Makeup?

So this is a question for the ladies... Why go through the makeup routine? I have never seen a woman (who took care of her skin/self), that didn't look better, more natural, more... oh I don't know, maybe the word is "herself" without it, than with it. With all the foundtions, mascara, eye shadow, and on and on. Sure, maybe a light touch of lipstick, or a little of this or that; but why do some women slather on all thae makeup? This question came to mind when I read something the other day about a mother trying to find less expensive makeup for her daughter who was ahving a girls makeup party.

Makeup can make any woman look better. You just have to do it right.

@SW-User Better or different? I get wanting to feel better about oneself, but to change how one looks... I don't know, I find it less attractive.

@frequentlyme Lol. It’s called enhancing one’s looks. Lots of men can’t even tell that a woman is wearing makeup if she went for the natural look ( no makeup makeup). Name one famous woman that you think is hot.

@SW-User I don't actually think of it in terms of hot or not. I think of it in terms of self or not... I find a woman much more... alluring maybe? If they go natural, or mostly so. Like Kiera Knightly without makeup, or just about anyone.

@frequentlyme Eh. Even the so called “makeup-free” celebs wear makeup including Kiera Knightly. Anyway that’s your taste. I know for sure that I look and feel much better with makeup.

@SW-User Which is exactly what I was asking... why? I appreciate all the varied answers. Yours included.

@frequentlyme Because it’s true? It makes one go from plain and average to good looking. I can feel it and see it. Maybe when I’m like 60 I won’t care.
