Do guys prefer seeing their girlfriend with or without makeup?

Question

DishLady · Accepted Answer

Being around a lot of guys and just seeing what makes them turn or pause to look at a girl…

1. They down usually notice a girl’s FACE first. So that’s something to consider.

2. Yes they’ll stop to look at a girl with heavy makeup… because it looks carnivalesque and distracting. Try to keep down the makeup, ladies. You look better to everyone without all the spackle and caulk on your face. Just use enough to make yourself look and feel confident. Avoid the deep reds and all the junk. Avoid the caterpillar lashes and all the glues…. They’re bad for your skin and age you anyway.

3. TBH times any guy has stopped me dead in the street to tell me I look pretty has been when I was either bare-faced (no makeup) and a little sun kissed or very light mascara and a natural color lipgloss.

4. Any SO in my past has always tried to steal an extra kiss before I put either lipgloss or sunscreen on. Guys aren’t fans of biting or kissing gloss… but, as one ex told me, they’ll endure it if that’s their only choice.

I don’t think a lot of men know how to tell the difference between a woman not wearing make up and a natural make up look lol

Men like women to be pretty, but they think glam make up is tacky or ugly bc it doesn’t look genuine, never mind the fact that it can be really fun to wear purple eyeshadow and blue lipstick together. Ultimately, if a man dates a woman who wears no make-up at all, then he loves her for a lot more than her looks, so good for them. But I’ve honestly never seen a woman in a romantic relationship that doesn’t wear make up.

Both. Depends on what we’re doing. To me, part of the experience of loving a woman is loving the whole woman for all her uniqueness and the full totality of her. This means I love her in fuzzy pajamas, and jeans & a t-shirt. It means a tight dress and bundled up in winter clothes trying to stay warm. In it’s time and place perfectly applied make up and none at all over breakfast. I think when you really love a woman you love all of it. Some of my favorite pictures of my wife are both professionally applied make up and they are tied with other pictures of her with none all.

Most men just DON'T understand makeup, so when they say "no makeup", what they really mean is "makeup done tastefully and well".

And NO, the men are not lying - we're just often clueless about what makeup tastefully done involves.

So we think of makeup like the late televangelist Tammy Faye Messner, that is, silly and cartoonish:

Apple1996 · Answer

Most guys will probably say without but then drool over girls on insta with full glam makeup on 😆 so I don't know what they really like tbh

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I don't wear make up and I don't date women but I think too much make up is ugly on a woman. There are a lot of celebrities I never watch or listen to just because I'm disgusted with how much make up they wear.

Rei13 · Answer

My boyfriend finds me more attractive without makeup but in all fairness depending on how someone wears their makeup their partner would have a hard time telling anyways.

Jessica405 · Answer

I never wear any makeup. Luckily, my guy thinks I don't need any.

Daniela1982 · Answer

You tell me. Without and with makeup. Which looks better?

imtiaz45 · Answer

Preferences regarding makeup vary widely among individuals and cannot be generalized based on gender. Some may appreciate the natural look of their partner without makeup, valuing authenticity and simplicity. Others might find enjoyment in the artistry and confidence that makeup can bring, appreciating the effort and creativity involved. Ultimately, what matters most is mutual respect and acceptance within the relationship. Partners should feel comfortable expressing themselves as they choose, whether wearing makeup or not. Communication and understanding each other's preferences and insecurities can foster a supportive and loving environment where both partners feel valued and accepted, regardless of appearance.

AmyHew1tt · Answer

I've been thinking about this lately because I don't wear any make-up. Partly because I have sensitive skin, but mostly because I have a hard time believing any compliments I get. I wish I believed most guys preferred natural, but I wouldn't say that's what's demonstrated day-to-day. The only ones who say natural usually have this idea that you need to look like you have make-up on without it. Like having perfectly smooth and clear skin, minuscule pores, etc.

