So every one tells me that i still look really pretty without make-up. I won't lie i will go out in public without make-up and it doesn't bother me. I do usually wear make-up when I go outbut I'm not like some girls where they have to always have make-up on. Usually when I'm around guys, and its night time or something I'll take a shower and so I'll have no make-up on and my hair will be all gross haha (my hair is kind of wavy, but not cute when i leave it naturally) My best friend that i'm always with freaks out whenever a guy might have to see her without make-up and I don't see it as a big deal. Sometimes I feel less pretty around her because I won't have any make-up after a shower and she will be all done up still though.
For instance. Last weekend we were at a hotel and four of our guys friends stayed with us in the same room. I just had to take a shower because I always do at night so I don't feel gross. So i had no make-up on and my hair not done. I guess I didn't really care. But my friend got in the shower and just washed her body off and didn't get her hair wet and didn't take her make-up off.
I guess my question is, do guys really care if a girl doesn't ALWAYS have her make-up on? I asked one of my guy friends that night at the hotel if i looked different without make-up because people tell me i don't look that different and he said "no, but that's a good thing!" i don't want to be walking around sometimes without make-up with me thinking it's not a big deal and guys are thinking "oh gross, whats she doing"

I get what you mean about the feeling gross next to your friend thing. My flatmate won't even go into the kitchen without her hair and make up done if one of our male flatmates is in there whereas I won't bother with it unless I'm going somewhere. It's easy to feel unattractive next to someone who is constantly well groomed when you're not but be thankful that you're comfortable enough with your appearance to be able to not bother sometimes.
Most of the guys I know prefer girls who aren't high maintenance. Sure, they don't want their girlfriends to look scruffy all the time but they don't want to spend hours waiting for them to put their faces on either. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
WittyUsernameHere answered Friday March 25 2011, 9:27 pm: The real answer to your question is, if you don't like wearing make up all the time date guys who still think you're hot with it off.
My wife can go without makeup and I really don't care. I prefer less makeup over more, subtle highlighting rather than face painting and vivid eyelids that look like the carapace of some kind of African beetle.
Some guys do indeed like a more "done up" look.
But really, we kind of just have a switch. "On" "Off", "Hot" "Not", "Hard" "Flaccid", etc. The only real trick is figuring out where a particular guy's arbitrary line is and figuring out if you can stay on the "attractive" side of it without excessive efforts you wouldn't already put yourself through because of your own preferences for your appearance.

xokristabelle answered Friday March 25 2011, 12:40 pm: It depends on the guy, really...some guys prefer a girl who isn't makeup-obsessed or high-maintenance, but others want a girl who takes care of herself and keeps herself looking good.
If you're comfortable that way, good for you, and I'm sure you'll find a guy who's fine with that eventually. However, if you're going on a date or hanging out with a guy you like, it is nice to put a little effort in- do your hair and maybe some eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss. Doesn't have to be an hour of getting ready or anything. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
NinjaNeer answered Friday March 25 2011, 11:39 am: One of my guy friends went on a rant about women and false advertising. He said that it sucks when you ask out a really hot girl, and then once the hairstyle, makeup and padded bra come off, she's not nearly as spectacular looking and probably kind of high maintenance and mean to boot.
There's a difference between "guys like natural women" and "guys like women who aren't complete gargoyles when they're not wearing makeup". Most guys like the results that makeup gives. What they don't like is waking up next to a hideous, mascara-streaked beast with orange foundation marks all over her pillow. For them, it's nice to know that you can take a girl camping without her complaining that there was nowhere to plug in her straightener.
You wearing makeup less often is an advertisement that you are not high maintenance, but that you know how to doll yourself up when the time is right. That's a good thing. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
nikz answered Friday March 25 2011, 9:28 am: most guys like natural girls, if he sees that you're with all that make-up he'd wonder what you look like without it and probably get freaked out. So you say that you look nice without it then i guess that guys will always know the real you and thats way better, shows that you are comfortable with yourself and that's what they like [ nikz's advice column | Ask nikz A Question ]
Xui answered Friday March 25 2011, 3:04 am: All guys are different, They all like different things.
Some guys like clowns, Other guys like a plain face.
Looks shouldn't matter it isn't about what you look like and if it is, Then the guy is a shallow ass.
Beauty is on the inside I really believe too many woman are focused on their appearance to make a guy happy and so they feel they are more appealing to them. I honestly think a little makeup is okay but sometimes I find woman to be more attractive without make up. Women are so hung up on trying to look good that they always forget that looks aren't what matters. Only shallow guys care about looks but again not ever dude is a shallow asshole. Who cares if you don't wear makeup personally I like the natural look, When a woman is natural it makes me think they are less insecure about themselves. So to answer your question..No not every guy cares. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
