I've noticed that a lot of men don't know what "natural" even looks like.
They'll see a woman with foundation, concealer, highlighter, setting, and mascara on and be like "Wow natural beauty. No makeup."
A lot goes into makeup that isn't just lipstick & eyeliner.
The real takeaway is that whoever says something like that just doesn't want to be able to see that makeup was applied, not that none was used. Most likely not even knowing that themselves because of their ignorance.
Why the fuck would a woman have to mask herself with makeup, and men not? Is it acceptable for men to not look "perfect", and for women not? This is complete bullshit. Luckily, my wife doesn't wear any makeup, and has thus much healthier skin than all the other people who wear makeup, and she is beautiful just like that.
I know for sure whether my partner has put anything like that on, given that I would see it happen. Still much prefer natural without anything at all. I guess that might include the skincare routine (washing, moisturizing) and taking care of their own health, but I think that's a separate thing.
Skincare ≠ makeup, so you're correct in that they are very much separate things.
I got asked a few times if I am wearing makeup besides the obvious lipstick and mascara. All by women though. I take it as a compliment that I am able to get a good "natural" look, but it is not just men.
Maybe modest is a better word
Reject modernity, return to Denisovan
Is this the new gonewild? Because I'm up for posting a marked territory tour...
Gone wild 💀 you funny mfer
Everybody should try going full natural at home sometimes. Really liberating.
When I was male presenting and ~21 a girl asked me to come spend time with her, and I rejected her and was asked why. I told her that her makeup was too much, and probably did use the word "natural" - she literally went to the restroom and tuned down her makeup. She came back looking gorgeous. Her makeup was amazingly flattering. And I rejected her again because I wasn't in the mood and I left.
Since then, I've respected the effort put in, even when makeup is unflattering it can tell a story about a girl. And that in itself can be ignored or go unmentioned, when the girl is otherwise interesting.
Pants aren't natty.
My funny valentine!
Seems like it's a constant back and forth between "women don't wear makeup or do all these beauty routine things for men" and "women are forced to wear makeup or else they're not pretty enough because of men's standards"
The brat in me loves that lol
ABSOLUTELY that natural!
