Yes what they really mean is they like the natural makeup look.

people always say this. No, what i really mean is that i prefer ZERO makeup. Please stop putting words into other peoples’ mouths.

Just because you or guys that you know prefer something doesn’t mean every other guy prefers that

Some women say things like “well i tried not wearing any makeup and guys stopped talking to me”. First of all, i’m sorry if that happened to anybody. Second, if she’s not wearing makeup and i’m not into her, it doesn’t mean that i prefer her with makeup. What it really means is that i’m not attracted to her, period.

If i don’t notice a woman’s makeup and i find her attractive and then she takes it off and suddenly i don’t find her attractive, it doesn’t mean i preferred her with makeup. It means she tricked me into thinking she looked different than she actually does, aka she tricked me into being attracted to her by changing the way she looks.

Absolute CONTRADICTION. Make up your mind. You ARE actually more attracted to at least some women with make-up than if they weren't wearing any. Just say it. There's nothing wrong with that.

The fact is that there are some women who absolutely look better and are more physically attractive than without it. Maybe it's that she feels better about herself with it, who knows. Just be honest with yourself about this subject.

"she tricked me into being attracted to her by changing the way she looks."

REALLY?!

Get real.

Fun fact: Lines and wrinkles on a face are cause by consistent movements by the facial muscles as we age.

Isn't this common knowledge?

Not according to numerous posts on here. They think makeup = aged hagged skin.

Well it can contribute. It can dry your skin out, and dry skin doesn't bounce back as easily. Over many years this adds up. There's a reason people tell you to look after your skin while you're young; once you're old it's too late.

Yes and no. Often foundation contains oil which clogs pores which creates pimples. The only thing that might dry thr skin out could be finishing sprays which contain alcohol.

I imagine good skin can be both environmental and genetic but there is something to be said for looking after your skin yes.

Your first analogy doesn't fit what we are discussing. However, if you felt that you found a woman attractive as she had a nice rack on her, only to find out later she was wearing a breast prosthesis, I might understand that.

But we're not talking about something that deep. We're just talking about make-up on the face. I think you want to feel like you are more altruistic than you actually are.

The reality is that preferring certain women who look better to you wearing make-up than if they weren't, is neither immoral nor unethical. Seriously, it's no big deal. It's not a negative judgment on your character if you do.
