The pool boy thinks so.

I think most people look beautiful without makeup, it’s just whether or not we get used to seeing them (or ourselves) with it. I like makeup, it’s fun and I enjoy wearing it, but my daily face is usually bare or just some mascara/brow gel. I don’t mind going without any, but I was not blessed with anything that would be fair to call eyelashes… so mascara is one thing I tend to lean on.

Other than general lotion and, on the rare occasion, a very light tint on cheekbones to convey that I’m not yet dead, no make-up is worn. The SO is the one who suggested giving it up.

It ended up being a relief, once I got over the change in appearance. The benefits:
1. Less time needed to get ready for the day
2. Less time needed to clean it off before bed
3. No stains on bed and bath linens
4. The money savings
5. Environmental preservation (cosmetics contribute to a tremendous amount of environmental
waste, especially “nail care“)

I always find women more attractive without it. Young or old, does not matter. It’s hard to pay women such compliments these days.

Yes to all five questions.
I almost never wear make-up unless it’s a holiday or some outing(which is very infrequent).
When I do, It’s some cover up, a little blush, and every so often a touch of eye make-up.

I have been told I look younger and prettier without make-up. I have to agree. I’m lucky like that.

I never enjoyed putting on or wearing makeup, so I stopped wearing it about 35 years ago. Up & until I started wearing my face mask, I only wore lipstick. Then I saw a lady take off her mask & she had lipstick smeared everywhere. I don’t care whether or not I’m considered beautiful. IF you can’t love me just like I am, then you don’t really love me at all & I don’t need that hassle in my life!!!

Yes. I never wear makeup and I’ve been told I don’t need it.

All my life I only used very little eye shadow and lipstick in High school, then stopped altogether as I didn’t need it.
I admire the people from the Netherlands, they have active healthy life and no make up at all..the healthy natural look is striking them.

Yep. Lotion, mascara and lips are the max I do outside of work and events. None of those lately so my skin is loving quarantine.
I’ve been told the older you get the less make-up you should wear anyway.

Cheers girls x
@KNOWITALL That’s what I find, the wife wears the bear minimum & looks stunning.
Overly made up women look like drag acts on a bad night.
