Have been asking myself the same question also, why they dislike make-up.

I guess everyone wants a natural beautiful girlfriend/wife

I myself isn't really into make-ups expect when it's only needed

I dated a Nigerian guy who only complimented me in the morning when I woke up. He didn't understand why I would wear make-up if I had nice skin. Women use make-up as an accessory, like earrings or a purse. Some days, I want to look natural and light, and sometimes, I might feel like expressing a darker side. I think make up is beautifual if used to accentuate our beauty and not cover our faces. I was told that make up reminded (him) of a dead person, go figure! Women, maybe compromise, wear natural looking make up when you are with your beaus. I will not give up make up completely, but I don't wear my blue and pink eyeshadow when I am with him, and actually, I have learned to appreciate my natural beauty more.

good question.

Some of them date ladies who use makeup then ask her to stop wearing it after they get married.


Wasnt it the make up that probably made them notice her in the first place?

These same guys who drool over heavily made up stars?

haba, am sure ur bobo wud still like u without the makeover, sultry eyes or not.

@poster
I think most guys who go after women with little or no makeup do so because they appreciate the natural or UNENHANCED BEAUTY, personally i think as long as the "disguise" is not to much then am cool
Re: Guys And Makeups: Why Do Most Men Prefer Women Without Make-Up? by africhika(f): 5:16pm On Sep 07, 2009
i never wear more than coco butter oil to shine my lips. some females go overboard on the makeup. what are you hiding? i think guys just want to see our face, not artificial colors.

Some men will say i hate make up on you, the second you step out with him, his neck is rotating like the earth at other women heavily clad in what he calls 'grime'. God help you if you went like opelope anoniting there!

sometimes ladies overdo it (perfect semi-circular eyebrows and blue lipstick anyone?) my make-up's light, yet some guys ask me 'y aren't u wearing make-up?' not sure how that tallies with guys not liking make-up.

Who conducted this survey?
Re: Guys And Makeups: Why Do Most Men Prefer Women Without Make-Up? by Cyana(f): 11:39am On Feb 25, 2010
Cause guys worry about their one night stands, perfectly made up the night before, when they wake up in the morning,you got no eyebrowns,your skin on your face is two toned and one of your eyelashes is missing, worst case scenario ''YOUR ACTUALLY A MAN''

I do not really like make-up on girls, in general, especially when used abusively.

My ex wasn't really into make-up (maybe just a bit of eye-liner or whatever that's called) so I had no reason to complain. However, my sisters (15 and 17) are fond of painting their faces with all those extra. Keep it cool and simple, ladies. wink

I'm more into lip gloss. Lipstick - when color red - is an abomination. lipsrsealed kiss

I guess it depends on how loud the woman's makeup looks. Nude colours look very natural, I wonder why a guy would have a problem with that.

They should stop lusting over Celebrity images then because those celebs dont look like their photos when they wake up in the morning.

To be honest, a lot of times guys can't tell that a girl has make-up on! Unless a girl over does the eyes and contouring and what not, they can't tell the difference grin wink
