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’m 32 and hardly wear make up anymore - I LOVE make up and when I have the time I enjoy doing it, but I wear it because I like it, not because I feel like I have to. Most days I don’t wear any.

I honestly barely notice if a woman is wearing make up or not and can’t say I think anything either way. I will notice if it’s really like nice or quite cool make up but don’t care if a woman doesn’t have any on!

Exactly! I don't wear make up at all.

I only wear make up for an evening out or when I'm performing (stage lights create a very washed out look without quite a bit of make up). I'm nearly 40 and I've never been a big wearer. I'm allergic to quite a lot of it so have to be careful anyway.
People do sometimes comment but usually with things like "you're so lucky you have great skin and don't need any make up on". Never anything negative, despite being aware I do often look exhausted! But then no amount of make up would rescue that and I'd rather have the extra 15 minutes sleep than get up early to have time to put a face on.

I wear full make up every day. That’s what I like to do

I don't care. I barely wear any myself.

Wearing makeup doesnt make anyone interesting.

Urgh, the comments….

more respect for people without make up, judgement for those who look “sloppy”.

a persons worth is the same regardless of what they are wearing. Why are women doing this to other women?!

I judge men for looking sloppy, too.

I don't wear it and I find it easier to talk to people who don't, or only wear minimal. I find it easier to read real faces, ones without heavy makeup or botox. I struggle to talk to people wearing face coverings too, I just want to see the actual person underneath.

Mid 60s here and rarely wear makeup ( maybe once every couple of years). Still have my wedding makeup in fact! When I was a student in the 70s my holiday and weekend job was selling high end make up in Liberty, harrods, selfriges etc. I got very bored with it. Most people look better without it imo

There’s always one…

Can we not make a point without bringing down other women 🙄

I only wear it for going out and even then it's only light. I don't own a foundation. It never occurred to me to be bothered what anyone thinks.

A man dresses nicely for court; does it change his crime? No. Start looking harder at what you value.

I worked as a catwalk model when I was younger. Loads of makeup on most occasions.
Now that I don't, I very rarely wear any. I'm fortunate to have inherited my mother's good skin, so if I put on any makeup at all, it's very light.

Still have my wedding makeup in fact!

I think it might be a bit past its use-by date unless you're a very recent bride!

I usually wear makeup but genuinely don't judge what other people do, not even in my head. I would notice only if it's a change from the norm for that person and maybe wonder why (or ask if we're close enough).

I think it's usually the ones who don't wear make up that judge those who do...so I'd judge you for that in all honesty and probably unfairly.
It is about personal taste and what makes you as an individual feel good. I hate the sanctimonious judgement form so called "natural beauties" as if they win some feminist prize because they chose not to bother, when most of us wear it for ourselves, not men.

brave 🙄🙄🙄

I'm half and half in each camp.
Have no thoughts either way about anyone else.
Personally would not go out for a meal, pub, theatre etc without make up but if it's not a date or event I'm happy to go barefaced.

I don’t judge, as it’s really nothing to do with me. But sometimes I look at my friends and see they look tired and old/grey/congested and it signals something‘s not quite right and I do say something. Or rather, I ask questions. I don’t do passive aggressive, whilst opening a bottle of wine: mate, you look like you need a week’s worth of sleep or a stiff drink, what’s going on?

We are all in our 50’s though, I for one look sick (as in ill) if I don’t have eyeliner and mascara on.
But I’d never look at you in the street and scoff cause you’re not wearing make up. Stuff like that doesn’t register with me.

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

Yes - that's the one ! One of those guilty pleasure late evening programmes. Somewhat misogynistic looking back on it.

On a day to day basis I much prefer it. Natural, brave confident. So much better than people who plaster make up on and completely change their appearance.

I rarely wear make up. Basically only on the odd occasion I have an evening out, and even then it’s minimal. I don’t know many women that do wear make up daily, but admittedly I do live in Cornwall and spend most of my time on play dates/baby groups etc. different living in a city working in a professional office base I guess.

I can't say I notice if someone is wearing make up or not.

I wear makeup up every day but not a lot. I think most women do look their best with natural make up that highlights their best features, rather than masking with heavy make up, contour and all that. I don't think anything negative of women who don't wear any but I think at least in a professional setting, it shows you put effort into your appearance if you are wearing it. I don't really get why some women go to a lot of effort with their nails but don't wear make up.

I don't use it. I just have it, I have so either stuff from when I worked full time. I have a lipstick that's about 6 years old. Everything else is 20years plus!

I love makeup and always wear some but I couldn't care less what other people do.
