Then you're picking someone with it caked on.
What can i say... i'm easily fooled.

What grates me is that it's perfectly acceptable for men to not weak make-up, and unlike with ladies it's not pointed out how they have eyebags or skin pores.
I prefer little to no makeup. If anyone in here does wear makeup everyday, how long does it take you in the morning?
It's not against make-up in general, for me. The point of make-up to cover imperfections, accentuate features, etc, that's fine. It's the ultra excessive "glamorous" makeup that ends up detracting from appearances, that sucks.

It's a no win situation. We're expected to primp and look good then chided for doing it too much or "lying."
Huh,why is it amusing? There are lots of women who look absolutely amazing without makeup.I always found it amusing when girls who wore makeup had the audacity to shit on other people for their looks though. lol Take off half of that garbage on your face and those subtle body enhancements and let's see you keep talking that shit, chick...
I never felt the need to refer to it as 'guyliner.' I mean, I can be the bro-est of bros sometimes, but I am comfortable in the things I do and do not do. I had some people in Korea who called me a bitch or gay or whatever for doing it, but it just rolled off my back. There are some other things I do that are seen as effeminate by some I guess, like shaving my arms. "Guys aren't supposed to do that, what the fuck?!" is something I have heard over that one too. It's whatever, didn't really ever bother me.My wrong interpretation then; glad you don't feel being 'kept away from', so to say.
And I know that feel: if you're too lazy to put on clothes, you're definitely not getting bothered with applying make-up. Heck, even convincing yourself you need to take a shower at such a staying-at-home-day can be a task on itself, hehe.
Oh, this is a thing I am wondering how others experience it: do you refer to your make-up as eyeliner or 'guyliner'? Cause I've had enough people telling me like "you use it so it's guyliner then", while the last time I checked, I was using eyeliner for the sake of being eyeliner; not to gender my make-up. Nonetheless, 'they' do want to forcibly fit my act of using some sorts of make-up as within a gender-binary nonetheless. As if it were only 'acceptable' as long as it is considered 'masculine' make-up (i.e. 'guyliner') and not just make-up - "cause that's a women thing" (hence the popular opinion).
Wondering what other GAF-folks are thinking here.
I can't recall anybody I know ever criticizing someone for lack of make up though.It's a no win situation. We're expected to primp and look good then chided for doing it too much or "lying."
True. But these same girls who I have encountered talking all kinds of shit about other peoples looks whilst using obvious beauty enhancements wouldn't be caught dead without them. I think that speaks volumes of their true character. Thus, the amusement.Huh,why is it amusing? There are lots of women who look absolutely amazing without makeup.

My very first job out of college, I watched another women get reprimanded for not wearing make-up in the office, because it (supposedly) made her look unprofessional.
The expectations are ridiculous. For a lot of people make-up is considered basic hygiene for women. The same way you wouldn't leave your house in the morning without brushing your teeth? Don't leave without putting on your "face."

Haha. I've heard girls tell their girlfriends they would look "perfect" if only they got some feature on their face fixed. Mean as hell, but surprisingly normal in certain cultures.Happens plenty of time, my girlfriend often hear "You would look absolutely gorgeous with a tiny bit of makeup!" from hear friends.
I can see it happen in a work related environment, there's a bare minimum in place. Men have similar expectations though, covering up tattoo's being trimmed/clean-shave.My very first job out of college, I watched another women get reprimanded for not wearing make-up in the office, because it (supposedly) made her look unprofessional.

Can't imagine it being a common occurrence, though it might be a difference in culture thing.Happens plenty of time, my girlfriend often hear "You would look absolutely gorgeous with a tiny bit of makeup!" from hear friends.

The opinions in this thread go against a lot of what I seem to see irl.
but I also think you might get a different opinion overall if you ask women vs. men. There's a girl I know who admittedly wears a lot of makeup every day. I don't exactly go around asking everyone if they think she's attractive, but the few times it's come up, my girl friends think she's pretty and does her makeup well, my guy friends think she's "ok" and wears too much makeup.
I've also heard the explanation that some girls just like makeup, as in it's fun to apply, like creativity for your face. I think that whoever posted that Michelle Phan link had a pretty good example.
How do men look with "natural" make-up? If it makes such a big change on girls it's worth trying lol
Are you telling me you never judge anyone, wasn't aware we had a real life saint.People can wear make-up if they want. Making any sort of generalization about people who wear make-up is shitty.
Edit : To clarify, I don't care what anyone's tastes are, just don't go around judging other people for what they do or don't have on their face.

If you want to get pointed at and potentially beat up, then go for it.
Guys on tv and movies all wear make up.
My wife now doesn't even know how to put on makeup.
Yikes....how old is she?

How about something soft? Or something that shimmers?

Accentuate the natural beauty. Otherwise I look at you and think "that girl is wearing make up" opposed to "that girl is beautiful".
I rarely wear make-up. I only figured out how to put it on so it looks natural a couple of years ago and even then I can't be bothered. I hate getting mascara/eyeliner off. It always smudges at some point during the day or there will be some the morning after even though I think I got it all off with eye makeup remover.
I pretty much only consider SPF 15 face moisturizer and some lightly tinted lip balm to be essentials. I treat makeup as something for more formal occasions and pictures maybe. I also hate dark eyeshadow, black mascara and eyeliner. I think it has an awful, haggard, zombifying effect to the face/expression (at least for me). I also think foundation makes the skin look worse/noticably fake. I rarely think it makes a person's skin look better. I knew a girl who was a makeup artist/skin care consultant for her job and she wanted to do my makeup for me on a few occasions for fun/practice. Every time I came out caked and looked like a bad 80's glamour shot. I thought she was doing it bad on purpose but I guess some people seriously think that's what looks good. I'm not a fan of it really, but only my opinion.
Here is a mugshot of me on a normal day, zero prep for the photo other then fiddling with bangs. (My one eye is a little puffy, contacts were giving me a hard time.)

Well, you are certainly looking very good without it so probably you are confident about your normal look so much that your level of tolerance for make up is lower than for most. Maybe your friend just sucks at it or needs more practice. :P

Would be great if this 'effect' were more prevalent (whether with or without make-up).
Other than that: some people it suits to wear make-up and some it doesn't. If you feel pressured (not) to do make-up, it's a wrong thing anyway. /statingtheobvious
Also, emphasis on the 'not'. Cause that's also a social pressure.
