Do men really prefer no makeup?

Question

Or just only like light natural looking makeup

jmzero · Accepted Answer

I can only answer for myself but for me all of these answers apply because I believe situation matters.

At home, simple self care is nice. Brush out your hair, makeup is totally up to you.

In general public I prefer simple make up. Just the basics.

Going out I like the whole shebang.

At its core, I love to see my lady out shine those around her or see men desire her only to see her sit with me. I love to see the confidence in her eys. On the other side I see the importance in how one presents themselves but I don't believe a lady should be in full gear while drinking a glass of wine or beer in the comfort of her own home.

Make up is probably uncomfortable for you women to wear... It's messy when we are together... It hides traits that probably only matter to you... But it's well known that women wear make up "to other women" not for the guy... Soooooo yeah... We still prefer you girls with no make up... But feel free to compete between yourselves, just remember that we already don't like it... So don't justify 3h to get ready to leave with "I'm getting pretty for you" cuz all of you are already pretty.
Sorry for the little rant at the end.

I don't worry about guys likes... I like wearing lipstick eyeshadow mascara some make up some blush eye liner all within reason of course... a girl wants to look her best... to ask a girl to wear a tee shirt some skimpy shorts and no make up won't leave her feeling like a girl that's for sure... so I don't know why so much about no make up... girls wear make up maybe not all but they do wear make up.

you know, guys here and in real life always say they prefer girls without makeup. But in reality I feel like they gravitate towards the girls that do wear makeup. Don't you see on instagram how all the guys obsess over the girls that have the winged eyeliner, contour, and highlight? I don't know it's weird. the guys answering one way, but doing the other in real life lol

loveslongnails · Answer

Women tell me that "natural looking make-up" is a gimmick and it's still make-up, it just looks less obvious. Here's the thing for me - if I kiss my girl on the cheek, I don't want to come away with a mouthful of petroleum or powder base. LOL If I kiss her on the lips, I don't mind a little good tasting gloss, but her natural lips will taste best ! The worst thing about too much make up is seeing a girl for the first time looking great in it, and then seeing her without it looking like a totally different girl - one you wouldn't have looked at before !!

JimmyQ · Answer

To me, make up is just the gateway drug to piercings and tattoos. But if you like make up then wear it.

A lot of woman just take it too far. I dated a girl once who I believe purposely tried to make herself look like a Ragged Ann Doll. I'm not really sure why she did this, but people used to make fun of her behind her back and she was really quiet weird once I got to know her. Exceptionally intelligent, nice enough personality, but very kinky.

I'm not saying all woman that go deep into live character are strange, but I've refined my taste quiet a bit since then and make up just seems to me to be fake up.

Less is definitely more, and chicks who think those nails are cool, outta do a retake.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

Natural/ neutral tones. And minimum or none. Works best in my mind. For the day by day life.

Then again once in a while if she wants to put on something extra now and then for a date night or special event. That would be fine. So long as she does not over do it.

MannySimms · Answer

One Halloween I dressed as a woman. Looked great from the back, my beard gave me away though. They tried different makeup schemes on my face, if I looked at least decent, I would have ditched the beard. I looked like a nightmare!

Doody22 · Answer

I would say either A or B, most men don't care as long as you don't look like the Joker. Most men just don't understand why women spend a ridiculous amount of money on makeup and look pretty much the same. Women will spend time picking out foundation and what not to match their skin colour but do you know what matches your skin colour? your skin. If you want to use a little concealer for spots or if it makes you feel more confident knock yourself out but it can be taken to far

Trolloween · Answer

Most men prefer makeup if it's well done and it looks like they aren't wearing makeup at all, that's what studies show. Ideally a girl would look like that without needing any makeup, which is basically just having nice skin. I would rather see someone's real face whether or not it is objectively less perfect looking because it makes them subjectively more perfect to me.

BitterSweetApplePie · Answer

Every guy I've met has loved the fact that I don't wear makeup, so for me I just think guys like the natural look better, assuming they're grown and appreciate a more natural beauty.

MrOracle · Answer

Most guys like a natural-looking girl, and if you are wearing natural looking makeup, most guys are fine with that.

What most guys don't like is heavy or outlandish looking makeup. If it looks like stage makeup or if you look like a 50 year old trailer trash woman who thinks she's still 22, you are doing it wrong.

mrArcher · Answer

We don't care.
Really, we don't.
I personally like both. Really, I love it when you're wearing it, because it looks awesome, I love it when not because it's you.
Some men like one better than the other.
Almost no man likes one better enough than the other in order for it to be a dealbreaker.
Men who complain about either have unresolved issues and you should just give them a chance to vent and let them see for themselves that it's not that big of a deal.

tslater · Answer

Women don't really need makeup, I don't have a super strong opinion on it but I've observed that women that choose to go without makeup really keep their looks longer and women that even only wear a little makeup all the time can't look normal without it.
In the end, while it could make you look/feel attractive in the short term, the long term effects just make you look odd.
Makeup can make you look great but, as I do in everything, I prefer the real you.

sassy1433 · Answer

A little make up is nice. But caked on is too much.  I imagine if a girl can lay on a white pillow and leave a facial print, then that’s way too much makeup.

