If you'd ignore the girl on the left in favor of the one on the right, [b]you[/b] are part of the problem.

I don't even like girls that use makeup. In fact, I'm ANGRY with the girl on the right for deceit. I really dislike it when girls completely alter their appearance with makeup. All it takes to be beautiful is a smile
@rickfreeman15: If a majority of men didn't approach women who wear makeup and ignore those who don't, women wouldn't wear it.

@bijouxbroussard: but everything can't be blamed on the men. The women should also learn to be confident and proud of their natural faces. When I personally notice too much make up it makes me cringe. But make up is an 'enhancer'. So you can't exactly blame the guys. If there was something like makeup to make physically unfit, not facially less attractive men look better, you know that women would also approach them instead of the ones that go completely natural. There was a time before make up and men still loved their women.
@rickfreeman15: I look at the attention I've received and make comparisons. I've never worn a lot of makeup, having healthy skin is important to me. But on the few occasions when I've allowed my best friend (who was a professional make-up artist) to work on me, the amount of male attention [b]tripled[/b]. And it wasn't a question of the makeup causing me to project more confidence---I usually felt self-conscious and awkward. If I'd been a woman for whom such attention had been vital, there [i]would[/i] be incentive. You know how you respond and possibly what your male friends tell you, but it's not the same as being a woman and seeing the reactions.

@bijouxbroussard: Yes, I understand your point very well. And I agree with it. But like I said, makeup is supposed to enhance features. If there was some sort of make up to make me into a guy with a perfect six pack, perfect face and perfect everything, the attention I'd get would triple as well. So rather than blaming men, we as a society should spread it however we can- propaganda, anything- that we should embrace our natural bodies/looks.
