Should people let people do whatever they want with their bodies? <-- That's what you are asking me. Yes. Yes they should. Let other people do what they want with their face. . .Conclusion? This question is irrelevant.

As far as personal preference, it depends on the build and features of the woman in question.

as far as the main should they are not - there is no real answer that's up to them personally.

Personally I prefer fragrance oils & accessory's. I have my own blend.

When I do an art function I sometimes have used ink for flowers and vines on my face. I do, do makeup when I have to for professional reasons but I get this "Oh My g*d" "you look sooo good", reaction that makes me feel like everyone is lying when they say I look good w/o make up. Still I look years younger than my actual age. A fact I attribute to no make up, no smoking and dancing as much as I can. No, I think its genetics. My mother has never dyed her hair and still has no gray at 85 and looks decades younger.

I was concerned that I smelled bad or something and didn't know it, so I asked them about it, and all it turned out to be was that I wasn't wearing makeup. That's right, just because I was a woman, wearing makeup was considered part of acceptable work-ready personal hygiene. They wouldn't have docked a man, clean and groomed to the same degree I was, for not wearing makeup. But a woman is considered somehow not as professional-looking without it. By the way, I had not been told, before the evaluation started, that a professional appearance would be expected of me.

I ended up not being placed in a job that time because who's going to read "poor personal hygiene" in an evaluation, and hire that person? They made it sound like I didn't take a shower or something.
I think that is very bad. Almost discriminatory. Hygiene is about cleanliness, no odours, it isnt really about neatness. Thats when it switches to cosmetic levels. How do they get away with that one.

Actually if you'd followed the thread or read the actual poll question you'd have realised that certainly was not the question being asked. However I'd gladly debate that proposed question with you if you care to start a seperate thread for it... http://forums.psychcentral.com/gener...ml#post3117092

Can someone show me a picture of "just a little makeup"? I mean find something off Google and post.

I'm curious what this means to you.

Should women wear makeup?

This is one example of minimal nude makeup but she still has products like cover-up, foundation, blush, eye shadow/liner, mascara and lip color. Minimal makeup usually is nude tones. It could also be brown mascara and clear lip gloss.

Personally I wear nude tones and like to wear makeup because I have blond eyebrows and light eyelashes that don't show without it. Many men who have wondering eyes go for women who have makeup and look sexy.

The question is irrelevant to you. It was a simple question asking if men prefer a woman with or without make up.

It's no different to a woman started a thread and asking if men look better shaved and waxed or natural and hairy.

It'd have been interesting to have seperately posted this thread under both the male only and female only section of the forum and then to have compared those results.

Probably less fun though

My viewpoint, it depends on the man. I don't think a man ever needs waxing. That's just going too far. If the problem is bushy eyebrows, trimming is enough. That's how my husband keeps his under control. As for facial hair, some men look good in mustaches and beards, and other men look better clean-shaven. If they do have facial hair, I prefer it groomed and trimmed, but obvious that it's intentional, not permastubble (sorry, Don Johnson) that just looks like he forgot to shave that morning. Nor do I like the walrus look (sorry, Jamie Hyneman). George Michael and Tom Selleck do it well. When hubby was younger, he wore a mustache. I've seen pictures of him with it, but it was gone before I met him. He looked HOT in those pictures, and I wish he'd grow it again, but he said he got tired of it and doesn't want to now.

I did once know a man who let his beard grow unkempt and wouldn't even comb or trim it "because it's natural this way." He looked hideous, in my opinion. We trim gardens instead of letting them get weedy and overgrown. We should do the same with our personal appearance.

Hyneman wouldn't be the same without his mustache though!! Actually I'm not at all bothered by it. He is an unique creature.

For some reason Tom Selleck's made me shudder though. I think it is because he has no beard.

Taylor Swift looks better with the make up.

It really depends on the woman though and also how used to seeing someone with or without make up. If I see someone who usually doesn't have any or little make up, and then see them once with make up on, I'm likely to think they look better without it because that's what I'm used to seeing. Vice versa if they're always wearing make up.

I think Taylor Swift has the WRONG makeup on for her young face and her natural colouring She just cant get away with that much drama. Think if she had dark colouring it wouldnt seem so harsh. Therefore she looks better in the first pic.

I agree about the makeup.

Not entirely certain about the unhealthiness in her hair. Maybe, the first, looks a little dry and if I look closely some split ends.

How about the second photo??
