I wouldn't say lying. I just don't understand why a girl who is as pretty as you are wastes her money to buy beauty products she doesn't even need. It comes across as insecure to me. I've heard women say things like: "I could never leave the house without make-up." I don't think they even realize how insane (and tragic) that sounds. I mean, if it has come to this point, no woman can tell me that make-up is something she's simply having fun with. It has become an obsession... a drug almost. Like someone who might need to sniff some cocaine before they can leave the house in order to feel confident and energetic.
Don't get me wrong... women can do whatever they want. I'm not here to tell anyone how to live their life. I just wish women were more confident about themselves and didn't give in to the social and media pressure that expects them to look a certain way. This works a bit like vegetarianism: as long as only a few people do it, they'll be stared at. However, if all women decided to stop wearing make-up on a regular basis, it would quickly become a normality and the rest of society would have to simply accept it.
By the way: I'm not saying you should never ever wear make-up. I think it can be cute to wear it for special occasions. Birthdays, weddings, graduations, you name it.
However, I don't think it should be this thing you do in your everyday-life... almost like taking medication. And I think it is absolutely fucked-up that companies in some countries expect women to wear make-up at their job. Luckily, that's something we don't have in my country.
While wearing makeup may seem innocuous enough or something "fun" even, the question must be asked "what do women gain from wearing makeup?" and the answer is simple: to attract social favor more readily and easily, by applying some facial powder and lipstick.
It is not wrong to call wearing makeup deception, because you can use it to conceal a lot of defects and many people are correct in pointing out that any rapport achieved while wearing makeup is effectively increasing ones sexual viability under false pretenses. If makeup did not so effectively increase women's attractiveness, then there wouldn't be a multi-billion dollar "beauty" industry dedicated to the practice.
The flip side of the coin is that men do not have the luxury of being able to use something like makeup as a crutch to increase their marketability in a socially-acceptable manner, they have to earn it the hard way--by making lots of money, being socially-knowledge and having an interesting/charismatic personality, working out or all of the above.
You don't look that much different without makeup. Anyone who says you're 'lying' has their own issues and is honestly just being a dick. Everyone knows that MOST women wear makeup so it shouldn't be a surprise. What depends on the amount and how it's applied. A bit of concealer to cover that nasty pimple, rosacea or dark circles from a late night? No problem. A person's skin problems do not negate facial structure. Neither does me adding blush to my pale ass skin. Now intense contouring to change your face shape and bone structure? Very different story.
If when they take it off they look like a totallllll different person, yes. But if they just wear some to highlight their features or make their skin look better and still look the same, just a bit better or whatever, nope. It's fine
I can't see your pfp but if you were lots of makeup at a point were you look completely different from you without, then yah you are but if you were to wear some mascara or eyeliner a bit for special occasions lets say then its ok
That depends on the amount of makeup you're wearing. If you're only wearing a small amount, then you're not ''lying''.

u Guys know that girls wear makeup so there is nothing deceptive about wearing it.
In your case, you really don't need make up. You are an extremely attractive young lady without makeup.
Do you, by chance, live in the North Florida area?
Some girls are just amazing with make up too. Sometimes make up is bad for them, I do like light make up on any girl even if I like natural more.
It is also extremely pointless to call you either do a make up or not. When I empathy as a guy, it is either a girl who is jealous of your looks and called you are wearing make up, not that beautiful. Or it is a guy who wanted to see more photos of your. Just ignore them I would say. If you like to make up, if you feel to, you should do it. For example, I wouldn't change the shape of my hair just because others wanted, because I wouldn't feelcomfortable.
About yourself, you are pretty.
It is *kinda* yes a deceit, the level of which varies depending on how the makeup is done. Any way you look at it, you are changing your face's appearance. It's somewhat like wearing a mask.
Don't get me wrong here, I'm totally pro makeup. I think all women should wear it, because it's just awesome.
At the same time, everyone can see that you're wearing it. It is wearing a mask, but "what you see is what you get". It bumps up a woman's attractiveness--but, the guy actively benefits from seeing that, because, hey, it looks good.
As long as you don't change your facial features with makeup--*enhance* your features, instead of *changing them--I wouldn't call it a *bad* lie.
