Are guys lying when they say they prefer no makeup on girls?

Scroll to see replies

Did I say that in any way whatsoever?

No, I was wondering if you'd have a problem if a girl told you you'd look better if you started lifting or something. :wink:

I don't think so. Some girls genuinely do look better without makeup. At the end of the day, makeup is only supposed to accentuate your good features, not change your whole face completely. So if you're highlighting the wrong parts of your face, obviously you'll look better without makeup?

What if it's well done makeup v none though?

This is subjective ofc, just curious :cookie:

I prefer someone to just be natural and do without it, but I wouldn't argue if she felt better wearing makeup. It just puts me off when people go over the top with it and it sticks out like a sore thumb =\ they probably look worse like that than they do without.

If you had to choose between a girl with literally no makeup on and one with very well done natural would you really choose the no makeup girl? For example here is the same girl with no makeup:

natural makeup:

and the sort of makeup most guys say they hate:

Do you really find the 1st pic better looking than the 2nd? Which do you prefer?

Post if you like the 3rd most too?

No, they just don't know how subtle makeup can be. When guys think of girls without makeup, what they're actually thinking of is 'natural' makeup.

When I see the make up vs non-make up photos like that, even if the make up looks better (which it can), it's not what the girl actually looks like and I wouldn't really want to be in a relationship with someone who's wearing a disguise. If you don't look as good as you want, pretending to look different is not a healthy way to feel better about yourself, work on self acceptance.

No, of course not; however, obviously it's ultimately my own choice whether I decide to go ahead with it or not, in the same way that it's a girl's own choice with regard to when/how often she decides to wear make-up. In all honesty, I'd probably take a girl telling me to "hit the gym more" as her trying to help me out, because she loves me and wants me to look my absolute best. I'd expect her to feel the same way about me giving helpful advice about her appearance, as well.

Yeah that was the kind of reasoning I expected a lot of the guys ITT to use :smile:

Most girls don't wear makeup 24/7 though. Is it always a turn off?

Well, not personally. So long as make up is something you add, rather than the norm, and not because of low self esteem or something.

Eye makeup is good

Nope as some girls look better without make up, having said this a little bit of natural looking make up is fine imo. From a guys POV I think it's just nice if the girl looks her best :smile:

Yeah I know. A girl could still look better natural even with well done makeup. My friend for example is beautiful naturally, and I hate it when she puts makeup on. At the end of the day women don't have to wear makeup to be beautiful. Were all the women in the days before makeup ugly? Doubt it :smile:

Girls look better without makeup. Makeup is unnatural, a woman's face is at its most beautiful in its natural state. All makeup does is ruin her natural beauty,

The woman in the pictures looks best in the first picture, without any makeup.

For 95%+ of women well done 'natural' make-up looks better IMO- it just really enhances most peoples features like eyes, lips and can clear up skin tone etc.

i wouldn't mind either 1 or 2 to be honest, if your first meeting a girl then 2 would make the initial attraction more likely as the natural makeup does help with minor flaws etc but if its someone you know and/or already like then your more likely to prefer their actual face as thats what you like, when you like someone they get more and more beautiful as time goes on until they could literally look as rough as they ever will and you'd still find them attractive :smile:
