How do you feel about women that's don't wear Make-up ?

[flutterby1]

Just wondering what your true JUDGY thoughts are? I don't wear makeup often I'm in mid forties. How am I perceived? Lazy? Frumpy? Not caring? Boring? Can't be bothered to make an effort for others ? Or confident ? Perceived as being ' pretty enough' ?

Same here.

I rarely wear it now I'm retired, but I know I look better with it. Just can't be faffed.

I can honestly say I don't notice, most of my female friends and colleagues don't wear it except for maybe a bit of concealer and brow gel - it's fashionable now, especially with younger women to be fresh-faced and natural

@bottomsup12 "In this day and age I think it's brave (sad as it's natural). But I respect it so much and I wish I could do the same"

Seriously? You think not wearing make up is "brave" and you "respect" it? What a very low bar you have for courage and respect!

I dint wear it. I feel sorry for women who are caked it in, that they don't feel they are good enough as they are.

I often don't wear it. I'm often working long hours in hot, busy settings where it's impractical, or I'm out with DC and we'll be up a hill or at swimming etc so make-up just doesn't really factor in as something I feel a need to do in those situations. I'll put on a bit for a meeting or a clinic at work, or for a night out, though.

Women who don't wear make-up - sensible. I'm in this group.
Women who do wear make-up - committed to looking 'finished'.
Women who wear a lot of make-up - very committed.

Women who think other women should wear make-up - they've got 'nasty-woman disease'.

I am obsessed with my own make up. Other peoples barely registers with me.

I genuinely don’t care what other people wear on their face. Can’t say it enters my thoughts at all

Patronising bollox

I don't think anything really....

I'll be honest though the only time I've judged is when I read a thread once where a couple of women said they didn't wear make up on their wedding day. I actually found it quite arrogant

I'd think you had better self esteem than me. I wear make up every day and wonder if people judge me for it.

I don't even notice to be honest. Most days I do, some days I don't worry. If I worked, I would wear make up everyday as I look brighter and more awake and I think the knock on effect is that I feel more that way too.

What I do notice is plastic surgery amongst women of my age (40s). Pouty lips and a 'set' expression, usually with heavy brows. I think they look worse than those of us who are aging naturally but it probably makes them feel better so I try not to judge but I'll admit, I do a bit.

I'm more likely to notice if someone IS wearing makeup. Perhaps me and my friends are slovenly outdoorsy types but unless its a special evening out or something I don't know anyone that's does wear it daily. A lot of us have had a few injectables/microblading though.

I don't think anything at all really. I feel I can't get away without something much any more but don't wear any for normal day to day, just work and if I'm meeting a friend or something like that. I have good skin but have lost a lot of weight and I think I look a bit old without it lol

I've always been a make up wearer. Now I have four lots of eye drops twice daily that make the skin around my eyes very red I do use concealer and foundation to minimise the inflammation look.

I honestly don't notice the no make up look

never think about it but I must admit I am spell bound by very young women with a full face of slap and always wonder how much time it takes to put it all on and then take it off at the end of the day.

I think nothing. Absolutely nothing.

However, I notice when women are wearing makeup. How it's applied, what colours they're using, how much, how little, does it look nice, is it too much.

So yeah, I'm more judgy about makeup than I am about no makeup 😂 but that's only because I love makeup and how people use it 😊

Exactly the same as I'd feel about a man that doesn't wear makeup.

What would they be judging exactly? The woman’s failure to beautify herself?
They can bugger off back to the 1950s 😂

I only wear make up for things like a wedding, interview or night out so could honestly go a whole year with none of those events! I did notice once on return to work, after an interview, the comments I got on my makeup and I did think it was as though they felt I should do it everyday. I don’t care, I’m happy in my skin annd prefer to be makeup free. I do love that when I have a special event it makes me feel properly done up because I rarely wear it. Tbh I only really notice makeup when it’s a style I really like, someone who doesn’t normally wear it or if I think wow that’s a bit much 😂 but each to their own and whatever makes them happy/feel good.

I’m 50 and wear makeup everyday, I have very pale skin and eyebrows/lashes so I just make myself look less ghostly. I always want to look my best. I don’t judge anyone either way.
I am however, confused by wearing it for a special occasion. I know I look better with make up so wear it daily. Some people feel they look better without so never wear it. I can understand it when people wear it some days and not on others purely because they don’t fancy it.

But if you wear makeup on special occasions only. Why?

I find it a bit odd as I think it’s a good and easy tool to look fresh/better and that is always a good thing to do for oneself and others. Same thing as getting dressed up for a special event, I think it shows the host you care and took some minimal effort. I’d never say that to anyone not wearing make up, just my (very) personal thoughts.

I am not saying one needs to go full smoky eye and fake eyelashes everyday, but a sunscreen with coverage a mascara and sheer lipstick goes a long way and takes 45 seconds to do.

I love makeup , what you can achieve with it and how it can make you feel .
I do not judge anyone who doesn't wear it but i sometimes notice a woman and think how a little makeup would enhance her looks , my view is not in the slightest judgemental just a passing glance at another woman if that makes sense , the way i may get some inspiration from someones style or look.
I am a little envious of women who go makeup free most of the time as not wearing makeup does free up a little bit of time, and as i have got older certainly care less about how i appear without makeup.
My 15 year old wears it daily , not over the top and well applied but i do remind her that if she wears it is for herself and not to please anyone else ,the same way it is for me.

I don’t think anything really about anyone’s make up or not in the main. I might notice if you had really nice skin with no make up, or if I noticed someone’s make up look like that I really liked and I’d compliment them on it. But beyond that I wouldn’t really notice.
I sometimes do a full face, sometimes don’t wear any at all. It just depends on the day for me.

I think I last wore make up in the late 1970s.

In the meantime I have got two degrees, raised children, had a successful career, been happily married for well over three decades and have now run my own thriving business for the past 20 years. Busy social life. Not sure what a bit of gloop out of a pot would have added to that.

Happy and confident in my own skin.
