Okay, We Need to Stop Telling Women They Wear Too Much Makeup (Page 2)

[worldscolide]

I'm sorry. If she is wearing too much I will speak up, not because of any insecurity, it's because it grosses me out. Thankfully my wife wears very little. Contrary to what some people believe men are entitled to their opinion as well. I personally can't stand when a person pits it on so thick that it looks like a mask waiting to come off.

Thank you! I can put on as much mascara I want and rock the boldest matte lip in the world, and it doesn't change a thing about who I am on the inside :) and it shouldn't change anyone's perception of my confidence either.

I can look like Krusty the Clown, and that's ok as long as I'm happy with how I look and am rocking my style.

Great MyTake

Some girls do take it to another level tbh, but as you say it's a personal choice. It's your body, your face. You can do whatever you want, I can have my opinion about it, that I won't necessarily share with you 'cause I know it would be pointless. So yes it's stupid to tell a girl she wears too much make up, but sometimes it's a matter of fact.

[MindYourEyes]

Great take!. Yeah sure massive makeup can look like shit on some people or awesome but it's their choice. I mean I'm not the one who's gonna be wearing their face so why should I or anyone complain? Maybe she feels damn sexy in it? Maybe she feels like she can conquer the world outside!. Cool good for them!. I wear my mascara n eyeliner all for me and no one else!. Cause" I"think it's pretty X).

[Transigence]

Personally, I suspect that makeup is female intrasexual competition. It has nothing to do with men, but more to do with what females think will fool men into thinking they are fertile and young, and they compete with each other in this arena.

I say let 'em wear it, and don't say shit. If they ever ask you anything about how you think they look, tell the God's honest absolute truth.

[Cosytoasty]

It's not really how much in 90% of cases, it's how well it's put on to hide the fact it's there. I've seen a pro makeup artist at work before and they could paint a Da Vinci on there, but you'd never know.

Whether we can tell girls to learn how to do it properly is up for debate lol.

[John_Doesnt]

Then stop asking guys "How do I look?". If you don't want our opinion on if you're wearing too much make-up then stay out of the "How do I look?" section.
This site is all about girls asking for guys opinions, but you're telling us to stop telling you our opinion. Wtf?

[Deconstruction]

I am way too honest to hold back something like this.

If an otherwise beautiful girl looks like an ugly fetish model because she decided to drench her face and destroy her skin with makeup, that's obviously her choice. But there's also no inherent reason why I should not comment on it.

[xXVoicesXx]

By that same logic, there is no inherent reason why you should comment on it. What good is it going to do by telling her something that she already knew?

[Deconstruction]

@xXVoicesXx For the same reason it is useful to listen to criticism otherwise. Humans are really terrible at judging their own actions and taste. I do no get offended if somebody tells me my beard is too long or I should cut my hair or this or that haircut would look good on me... Because I respect people's opinions and if they want to share them I have nothing against it.

[tyrantfuryre]

I mean do what you want as long as you're not hurting anyone else.
But real quick..."makeup" .. look at the word.. you're making up for lack of something.
Don't get me wrong, too much is a turn off in a sense. I don't want to go out with one woman, come home to another. Feel me?

[jwhit]

There is such thing as too much makeup, just like there's too much cologne/perfume, and too much hair gel. It's all a matter of preference and a lot of men prefer little to no makeup on their women, that's just the way it is. There are men who are unbothered by it. But it's just like a women saying a guy doesn't have enough body hair just because he chooses to shave and him getting upset.

QuQ You deserve all the happy tears.

I like wearing makeup because I like adding a little something to my look. Sometimes its glitter lipstick and mascara, sometimes its black eyeliner and silver highlighter. I like how I look, with and without makeup.

[Anonymous]

you dont have to apologize to anyone if you want to wear a tonne of make up but you can not ask from the world not to comment on it. Like every decisions we make, you can not demand from the world to accept it , or like it or not comment on it

[xXVoicesXx]

Yeah, but at a certain point, it kinda becomes just being an asshole, ya know? Like, it's not going to help them; if they really like it, chances are they're going to continue on with it; if they're just starting off, you're potentially crushing their desire to continue with their hobby.

But at the same time, we're all entitled to our only opinions, so whatcha gonna do?

[Anonymous]

I have been wearing makeup since I was 12. I love it! Have a blemish you want to hide you can cover it, want darker/longer lashes use mascara.. Makeup is a great way to switch up your look without plastic surgery.

[Ginnyweasley97]

Thanks you! I hate when people comment about a girl wearing too much makeup especially when those same people say she looks ugly without it.

[xXVoicesXx]

WOOO! This is the one that kills me! I've been keeping a close eye on this with my male friends. Now, if I present to them a female made up, and they happen to find her attractive, either they won't make a comment until I mention it (yeah, but she'll look better without makeup) or they'll complain about how it's completely unnecessary. Yet, if I show them the same woman later, without makeup, often they will say "she's alright".

Makeup, done well, only enhances one's appearance. (Of course, there is still artistic makeup) People fail to realize how often it'll make someone look just plain great. Sometimes they won't even realize someone is wearing makeup and would believe that it all comes naturally. I have to convince them that EVERYBODY on TV is wearing makeup, from the male news anchor to the cooking show lady. The only exceptions I can think of are a select few on reality shows and people being interviewed on the local news.

Nice mytake but if a girl/woman wears in my opion too much makeup then I think i should be able to say so

[TheAngryBanana]

its women that tell women to wear this much make up in societym the do it throught the media, beauty magizines and fashion scenes.
If you dont want to wear make up dont let them influance you and dont put it on use your free will :P

[DianeDuffus]

Honestly and I am not going to get into an argument, young girls don't need makeup old women do

[luvstoned4him]

I agree 100 . We need to do what ever makes us happy.

[Riggers]

Sounds more like an inability to accept criticism tbh..