But, a few women use makeup to basically turn their face into a completely different one. In that sense, yes, I would call it a lie.
No. It's called attraction. And love can't start 'till attraction does, and then there needs to be a conversation.
Guys don't know anything about makeup, so don't ask them. They just know pretty when they see it.
So develop your attraction and social skills. You can do this.
In some way they are, they're faking their appearance, though I consider makeup to be a downgrade and make people look less attractive than their natural looks, but that "lying" isn't malicious or purposely deceitful, it's more misrepresentation of oneself rather than "lying".
I'm not saying it is straight up lying, but it's most certainly a way to trick people. And I most certainly dislike that. For the sake of argument, I'll say it is lying, but let me rephrase it like this: I feel that wearing makeup that changes your appearance, and not just covers slight imperfections, are indeed dishonest.
Ha ha no they are not. If they were lying they would secretly hide all their makeup supplies and we would never see them. But anyone who has ever had a girlfriend or lived with them knows that girls have makeup supplies in bunches! They tend to overflow the bathroom or other locations and over time multiply in some organic way. No, makeup isn't a lie.
I'd say it depends on how much make-up. You don't look like you're wearing anything excessive, but if anyone does wear too much, I'd ssy absolutely so.
But it does kind of make sense, the idea that you're hiding your real face behind a "mask."
I think it has a negative effect on natural selection. The facial skin especially around the eyes is very sensitive to stress and nutrients or the lack thereof. Women are being lazy and apply make up on their face to mask their lack of nutrients. Of course we can detect lack of nutrients, especially vitamin E, fatty acids and protein in the strength and beauty of the hair and fingernails. Women of course mask that as well with nail polish or fake nails and hair extensions. All our manly instincts to detect healthy females are bypassed and rendered useless, it has become a very hard task finding a girl that eats right nowadays, especially with the beauty industry creating beauty images that are all but geared towards fertility. So do I think its lying? In a sense it is.
That depends on use.
If it's a light and just a little touch-up, then it's no problem. We all want to amplify what we already have.
If it's heavy to the point of overwriting your actual features to the point that your "after" face looks completely different from your "before" face, THAT is deception, false advertising, and we do not like that.
Sometimes they overdo it, or entirely change themselves with makeup but honestly you look better without the makeup. The overly smooth makeup look makes you look a bit plastic (not trying to offend, if anything consider it a compliment). You look good either way, so...
No. If my mom hadn't wore makeup then most probably my dad might not have paid attention to her and if he hadn't paid attention to her then most probably I wouldn't have existed today. I should thank Lorèal for being there at the right time. Sorry if I spelled the name of that makeup company wrong.
I think heavy make-up is an attempt to hide ones appearance which could be described as lying. Subtle makeup is fine though and I don't think counts the same. If I notice the makeup as soon as I look at you then it's too much. I shouldn't notice it right away if it weren't an issue.
Uh no they are not lying. They are just not telling the truth. Ok, ok, i was joking.
Jokes aside, yea its not lying. Nothing wrong with wearing make up. Hell, I've had make up done on me a few times before. The difference is between using suitable amounts of make up and caking on excessive makeup. Using suitable amounts of make up means i still can easily recognise you with or without make up. But if you look totally different, i call that deceptive make up and thats a no-no for me.
you kinda have to wear makeup or your at a serious disadvantage compared to women who do. I mean I'm fully aware of all the tricks, angles etc... I wouldn't fault someone for trying to make themselves appear better (within reason).
No, it's just a way to enhance your beauty I think.
I don't think it's really lying, but it is hiding your true appearance. Like if I walked around with a 10 inch cucumber strapped to my thigh all day to make a bulge in my pants, I would be falsely advertising aspects of my body to gain more attention or seem more attractive.
This is one of those Grey areas where everyone has a certain take on it. To me makeup is fine, it's not lying unless you have layered it on so thick that I can't tell your actual skin color or face shape. Anything else is fine by me.
Sometimes. The thing is you don’t know. The more you learn about what makeup can do the worse it gets. Girls trying to defend it by showing examples of how there’s women that women’s natural face can look really bad just makes it worse, that hurts more than helps.
Not as long as it's not overdone. But I prefer natural.
