How do you feel about women that don't wear make-up -thread 2

[flutterby1]

Just wondering what your true JUDGY thoughts are? I don't wear makeup often I'm in my mid forties. How am I perceived? Lazy? Frumpy? Not caring? Boring? Can't be bothered to make an effort for others ? Or self confident enough not to ' need' it, regardless of how attractive you view yourself ?

I don't notice the difference

I'm 40, never really have worn make up often, unless I'm 'out,out'.

I really don't care enough to pay attention to who's wearing what on their faces.
Although, that said, I often wonder how those woman who are beautifully made up have the time or inclination to do so.

Each to their own.

I don't wear make up. I never have bar a few teenage experiments where it got wiped off immediately as I couldn't stand the feel of it on my skin. I'm autistic and even struggle with having sun cream on.

I don't really notice if other people are or aren't wearing make up. Unless they go for the bright orange look/drawn on eyebrows etc.

And the ones with the enormous false eyelashes that makes me wonder how they can have a full range of vision, and don't jump every second thinking there's a spider crawling down their face!

I think to me it links to the hyper feminisation of fat women in order to be perceived as attractive.

I'm in my 50s.
I have never worn daily make-up. I used to wear some make up going out, but nothing like a full face. Now I don't wear any usually.
I am amazed when my teen dd spends 30 minutes doing make up.

It just isn't part of who I am. I have very ordinary face and hair. I wear things like navy jeans and an M&S jumper. So no fast fashion, but boring middle aged.

On the other hand I am a teacher, pastoral care worker, and busy and active.

I just can't bring myself to care about make up.

I never notice if women are wearing it or not unless they have a huge full face on, and then I wonder what the occasion is, or it might idly cross my mind to wonder why they need it/bother on a daily basis.

But I have never worked in a corporate environment. Maybe it is different. Just like I have never really worn 'work clothes' (suits/tights heels etc)

I dont think anything? Some of my friemds do some dont i dont give it any thought at all.

I genuinely don't think it would cross my mind either way to be honest. I'd see it as a personal taste thing - just like other fashion choices people might make.
I wouldn't make any kind of judgement either way.
I don't wear much makeup myself. A bit occasionally. But only a bit of concealer when needed, and maybe some blusher if I'm tired. But, very little. Many days none at all. My reasons are that I've just never got in the habit. I'm an outdoorsy girl, and also to be honest would rather spend my time and money on other things. But, each to their own.

Well aren't you a delight! 🤣

Same here
Don't wear much myself

Really? You sound deranged quite honestly. Do you really not have anything else in your repertoire to gasp in horror at in this world, lucky you....

I generally think I don't really notice.
I wear very minimal makeup day to day, just because I'm late 40s and look like death without it. When I was in my 20s I didn't bother.
The 28 year old I work with has made a conscious decision not to wear make up for work because she doesn't want the young girls she teaches to see it as something you have to do to look good, which I think is great.

I looked this up. Interesting

I feel sorry for them.

Oh, I thought she was just saying that women who wear makeup are fat!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this poster would be confused as fuck when she sees me with lashes, lip fillers and botox but not a bit of makeup when I'm chairing a child protection meeting.
I don't look like a sex doll and I'm not any of the stereotypes suggested in the thread. Imagine believing women can make choices about their own faces as they see fit.

I don't have any opinions. And unless someone is wearing heavy make up I can't always tell who has makeup or doesn't.

I do notice when women have really striking eyes and don't wear eye makeup as I need make up for my eyes to stand out. So I will admire them.

I think, good for them, for not feeling like they have to conform to societies expectations. Everytime I see another new mascara or shampoo ad on TV I think we are being manipulated by the beauty industry every day. It is so much nonsense.

I don't really 'feel' anything about it one way or another. I'd probably notice it more if someone is wearing more 'obvious' make up (bright colours, very glam), just like I'd notice it more if someone had a more unusual hair colour, as visually they stand out more. But the absence of make up isn't something I'd actively notice.

To apply make up is like hyperfeminising fat women? Lipstick on a pig? Sorry I eon't understand your comment but would like to.

If I noticed, I'd think good for them! My personal preference is to wear a light cc cream with SPF, cream bronzer and a bit of mascara day to day. But we're all different!

I don't wear any but would only notice others if they are really made up with false eyelashes etc, otherwise I would not notice at all.

I would not notice or care. How I feel about other ppl has nothing to do with their appearance, but whether they are interesting/funny/ fun/kind/genuine/generous, etc

I rarely wear makeup, I live alone with my dogs and they don’t care what I look like. As for what a stranger thinks, well I really don’t give a stuff. Very occasionally I come across a good looking chap when I’m out walking the dogs and I wish I’d put in a bit of effort, but the odds are too slim for me to go through the hassle every day!

I used to wear make up as a mask as men in the street over the years as a young teenager who didn't yet wear make up would nudge each other and point and laugh at me. They called me ugly to my face ("Urgh god, look at her, vomit!", another time was "Urgh not you, UGLY". A third was when I was getting something autographed by a pair of rugby players and as the blonde pretty girl infront of me had hers done then left, the two guys who had up until that point been laughing and smiling with her, went silent as I came up and said right to me face to each other "shame they can't all look like that" as in like the pretty blonde girl). SO I wore make up religiously, one day I ran out of time and wouldn't you know it, some guys on the bus looked at me, started laughing and barked at me. "What a dog". Now i'm in my 40s and I still wear it when I can as I don't have much self confidence, but I envy women confident enough to be able to not wear it every day. I hate my ugly, ugly face, so I feel even worse when I'm not in my mask.

I'm mid 40's. I think the last time I wore make up was my wedding day over 20 years ago. And that was only because I was forced into it.
I don't see the point in painting loads of shit all over my face, when I'm still going to look the exact same underneath it.
I don't notice whether or not other people wear it, unless it's really over the top, and I could give a damn what people think about me not wearing it!