Caroline91 · Answer

I never wear foundation. it feels so terrible on my skin. I just take good care of my skin. If I'm dressed up, I wear a very lightly applied eyeliner that you'd have to look really closely to know I have on. I like to keep my lips in soft, smooth condition so I almost always use lightly tinted, flavored lip gloss... Vanilla is my husband's favorite flavorI

D_Bonez_nutt · Answer

I think guys prefer makeup on women that NEED makeup.

A pizza face can cover up all the flaws. Eyeliner is a bit different, it even looks cool on males. But some women literally turn into a clown... even with clown eyebrows. Basically it gets turned into a less noticeable way to put a brown paper bag over their real face.

hahahmm · Answer

No makeup. Minimal makeup is okay too. Tip for guys... if you ever decide you want long term/forever with a woman, do yourself a favor and pick a woman who looks great with zero makeup cause she will age way better than the ones who need a bucket of paint just to let you see her with the lights on.

Krealot · Answer

Without. Always without.

However I will explain on that.

When we have our sociallife, as in going to work seeing friends so on so on, I don't care if she has makeup on, I get it.

If we are just going to be at home, done for the day, take it off please. I love the way the real you look, let me see it when we are at home.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

He liked me without makeup and would say some times how he loves that he can go to sleep and wake up to the same pretty face he sees throughout the day.

I love how makeup can enhance your looks. I think guys like it when it does just that, instead of changing what you look like completely.

Asb_Samson · Answer

I have at least ability to explore natural beauty so I prefer without makeup. I don't like the makeup done of face with masks, bases etc. yes lightest just to enhance the natural beauty is acceptable. Further the simple hair style, lipstick 💄 with light color and other basics required for body cleanness always prefer and acceptable.

Zer0kay · Answer

I do t like makeup I can smell it. The look... glam make up as fun is fine make up worn to give you a different appearance like thinner face is dishonest. It's no different the. A guy stuffing a sock in his underwear or a girl padding her bra. If you want to attract a permanent mate then e yourself with them. If your playing around and flirting... well that's another reason I don't like my wife wearing makeup. I'm not I to it she isn't doing it for me. She doesn't need it for self confidence or to correct something cosmetically so who is she wearing it for... and that is what she wore it for the last time 10 years ago so if she wore it now that's what I'd assume was happening again.

tzdc21 · Answer

Without. Makeup is a form of deception, and I don't think a lot of people are really understanding that. It's become so common that people don't recognize it as a form of deception... which is actually sad if you think about it lol. But anyways we always prefer the natural face.

Unit1 · Answer

I love girls. With or without make up.  Lets be real here. Make up does make girls look better. Or else girls wouldn't use it.

Babygirl_S · Answer

They definitely like lots of makeup but they'll lie that they don't. This woman always wears tons of makeup and even wore a lot of it to her FATHER'S FUNERAL (do you think I can't see all the mascara and thick eyeliner?) and all the lesbians and men worship her like crazy Aishwara Rai

Dinklex3 · Answer

Depends I guess. No one has ever told me to put on makeup before, I’m sure many don’t care.

NathanDavis · Answer

Mr_twoface · Answer

I prefer without! However, if they don't feel comfortable showing themselves in public without it, then go for it, as long as it doesn't transform you from one person to another.

snowboarder720 · Answer

Without. Maybe with a little eye makeup and that’s all; I don’t like makeup at all.

SixFootSexy · Answer

I think the girl I'm seeing looks a little better with smoky eyeliner and some lip gloss, but I like the makeup to be very light otherwise. She looks really good without it too.

Sirius1 · Answer

She always looked nice with both, but I preferred her without makeup and still do. If she feels she needs it to feel better in the day and be able to focus I don’t mind it much either. She’s just lovely without it and being natural.

camerum · Answer

A confident woman is sexy. A confident woman without makeup is sexier. Nothing again makeup, but my opinion is that it only enhances, not covers up. Both in physical appearance and mindset

DextroShade · Answer

My wife doesn't wear makeup and I don't want her to. She just uses moisturizer and serums to preserve and enhance what she already has instead of covering it up.

No make up or very light, subtle makeup. Not the caked on, the entire face covered.
