I agree with Jemma! Freckles are wonderful and enhance and distinguish and only add to someone's beauty/attractiveness. I don't care for them covered up with foundation. Hiding a feature that should be celebrated!

MelindaBálint 9 years ago

did you think about how hypocritical is to tell women in the first place, that they can do whatever they want to do with their bodies and then judge them, tell them what they shouldn't do. it is just not how things work. it is their body, our body, and we decide for ourselves. we shouldn't let others to tell us what we can or cannot do with our bodies. maybe you think she is prettier without makeup, but she may not see the same as you do when she looks in the mirror. remember that.

Everyone who thinks they're being kind by telling someone they look better without makeup: it's like if one of these ladies painted you a picture, and you turned around and said, "Oh, I wish you hadn't done that. Your poems are better." People work hard on makeup! Appreciate it!

I'd be feeling this super much, IF women did not feel like they couldn''t leave the house without makeup, IF women weren't treated as sexual objects and were blamed for it for their looks, and IF the cosmetic industry didn't profit from promoting poor self-esteem in women. But, you know. Sure, wear whatever you want, as long as you're not treating women choosing to NOT wear make-up with any less respect and support. But the cosmetic industry is just f*****g horrible in several ways, and you are supporting them by buying and promoting their s**t, so just... be aware of that, I guess.

3points

MarianneAksnes 9 years ago

I think it's worth talking about the fact that a lot of women don't feel valued or acceptable without makeup and won't leave the house before putting it on. That's a bad thing. Also, women being construed and treated as sexual objects. Also bad thing. And the make-up industry earns big money promoting poor self-esteem in women. Also a bad thing. I don't see how this does anything to stop any of that. Of course there's nothing wrong with wearing make-up if you want to and yes it is an art form, but I feel like this is another issue women are told to needlessly fight about while the cosmetic industry - who WANTS you to feel bad about how you look without make-up - laughs all the way to the bank.

To everyone who thinks they're being kind when they tell someone they look better without makeup: You're missing the point! That's like if one of these ladies painted you a picture, and you turned around and say, "Oh, I wish you hadn't done that. Your poems are so much nicer." People work hard on makeup, and spend a ridiculous amount of money! Girls don't always wear makeup bc they're insecure with their natural faces! It's a hobby, and a work of art that's constantly being dismissed as 'petty girl stuff', when in reality it's incredibly intricate and difficult!

CrackrJax 9 years ago

Oh goodness ... love them for who they are. Just because you don't like makeup, doesn't mean they shouldn't. They are showing here that they love both sides of the spectrum! (Girls who don't love their face without makeup would not be showing it here!!) Some of you could take a lesson from loving all ways of existing and being, not just your own ...

I think make-up is cool - it's like clothes - up to the person whether they want to wear it or not. Sometimes, like wearing a suit & having neatly styled hair, a little make-up is considered professional. Sometimes (stage make-up specifically) it is necessary & part of the job. Myself, I hardly ever wear makeup because I'm LAZY & can get away with it. But I danced professionally (beledi) so had to use it for performances. Shaming people for what they decide to wear is just ignorant.

Love 8 years ago

I am so happy that I have let go of the constraints of youth. Now, without have to wear makeup and letting my beautiful gray hair fly in the wind, I am truly free. I also made a vow to my Lord and Savior that I will never get cosmetic surgery as just one way of proving my faith. Set yourselves free and accept Jesus as your savior. Stop being so incredibly consumed with yourselves.

My philosophy about make-up is that one should never apply so much of it that people wont recognise you without it. I am just as comfortable with or without it. Make-up is exactly as it says - Make Up.

Make-up is just another form of expression. And like most choices, are for the woman herself to make and no on else to judge.

A few observations spring to mind. Firstly, most of the women depicted above seem less attractive WITH makeup then without. Secondly, in case of a few females who are much less attractive than the average, the presence of makeup or lack thereof, appears to have no effect whatsoever on their overall appeal. Furthermore, the observed attempt on the part of several subjects to conceal some visible external signs of an ongoing dermatological disorder might have an additional consequence of postponing or altogether evading a proper medical treatment, thus producing undesirable long-term effects.Taking all of the above into consideration, it remains highly doubtful weather wearing makeup does indeed serve the seemingly underlying purpose of increasing the overall perceived attractiveness of a female in the eyes of prospective male partners. It might however, have some other positive outcomes, such as increasing (falsely) the subject's perception of her attractiveness and thus her self-esteem

0points

GeorgeTreestrout 9 years ago

... as well as self-confidence, which in turn results in her being regarded as more successful, and consequently more attractive by her environment. At this point, a completely different, even though highly counter-intuitive, purpose of female makeup appears to be clear: it is not so much a direct increase in attractiveness as perceived by males, as by other (rival) females. In other words, the more attractive (and thus competitive) a female is considered by her rivals, the more her self-confidence (and prowess) is reinforced, the more successful and hence attractive she appears. This essentially leads to a female being able to win more males without actually appearing any prettier, and thus defying the apparent purpose of makeup as a beauty augmentation tool. Therefore, wearing makeup seems to be indeed the winning strategy in the population-evolution game. Of course, this is altogether a purely academic discourse, and merely a speculation based on my point of view as a male.

This was pretty neat! For the record, I think it's actually just a little shocking to see how little makeup changes their face! It does change it, don't get me wrong, but it's not all that different. You still see the same face. It's used to enhance naturally beautiful features. And all these girls are so pretty with and without it. I love makeup, because it's fun! :)

I think they all look Amazing ! Let the Girls do their thing. I don't wear any make up anymore but lip stick and gloss. I had my days in the sun. It's fun to put on make up. But the irony is, the girls are so young and beautiful, that that is the One time in their life they don't Have to wear make up. And look so much better with out it on. Make up is used to cover "Flaws". I see no flaws here.

im ok with wearing make up every now and then, but i don't need makeup to be beautiful nor any of these girls, you are beautiful make up should be wear to have fun, not to cover ourselves and try to make something we are not.

90% wear false eyelashes. I think makeup is really great but don't go too far to add things you don't have. It's suppose to enhance your features, not create ones, and in my opinion these beautiful ladies put on really heavy makeup there (not everyday styles, obviously.). Of course they look better all natural, it's because they are exaggerating the looks on the other side. Only a few ladies are wearing a full face of makeup and heavy eye smokeys/false lashes every day.. That's too much

-1point

LaviniaGeorgescu 9 years ago

In my opinion, the whole point of this post and the whole body acceptance trend is that there is no "too much". Who decides what is too much and what isn't or what people should or shouldn't do? I'm not saying you don't have a right to think that fake eyelashes are too much. Just saying :D Makeup can be an art, in which case you go all out and create whatever you want.

The girl in the video contradicts herself. When she is putting make up on herself its about "i don't have eyebrows", "double chin, no point of the cheek" etc. Its like drawing on your eyes, lips, cheek, skin.. yes, it's fun to see yourself transform into a more perfect form. But is that really you?

-3points

TashaTilbrook 9 years ago

I think it's a bit much. Since I became pregnant I've given up wearing make up as my skin has gone very sensitive, and tbh I don't miss it. It might take more of this to stop girls feeling like make up is a must. I can see that it has a practical use if you have uneven skin tone, scarring etc but otherwise it's a waste of money (I wouldn't have imagined myself saying THAT 7 months ago!)

DebraBrooksKapellakis 9 years ago

All but one looked better without makep. That is because her skin was mixed shades naturally. In my opinion she still wore too much eye makeup. In the end if wearing makeup makes these ladies feel better then they should go for it. They are hurting , no one.
