the premise of such a statement is salty to say the least

I don’t care if Tammy Fay Baker is bleeding mascara from her forehead ... women accentuate what they want.... its not the dairy aisle

Dex I am disappointed...

change that deceit shit

I wear makeup out in public as to why....it's too 'enhance' my face I guess you could say. I prefer getting glammed up but there have been many day outings where I scrunch my hair and just put on lotion. If I'm broken out I wear it so I don't throw up on my mirror

Traditionally, makeup is worn to make yourself more attractive to men. The reason why women started wearing lipstick and blush is to replicate the flushed look of ones' face after sex. As for foundation and mascara I dunno about those

OK, here is one thing that bugs the shit out of me. GET OVER BEING OUT OF THE HOUSE WITHOUT MAKEUP! My mother will literally let her children die if it means she has to leave to the hospital without putting makeup on first My mother looks totally fine without it, always has but she is a freak about that shit.

ZAUBERFLOTE said:

Of course I love her but I will beat her ass if she's puttin on makeup while the house is burning down! God, never let our house burn please

you know those firemen are gonna have to wait

applekisses said:

Could not have said it better, I wear make up almost everyday maybe once or twice a week I will go without it.

For me.
it depends on the girl.

Some women are born with a natural compexion that needs no enhancing.
Some are born with with a face that lends itself well to cosmetics.
And some are just born with a really big set of knockers which makes the whole idea of make-up kind of a moot point really.

veronikka said:

Me too. There used to be a time that I wouldn't even look out the window with out makeup on... but, I'm ok with leaving the house without it if I have to.

Oh,
& BTW,
I don't discriminate.
I'd do 'em all.
A piece of ass is still a piece of ass,
regardless of whether they need an "aesthetitic paper bag" to cover their mug or not.

That would just be shallow.

And I wasn't raised that way.

Illustrator said:

Well arent you the romantic type, Im sure the women will be running your way in no time

come on dex, there was a time when it was fashionable for men to wear powdered wigs and high heels. i know, i know... that follows your whole "sheep" thing


i probably put some mascara on for my birthday two months ago... before that it was probably new years. so what? if i do my makeup up for a nice night out you aren't going to tell me i look nice? we do lots of things that make us feel nice. make up is only one of them. big deal.

DexMSR said:

We humans have always liked to paint our faces.
I usually keep my make-up very natural. What I mostly want is to enhance what I like most about my face, my eyes, so they get even more intense. I see applying make-up as a work of art and it is so fascinating for me to see how you can change your look or enhance your best features. It's like painting a picture...

Well for me I have always have had a really bad acne problem, and over many years of trying high end products I found one (MAC) that will cover it up and stop continuous breakouts as long as I use my acne medication on a daily basis. For me when I break out it makes me feel really really really conscious about how I look, because nobody wants to look like a peperoni pizza on their face. Yes I acknowledge that I am insecure about it, but the make up when I am out in public makes me feel better about myself and well it makes me feel pretty too. So I guess for me it is a little bit of deceit and perception.

Dex, I bet I could wear full make up and you wouldnt even know I was wearing any..

There's archeology discoveries in Egypt including tombs with natural forms of makeup and cosmetics. (the Cairo Museum is one of the best in the world)
Women have been doing this for centuries. WHY? part of enhancing one's self for reproduction and attracting the best suiter. (we can be picky)
It's the scheme of things.
You want a natural woman?? There're out there.
Makeup, clothes, plastic surgeons, appearance in general is about 40% men and 60% us.

altho i disagree with makeup playing a part in deception most folks on this thread busied themselves defending the reasons why they do/don't wear makeup i find that very interesting

to answer the qustion: im not a big makeup wearer but i do think it enhances ones' features with no deceit involved


so call me dexy-i won't get any makeup on ur pillowcases

A woman wearing make-up is like a man with money... take from that what you will.

I wear makeup and I look fly.....so

Deception



Luckily she is still a beautiful person.

girl66 said:

that's not deception. That's just a bad pic. I've heard how naturally beautiful she is.

There's a difference in a bad pic and looking bad without makeup.

You can tell she's still cute.

girl66 said:

She looks exactly the same, in the sense that all her features are the same. In the makeup pic, her eyes just grab your attention because they are rimmed in dark makeup.

I still fail to see how makeup is deception.

Rhondab said:

Ive seen other pics of her without makeup and she looks way better than that

I don't wear makeup, but I'm suspicious of a guy who likes women without makeup. I had a friend in college who would go on about the virtues of women without makeup, but he would go out with the most beautiful women on campus with the most perfect angelic faces.


That is, I'm sure you appreciate your beauty and it's not all "inner beauty" you're looking for either. Just the fact that you claim makeup might be deception, perhaps indicates that you like TRULY beautiful women who don't NEED makeup. It just seems to be another double standard that women are subject to.

DexMSR said:

well...by this post it seems to me that you have never been TRULY in love with a woman....

makeup is deception....??!!!

you need to look into your womans eyes (mascara or no mascara) see her soul, her heart, her passion, her love 4 life, her adventure, her dreams, her ambitions, her strength, her insecurities, her vulnerabilities, her past, her ideas of the future, her family, your children in her eyes, her gentleness, her kindness....

not what she does or doesn't have on her face!!

I think make up is an art and I love it. It is like creating a painting on your face and you can be any kind of woman you wish to be in it. Many different looks with it.

At work I wear alot of make up and enjoy the process of creating whatever look I want. Full on fantasy/stage make up.

When I am at a library or out in my daily life just give me some mascara and I'm good to go.

i dont think make up is deceit

but push up bras and them chicken fillet thingies, now thats another matter

DexMSR said:

so you're saying that you don't date women who wear make-up?

yeah right brotha
