Ancient Egyptians used it. In the Bible, in the book of Esther women were using it to appeal to the king.
It's been around a long time.
Men also used it.. dont know whether to appeal to the king right enough.. and through history men have wore makeup... it makes us feel good. if we have imperfections.. I like mascara as it opens up my eyes and makes me look more awake and a bit younger.. allthough years ago I hid behind makeup big time.. as didnt like how I appeared naturally to others it gave me confidence..
Who would have thought that people question or put so much thought into something like wearing makeup. I just wear it as part of my daily routine and do not think about what men think or why I wear it. It is part of my daily morning activities like brushing teeth and showering. I don't give it a second thought.
My time when I was unprepared was when I got up late one weekend morning, threw on a wrinkled tee shirt, put my slept on hair up, had cortisone ointment slathered all over my face for an eczema breakout. Went to the track and ran. I am not running to look good for people. Anyhow this team of Adonis's rode up on their bikes (obviously a triathlon group) to do some sprint and interval training on the track. I cringed in humiliation. I know they did not notice me or care. I moved to the outside lane of the track. But it was humiliating being in the presence of these men when I was at my utmost slovenly grossest worst. That is why it is always a favor to yourself to be cleaned up and decently groomed. Makeup to me is just part of grooming.
I'm male, but I was having a conversation about this with others and the answers they gave weren't satisfactory.
On some occasions a get how it could help add blush to skin and cover a bruise or whatever, but beyond that (in my humble opinion) it turns into a clown show.
Every women I met has been more attractive to guys I know without lipstick or heavy eye shadow or whatever else there is.
I'm not saying everyone is a natural beauty, and brushing hair or making yourself clean is good, but at some level masking your face with dyes and paint becomes off putting.
I knew someone who was really cute, but when she dressed up and made herself up It became distasteful.
I get doing it if your in a theater play or something but most guys I speak to share my opinion that lipstick and whatnot detracts from a women's overall aesthetic.
When was she ordained to speak for the rest of us?
