Did women always plaster their faces so heavily in make-up?

I like a Smokey eye,it’s sexy AF. Most of the guys in here bitching are lucky that girls even try to look good for you...most of you have terrible facial hair and look dirty all the time.

diddo on the smokey eye. i wish i knew makeup well enough to do it myself, but im hopeless lol. so i just mire on the other women.

winged eyeliner is also a fav.

My ex fiance use to cake on makeup it was ridiculous. Her face looked blotchy and pale without it. Probably because she caked it on so much that it was rarely exposed to sunlight. She was a pain in the ass when we are about to go out too. Would take an hour just to get ready and shit.

People put instructional videos on YouTube that show how layers upon layers of make-up, all over the face, can completely change a face. It's not a touch up, but a full mask behind a mask behind a mask...

Looks great from afar but I find it to be quite jarring up close, especially as I get older.

Noticed this on a WWE YouTube clip, where the women are promoting themselves for the Rumble. Afar they are gorgeous but up close...probably better without the layers...





Me personally, I don't like too much make up on women. In a relationship, I tend to get used to "imperfections" anyway, and I'd rather be with a happy, supportive woman who I get along with and isn't a complete pain in the arse and a drain on my wallet than somebody who strives to look good and spends hours upon hours of time and hundreds of pounds on shit. Save the money for travel, good times and the future instead.

It enhances and screams sexy! And it’s great no matter the tone...from pale like Ashley Olsen, to dark like Mila Kunis (who has the best Smokey eye imo). My lady has no clue either, but when my daughter, who is a pro, does it for her, we are going out, getting drunk and making out lmao.

Although I think your talking about something quite different with makeup intended to create a specific non natural look which I'd agree can be very effective, otherwise I tend to preffer little or at least very subtle makeup on women.

I doubt many men would have a problem with say...

That pic doesn't really scream sexy to me.

My wife doesn't wear makeup at all, and still gives me boners. I fucking hate makeup on any woman under 50.

Ok, if you're old... fine. It helps women keep their dignity. But if you're young? It's almost mental illness IMO. Mass acceptance of face painting is a very strange thing indeed.
