Do Guys Prefer Girls With Makeup?

Truth.Thoughts?

I don't prefer makeup

 

Vanity isn't sexy

 

There's a beauty is reality and confidence

Based on the screen cap alone, the first picture makes her look honest.  The second one makes her look like she's got a bad attitude and I'd be too irritated to deal with her.

Personally, I'd like it if a girl was at least decent looking, but otherwise, I don't care if the girl wears makeup or not. I care more about if the girl has academic smarts and common sense, and if she's going to be tolerable in the long run. 

 

I do not have the time to be dealing with a girl who has attitude problems because she looks pretty. Some of them are generally like that.

Vanity is sexy as funk. A girl who knows she is beautiful, and shows it off is more than confident. It is elegant and outstanding.

I am digging that make-up.

Honestly I get that feeling from both.

 

I like whatever the person feels more comfortable with. A genuine smile will trump any aesthetic.

makeup alone does little for me. make up will only get you so far, so i don't often factor it in. looks are definitely important, but makeup doesn't really improve or harm my opinion of people.

 

except for the heavy users, inch-thick makeup is a massive strike imo..

[Snatch Steal]

What if you don't like girls?

 

I don't find makeup to be an important factor in determining one's self-worth. Perhaps some women wear makeup because they feel like they need to make up for their plebeian looks. Maybe a very small number of them do it for fun.

 

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure makeup isn't easy. There's all kinds of sheet that you have to blend and when girls talk about it it makes my head spin.

That's fair.

oh dear god its onision

[Rapidfire]

I don't think it necessarily matters what other people think when it comes to make up. People wear it to feel confident and sexy, and that's completely fine.  For example when I put on make up my first thought is NOT "Will guys like this??" it's "Damn my brows." Weather she or he is contouring or just putting on a little foundation it doesn't matter because no one asked for outside opinion. It's an art in itself and if that's what makes that person feel confident then they should be able to do it. I've gotten everything from "you wear too much make up" to "you should wear more." Personally I think that confidence in your own skin weather it's full of make up or make up free is sexy. And on a side note if you can't handle someone who knows how to put on perfect eye liner and bomb contorting you just gotta sit down and watch some make up videos, this sheet is hard.

Girls wear make up, guys walk around with their dick hanging out, different scenario, same question

I wish I understood this comparison 

 

OH Also side note in the video the guy said "false advertising" and all I gotta say to that is 

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

I could explain it for you if you want

[Just Crouton]

Depends on how much.

[Miror B]

I could explain it for you if you want

Please do, because I don't understand the comparison of letting your genitals out in the open vs using products to alter how you look.

I'm not sure I want him to explain... could be nasty.  XD

This so much. I know a lot of guys who say they don't care about make-up, or they prefer when girls go natural (which is stupid anyways i put a lot of damn work into my makeup you best damn well appreciate it), but most of the time it's exactly the opposite (not trying to throw shade at any of you guys in here who said that cause I'm sure you're all nice guys I'm just speaking on my own personal experience). I've gotten criticized and called names for wearing "too much" make-up and not wearing an make-up at all. Plus there's the issue of being a trans women and wearing make-up, but that's a different argument for a different time.

 

Also I'm really tired of hearing the false advertising thing. It's dumb. Like the girl said in her tweet, we're not products. We're human beings. Plus anyone's going to look hella different with make-up on. Anybody with half a brain can put on at least some make-up to make themselves look "better". 

 

Or for instance my favorite thing to show people is this

This is a boy. He looks like a girl because of the make-up he's wearing. Well that and his manipulating lighting to make himself look more slender and feminine, but w/e. Anyways my point is is that even a little make-up applied in the right way completely changes the way you look. 

So like the idea that girls are lying by wearing a lot make-up is just stupid. Girls wear makeup to feel confident in themselves and their appearance, not to "trick" boys. Expecting someone to look the exact same without makeup is quite simply ludicrous. So yeah, just my two cents on the subject 

[vla1ne]

It may be insane to expect them to look the same, but it's vastly more insane to espect somebody to think that picture was anything near acceptable. by false advertising, i take it that they meant it was showing people a face that was nowhere near the true appearance, a little makeup as a touch up, or heavier applications for special events is one thing,  [spoiler=this is literally lying about your entire appearance]  

 

It is a very noticeable difference between one and the other, through gratuitous use of makeup. on a special occasion, that's one thing, but the appearance shift is so striking that it can feasibly be called misrepresentation.

