I've just re-read the question; "Do you really like make-up on women or has the female sex been suckered in to frittering away their money on a product they don't need and men don't like?" Cosmetics are a multibillion pound industry and I was questioning the necessity of the product. Why do you find the question silly? |

Charles Revson, founder of Revlon always said he did not sell cosmetics -- he sold "hope."
a magic effect may have more in common with make-up than we would like to admit... both pretend at the impossible

I don't think most women wear make-up to snare a man. Women don't get dolled up for us, they do it for each other. Competition. Not for men, just to be better than other women.
As long as they look better than the other &^*(*es at the office, club, whatever, they win.

What do you think he was referring to with the word 'hope'?

That this hypothetical 'she' "hopes" them other !@#$%es die so she can quit spending an hour spackling and painting every morning?

The proper way to put on make-up is to make it look as if you are not wearing make-up.
That is except for the eyes. That is decoration, because they are the window to the soul. But foundation, blush, and even lipstick should be put on to even out everything, not to stand out. A good make-up job looks normal. Those you say look good without make-up, I would bet they are really wearing make-up and you just can't tell. Randi |

Is it just me or does any one else find many of the posts in this thread to be incredibly sexist?
Good thoughts, Bob |

That's sort of the nature of the thread.
I guess we could do one about mustaches or beards or hairy chests or something and see where that takes us. The beauty industry thrives on sexism. If we're talking about the beauty industry, then some things will be said which can be construed as sexist. It's the nature of the beast.

There are a few that simply are objectifying women.

Randi, I do agree with you in regards the truly invisible make-up application.
I think the point I was trying to make is that in the great majority of times 'concealing' make up is not invisible, it is glaringly obvious. Personally, I find it very unattractive and I was questioning the reasons for its application as well as seeing if I was the only one who felt this way. |

Actually, when I wear make-up I feel like I'm in drag and in fact I am. It is no more natural for a woman to wear make-up than a man. That said, I wear make-up to look more professional. Even if make-up doesn't make me look younger or more beautiful it does me look less mousy and more visible. Believe me you can tell the difference in the way you are treated as a person with and with-out make-up (probably more true of you men LOL).
I have a Female Magician friend that really does the make-up thing (plus perfume and beautiful clothes). This friend is very attractive but not a young hottie (she is slightly older). I truly believe men respond to the outfit. My friend is great company and very outgoing but she gets more attention than one might think that would garner alone. I think men like a clear declaration that women are thinking about themselves in that way. Maybe not all men respond to her but young, old, tall short,...etc men respond to her. It's like going to lunch with a force of nature. -Mary Mowder |
