Men and Makeup

She looks gorgeous!

I'm writing today as a rant & response to a blog post by http://addictedtoallthingspretty.com/ where a guy asked her 

"How do I tell my girlfriend that she wears too much makeup?" 

My thoughts on the subject are simple. I don't think men should concern themselves with such matters, to me that is overstepping your boundaries as a man. What's more important than the woman wearing makeup is the woman having healthy skin. If you are to care about anything, that should be of concern not that she is putting on lipstick or wearing rouge. Of course, if she is a newbie to makeup and is looking more clownish and less beaute than perhaps you can suggest she watch some of my favorite makeup guru's on Youtube like NiniLuvsmakeup, Makeupadikt, DeziredBeauty or XXTheIslandBeautyXX. 

I personally wear a full face, meaning foundation, mascara, blush and some type of lipgloss, balm or stick just about everyday. There are days like today where I will just dab on a bit of concealer and go about my day as so called 'natural'. I hardly ever walk out the house without something on, at least some type of tinted moisturizer because to me that is just apart of me being the woman I am. I like to look made up. I've come to love eyelashes and bold lipsticks over the past year as well. I often practice and research on youtube various eyeshadow combinations and makeup looks on the weekend. This is definitely my favorite artistic muse. I look at makeup like art and I enjoy it tremendously ;0)

Now here is Kim K with a full face of makeup on the left and a bare or natural face on the right. Which picture do you find is most appealing to men? I've heard both viewpoints where some men like the bare and natural beauty look on their women and other's like their woman to look doll faced and done up.

If you wear makeup often and are in a relationship what are the opinions of the man in your life? 

Does he like your makeup look or does he wish you wore less and went bare faced more often? My man prefers my face to be bare, he thinks I'm more beautiful without it but I personally love makeup so he can enjoy my natural beauty while we are in the confines of the home ;0) Nah I will indulge him and wear no makeup more often o-0 booooooooooo lol





I've heard it all from men saying makeup gets all over their clothes when kissing a woman, it gets on the covers (who is going to bed with all that on their face?) to them just preferring a more natural beauty on their arm. I don't get when men say they prefer natural beauty yet the woman on their arm has a head FULL of fake hair? Where is the logic in that? Anyway as a woman who wears makeup, I wouldn't ever suggest you telling your woman that you don't like it when she wears xyz, what you should do is compliment her and tell her how beautiful she looks without it. She is more likely to appease you and go natural more often when hearing compliments as opposed to criticism based off of your personal preferences.





Sometimes I am baffled by all that women 'have' to do in order to appease their men. What are men doing physically for women to groom themselves for our visual satisfaction? I personally prefer that each person in the relationship allow the other party to comfortably express themselves as they see fit. This way each person exudes their utmost confidence and can equally love and embrace their partner for being themselves. = Everyone being a happy camper ;0)

What are your thoughts on the matter?
