  Men who go out of their way to evaluate women’s appearances and say they like women with no makeup generally mean they prefer it when women are level ten makeup astronauts who make full face look like “I just woke up this way!”

  How do you evaluate that? I’m really asking, cause I’ve been in long-term relationships, so I’ve gone to bed next to someone who just removed their makeup and liked their face better without it, so please let me know how you evaluate that “generally” that’s what men mean - that they like full face make-up?

    There’s two kinds of putting on makeup: the kind where you’re going for drama, and the kind where you try to make it look as natural as possible, highlighting features to make them look better.

    Most often, when you see comments about ‘women should look like this!’ And ‘see, women without makeup look better!’ the pictures that go along with the comment are women with a very good version of the second type of makeup.

      Oh, so you base your assumption of “most men” off of comments you see on the internet. Ok, nevermind then.

        Ah, but I’m given to understand it’s only men on the internet. If that’s the case, given the large number of people, then it’s by far the biggest sample size.

    My, aren’t we salty.

    What I’m saying is, there is a certain type of man who goes around policing women’s appearances and beauty habits on the internet (ew, I wish they wouldn’t wear makeups… so gross!). This type also gets fussy when they have to witness a woman not having a stunningly flawless face (ew, she’s a 3, how dare she exist).

  My wife rarely wares makeup and rarely has. I prefer it when she doesn’t, which is good because so does she.

  say they like women with no makeup

  It generally means they don’t like women wearing so much make-up it is noticeable even to them.

  At least for me. I rather prefer them a little ugly than looking like a clown.

    It takes a lot of makeup to create a look where a bunch of guys think there’s no make-up.
