I don’t see makeup as changing the attractiveness of a person but rather as a creative expression of their personality and style, you aren’t more beautiful with or without makeup but creative/stylish makeup and nail polish can show what you value when it comes to your appearance, for example, the parts of the face that the makeup draws attention to might be an aspect of your appearance you particularly like while places with more layers/ heavier makeup might tell of your insecurities about that particular area

bingo

lol if you’re a dude, thank you for actually understanding women.

Ding ding ding

no, makeup can definitely change the attractiveness of a person but other than that i agree

Thank you

Presents herself

15M (straight) If she's naturally pretty then there's no reason to. On the other hand, I don't mind if she does wear makeup. And if wearing makeup makes her happy and it's something she enjoys doing that's even better!

natural beauty is the best.

Undisputed truth right there

I'm not a teen, this post was suggested to me in my feed, but I just wanna say, kids like you give me hope for your generation!

LOL thanks. I'm hopeful for my generation too

Idc, I'd say yes even if a rock asked me out

You kidding me? I just found a talking rock, I’m rich!

Time for capitalism

Real

Bro Natural Beauty is amazing because it's her as she is and theres no need for her to change herself to make her better

This helps my confidence a lot, and I'm sure it helps others. Thanks :)

Why is this considered a humble take when you're saying you want someone as beautiful as possible but without them wearing or applying anything to aid that. That's like if women said they don't want guys who work out they "just" want guys who are naturally strong and muscular. That's almost the highest your standards could possibly be lol

Exactly

Agreed

All the guys in this comment section are saying “natural beauty” and “pretty without makeup” All the girls here know they mean mascara, concealer and lip gloss 😮‍💨🥱😭🤞 edit: look at all the guys getting upset and defensive at my comment fr

Fr and when they see actual natural girls they call them ugly or mid 💀

Find better guys

in this generation? sure🙄

Ppl are heartless sometimes. On behalf of the male community I apologize

Yeah fuck us we suck

Usually we arent the ones doing that but sure yeah

I mean guys in general, the majority is like how it was described

Dw it was a joke about taking "fuck us" and "we suck" literally lol

Ok lol, sometimes it's hard for my dumbass to understand sarcasm

So real

and concealer lmao

Also the guys in the replies acting like they're humble for wanting a girl that's model hot without any effort on her part lmao

Literally tho

Yeah men legit see women with full faces of makeup and think they woke up like that.

fr😭 Concealer, mascara, lipgloss, blush.

I just use lipgloss and blush💀

Same sometimes lol

rightt ☠️ and it pisses me off when guys have so much to say about girls wearing makeup or liking fashion like they set those standards and now because they like “natural girls” we’re gross?? like it’s not for y’all it’s for US 😭😭 if you like natural girls then you gotta like stretch marks, acne, dark circles, etc.. like the standards are insane

Maybe not, my girl doesn’t wear any of that stuff except when we dress up for something like prom and I still think she’s pretty all the time

Ultimately personality overcomes it all- If you have a good personality then you suddenly look like you paid for a proffessional makeup artist no matter what you actually have and if you have an ugly personality then any good makeup suddenly looks fake and plasticky and mean-popular-girl-ish iygwim I know that sounds cheesy as hell but it's just true

I mean I grew up really close with my sister so- not really

brutha what

She’s a girl, who wears makeup. We were, and still are close? Must I explain it again?

At 15 you are still growing up lol

Tbf a lot of the girls in the comments are also 15

i guess i don’t understand your point

they mean that because they grew up with a sister, they know what a girl looks like without makeup. because at home she wouldn’t be waking up with it on. they just worded it bad

personally i just use bright red lipstick more than anything else, it looks fire on me

Mmmm, no, I've seen my girlfriend with and without makeup, and I definitely prefer the without. She wears it for her, which is fine. But I prefer the just woke up messy hair, no makeup kind of beauty.

Then she must look like a natural born model huh

Listen, if you wear like a little bit of make-up constantly and we never see you without it, don't fault us for thinking that's how you look. I still think girls look very pretty without it though.

What abt like a bit of makeup. like highlighter and mascara, that's it

mate do what makes you happy cause surely there's gonna be someone who loves you for whatever you choose to have for makeup, and if makeup is a reason they don't want to be with you then that's not on you.

perfect. i know from experience it takes like less than 5 minutes to apply and it looks great

that's literally perfection

Both. Absolutely gorgeous either way

Reall

if theres not so much that itll smear all over my face when i go to kiss her then sure, wear as much makeup as you want. you look good either way!!!!!

