Unfortunately, society is looks-based, at least here where I live. When I don't style my hair and put on a bit of make-up, I feel I get treated with a little less respect. Really, for me looking put together greases the skids, if you know what I mean. Seems like business people look down on people sometimes if they look a bit disheveled. It happens to me a lot.

When you told them that you were fine and just not wearing makeup did they not compliment and make suggestions to do it more often? (That random shot in the dark will probably catastrophically miss, oh well) |

If it's a gun to my head, pick one or else, I'll pick "should." (No, I'm not a guy.)
Doing it right can accentuate her best features, even out the skin tone, and add a healthy-looking glow, which is what makeup was originally designed to do. For that reason, in a business setting I think it looks more professional than no makeup at all, and a blotchy, washed-out complexion. Although some women do look fine without makeup, if they can style their hair well and take care of their skin. But a woman shouldn't look like a clown. I was taught in my youth that the trick to wearing makeup is to make it look like you're not wearing any. Rosy glow, yes. Two big bright red spots on the cheeks, no. Key word, "blend." We shouldn't be able to tell easily where the makeup stops and starts. This said, my daughter can do wonderfully artistic things with eye liner and shadow, and I think she should be free to express herself. She knows to tone it down for professional situations, and amp it up for parties, which is the way I think it should be. |

Yeah....don't know what shades you are referring to, but um...yeah, it's decent how I present myself with make-up.  ***had to learn how to properly apply, throughout my early teens, thanks to a stepdad, that when I was 11 said I looked like a w**re. *** |

I wouldn't touch the first question with a 10 foot pole (or a 6 foot Slav elliemay, if you're still here )Women should do whateverthe****theywanttodo. The second question can't be answered yes or no. Some women look better with makeup and some look better without. My personal preference is natural... no makeup. Thick makeup and blue eye shadow are definite turnoffs.

I'd like to point out, a lot of times men tend to think it's "no makeup," when it's actually "makeup done right," as in being able to pull off that trick of making it look natural.
Do you think most adult women are naturally endowed with even, glowing skin tone and thick, lush eyelashes? Believe you me, this woman IS wearing makeup. Lots of it. Not only that, she's probably photoshopped.

My hair is naturally dark brown/black, having a significant amount of Native American in me, but my skin is pretty pale and my eyes are green. I used to color my hair. I've been every shade of red from strawberry blonde to burgundy. Eventually I developed an allergy to hair dye, so now that I'm beginning to gray, I've got no choice but to let it happen. Anyway, before that allergy developed, I was at a stage in my life where I didn't want to fuss with keeping up a certain color. I asked a salon to re-dye my hair my natural shade, so that when my roots came it, they wouldn't show. Then I told them what it was.  And they were appalled at the idea. They didn't believe me. "Oh, no, dear, that's MUCH too dark for you. It wouldn't look natural." They absolutely refused to color me any darker than a medium brown.  My own natural hair color was "too dark" to look natural? I think that's hysterical. I ended up doing a bottle job at home. Last edited by anon20140705; Jun 09, 2013 at 03:31 PM.. |

Don't really care, TBH. If the woman wants to spruce herself up, then fair dos. I think some women like it, anyway; they like to do away with some of their flaws, and it makes them feel better about their appearance. I think the real question, one that we all would love to ask, is:
Should MEN wear makeup? :P __________________ { Kein Teufel }

I'm a woman and I prefer to not wear makeup. I only wear makeup if I'm going to attend some fancy function where everyone is dressed to the nines. hehe. But I think au natural is the way to go. Also I don't think a man should have much of a say in whether or not a woman wears makeup. I think it's my choice and my choice alone.

I only wear make up when I go out to party's and that is very rare.
I think if I was pale skinned then I would wear it, I am tanned so I don't need it

I believe that there's nothing wrong with wearing some & not changing your complete appearance.
I wear a light shade of lipgloss, to add moisture to my lips, slightly tinted moisturizer with SPF 30, and occasionally a bit of mascara (to show my invisible, light colored eyelashes). That's it. Yes, that is some make-up, but it makes me feel a little better while still being true to what I really look like. __________________ "Only in the darkness can you see the stars." - Martin Luther King Jr. "Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace." - Author Unkown |
