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' ?

What's the correlation?

I frequently wear makeup, but I am perfectly comfortable without it.

I don’t judge anybody else by if they wear it or not. My wife has never worn a drop of makeup in her life (including on our wedding day!) and she is beautiful.

I wear minimal makeup but I don't notice other people unless they look OTT or something

I’ve just put on a tinted lip balm and can feel my IQ dropping.

I don’t leave the house without make up but I don’t notice if others are wearing it or not. No idea if my colleagues do and I see them a lot. I’m probably wasting my money but it makes me feel better and it’s for me not what others think which is good as it’s seems like other women don’t notice anyway

30 here , haven't worn make up in 12ish years. I dont judge either way! If they are not harming anyone and they are happy who cares 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don't wear it either and don't notice whether other people wear it or not (unless it's very bright)

Fine. 44, minimum make up. Pretty enough 😊
Nobody else's business.

I don't think its make up or lack of that makes people judge on any of the criteria you list OP. Whether people think you're 'frumpy' is likely to be about style and dress sense. If they think you look 'lazy' that will typically be a weight related judgment. Whether you've 'bothered' will be about being clean neat and tidy. And whether you're 'pretty enough' will be based on whether or not they think you're pretty!

I’m surprised at so many anti-makeup comments. I wear make up most days, it makes me feel more groomed and finished. I’m just puzzled by women who don’t wear it when it is a good opportunity to make a personal style statement. It also helps protect your skin from the elements, I have very good skin and feel it is part of the reason I have no pigmentation or redness problems.

I admire women that looks great without make up. Without foundation on I look like iv been dug up

Of course I notice if someone is wearing make up. I've got eyes. It's like the faux naivety of saying of I don't see colour to prove what a completely non racist you are. You have to be wearing really excellent make up skillfully applied for no one to spot it. The pretence on here is astonishing sometimes. If someone is wearing red lipstick, it stands out a mile. It's nonsense to pretend otherwise.

However I don't judge them. If they want to wear it fair enough, if they don't fair enough. I support their choice whichever way they prefer.

I do occasionally feel saddened when I see younger women wearing lashings of contouring make up, big false eyelashes etc. The money they spend on pretzeling their natural looks into something acceptable to the male gaze could be better spent on experiences for themselves or invested for their futures in my opinion, but it is still completely up to them.

It saddens me in the same way as when I see a young woman in adsa wearing what is basically a skin tight leotard. It doesn't matter how stunningly good looking or how confident she is. She's not doing it for herself. She's saying look how much value my looks give me. You don't see men doing the food shop with their bum cheeks peeking out of a high cut body suit whilst teetering in high uncomfortable sandals. I see so many teenage girls pulling tiny lycra shorts out of their backsides. Whereas last summer I didn't see a single teenage boy doing it, they all seemed very comfy in their baggy shorts.

I wish there wasn't the pressure on women to spend a fortune and squander precious minutes of their life on a make up routine, but there is a lot of pressure.

And so while the pressure exists, as far as I'm concerned crack on, do whatever makes you feel better and whatever gets you through the day.

As a young woman in the 1970s I wore none. I never considered wearing any. As a young mum in the 1980s I was too busy to change my mind. During the 1990s in a professional job I noticed women of my age seemed to be wearing it so I started wearing a light foundation, bit of blusher and some mascara. Then I started noticing that older women looked (in my opinion) a bit weird and doll like with makeup on so I stopped. Now retired, I own some foundation and blusher but don’t wear them, as I think I’d look silly. I don’t judge those who wear it but prefer to see people generally with just their normal face.

I wear minimal make up and don’t judge others on their choice - don’t think anyone looks bad without it but am impressed by the skills of some women who wear a lot! I work in an office with a lot of women and do find it sad that some do judge others - there’s quite a few who wear the full shebang with false eyelashes etc every day who make awful comments about those who don’t wear make up, but some of the au naturel lot are just as nasty about the ones who do wear a lot of make up.

I can barely work up the enthusiasm to put a bit of moisturiser on, make up is a distant memory. I don't miss it.

I’m mid 20s now and don’t notice whether someone has makeup/no makeup unless it’s really cool makeup 🤷‍♀️ Well, obviously I would notice, but it doesn’t flag anything to me like ‘ooo they must be self concious’ or ‘oooo they must love eye makeup’ I’m genuinely not bothered.

I think I’m too bothered about how I look and present myself to be bothered about whether anyone else does or doesn’t wear make-up!

Me too, I'm the same age. I wish I looked good without anything on my face, but I really don't

Thinking about it as a red head I would probably look better with some mascara.

feel better about women that don't than men that do.

Burn the bitches.
I'll be at the top of the bonfire. I'm bad at putting it on, therefore I cannot be arsed. It makes me look as if I've coloured my face in. Don't see the point.

😂Absolutely hilarious that some people are saying non-makeup wearers are brave or more intelligent than make-up wearers. I’ve never felt so proud to be an overworked busy scruff bag who doesn’t make time for themselves!

I also have a scruffy house, does that make me doubly brave or doubly clever?!

I don’t think k about it at all. To each their own.
I don’t wear anything on my skin bar a smudge of blush tint on my cheeks, but I do wear mascara and winged eyeliner daily. I also have to ‘fill in’ my eyebrows sometimes these days as perimenopause makes them go patchy. I also love a bold lip.

I feel great about myself thanks!

Brutally honest ... if they are very attractive without makeup I think "wow, they look that good without anything on their face!!!"

If they look tired/washed out etc like most of us then I just think "oh they're someone who doesn't care about their appearance" but I'm not impressed in the same way... which is possibly mean, but it's the honest truth about what I think.

I'm very impressed/envious when I see an attractive person still looking great without makeup
