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' ?

I've never worn makeup and honestly don't spend a lot of time thinking about it.

If I see someone with a lot of makeup on I hope they are having fun and not feeling they have to wear it, and personally don't like the look but appreciate we are all different.

I don't notice, I'll be honest.

What I do notice are ridiculous sized lips, thick oversized eyebrows and eyelashes that are far far too thick at 9am.

I have hardly ever worn make up for decades. I genuinely think I look better without.
I only notice other women's make up if it's very heavy.

I don't know many women that wear make up on a daily basis. Probably about half of the younger women (20s) at my work do, but not all. The older women, only a handful do. Maybe 10%.

I think most people don't care either way.

I have never used make up, I think it's a bit daft to be honest. A waste of money. The only thought I have about women who use it is that they have more money than sense!
Most of the women I spend time with don't use it, so it's normal to me to see faces without.

Honestly don’t think a single thing, and it would be really nice if people felt the same about women who DO wear a lot of makeup. It’s just something that needs a lot of thought, is it?

I’m the same. I only notice when someone has too much or particularly badly applied makeup.

I rarely wear it myself. Perhaps two or three times a year and then it’s only a bit of eyeliner.

*not something that needs a lot of thought

I dong wear it and I don't care about what other women or men think.

50 here and only wear mascara day to day and a bit of CC cream and lip gloss when going out out. Can't be arsed with it every day, don't feel I need it and I don't really think about/notice whether other women have it on...or how old they are.

I wouldn't notice or care. I find people are less likely to wear a full face of make up nowadays, (teens informed me that a natural make up look is preferable now).

Very occasion l'y you find some non makeup wearers judging those who do. That's unacceptable. I read a post here about a woman who judged, and wanted to laugh, at women who wore lipstick.

I don't think anything, I just think there's their face! Lots of people I know, relatives, friends, colleagues don't wear make-up. I can't say it registers with me. I would say fewer wear make-up in my line of work, and most of my relatives don't wear it either.

Truly I don’t even notice. My mum, grans and most of my aunties never wore any make up so I guess it’s quite normal to me.

I don’t wear make up every day - but I do feel better with an eyebrow tint and lash lift/tint.

Completely, utterly and in every way up to them. Would never comment or suggest they should, even as someone who loves makeup and is quite high maintenance myself. I'd be offended if someone passed comment on my choices and in turn respect other people's right to choose to be how they want to be. When I was a teenager my mums friend quite literally clutched her pearls ( as in hand to the chest she wasn't actually wearing them lol ) when she saw a photo of me on the mantlepiece all dolled up and gasped 'so much makeup' like she had been struck by lightening lol. I thought you rude bitch, it's a personal choice!

I wear makeup pretty much every day but it wouldn't even register with me if another woman doesn't. It doesn't matter

I usually feel really jealous. I’m insecure, I know I am but I haven’t been able to shake it. I have rosacea so always work make up. My skin is much calmer now than it was when I was younger but I still hate people seeing me without make up. When I’m dating someone, I will wake up before them to go and make sure it’s all fixed before they do. I hate being that way and when I see people without make up, I wish I could look like them.

exactly. We should just think “oh here’s a human face” instead of pouring all our thoughts and judgements and bias and insecurities on to the other persons choice because it doesn’t match our own.

Wear very little myself and often none if just going to a shop etc. As a PP said, I notice more if someone is wearing very heavy, noticeable make up. None I don't give a second thought

I envy them that they look ok without it and have a skin tone that doesn't run to beetroot if hot or flustered.

I wear every day as I'm not confident going out without makeup.
Women who don't wear makeup I feel they are very confident. I have more respect for them as they don't hide

It depends on the individual. Some women look great without make-up, others look ghastly with it. It's up to you whether you care what people think of course. Personally I'd say no make-up is better than excessive or badly-done make-up. But that's just me.

Early 60s here and have very rarely worn makeup. To me it does feels horrible on my skin. I've had a few passive aggressive comments in the past about being 'brave' for not wearing any - however I don't see myself as brave, or making a statement about femininity. Not bothered what people think. Also not bothered about others wearing it - if you have a spare 10 mins each morning to spend 'putting your face' on - good for you. I prefer 10 mins more sleep.

There was a channel 4 late evening programme 10-15 years ago which talked to young women who wore a lot of makeup to take it off on camera. They always looked so much better to my mind with no makeup

I judge people who go out in sloppy looking clothes and for not making an effort regarding their general appearance, but I don't judge for women for not wearing make-up.

Nice timing :) I suppose I partially did .
I'm not sure about the "problem" thought.

As I said, I genuinely don't recognise majority of makeup as makeup. I don't have facial memory, so I just see some face, but don't study the details.
I generally don't judge people's natural looks.

If someone chooses to apply a body/look modification which is very highly visible and I have to notice it, it doesn't have the protection of "just a face" and I can judge the decision.
I like some artsy makeup and I dislike some self-inflicted looks.

@DPotter Was that Snog, Marry, Avoid? I agree, they always looked better haven taken off all the make-up and layers of fake tan!
