Make up is must for women. Really?

As a man, I'm not sure how inciteful my experiences and thoughts can be, but here goes. In Europe,'make-up' was originally worn by men and women, but went out of fashion for men. However, during the early 1980s, the 'new romantic' movement allowed for men to start wearing make-up again. Whilst this was generally just some eye-liner and lippie, it could, on special occassions, be a full artisitic face painting. It was quite a liberating experience, but was saved for nightclubbing, not day-to-day use. I think that for women, it is only a matter of choice. If you are going out somewhere special, and really want to make an effort, then making up would possibly enhance that feeling of an impending enjoyable event. If you are just going to the shops, then I suppose it is up to the individual. Some women feel the need to wear make-up, and feel more confident with it on. If possible, I think ladies should wear as little make-up as possible, as often as they can. Bear skin will probably be healthier than clogging up the pores constantly. As a little footnote, in the UK in the 1800s, before sun tans became fashionable, women favoured pale skin, and used to wash their faces in arsenic to create a pale complexion. Fortunately, that habit has ended!

I don't like to see much makeup on women. I prefer the natural style. Beauty sometimes gets hidden with all that makeup. And since they do bad, why not drop it and use only when really necessary.

well i always put makeup when it is required ..othwerise at home ..iam just out of make up ..i dont care if i look ugly ..

wow lead in lipstic of famous brand? Hm sounds crazy! here in Lithuania and i think in the world too such "jokes" are forbided. Sure containing of lead in lipstic were discovered after some laboratory made tests on it. I'm doubt that famous firm would show it in label of product... I had information about that woman during her life eat about 6 kg of lipstic. Hm imagine she could die using such lipstic all life... man usually don't like their wife use cosmetic...as they say - they like natural face (sure, they don't want "eat" wifes make up when are kissing her! hahahaha). But somehow they will not pay attention to woman with "no face" -without make up.As man don't like show to woman their bald pate:) as woman need to look nice faced. And woman would say that she like her man natural, not covered head by wig or "bouquet"made of remainder hair on head...But man try hide it. So make up for woman is as a part of body:) For her good feeling. And she never lose patience to give herself some time for spending it up the mirror.

I believe so but at the same time, some men use it too. I dont use makeup everyday or barely ever. I have natural beauty in my eyes and dont need it, plus with 2 kids under the age of 2 who has the time.

well being a guy i think that if i was to truely go for a women based jsut on their looks i would want them not to wear make up as they true beuty has nothing to do with their makeup, sure at time they can dress up and put it on but most times there is no need. it just seems people in this world (paticullary girls) are just becoming too worried about their looks, a little concern is alright but obsessions have began to strike the world which is a bit to far in my eyes. cheers Plunt