 

also, the issue with the person you listed is that they have a penis, when their appearance suggests ta complete opposite. nothing against them personally, but the penis, unless known about beforehand betrays all expectations in the exact same way as makeup. your example is a large deception of the equipment, the picture i quoted is a large deception of appearance.

Ok but the people you're "deceiving" are literally strangers. I know that my friends have seen what I look like in the mornings, and when I've got a full face of make up, yet they don't care. Here's the predicament, by saying that it's deceiving to wear make up you're saying that people are entitled to see women/trans/anyone who wears make up in a happy middle that can never really be achieved bc everyone has different opinions of what is "too much" and "too little." You're logic is flawed and frankly a lil offensive. I'm not trying to hate on anyone, I just don't think people should have to change the way they look or who they are bc strangers think that the Diva lipstick by Mac is my actual lip color and are then offended that it's not. The way you dress, tattoos, piercings, make up, etc are all a part of your identity. My daily eyeliner is a part of me, just as that girls contour is a part of her mourning routine. Maybe it's time to stop holding women and anyone who uses feminine products up to unrealistic standards. And please if you're gonna judge people who wear make up, don't spread that hate. Or do, but in the end it honestly doesn't have any impact because it's their body not yours.

I've never understood the whole "Make-up is false advertising! Don't try and trick me women!" argument.

Yeah cause every woman is spending an hour prepping solely to deceive you specifically, random overweight funk wearing a sweat-stained Metallica t-shirt.  

 

Some people like to feel good about themselves, wearing nice clothes, having good hygiene and applying make-up well are all things that bolster ones self-esteem. 

 

Not every woman applies make-up solely to lure unsuspecting men into their vagina.

I wanna get into your vagina. But I'll do that by being a funking boss and not some sad chode, "nice guy" variant.

[Agro]

the whole argument seems passé

 

revolving around the idea that what guys think girls should look like is all that matters

 

and not around how girls want to look for themselves

[Guest BGMCANN0N]

I wanna get into your vagina. But I'll do that by being a f***ing boss and not some sad chode, "nice guy" variant.

What about the well-endowed and proud "nice guy" variant?

I'm not saying women are going out to deceive people, I fully understand that they're simply putting their best foot forward when applying makeup. what i am saying is that applying makeup to a degree where you are miles apart from your actual appearance (not light enhancing, extreme makeover) is something that if a woman does happen to be doing so to attract men, could feasibly count as deceiving them. if it's just to look nice, dress up and such, that's whatever, if it's to get a guy, that's another thing entirely. my logic is directed towards a drastic, noticeable change in appearance due to the heavy application of makeup (and probably other means as well). it stands under scrutiny because it is an opinion based upon standard definitions of beauty. it's not 100%, but it is close enough that there is not enough against it to tear down. if it's offensive to you then it's because you are easily offended. i am not stating this as if it's universal fact, i'm stating this as i see it, if you took it as statement of absolute fact, then i ask that you no longer do. As i see it, makeup is fine if applied as a "look good feel good" thing. wanting to look nice is nothing to begrudge. on the other hand, if it is for the purpose of getting a man, heavy application of makeup is just asking for trouble down the line as far as appearance goes. might not end bad, but it's not a good start. 

 

natural is not easy to pull off, and using makeup is understandable, and respectable, but gratuitous makeup, is simply painting a false picture. people (or at least men) don't get offended by large amounts of makeup, they get turned off. to a decent portion of men, heavy makeup use is somewhat of a turnoff. feel free to do so, i'm not saying you can't. just understand that it doesn't often speak to men the way minimal amounts of makeup applied properly can. your identity is you, and neither i nor the person in that twitter post was telling people otherwise, just understand that people aren't going to praise you just because you're confident or whatever else in your identity, if it's unattractive, overdone, too much, or too far from standard, then they'll tell you so. and sure, have confidence in your appearance/identity, but don't expect people to be nice for it. nobody's holding you up to an unrealistic standard, except maybe you. look at the amount of makeup in the image. she set that standard, she could have stopped at any point in between the before and after, but she went all the way. that wasn't me holding her to that standard, that was her trying to make it to some level of beauty she thought she had to reach. also, i'm not spreading hate, if i was spreading hate i'd have said her cheeks look like they bench press babies. i was pointing out the unrealistic standards she had for herself, and attempting to remind people that the only person holding them to such high standards is themselves. it's fine to want to look nice, but she's in no way built for the standards she appears to have tried to reach, it was a decent attempt, but the effort put into the end result was far too high (assuming it's temporary), people don't have to, and shouldn't need to try that hard to reach a 10.
