Women and makeup (split from "Ban on skinny models" thread)

I can dig the wild n costume-ish make up; and I can dig the more natural looking stuff. It's all for show anyways, right?

Although, I'm not against makeup; I like natural, makeup-less faces. My gf, for a while, didn't wear make up on our dates because she thought I disliked it; which wasn't true.

I had to explain that I appreciate her natural beauty, but if she fancies make-up, then I'm totally cool with it. Next time we went out, she wore it and wow... She wore very subtle, natural tones, and it really looked good.

So ya, make-up (or face paint, as I affectionately call it) can look good; its colorful, and to me it celebrates the natural beauty of a woman; just like jewelry, and fancy clothes. None of that stuff works if you don't feel beautiful on the inside anyway (this is true for guys too).

I am along the line of if you need it then go for it. And then only to flatter the features. I was never one who liked the applying with the trowel method. Also ones makeup has to take in the consideration of these things.
1. who is going to get close to you.
2. what clothes are you wearing.

You want to be considerate of others and also make the face fit the clothes and the venue.
