You just shot yourself in the foot.
if make up isn't important why do it.Before you bash, it was just a simple question.........Why??
stop being so defensive.I don't want my daughters to grow up in a world where thier confidence lies in some colour pencils.
It's called "make up" becuase it's an augmentation for what you don't have.
So every time you wear make up,
you're simply telling God he could have done better.
hmmm... You made alot of sense before the last sentence. We constantly try to compliment nature. No one is born with clothes or shoes. Does using them mean we are telling God that he should have given us exoskeleton instead?

What of our stylish haircuts? Are you saying we don't like the way God made our hair or beards grow?

Before making claims, look in the mirror brother.

While some girls, as have been pointed out, makeup because of insecurity about their looks, some do so for deeper reasons. For example, some makeup help manage facial oil, so the face stays relatively dry. Do you know?

Now you're talking. ...
so you wear make up for the guys.
But it means any guy who likes you is actually in love with a false person.Not really you.
Oahray:
Trying to demonize makeup? Funny enough, at first meet, most guys notice girls on makeup faster than the plain one, unless the latter is extremely good looking.

So remind us why girls shouldn't use makeup, when guys readily fall for illusions.

I'm a guy, but I try to walk in other persons' shoes before judging them.

I see no reason why girls cannot makeup for guys, after all, we are the only two gender versions of the human specie that planet earth has. Guys go out of their way to impress girls too (though we'd like to deny it).

If your last statement is correct, girls aren't the only ones guilty of it. Haircuts, clothes, fragrances... These would mean girls like false guys. So should we all stop using them? No?
Re: Why Do Some Ladies Wear Makeup by ronald4lif(m): 11:30am On May 02, 2015
They wear make up because they love it and it makes them feel more comfortable about their skin. Anyone who doesn't like girls who applies make up have a choice of not getting involve in a relationship with them.

Not everyone dresses or applies body enhancing features to impress an opposite sex. People just want to look good for themselves and not necessarily to create a positive impression to anyone.

Most guys who kicks against make up are just being untruthful to themselves. They are more often than not still attracted and find girls with cute make ups more appealing than those without. Admit it or not that's a fact.

Death to all emasculated men? You are hilarious....in a sadistic way.

BTW: not all women wear emulsion paint for feel exposed without it.

I don't wear makeup and I feel like I am wearing a very uncomfortable mask with it.

Least I do is lip gloss and eye-liner. Pls. try to pull back on the generalizing. To each its own.

When I used "emulsion paint" you know I was referring to the heavy type MOST members of your gender can't do without. Even you are pissed off by this.

[color=#1980BC]Bro,,make up is good no doubt. But how do you explain when a girl can't even walk across the street to buy bread from that mallam's shop because she has no make up on. grin

That's the height of insecurity I tell you.

There are so many points i'd like to raise but for cogent reasons i'll just leave it here. grin[/color]

Well, whether it's insecurity or not doesn't negate the need or importance of someone wanting to feel good about their skin and body. It's their body and they have every right to do with it whatever they want and anyone who doesn't like it have a choice to ignore.

I may want to cross the road now to buy an airtime but I'm currently wearing a boxers on. On realizing that going out with the boxers might not feel good I may want to put on a trouser. I may have grown unkept bears and want to attend an event suddenly, if I can't have a hair cut in a shortest of time I may consider boycotting the event. Whether it's insecurity or not doesn't dismiss the need to look good. If things like this are insecurity then I can say without fear of contradiction that every human is guilty of it at a point in their lives.

Hmm...Pissed off? That is such a strong word. Au contraire, my friend. I am mostly neutral on the topic of makeup.

I have been doing most of my life without makeup. Why should I be pissed?

Just merely saying "calm down". You come off as someone with a chip on shoulder/been seriously hurt type agenda/message.

Re: Why Do Some Ladies Wear Makeup by mooremedia(op):
I really don't have a big problem with make up.But my little issues are,Why are most lady who wear make up are insecure.
You're beauty should not be defined by externality.
It's gotten so bad some ladies will never take pictures without make up and some will never dare leave thier houses.
Yes wear the make up, look good but don't let it define you. Build yourself to a level were you don't need peoples validation to enjoy your life.
Enough is enough ladies.

I personally I'm to some extent insecure when I'm out of cash.
but that shouldn't define me.
I still go about my daily business as though nothing is wrong.
The aim is for us to lay hold of our insecurities and not let it control us, rather we control it.
Define your life, don't let anything do.Not money, not beauty, not body shape.

Girls cannot hurt guys like me- we are always one step ahead.

Anyone who criticizes the superficiality of your gender has been heartbroken? Very funny. Only truly natural and intelligent girls earn my respect and my advances. MAKE-UP 'BEAUTY' IS NO BEAUTY.

I think I know where you're driving at. The only reason why I delved into this debate was that some comments were completely kicking against make-up. A moderate make-up is fine.

I have had friends whose posturing is that they hate women who applies make-up but each time we're out most of the women they end up admiring and make positive remarks about are those with make-ups. Hypocritical lots.

We all know how most guys loves to flaunt their babes among their peers, especially if she's charming. So if some body enhancement will make her more appealing to our friends won't that be something to boast about the more?.

"OK, whatever you say".

I am not here to defend my intelligence or seemingly unintelligent self or the female kind or make-up & beauty.

I am out. You win!

I agree that our insecurities shouldn't control us rather we control it. That's right on the money.

About you having some sort of insecurity when running out of cash is same for most men out there. Money boost a man's confidence in every aspect of his life including when approaching women. However, for women a good applied make-up boost their confidence too. Each gender has what applies to them in boosting their confidence and that we should understand, even if we mustn't respect individual's choices.
