Shes not trying to sell herself to anyone, and I like it that way.
Think of it like an arms race. The other ladies are doing it, so they have to do it too, just to keep up.
Though my wife is a beautician, she does not wear make-up and looks great.
Because men talk bad about other men that wear it. ;-)
Because, without it I hear people saying “you look about 15,” and that’s a recent upgrade from “you look around 12.”
Besides that, I’m a blonde; light brows and lashes need a little help.
A fair question.
I love makeup. I enjoy shopping for it, applying it, and wearing it. That doesn’t mean I load it on with a trowel; I know how to apply it properly.
It’s fun to sit down in front of the mirror and put it on...it’s kind of starting out with a blank canvas and making things come to life.
No matter how good a woman looks, makeup serves to conceal flaws-—and every female has them-—and to accent her good features.
If it doesn’t sag, bag, wrinkle or bulge, highlight it!
I would not think any worse if she wore absolutely NO makeup.
I'm just glad she never got any tattoos.
Putting on makeup is your smile to the world. I don’t wear a lot of makeup but just enough to give me some color and even out the skin tone. I’m not a knockout but I can show the world that I want them to see the best of me.
Because they are trying to look like Shepard Smith?
They always have, and nothing has ever been able to make them stop.
It is one of those female things.
When I pointed out to them that they were wearing sleeveless blouses, and that they weren't wearing foundation over their arms and other exposed skin, they didn't have an answer :)

HOW TO SATISFY A MAN EVERY TIME
Show up naked.
I don’t wear any, never have. Only recently got my ears pierced, on my 50th birthday. Too many skin problems when younger and makeup just made it worse.
It’s to simply look good to other people. Women’s self-esteem is fragile. I’ve had girlfriends who took less than 10 minutes to make-up, then I’ve had “those” that take me an hour to wait for them.
Actually I’m more curious why women have handbags and carry stuff in them. As a guy, all I carry are in my pants: wallet, phone and keys.
In my case, color! With blonde hair, beigeish skin, and beige eyelashes, I need something to brighten up. I use only natural colors but a little lip color is needed and a little brightness on the cheeks (just a tad). And mascara is a must with no color in my eyelashes. TMI?? :)
Women with darker hair color have darker eyelashes so they actually have some color on their face.
Donning flame suit, retreating to the man cave for the rest of the day.
I don’t. It gives me a severe headache, doesn’t matter whether it says “hypo-allergenic” or sensitive skin or whatever. Every brand is the same. After about 30 minutes, I have a blinding headache. So, I stopped. Very liberating.
If I felt I had a choice, I wouldn’t wear make-up.
But as a single woman, I’ve seen it happen repeatedly — when a woman not wearing make-up stands next to a woman in make-up, all other things being equal, the guys will generally flock to the one in the make-up because, let’s face it, the basic point of make-up is (1) to hide flaws and (2) to create an illusion of greater beauty than actually exists and well, it works.
