeup in general. My dad doesn't like make up because too much hides what a women really looks like, he wants to see you not a painted face.
That's such a bullshit! They claim they don't like make-up or too much make-up, but just look at IG: all those women with lots of followers have TONS of make-up on their faces, and they also use apps correct their flaws. It's so freaking fake, I don't understand how can someone be attracted to that?

Most decent men will compliment a woman whether they wear it or not. Speaking for myself here but, I like real. I don't care about makeup and prefer none in the same way I despise beauty filters on photos. Both create a false reality. If I fall in love with someone, I do so worts and all, not because of who they want me to see they are.
I think the whole make up argument has been twisted a bit somehow it has been insinuated with that if you are wearing makeup, you are trying to deceive. Somewhere along the line it has become polarised to NO MAKEUP Natural beauty MAKEUP Fake.
To your points complimenting a girl wearing makeup feels easier, it is just complimenting an individual girl not taking a stand on the issue of the day MAKEUP. To go off track but to give an example we live in a world where it is I'm a Liberal and will never agree with anything Donald Trump says or I'm a Conservative and will never agree with anything a top Democrat will say, it seems almost drummed in.
With regards to make up, my personal preference is the look of light, natural or no make up, how much make up you used to achieve that doesn't matter to me that said I do sometimes like heavier make up especially artistic effects.Because some women wear so much make up so often that they’re basically unrecognizable without it. But most men have no understanding of makeup whatsoever and some of actually believe that a woman wearing a full face of makeup actually looks like that all the time. Once they see her without makeup they feel scammed or tricked. Basically make up is a beautiful lie, and they get upset when they see the truth.
My answer is that I appreciate the effort women put into their appearances, but I feel it is sometimes due to a poor self image. Not all the time of course and most of the time I feel once i get close to a woman and she doesn't wear her makeup, she's still gorgeous so it isn't necessary.
I like the way it looks
However I don't like who it distorts natural perceptions of beauty
I also dont like how the industry makes billions from hard working ladies
I think their money can be better spent on health, massages, spa days, and relaxation activities. All which will do a lot more for looks 😊Overall when this is studied the women with light makeup were considered most attractive. Makeup by design makes you more attractive, that's the point. But men are attracted more to natural beauty so the trick is to wear makeup but look like you're not. It's pretty stupid but if you look like you're wearing makeup when you're not, you're the most attractive you can be.
I can't speak for all men, but in my opinion when they say they don't like makeup, they're talking about excessive makeup which makes your face looks very different from the original. No one likes to be deceived and the wanna see the same woman after she washes her face. They're fine and appreciative of makeup that only highlight your original features and makes it seem like you did make effort.
Because they are really bad at recognizing when does a girl wear it.
They much much prefer girls with make up than without.
Same with plastic surgery. They claim to prefer natural over fake, but that's another lie. Breasts implants wouldn't be so popular - and they are one of the most popular (if not the most) plastic surgeries for a reason. Guys love fake. They just don't realize it's fake because make-up and plastic surgery can look impossible to recognizeMen claim that they'd be into women without make up while not realizing that the women they mean also wear makeup, just not as much xD
I have been told "wow, you look great and natural" while wearing make up and "is something wrong, a, haven't you sleep well/are you sick?" when being without make up. So yeah. xDI can only speak for myself here, but I like how girls look naturaly. If, however, on the right occasions, they wear makeup as an exception, and if they know how to do it right, it is like an accessoire or a nice dress. It's, like, I don't wear a suit all day, and if I would walk around in a suit everytime I leave the house, people would criticize that. But on the right occasion, I get complimented for it.
Makeup hides imperfections, and it is like false advertisement. But on special occasions, it is acceptable to look perfect, better.What they actually mean is “make-up is okay as long as we can’t tell you’re wearing any”. Most of them like the natural look, which is minimal make-up.
Yeahh I agree, men dont know what they like. One minute they all say they want natural face then they see a girl with makeup and all agree she's hot😐
We like makeup depending on how it's done, but we'd rather see barely any makeup or none at all. The thing is most women wear it, so if they're doing it regardless of how we feel what are we going to do? Not compliment a girl we find attractive just because she's wearing makeup?
Sounds to me they are saying what the woman wants to hear, and not what he means. For me, I love natural beauty, I think God made women beautiful just the say they are. However, sometimes when a woman wears makeup it does not define their beauty, but it does enhance it. I hope this helps. :)
Just because I don't personally like makeup doesn't mean I can't compliment someone on their look. Also, how they like to look has absolutely nothing to do with my personal preferences. They're not there to please me, they're enjoying themselves and wearing their own style. That's cool, and I appreciate personal expression. Why not compliment them?
Men like natural looking make up, that looks like no make up. They don't like contoured and dramatic faces. It is usually a sign of insecurity, drama or demanding.
Because we don't really like girls who wear excessive makeup on their face where it almost looks as if they're a clown. Some of us are okay with makeup but it just depends how much she puts it. Some makeup in face is okay, but the best in my opinion is their natural face. Thats a big turn on
Yeah they're full of shit sometimes.
When I don't wear makeup, I don't get approached much.
But when I do, they flock like birds.
They prefer to go approach women with make up on.
But I guess if they start to like you, then it doesn't matter anymore lolGonna need you to quantify that statement. Hell I'll throw the equivalent right back at you.
"Why do women claim they like nice guys?" Define 'nice' would be your first response right? The chick in the picture? Looks like a frickin mannequin. I've never found that obnoxious red lipstick attractive. Sitting close to a woman and seeing the grains of make-up on her skin has always given me the heebies, like her skin is going to start moving like a floor covered in rats.I think some men think that light makeup is actually no makeup. I think most of the time, they really just don't like heavy makeup.
