Flashy Makeup: Yay or Nay?

[Matilda]

Most guys don't know what natural looks like.
They can't distinguish between fake nails - natural nails, fake dyed hair with extensions and natural hair. They think no makeup means no green blue or heavy colored eyeshadow.

Guys in general like women as unnatural as possible. They just dont realize it. Ive been asked several times if I ever wear make up.. when I am wearing make up. So a lot of guys dont even actually know what natural is like.

Haha, pretty much! And guys always say they hate too much eyeshadow but I've found that when I do dark, smoky eyes, I get a lot more male attention.

Rather too little than too much make-up, in my opinion. There's something about a clean, natural look that I like, as opposed to a colourful clown face.

Though we can see plenty of examples of horribly failed makeup, when done with skill and style, it obviously enhances appearance and attractiveness. Hard-liner "naturalists" tend to be liars who just want to make mediocre little mice feel good and fall for their chivalric charms.

That said, women shouldn't use makeup like men use steroids; a magical substance that quickly solves all their problems. Flaws of nature are better corrected than concealed.

By the way, earrings, lipsticks, hairstyles and perfumes are also unnatural, and so is using soaps, cutting your nails and wearing clothes that are products of advanced chemistry. So what? Civilization is unnatural. You just need to find the exact amount and types of "unnatural", human intervention that's decorative while still being decent.

I like dark eye make up like this, to go out at night...


but I really dislike heavy caked on face powder/foundation and bright lipstck. I think blush should be very subtle and minimal.

This is a minimal daytime look for me. I dont wear foundation, blush or even lipgloss during the day, but I feel naked without eyeliner.

And its not only with make up. They also want unnatural bodies, hair, attitude and personalities. For example there are some posters here who that women here make "mannish" posts etc because they have some kind of an idea of what a woman is. And that idea is fake.

Basically being a "real woman" is just an illusion.

You sound very negative. I don't think this is the case in general. I can't speak for other guys, but I can't say "fakeness" has attracted me after I turned 16.

Do I have an image of an "optimal woman" in my mind? Probably, but I don't pretend that all women are like what I'd like. I also don't reject aspects that I hadn't thought of or considered before I encountered them. It's like a learning process. You can't know exactly what you like unless you've met people with all kinds of characteristics.

Both men and women have this image in their minds of what the opposite sex "should be", and as we've seen from polls about men's height or male physical strength, women often have a very specific image of what a man should be (i. e. taller and stronger than her). Men should dress a certain way and have certain values. It goes both ways. Women pretend to be more open minded than men, but in reality we both have some close minded ideas about each other.

Anyway, I can honestly say that bleached blond airhead types don't do anything for me. Some may have a pretty face or nice body but whenever they talk they ruin it for me. I'm not a dime a dozen, but I refuse to believe I'm the only guy who feels this way. If all men want fakes, then what did men do before make-up, wigs, silicone implants, botox and peroxide? What did we do before the bleached bimbo fad?

Not so long ago, the ideal woman was curvy and classy. They wore cocktail dresses instead of hotpants. The idols were Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe instead of Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton. And yes, I realise that Hayworth and Monroe were fake in their own way. They were actresses, paid to "lie" on the silver screen.

My point is that there are all kinds of people in this world. Some women are classy and smart, some aren't. Some men like women who are classy and smart, some don't.

I noticed that too,guys like to say they want natural...but in reality they wont look twice over a natural girl on street,they just don't realize

Agreed with both. Italian men say to prefer natural simply girls, but in reality they look at Barbie-like egocentric dolls with high heels and attitude.
Not only, guys litterally dispute for porn-star looking women. If they are able to pick up one it is like they have conquered the first of the class and they like to show them around for the envy of their male friends.
This phrase sounds a bit like women who say to don't like men with muscles and prefer men with belly.
Just to save some men: it is necessary that a girl doesn't make them run away when she opens her mouth.
