^^Seriously, it takes more product for me to go "au naturel" than it does to go bright and fun.

Yeah....and I don't get why some of them don't like make up because it's unnatural, yet they like breast implants, shaved legs, piercings, bleached teeth, straightened hair, fake tans, etc. Those things are also unnatural.

For real.
When a guy sees a chick on the street with "no makeup" she actually has on foundation, concealer, powder, blush, mascara, eyeshadow, bronzer, and highlighter.
Probably when they see a girl who actually has no makeup on, they're like 'yuck' lol.

Honestly, most guys won't like an uber-sexed look on their girlfriends' makeup because they don't like other guys checking their girlfriends out.
However, like someone mentioned in an earlier post, they do look the sexy smokey-eye that you see in magazines, shows, etc.
When they're like "Less is more" and "natural", not only they don't have a clue of what they're talking about, they're being a bit hypocritical.
Basically this is what most of my guy friends admited, anyway.

Thank you. I love you.
thats what I wanted to say but I was afraid that from a girl who sports the smokey eye glossy lip lots of hair (on my head!!!!!) look 24/7, that would sound a bit bitchy.

My boyfriend hates any make-up of any kind on me. It's kinda wear cuz even if I just wear powder he knows lol. he HATES nething on my lips and wont kiss me if I have nething lol.
The only look he actually likes ... which is REALLY odd ... is when I do a complete BLACK (and I mean BLACK) smokey eye look at night. I guess because it's a very common look in the Middle East (they wear a complete black smokey eye in the day time haha) that he's used to it.

I hope I don't sound like a man basher but the truth is they don't really know what they are talking about. Men tend to equate colour = lots of makeup. They say they like the "natural" look because they can't tell how much make up is actually there due to the neutral shades.

I think if you are confident and feel sexy in your makeup, whatever the style, guys will find you attractive. Choose what you like!

Yeah, if I were to go natural I might as well go all the way because I already have a full face on (foundation, concealer,blush...).
And what is it with men contradicting themselves as well? I believe someone mentioned that earlier...My husband saw a girl tonight at wal-mart wearing shorts so short you could see her OTHER cheeks (she had the body for it though
) and he swore up and down that it was so gross because she was too skinny. Well not to get off topic but I've seen some of those "nudey" pictures he thinks he hides in his PDA and some of those girls are super SUPER skinny. He also swears he hates girls that smoke but several of those girls are smoking...
Men...They're freaking NUTS!

This is my SO 100% too. He wont kiss me with lip stuff on but sometimes I trick him... and everytime I ask him what I should wear on my eyes to go 'out' he instantly says "black!" - I don't even bother asking anymore and just put on whatever I please. He actually does like me natural (or so he says) but admits I look better when I do the "makeup-natural" but doesn't think it's worth the effort because the change is minimal.
My guy friends want a girl that looks as good as she can without them having to know how much she worked for it. (aka naturally enhanced)

I disagree. I think that heavy make up can look really sexy if applied well. The make up that screams ME ME ME is usually just applied really badly and with wrong colours. I think that the natural look is nice and suits some people, but not for me. I like to play with colour. The worst make up BY FAR is when goth girls try to wear their black liner and it just looks caked on with no technique. I think some of them can look really nice if they just put a bit more time into it. But just a pasty face with drawn on thick liner looks awful! My favorite heavy make up is worn by people like Gwen S (when she used to die her hair green and wear jewels it was so pretty!) And peole like Christina Ag. - sometimes she wears really heavy make up and it looks amazing (think in the lady marmalade video)
In summery, I don't think that you can 'rule out' heavy or natural make up. Both looks can be worn with such grace that it looks uber sexy. It's just when people cake it on with no technique that it looks gross. My favorite make up is 1940's pin up style. I also really like to see make up art on people. The natural look is pretty too.
PS: My boyfriend loves it when I wear heavy blue/green make up with black liner. He loves people who wear bright colours that are individual and agrees with me that no make up is SO boring!! However he doesn't like lipgloss. Which sux lol. I think that the natural look is over rated. Some people can carry it off, but most people don't have perfect skin so as natural as it looks, a lot of work probably goes into it!

They just want to keep us happy. To be honest I would rather them be honest. I think it's also important to remember that most of that stuff is a five minite fix that they really don't put that much thought into. The super skinny look is so disgusting i don't know why it is such a fixture in society.
I'm not saying I wouldn't like to have a jessica alba flat stomich and thighs that don't rub together a bit, but I'm a size 12 and happy with that. Ideally a ten would be nice, but I'm not going to spend ages worrying. You've got to make the most of what you are given!

definitely natural-looking makeup. flawless complexion, light blush, mascara, lipgloss...maybe eyeliner, depends. less is more, especially during the day time. a girl i know wears silver eyeshadow all the way up to her brow-bone, all the time. it looks....bad. and my roommate tends to overdo it on the blush and make her look...clownish. ick.

I think the alleged preference for no makeup is two fold.
One, they want you to know they like the way you look.
(sweet.)
Other... they want to know that they won't be waking up the next morning to one of those scary assed "before" shots from Merle Norman. Hence why they usually like seeing you without makeup before they seal the deal.
(not so sweet.)
