Gloria25 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 ELol, funny, we women got it good...we can dawn a baseball cap and look like a boy, but still be girls when we want to... Madonna - "What it Feels Like for a Girl" http:// http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W9X6aOOBoGg I love this song cuz I can identify with it so much. So, I am so thankful to be a girl...while I do have a casual side and can even do guy stuff, I can still revert to being a girly-girl.
Gloria25 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Gloria, respect and such, but I don't go out with "caked" makeup, and that doesn't mean guys who think I'm cute are gay. =/ I agree with you about trying to be feminine, though. I wear clothing that fits and like to make my hair cute and such. I think there is a difference, though, between showing off and accentuating our natural womanliness, and something like caking on makeup. Not that the latter is inherently "bad." But the former aint gender-bending, come on now lol. I don't know about that girlfriend, I remember my grandma telling me that "a woman's hair is her beauty"... I also remember my last FWB upset when his wife cut her hair...and she was a gorgeous woman...but, I think her cutting the hair was another "f-U" to men cuz she was sexually abused as a child. He said that it turned him off so much he couldn't get hard for her.
rocketman122 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I love a women that takes time to look good. i even love watching them when they put it on. Especially when theyre naked and i can touch them all over. But when she does the makeup and hair and nails and heels and sexy thong wow turns me on. It doesnt mean i dont like when shes natural as well but man do i love femenine women. Hate tomboys and femenists. I appreciate they investing time to be attractive for me and i try to do the same for them. 1
insert_name Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Of the 5 women I went on dates with last year only 1 had visibly bothered to wear make up or put any effort into their appearance. By contrast I always wear smart clothes on a date- good first impression right? Not anymore as it doesnt seem that women take it that seriously. Make up seems to be a great leveller in how it can make an average girl look hot, I'm kinda jealous in that the only ways I can try and make myself more appealing is through clothes or going to the gym. That girl in the video does not look that attractive without the make up on- mainly because of the quality of her skin. what is up with that?! Is that a by product of constantly wearing make up?
evanescentworld Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Guys aren't as fake.. You see what you get.. We are also busy working/inventing/planning instead of studying cosmo to see how we can make our but look bigger, legs look longer, lips bigger, hair lighter, lashes longer, cheeks redder, etc etc. (Bold) What a sexist pile of pants. And the amount of guy magazines on shelves, instructing guys on techniques to look better, feel better and be better at sex, would belie your claim that some guys aren't attentive to their appearance and image. Shame it's probably wasted on you if you're so busy working/inventing/planning... which incidentally, of course, are not exclusive male domains.... It's ridiculous how fake women are. Putting on make up which is basically painting a face over her own, heels to make her taller and have the legs look different. And then who knows what goes into hair. But you can see it's "fake". you can see how it's applied to enhance. Women who go over the top, with sculpted eyebrows and make-up you could rip off in one piece and place on the face of a hat-stand, I can equate. The 'older' women get, the less they apply. I find 'natural' looks best.... Mutton dressed as lamb is about as attractive as a Panto Dame....(American friends who do not understand that concept - a weird British institution - should google 'pantomine dames'). Now is all of this done for men, or for herself/other women? I would guess a combination of those.... Well, guys, IMO, don't require the amount of grooming we females do. On Seinfeld they made a joke about it...Elaine was like 'women are like art, men's bodies are more "utilitarian"...in other words, guys just need a good haircut, shave or kept facial hair, no ear-hair, cut nails, showered and cologne. I agree. But looking at some of the specimens out with their ladies, on a Friday/Saturday night, any woman would be considered lucky to have that! Most guys only bother when they need grooming, not because they're going out. So they do it as a necessity, not as any gesture of effort on their part..... But yes, I am gonna bring up a date with a guy who showed up in cargo shorts and tennishoes for a first date...pleeeze, who said you wear that on a date? I mean, too casual. Ugh! I sympathise.... and can equate! But then again, maybe it's a missmatch. I mean I've seen like "hippie" couples where both equally look terrible, but they're a match.Sadly, the 'mis-matches' outnumber the 'lookey-likeys'... Women do all of this and then complain that men objectify women and call men superficial. Makes sense. Men do nothing of the kind, look and behave like entitled slobs, then complain we moan about how lazy they are. Makes sense. How come women aren't rose bushes too? That's what I don't get. Women do so much extra that's far beyond what they need to look good. That is a purely objective Point of view. Each individual does what they feel they need to do to make themselves feel good. Sadly, it would appear on the face of that, that guys don't actually WANT to make themselves feel good. Women do too much, men don't do enough. Solutions, please....? 3
Omei Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I have a great completion, and I love doing color on my eyes like the tutorial, it only takes me about 15 mins to do her look without all that caking of coverup, I don't really care about toning my face to make it look like im air brushed from a magazine. I love makeup im 28 and when i have my makeup on im told I look 20 ish when I have it off I srsly look like a child lol I like how it ads a little age to me. I like eye makeup most I have smallish eyes and I do a pretty cateye like Emma stone usually has I like how with makeup I can change my eyeshape completely to seem larger Edited January 16, 2015 by Omei
Toodaloo Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Oh my word... I think I am just going to stick with my tub of Vaseline lip salve and my mascara... All that rubbish on my face and it would explode... let alone take hours to remove... Being pretty just isn't worth it and no I did not get to the end either... So so so glad I don't bother with make up day to day... 2
Gaeta Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I wear mascara and lipstick, that's it. If I try something a little more elaborate I get * What's that on your face! * You don't need make up! * You look better without that on your face! Problem solved. Mascara and lipstick it is.
