This are for all the women and ladies out there but feedbacks from men are also very welcome. I have observed that most women really like to put on makeups and lipsticks. Is being natrual not enough? Sometimes i appreciate women more if they stay natural and and don't put too much make up but i think each person has his/her own opinion on that. Maybe some guys also like women to put always makeup because they might feel that they are with someone whose much presentable. I know for some working professionals especially for frontliners they are really required to put on lots of make up, but i think they can also do nothing about it whether they like it or not because it is company policy. What do you think about this? Which ones do you prefer? Women who just stay natural or those who always put on makeups. Thanks for sharing guys.

Personally I don't like women who use a lot of make up (many over do it) and also use a lot of perfume (terrible how it takes your breath and makes you nearly choke, same with men and their ... aftershaves, they seldom smell nice). But there are people who are able to use make up in a really naturally way. Also if you have scarfs or so it's nice if you can cover it up a bit. Nothing wrong with that, esp. not if it makes you feel good. I think many men do like it. If you don't use make up like me (I have way too much allergies) they tell you to do so.

When I was still very young, I didn't always wear makeup. People treated me fine. If I did wear makeup, it was about the same except if I was going to an evening event and wanted to meet men, but I was dressing seductively and wearing my makeup even heavier then. Now that I am middle-aged, if I don't wear makeup people don't smile at me as much and hardly ever have conversations with me. When I have made an effort to make myself look better, though, they do.

Yes we all are like lipstick some women like more make up some are less like I not like more make up only face powder, cream and lipstick. We feel we are looking good after applying lipstick and make up. But I observe old women still looks beautiful because then not wear make up and their nature beauty was good.

cyclopz ...The irony of this is many women use make up to try to achieve a natural look as if they are not wearing any make-up. In addition, many buy cream and foundation that contains a sun protection. Make-up is also used to 'hide' skin imperfections and redness. I use a natural looking lipstick to protect my lips. All that take time and effort

Yes, this takes more time and efforts that any other type of make-up.

I only wear lipstick when I feel like it, there is no policy that I have ever heard of to have to wear it anywhere, unless you're a model, tv star, etc. thank goodness. It does make me feel more attractive than when I'm not wearing it but these days at my age you don't really need to impress anyone anymore like we wanted to when younger, so I don't wear it as much anymore.

it really depends you know.. Some people looks better with make up on, some looks good without it. I for myself prefers nothing but concealer and foundation. I dont put lipstick but lipbalm only. I feel that i look better without too much color on me hahaha..

I tried to learn on how to wear make up once and got surprised on how many items should I put on my face. Then I decided lipstick, face powder and foundation are enough. I don't intend to look like a clown (okay, that's exaggerating~) nor did I intend to look to pale either.

Wearing make-up is not a problem as long as we don't hurt other people. It is not a problem for me if I saw other women to wear make up. What's matter most is that they are confident enough in wearing their make up and they make sure that they are wearing make up appropriately.

I asked my male friend about what he thought about women in makeup. He said “all women look better with a bit of barn paint on them.” I only wear makeup when I go out, and very light at that. I just use a powdered foundation that goes on with a makeup brush, some blush, a little eye shadow for contrast, mascara and eyebrow pencil. My complexion looks flawless with just a little makeup.

I don't see any problem with women wearing makeup. If you are woman, you might understand how we feel. Make up is like a tool we use to help us get the confidence we need to make us feel secure and happy with ourselves.

It's not so bad putting on make-up, depends on the occasion I suppose. But putting on really heavy make up is something else. It doesn't show the real face of some women. Personally, I don't like putting on heavy make up - I don't know how to even put a light make up. I usually just use a concealer under my eyes, a blush on, powder and a light lipstick and that's it. If I feel really lazy, I would just put on a concealer and a blush on. But I still do want to learn how to apply make up as this is useful when there are important events.

I prefer women who put the right amount of make up, depending on the time and location. If it's daytime women should wear light makeup. at night it's okay to put darker make up. When going to parties, that's the right time I guess to put heavy make up but when you're just going to walmart to buy groceries, very little makeup should suffice. Makeup should make you look more presentable. It shouldn't be overdone because too much of it can make your skin look old. It can also damage skin if you use it too often. I read this article about this girl from Korea who wore make up night and day without erasing it for 2 years. When she went to a dermatologist for consultation, her skin was like aging faster than it should.

I think a lot of times, ladies who look natural, are often wearing natural makeup. People just aren't able to tell they are wearing makeup because it looks so natural. Not all make up is very apparent or dramatic.

Hi, Putting on make-up is just natural for some girls even if you are not a working professional.Some girls want to look good and presentable even if they would just go to the mall,a friends house or just a simple lunch date with friends.I myself is putting on make up just to look fresh and neat.I dab powder on my face and lip gloss to have a glow on my face even if I'm not going to the office or anything.In putting on make up you have to consider the place, the event you are attending to so that it wont be problem in your part on what make-up you will apply on your face.We have to know that so that we will not be the laughing stock in a party or in an event.

A young girl with a perfect skin doesn't need to put make-up every day. The natural look gives her more beauty than all the products she can find. When you are at my age and older it is time to make some corrections . "Stay natural" doesn't give the same good result. But, of course, the high spirit gives us the best look.

When I am going out to a dinner or a photo shoot, first impressions are huge! Just like a job interview, you only get one shot at being there in the moment the first time.

I personally do not like makeup. I will wear it when I'm going somewhere, but not much at all. It comes off quickly and smears. You constantly have to make sure it is on and it's also extra money that could be used elsewhere.

You can't take that away nor anyone else. It's part of their life and it makes them happy except for those ladies who just want to look simple but presentable. A woman will always be a woman no matter what.:)

I agree. I prefer when women don't wear makeup. Unless you are working (I guess it's a professional thing), women shouldn't really wear makeup everyday. I don't see what they try to accomplish. The figure of the woman has changed over time and this is just the result. A natural look is a more honest look.