Anonymous · Answer

I had this one guy tell me he likes a little bit of makeup on a girl, that he likes a natural look. And I asked him what he meant by a natural look and he said, “Oh, like Kim Kardashian”

Which overall proves the point that men have no idea what natural really looks like 🤦‍♀️

Jjpayne · Answer

I like makeup personally. It is such a life hack that I'm personally jealous of. You instantly get to make your face stand out better... Why not? But the natural look is fine too

Browneye57 · Answer

Guys don't know anything about makeup, they just know pretty when they see it.
So don't even bother asking. Always look your best. Get some help if you need it.
For love can't start 'till attraction does, and then there needs to be a conversation.
So brush up on those social skills as well.

Liam_Hayden · Answer

I like as little as possible, but sometimes a little is almost necessary. One of my lifelong friends has light blue eyes and she is a blonde whose hair, including her eyebrows, is almost white. A little eye shadow, blush, and light lipstick is almost necessary for her.

BeingSingleBlows · Answer

No make up for my preference. It can be deceiving and rather know what she looks like in her natural beauty. No matter what, a guy is going to see you without makeup eventually. What if he doesn't like what he sees without makeup and is like... Put makeup on. You need it badly... i'd rather not have the desire to take a trip to a pool on the first date if there is a lot. But chances are I won't notice unless its really obvious.

JacobRoto · Answer

End makeup culture! It doesn't really make women look beautiful or even pretty. It's unfortunate that most women think they need makeup, but none do.

Silver158 · Answer

depends on the girl, I met a nice girl who didn't wear makeup, had really nice skin, then she made a friend who got her into the whole heavy makeup contouring thing which ruined her skin and now when you see her without makeupo her skin is all blotchy and greasy etc.

20yearsolder · Answer

Depends on the situation but most of the times I would have to say yes that I prefer it

Massageman · Answer

Somewhere in between, depending on the event/need/occasion. Unless if you are doing "slut night" with each other - - - - - ;- )

Artesian · Answer

Often times, yes. The more make-up, the faker and sluttier she looks. Some done well and not obvious is nice..

Insightfull · Answer

I don't like lots of makeup. It look fake. light natural makeup is good. Less than the woman in the picture of this question.

Ideally it looks like she isn't wearing any (whether or not she actually isn't).

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Yes; it's true. If we can't tell whether the person we're looking at is a human or a mannequin, that is somewhat off-putting.

gagsucs · Answer

depends if she needs it or not, but dont think u jus need it cos ur ugly... thats not true... even beautiful girls can look better with a little lipstick and eyeshadow

quizz · Answer

I prefer none to minimal makeup. I'm of the opinion if it takes more than 5 minutes your working too hard, but some actually enjoy dolling up, in which case you do you.

Jackelray · Answer

I honestly prefer no make up. I like to see a girls face even the imperfections. but if she is going to wear make up I like the natural look

Haelaeix123 · Answer

I prefer natural looking makeup. Using it for a little bit of enhancement here or there is fine but looking like you just fell face first into a makeup case isn't very attractive to me

LukeACollett · Answer

Honestly it's completely dependent on the girl. Some will suit heavy makeup better, some pull off none at all flawlessly.

theCobbler · Answer

Men prefer the “no makeup” makeup look. Dont be fooled.

I keep seeing "do men... Are men... Why do men..." Isn't it clear that every man is different? Your question should be, "do you prefer makeup?"

None/some. Loads isn't attractive to me, but it will be to some others.

It's actually a light makeup for me, a bit of blush and eyeliner makes wonders, but if it's between no makeup and heavy makeup, I 100% prefer no makeup

Some females don't need makeup, they have natural beauty. Others need a little make up. Depends on the woman I guess

dogbert111 · Answer

No makeup is best, but some subtle eyeshadow is ok.

TwoToTooTutu2 · Answer

Don't listen to men saying no makeup these are people who use 2 in 1 shampoo, and don't know the difference between a manicure, and a pedicure.

OddBeMe · Answer

I do prefer no makeup, but of course going out girls are expected wear it so I don’t go apeshit. Of course the first rule of makeup is to look like you’re not wearing any right?

updog45 · Answer

I like some makeup. Whoever says none has been conditioned by the feminists to say so. Some is obviously better to accentuate the eyes, cheeks etc.

Ianto · Answer

I would not have realised it, but my ex-wife and my current girlfriend use no make-up in everyday life, so i obviously prefer that.