Erised Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Look at how much trouble we go to to look for you. I dare the guys to watch the whole thing! Full disclosure : We don't all do this. I don't even own a quarter of that amount of makeup even if I was inclined to get fancy. I do put more effort into making my hair and clothes look nicer to go out with a man I'm interested in. It's okay; It's a benefit to the sort of guys I like and whom like me. That I am low maintenance and don't do all this is frequently appreciated by men. I don't mind other women doing what feels comfortable to them; and I know some men prefer it. I did try to wear more makeup (had it professionally applied) and was told I am too attractive to wear makeup (the guy's personal preference shining through, obviously), and that I looked better without.
Shining One Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 As stated before, most men will groom as needed. We need a logical reason to do it. Hypothetical example: If getting "dolled up" guaranteed a guy would get laid on a Friday night, you would see a lot of lonely guys properly groomed and dressed nice. I generally prefer women who wear little to no makeup. I do appreciate well done makeup, but not overboard. I hate it when it ends up all over my sheets.
Frank2thepoint Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Look at how much trouble we go to to look for you. I dare the guys to watch the whole thing! I failed the dare. I stopped the video at 6 seconds. A woman is an Xmas tree...would you prefer a pine tree in your home or the lights, ornaments, angels on top? I mean, pine trees are cute and all without all the lights and stuff, but it's Xmas...we're gonna jazz up our pine tree. I like the natural smell of a pine tree. I like to put my nose up-close, and sensually sniff the pine tree up and down. I prefer my pine trees to have their lights, ornaments, and angels on top to be easily taken off.
Phoe Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I've found that no matter what I do, I don't look that different. Me with full globs of makeup and styled hair only looks maybe one notch above Me with no makeup and hair in a ponytail. No amount of styling really changes how I look. I look like lil ol average me regardless, so why spend tons of time and money on it all? All the makeup I own fits in a mug. I wear concealer, blush, and mascara just to look polished. For hair? I own a Blowdryer, flatiron, and shampoo, conditioner, and hairspray. That's it. I keep it simple. No amount of primping has ever significantly altered my look, so I just stick with the natural me
SomeDude16 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 There is a diffrence between what a is neccesary amount of makeup and going overboard. I appreciate makeup that brings out a women's natural features, a little lipstick or eyeshadow. That's it. Every woman I've dated long term I've asked to not wear any makeup or to limit it to eyeshadow or lipstick. Every single one agreed and not only that they continued to not wear it after the relationship ended. If I'm going out with you I'm attracted to the person I see. You don't need to wear makeup to impress me or hld my attraction. In fact it does the opposite. 1
preraph Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Men love makeup but they don't know it. It takes longer to "look natural" than it does to put on glam makeup. Guys always love glam makeup, too. What they don't like is caked on makeup and poorly applied makeup, which is why it takes a long time to do good makeup that is properly applied. Guys think women without makeup look hungover. No woman looks better without makeup. Men just think they don't have on makeup. Without it, they're washed out, most of them. So you guys who are saying you like no makeup and natural look -- really? Then why are you glued to the Victoria's Secret show year after year? Those women spent hours and hours getting makeup -- from head to toe. I'm certain you'd never want to go out with one. On a related note, if you've ever seen Kate Moss without makeup, you wouldn't even recognize her. I like guys who go to some trouble and a lot of the ones I liked also wore some eyeliner, and they pretty much all dressed up or even if they dressed down, they put some real thought into it. I like my men trying to look good and styling their hair and looking killer. 2
Gaeta Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 So you guys who are saying you like no makeup and natural look -- really? Then why are you glued to the Victoria's Secret show year after year? hahaha you really think men look at those girl's make up? or at their face at all.
Snowman219 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Look at how much trouble we go to to look for you. I dare the guys to watch the whole thing! Call me when you figure out how to get an erection, then we'll agree what's more difficult to do.

Done right, people do not notice you are wearing makeup just that you look the best you can and that takes considerable effort. I am not sure if VS is the best example though. Their faces are not what is being showcased.
evanescentworld Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Call me when you figure out how to get an erection, then we'll agree what's more difficult to do. Women get erections all the time. They achieve them in their clitorises, it's very common when women are aroused and sexually active. The penis is just an enlarged clitoris. You did know that, didn't you?
GemmaUK Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 She is wearing one whole scary amount of make up. If I were a guy..and knew she was doing that..it would cause me to flake!! I would hope her make up sesh like this would be a once a year thing but I suspect it isn't. Fake lashes are trashy. Lots of eye shadow is trashy. Bright red lipstick (she wasn't into bright stuff thankfullly) is trashy. Sorry..JMO 1

Maybe... I've seen women who start to get like dark circles around their eyes and I guess you can tell that's the result of constant eye makeup in that area.
SomeDude16 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 So I'd like to pose a question to all you women who are fond of makeup. Is makeup something non negotiable for you or If a man you dated asked you to either wear less makeup or none at all would you be opposed to it?
Sunfire73 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Not into make up that much, and I started late 30's to put on makeup. Right now, I'm in my early 40's so I need to at least wear natural make up when going out. Not too over the top, just the basics (powder, eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss, eyebrow liner, sometimes eyeshadow). When we just stay in with my bf, it's just moisturizer and lipgloss. I want to make an effort to look good on dates, but am comfortable with my natural look when staying in. Haven't had any complaints from him.
evanescentworld Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 ...Fake lashes are trashy.... ...Hmmmmm... Not always... Audrey Hepburn wore false eyelashes well into her early 60's.... I think she always looked wonderful. But admittedly, she was in a class of her own...
kendahke Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 That girl in the video does not look that attractive without the make up on- mainly because of the quality of her skin. what is up with that?! Is that a by product of constantly wearing make up? She's got freckles. That has to do with genetics and not products.
