Makeup or no makeup – if that is a dilemma you face every time, you need to stop thinking. We are here to clear up just the confusion.
Wearing makeup is our birth right. Most of us use it with a vengeance! Layering up products on the face, painting on the colours, putting on the falsies and so much more. When the aim is to please our special someone, no holds barred is the way tend to go.
There is one fact that most of us forget however. Whether it is younger or an older man, they all prefer their women without too much makeup. Wearing basics is fine, as long as it keeps you looking natural and un-made. It is piling on the products and painting of face that guys don’t really like.
This phenomenon is not just restricted to the regular everyday man. Our heroes from tinsel town too have repeatedly mentioned that they like their real life women better without makeup.
One such celeb is the young nawaab and Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, who has repeatedly stated his love of Kareena in her most natural look. As Kareena too has confessed, Saif likes her the most in loose fitting salwarkameezes and in a no makeup look.
Moving on to the Hollywood counterparts, Russell Brand likes his wife Katy Perry so much without makeup that he put up a barefaced picture of the latter on a social networking site. The young singer, however, was not very pleased, and the image was pulled down within a few hours.
An online poll came up with the following numbers about men’s reaction to their women wearing makeup:
The results surely go against the general opinion that men mostly prefer their women to wear their ‘real’ face. This could also be an indication that men do have changing tastes when it comes to women and makeup. It is up to us to understand when we absolutely need to wear those colours and when we can go all natural.
Think about your own male friends and remember how many times they told you that you looked better without all that makeup. Of course wearing makeup does bring in a change during special occasions. But for an everyday look, there is nothing like having a fresh, youthful and natural look that shows off your clean and healthy skin. Going for a natural no-makeup makeup look could be another option if you don’t want the bare face look.
Coming back to your partner, next time he tells you to use less makeup, see if the remark comes around the time you are shopping for some new makeup. This will give you an idea of whether he actually means it or whether he wants you to buy less makeup.
Using products is a great way to enhance your features, but it should not be used to mask the real you.It is a fact that using too many products on the skin leads to various skin problems.Try and wear makeup only when required.
For an everyday look, go natural, or stick to bare basics like a kajal and lip tint.You’d be surprised at how lovely your skin will start to look as you decrease the amount of product you use.This will also help you get a noticeably glamorous look when you do wear makeup, for a special occasion.
Showing off your naked face can be quite a challenge, if you are used to wearing makeup all the time.Love yourself for the way you are.Be confident, understand your own style, and start stepping out from behind the makeup as much as you can.
We cannot do without makeup, and we shouldn’t! The trick is to keep our skin healthy and product free most of the time, and limit makeup to only those special events. You will be surprised at how many compliments your natural look can get you!