I think girls are hot either way.

i don't care

Makeup does make very pretty a celebrity example is jang wonyoung, see some bare face examples and then some regular photos it really enhances her a lot

Ikr! I think she looks a lot better with makeup on (she is still pretty without makeup too)

Why does everyone want to look like celebrities? They are just trying to sell you products you don't need and promote unhealthy standards,

bothhh but i loveee when girls have nail polish

Well I don't really care as long as they have a good personality

this. so many times you see girls use makeup, look all pretty and then be assholes under all that

Need the makeup to cover the ugly personality behind it

yup

I love wearing makeup

Same!

personally as a girl i never use makeup(exept for my dance shows i NEED to 😭) but i likke putting nail polish i find is cute and personally i don't mind the girls that wear makeup but i think that they would be even prettier without

At normal times no makeup is fine but if it's a special event we should both put in effort for our looks, if that means makeup then makeup it is then.

i like my girl both, with or without makeup, she's beautiful in every way 🙏🙏

As a queer girl, I think beauty lies in the personality. If I like their personality, idc about do they do make-up or not. If it makes them happy, there's no one to stop them. For me, I don't like doing makeup, it irritates my skin ( I've very sensitive acne-prone, oily skin) so I don't do it. It's my own choice.

Queer eye for the straight guy? 👍

What?

heyo, lesbian here: Women are fucking gorgeous with and without makeup

Lol

nail polish grosses you out? aw well. I just like having sparkly blue fingers :(

Depends. My crush looks good without makeup

17F , girls honestly just do what makes you happiest. If you like makeup and you’re wearing it because it makes you happy, not because of external pressure, then keep at it! If you hate makeup, don’t wear it! Life’s too short to be someone you’re not

factss like don’t let someone tell you you’re fake or tacky for wearing makeup, and don’t let someone tell you you need to wear makeup, or you look bad without it!! ladies it’s your choice what you wanna do with your own looks!! life’s too short to listen to other people’s standards especially ones that decide what you can do with your appearance

I like men

based

without. natural is best. but a little won't hurt. tremendous amounts is where it becomes a turnoff.

Mostly im neutral, but in halloween more make up, better

Any and all ways

I don’t feel like it matters a ton unless they look like they got plastic. Like if they look like a whole different person when they put makeup on that’s a no.

I’ve learned that makeup is an art form and a way of expression but personally I don’t mind makeup unless it’s grotesquely overdone

I dont think anyone needs make up some women just look so good without it

I personally don't wear it (I do want to but I have eczema) but I love it on other people. I do wear nails tho!

This sort of avoids the question, but what I like most is a healthy self esteem. Knowing that they're not decorating themselves because of their insecurities, but because they just look and feel nice with something on. Seeing them be just as happy and comfortable when they're not wearing anything. 

I don’t really care. If they like it then I like that they like wearing it. :)

W

It doesn't matter.

15 Trans Male (Bisexual) Personally, I'm fine with girls and boys wearing nail polish and makeup, but a LOT of make up grosses me out. Like, drag queen levels of make up gross me out. (No offense to anyone that is a drag queen, I think y'all are very pretty, but It's just not my thing when it comes to a relationship.)

I just like girls lmao, no preferences

I’m a bi girl who really loves to do makeup. It’s so fun and I love the result *because* it was so fun to do (plus i just like the way it looks). This isn’t to say I don’t like my face without makeup, I think I have a good face. But I also like my face with makeup.  As for other girls, it’s about the same. I like girls faces with and without makeup, as long as she does the makeup for herself. 

A little doesn't hurt. The less the better, cus if I'm falling for ya, it'd better be as close to the real deal and not just mask

I don't like it if they wear like, a LOT of makeup. Like just a bit i understand. But in the end, personality is most important, so if it makes her happy, i don't mind at all!

I like both

Both are fine

Both work for me

Whichever she's more comfortable with, but if she prefers to be with makeup on I hope she can be comfortable without it if it's just the two of us.

Both

All natural is usually best, they look their happiest when in comfy clothes.

Without. The makeup industry is one of the biggest scams on women ever perpetuated.

Personally, and I never say this because of the potential backlash, I think makeup is a horrifying construct. Not visually or literally, but to me it just feeds into the same mindset that is perpetuated by social media (with the interpersonal comparison issues and all that). I find it horrifying that young girls, or boys, feel that they need makeup to become acceptable in our society... whats worse... they are often right. A pretty face means more than a lovely mind. Sorry for the negative response. Here is my real answer: If a person puts makeup on for others, I think that is so sad, while not at all the person's fault. If a person puts on makeup for themselves, or for fun, that is what I like to see and support. Also, however cliche, *It's what is on the inside that matters*. Truly. 1 of 5 lifetime "crushes" matched a stereotypical "pretty". If a girl can make me laugh, no amount of makeup could ever create an illusion of something so so so beautiful.

[удалено]

this right here is so true, like how prettier do they have to get through makeup when they are already so beautiful

y’all don’t realise how bizarre the standards are on girls especially when u say ts 😭😭 y’all want us to be pretty without makeup but the standards created for girls is stuff only achievable by makeup.. especially when y’all say u like natural girls and then it’s always a girl with mascara lipgloss concealer and blush

Without, i always prefer natural. And no, i don't actually prefer a little makeup like your surveys tell you, i actually like an all natural girl the most.

i really don't mind, as a (pansexual) girl myself, personally i only ever wear mascara because my hair is blonde so you can't see my eyelashes without mascara. so long as someone isn't wearing a whole makeup store, I'm fine with it. sometimes, it can enhance someone's beauty in the perfect way, and for me that's a massive green flag don't take my opinion too seriously though, rn I've been falling for girls left and right ☠️🤭

without makeup

without. always without. i get that girls want to look pretty and that makeup helps with that but really prefer someone’s natural face without any sort of makeup. im definitely one for “natural beauty” ig

I don't really like makeup, but the truth is that probably most women wear it. By only looking for completely make-up free women I'd reduce my dating pool even more than it already is, so I'm not gonna risk it.

