What would the world look like...

...if women dropped the pretense and stopped wearing any make up at all?

A 28 year-old woman I've worked with for the past five years shows up at the office today not wearing a drop of make up. Seems she's developed some type of skin allergy and her doctor recommended she discontinue wearing any make up for the time being.

Hopefully I hid the horror that washed over me when I saw her for the first time without her mask.

Prior to today I rated her about a "7" on my personal beauty meter. But after seeing her without any make up she dropped down to about a "1". I could not help but think of my Uncle Stan when I looked at her face.

Any comments about the topic?

A-plus for being a vapid asswipe. Congrats!

You previously rated her a 7 - and had no chance.
Now you rate her a 1 - and you still have no chance.
Sucks to be you.

I can't speak for everyone, but I actually prefer a woman with no makeup or added fragrance. I want to see and smell HER. But then, I married a tomboy who is a knockout in old jeans a tee shirt with her hair either pulled back or flying hell-west-and-crooked. It isn't that "made up" women aren't sexy, just like it better when they have that "this is really me" look.

I like make-up, but not in that, "I'm wearing make-up to look like I'm not wearing make-up" way. I don't like natural looking people. I like folk who have eccentric eye-liner, dark lip tones- really, it's the eyes. I like folk who look at their face like a blank canvas and make-up as the paint. It's a socially acceptable way to literally paint yourself up. It's an art form.

I really dislike people- mostly women who do this (sexist generalization) who wear make-up on the pretext of making people think that that's just how they look. For some reason that I can't pinpoint, I find it both creepy and dull. If you're wearing make-up to look like you're not wearing make-up, then don't wear make-up. That's a waste of money that you could be spending on weed... which would put circles under your eyes and force you to wear more make-up.

I'm sleepy. I forgot what my point was. Carry on.

There's no practical reason to wear make-up.
There's also no practical reason to comb your hair.

Yet only one is seen as either vanity or conformism.

Yes there is.

Sans lice infestation? Which is not a foregone conclusion.

Sorry, for a moment there I forgot you're European.

The lack of usefulness elevates make-up and hair styling to ART!

 

[Aeolist]

I've never met a woman I've found sexier with makeup on than without it.

But then, I'd say the same about clothes.

 

[lovetoread]

The issue is that there are a lot of men who really should be wearing makeup. Might pull them up a level or two.

I've said that forever. Make-up started out as a guy thing. All theater and shit.

Although I must confess that it's hardly ever the way a guy looks that turns me into a menacing stalker... I mean love-struck fool. It's all about confidence, attitude and a sense of humour. A smokin' bod comes way down the list (if I order it alphabetically).

I haven't done make up in almost 30 years. At this point if I put any on, it would be horrid. Especially at work, where hardly anyone wears it at all.

And it's ridiculously expensive...

 

[off2bed]

Funny how women slather on makeup, dye their hair, curl or uncurl it, don fake eyelashes, buy fake boobs, and then bitch that they can't find a "real man."

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

As long as rock stars get to keep wearing it...

 

[sweepthefloor]

Make-up is great. The point of a made-up face is to see it become a swirly mess of tears on ink.

 

[Honey123]

I think first and foremost, it's really sad that she developed an allergy.

l will never understand this "rating system". If more people just went on what a person is like and how they make them feel inside, there would probably be less people bitching about how alone they are.
