I have noticed a bunch of new ladies joining the site these days and was curious as to how many of you wear make-up?...do you care?...wear it sometimes?...feel naked without it on?...I guess I'm one of those in between gals..I work at a place where you have to wear professional cloths and makeup is pretty much a must...on weekends I dont wear as much or any unless we are going to a "funtion" of some sort....

Another reason I'm asking if any of you have tried the Bare Escentuals line of makeup?...I have been using it for a cpl of months now and I love it, it covers the "stuff" but doesnt look all makeupey, if ya know what I mean...if your lookin for something new look into it, its darn good!

Guys lets hear your views, what do you all think?...better with or without?...do your women wear makeup?...lets hear it!

Hey Mrs. B!

I'm right up there with you as an in-between gal! If Oh and I have a function to go to, I'll get dazzled up. If we're just hangin out at the house or if I have to run a few errands, no worries going out bare. (esp. because of the summer glow hehe)

I just recently left my job, where I had to be decked to the 10's all the time to deal with clients etc... Even when I was in college I felt it necessary to always be 'made up.' However, recently I haven't felt the need to wear it unless I need to. Because of this, my skin, which has always been average, has felt so much healthier without the smothering of foundation. Not wearing make-up gives my face and skin the ability to breathe. I'm no angel though, I go tanning instead..hehe Something about a fresh tan lessens my desires as well....

But, I do of course have container after container of various types of make-up. Two of my favs are Almay's Smart Shade, and Physicians Formula Mineral Wear. The almay line is fantastic! Its called smart shade and the foundation literally comes out looking like hand lotion. When you apply it to your skin, it has pigments that smush together to 'match' your skin color making your face feel light and almost make-up free! The other brand I recommend is the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear. This is a water based foundation that is talc free and feels light on your skin. I also notice you don't get that mid-day greasy feeling either! I'm gonna hafta try the Bare Essentials line as well!! I'll keep you posted!!

Why yes...I wear make-up. I try to match my eye liner to match my shoes. uh..er..this isn't the cross dressing forum?? It's the herb forum?? er..uh..never mind! Seriously, I hate when women wear so much warpaint. I like simple. Let the natural beauty shine through. Make-up like a tart scares me. Keep it simple and don't forget the red lipstick....oh baby!

Guys lets hear your views, what do you all think?...better with or without?...do your women wear makeup?...lets hear it!



Well as a true appreciator of the opposite sex i would like to give my 2 cents. With make up, in my opinion, less is more. I dont liek to see a women all made up, if they are it makes me think they are hiding a flaw or are in secure. Make up is something that is supposed to accentuate a womens features, not to match her outfit or anything silly like that. I like to see a women frsh out of the shower, hair wet and face clean. Thats confidence to see your man with hair not done or no make up on and still look amazing.

if the women is beautiful she can step out of the shower hair wet and no make up on and put on one of my dress shirts, thats sexy!!






Nevermind

My wife is dark skinned with black eyes, all she wears is red lipstick and it suits me. ESpecially when ALL she wears is lipstick. nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

If a girl isn't attractive without make up, to me, painting an attractive face on top of it doesn't change anything. Lots of make up just says "buys into the image thing", and acts as a warning beakon. No harm in plucking the eye brow into a pair, or removing facial hair, but no point in a respray on a write off either.

Guys lets hear your views, what do you all think?...better with or without?...do your women wear makeup?...lets hear it!

American women have some obsession with that pastey creme stuff, what is it called?
They powder or dab it on and smear the crap all over their face then add more shit on top like colors and such. Goopy black mascara, and layers of lipstick, yuck.
What is that stuff? It is so fake looking, and most is not the right shade anyway...

Oh boy, to me it screams insecurity and torn up skin (cleansers stripping skin and blocked pores from that crap)

I think less is the way to go for sure. Only slight touches to enhance and that's it, and please, none of that crazy beige creme ergh

Thank God hairspray is out!

[Mrs.Babba]

Great responses everyone...I'm not surprised by the guys replies, most guys dont really like a girl to look too made up, looks very fake, I agree, less is better.

Jack, that pasty white stuff is called foundation hehee just the name pretty much says it all!

I agree mrs OH...my skin is way better with out all that goop! heheheh

LOL,Ya Old Fool,I concure.Less is more when it comes to the paint.

Too much perfume is a buzzkill too, some girls go way overboard. The worst is when the perfume reminds you of grandma, or your sister, I like the vanilla ones tho, those remind me of strippers for some reason LOL
