Opinions on women who wear too much make-up

[diebitter]

I mean so they wouldn't look out of place in a clown troupe

I say they're all convinced they're beautiful but are at best plain. (and when one flirts with you, it is frankly scary).

Any different experiences on this?

[wayabvpar]

If they rub most of it off in/on my crotch, I can usually find it in me to forgive them. But 99% of the time it is a turnoff. At least until I get drunk /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Actually, most of the women I've known who've worn too muchc makeup, did it because they thought they were ugly.

I don't think make-up really helps that much. My friends tell me I'm crazy. I think there is a very very small difference in the way a girl looks when she wakes up and takes a shower compared to getting all fixed up. (as far as makeup goes, Hair is a whole different monster)

My sociology teacher used to always tell us that until women quit wearing makeup they won't be accepted as equals in business. FWIW

[trotski]

The one's who wear a ton of makeup during the day, are the one's who wake up looking like the Creature from the Black Lagoon usually.

[diebitter]

Hmmm, interesting, most of you say too much==ugly and they know it.

I've not encountered that many, so maybe my sample has been too small.

If they are wearing "too much" makeup they look bad by definition. Maybe you just should have said women who wear a lot of makeup. FWIW I hate it. Makeup seems to have the effect of making hot women look hotter (when used reasonably) and ugly women look uglier.

For good looking girls it doesnt make a difference. But for the average or ugly it really really helps them. At least that is my experience.

That's what I was trying to get at. Makeup can take a 4 to a 6, but can't take a 9 to a 10

I had a bad experience with one of these. I was really drunk and the make up was obvious even in my inebriated state. However, I didn't care - to my peril. When we got home I came to the horrific discovery that she was a he and that wasn't the world's largest [censored] in my hand.

They think they are ugly and/or they are very insecure. Many good-looking women do not think they are pretty.

I've always thought that make-up was to make you look naturally beautiful. Definitely not like you really know how to put on make-up well.

Some women seem to create a whole different world with their make-up, like they've just created an artwork that you should put up on the wall or something. You might even have some sort of weird admiration for it if you're a guy, or true awe if you're another woman looking at how it "should" be done or what "can" be done. The make up geniuses may be highly skilled, but the result doesn't necessarily look very beautiful at all, even if you start with a good looking woman. Just ... interesting. Maybe. But not in a particularly good way. You wouldn't want to kiss it. You might even get the creeps when "it" smiles at you. The make-up can sort of remove them as people from the world and turn them into sacred objects you may not particularly care to worship.

And unfortunately, there is always a tinge of the monster in anything that is removed from the world.

My opinion is that the subject is too leading and should be "Opinions on women who wear heavy make-up".

I think this is spot on. I've only known a few who f*cking LOVE to cake that crap on, and they were very pretty girls who somehow thought that they needed makeup to look beautiful.

Little did they know, less is more...

I'm usually reminded of this:

Thank you, Freidrich Nietzsche. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

This is nasty.

My GF doesn't even wear make-up and I love it.

Women typically have no clue as to what guys are interested in. The worst is a fake-baked, peroxide-headed, make-up caked fatty who thinks she's "a nice catch" or a "trophy for some lucky guy".

Sick.

The hottness/uglyness amplication theory is an interesting one, but it might not apply when its on thick

This then brings up, "how much is too much?"

So the answer to that is probably, "as much as it takes to make them as attractive as possible, and not a bit more"

[diebitter]

I shoulda added a subclause about goth chicks though.

They can get hotter and hotter the thicker the mascara/redder the lipstick/whiter the skin, IMHO. (as long as they're at least passable to start with - ugly ones that do this are really revolting, and look like bad trannys).

I think it's just knowing they're freaks is the truth behind that though, rather than how they look. The thickness of the makeup has a linear correlation to the level of freakiness, maybe?

Maybe a correlation with either the amount of insecurity or ignorance as well?

Some of those goth-type chicks though, the look is so much so and so striking that you have to do a double take.

I do think in some cases freakiness is definitely linked to insecurity. More freaky SOMETIMES shows very deep insecurity. Paradoxically it can also show a very profound sense of worth, self-security and self-understanding though, so freakiness indicates one of these extremes, and other factors (neediness/sense of independence?) fill out the picture.

Trying to consider ignorance as a factor as well just makes it too complicated to think about...

It doesnt have to indicate an extreme. Most likely, its just a combination of a bunch of things that on their own would not lead to it.

Agree, it doesn't have to. Take everything I've said as 'there are many instances of...' rather than 'it's always true that...'.

I'll try to be more clear in future when discussing things like this, so my bad.

[Moneyline]

Too much makeup = insecurity, and possible psychoness. I disagree with others who say it signals freakiness... I think high sex drives are motivated by other (probably biological) factors.