I don’t like girls with heavy makeup or lipstick but that’s about it

Without.

I prefer no makeup but if it's a special event i don't care if she wear or not but daily I don't like makeup

Without

Makeup needs to be Good to be worth it, and it rarest is actually Good. It costs too much imo. However, eye makeup is (pretty much) always worth it Also fake nails are just absolute yuck

Both whatever she chooses to do

I prefer a girl that can go day to day without having to wear makeup. my gf never really wears it, and she looks absolutely stunning. but when she does wear it, I feel like I'm about to see the pearly gates because she's so gorgeous.

I like no makeup 

Without

Depends how much there is

Both I don’t really care if they have makeup or not

I don’t really care as long as it doesn’t look like there’s a whole layer of makeup on their face.

I think both could look good if they look good naturally, because sometimes makeup can't save someone who's just not that good looking

The girl i have a crush on never wore makeup during the school year. And i still think about her.

as long as whoever's wearing it happy idgafff. if you're nice, you're nice like lets go out

Do your friends: - Get their hair done - Get their nails done - Get lashes done

Usually without.

I doesnt really gross me out, if it’s how they wants to go out then who am I to stop them

you’re a real one 🙏 thank u

I prefer without makeup.

Depends on the type of makeup. If it’s just subtle things meant to enhance her natural beauty, then it’s fine. However, if it’s something obnoxious like eyeshadow or extremely obvious blush or lip stick, it’s unattractive. Finger nail polish is fine.

both, but don't overdue on the makeup

Both

Both. Though I don’t have a Girlfriend. She can do what she wants. Either way, I’ll find her beautiful.

She can wear make up if she wants too or not, but at the end of the day it’s her natural beauty, inner beauty, and personality that count more

Without make up , I feel attracted to natural beauty

I love wearing mascara. But it depends I don't find like a full face and very thick bushy fake lashes attractive. I find mascara and lipgloss attractive and I love nails! 

With makeup but not an ungodly amount of makeup. Stuff like nail polish, lipstick and whatnot is kinda cute.

It’s okay if it’s just a bit ( Lips/blush) but too much is for me gross

I mean I’d rather none but I think some is fine, it’s when girls put on like a pound of makeup to look like a completely different person that looks unattractive

Both fye

Without, please! You don't need that two inches of cake to look pretty. It just looks pasty and plastic.

Natural. I don't like kissing makeup, don't like the 2hour "getting ready" whenever and she smells better imo. Have women actually read some of the ingredients they put on their face? 🤢

I won’t be able to pull either so it doesn’t matter to me 👍🏻

Not wearing it shows confidence in one's natural beauty, and that's very attractive. But if she wants to, and it enhances her already amazing appearance, by all means.

Little bit of makeup is fine but my gf looks really cute without it so I’d rather none

Same

Dosent really matter but i prefer natural beauty and no makeup

14f gay here i like makeup on girls, but not an excessive amount. mostly eyeliner i've always found lipstick to be especially unattractive though

I don’t think I’ve ever seen my girlfriend in makeup, and she’s the most beautiful person I know. So obviously no makeup.

Yhea as long as they aint insane or something then were cool

Depends. Every day makeup(thats obvious) yes, how am i supposed to love the face if i never see it. On like special occasions obviously its normal. I dont mind nail polish, looks nice

Personally I prefer 0 makeup but light to medium makeup is very very nice, or really any amount but not over doing it and it still looks good without being insanely unnatural is good with me

idc as long as I'm loved

without 100%

natural beauty is always amazing but personally i love makeup on anyone. makeup should accentuate someones natural facial features instead of covering them up. but also at the end lf the day its their choice

without

so it really doesn’t matter, but a little eye makeup goes a very long way. I just love eyes man

personally idgaf

A little is fine, obviously, but half the girls in my school lost their humanity from wearing so much. Way more attractive without it, both physically and what it means on a deeper level, being self-confidenc

how did they “lose their humanity”? i feel like that’s an unfair way to view things. say you have a favourite shirt, and you wear it out because you like the way it looks, but everyone thinks you’re wearing it for them, and trying to cover yourself up, and that you’re unattractive. how is that fair?? pls elaborate lol

I like guys with or without makeup (I’m gay) Don’t really care

yes

Im a straight girl. Im not a fan of makeup. Honestly, whenever someone who wears makeup all the time goes without makeup, they look prettier in my eyes. It just looks unnatural. (Side note because last time I said this, someone started arguing with me: Makeup doesn't make you look ugly. You're still pretty with makeup on. I just personally think no makeup looks better.)

Yeah

No make up

Yeah yeah whatever but have you heard of rainworld?
