The Deception of Makeup - Trannies excluded, they need all the help they can get

[Cthulu]

I wear make-up to get hot trannies. It makes me look younger. It also helps disguise me when I rape and murder them.

Is it deceptive? I don't think so, no matter how heavy the makeup is a woman is not "gaining a new face". And if she does look significantly different, she has makeup so thicc it's visible and blatant - so easy to avoid if you are not into it.
It's also easy to wipe out, just some soap and water if you feel you can't date a girl without knowing what she looks like without makeup - but you are already used to looking at girls wearing it, so don't get scared.

Women compete all the time with each other, women who don't wear makeup have to compete against those who do. The reason why despite all the talk about "accepting who you are" and being against bodyshaming you see women getting rather aggressive over makeup is because: it's BULLSHIT.
It's pure diarrhea said for asspats and likes, and to make their ugly friends feel better - and nothing more.

And Haggening pissed girls off because it wasn't their decision to show themselves without makeup, easy. Might not warrant this overreaction, but what did you expect.

I agree. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stalked a fine-ass female, then peeped in her bedroom window at night, only to find that her eyelids aren’t naturally blue and her lips aren’t producing natural glitter. It’s like, why even bother?

 

[Discourteous Discourse]

nearly everytime, one of the trending videos is a woman/man plastering herself/himself with makeup. The change between the before and after shots is drastic and disturbing I find

I don't see how this is surprising. When someone (especially a beauty guru) is layering on foundation, concealer, eye shadow, etc they're not going to look bare-skinned and natural. You do realize that those YouTubers normally don't leave the house looking like that, right? They often wash it off as soon as they're done filming. Wearing that much makeup sucks. It's not comfortable, and long-term wear will result in skin problems. Many people are entertained by watching someone else apply a mountain of makeup because they themselves aren't going to put the effort into it, let alone spend the money on it.

I witnessed the droves of effort women placed into using makeup to attract.

Or they could have been wearing it for themselves. This may just be a lady thing, but part of the fun of going to parties is getting ready for them.

I think we all have to consider that everybody uses makeup for different reasons, a movie star and a college student are in completely different enviroments and they want to attract different kind of people, so, we shouldn't try to generalize.

That said, I understand your point. In my opinion make up is very useful in small amounts: It highlights the goodness of the face and makes you look slightly better. It is deceptive though? Mmmm, maybe for a insecure teenager who thinks that all their fav influencers are perfect, but for an adult I think should be clear all that 'flawlessness' is artificial.

Makeup should be illegal.

 

[Kujo Jotaro]

Light makeup is ok in my book, but when women start caking it on(whether they're attractive with or without it) its a major turn off for me. The level at which I would judge "caking it on" is much lower than most, and as a result I view many women in public as clowns let loose from the carnival. Most women look much better without it, I really don't get why they feel the need to wear it unless they have horrendous acne.

As far as I am aware, that is due to a mutation in the myostatin gene, not photoshop.

It's seen in whippet dogs, they are known as "bully" whippets.

This is a bully whippet on the left, and a normal whippet on the right:

Makeup ruins your skin with a few exceptions that protect it.
And though I appreciate your OPs autistic view on deception through look - I really do - beauty itself is so much more important.

I used to think like you OP. But really, it's quite quaint if someone puts in a lot of effort to look beautiful for you.
And if they just do it to look lovely for themselves then enjoy it as a treat.

But I agree it's kind of a viscous circle and especially when combined with not eating enough and thus not getting the minerals your skin needs then makeup can really ruin your skin to the point where the girl in question can look horrible without it.

I also can't imagine the pressure to constantly have make-up. If your job is to be a model or a singer or I guess a e-thot then fine. But the effort ladies put into looking good when just going to their office job, man. I feel it's not right.

But I won't complain. Though a plain girl that just takes care of her skin and puts a bare minimum of makeup usually ends up winning in the long run imo.

Guys who use make-up just doesn't make much sense to me unless you're in the "biz". Though some Maskara/eye shadow on guys can look sexy as f.

Why do women wear makeup and perfume? They are ugly and they stink.

This is kinda the sober truth. And while it could be argued to be "deceptive" to hide your literal blemishes in this social struggle we do so with everything all the time. We hide our opinions, we hide traits we think others might not like, we don't act out the way we want all the time. I kinda wished we had to do this less but living in a society means we have to do it at least in part, or nothing would work.

We compete with each other and while someone might not naturally be super gifted in what ever field, they can instead work hard to improve themselves there.

It's one thing to conceal blemishes and not look like complete shit.

It's another thing to tack on fake features to your face like eyeliner, blush, and lashes. Completely fake and vain.

 

[topsikrets]

I dunno, to the trained eye it only serves to highlight their insecurity.
It's not anything half as bad as the chink/gook are doing with the full facial reconstruction surgery, and then they marry someone who doesn't know and churn out a couple of moon faced mongs? that's downright devious.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

If you have a problem with being aesthetically challenged, take it up with God-- all I know is that I'm not trying to be catfished in real life, and I don't appreciate your efforts to catfish me. And don't tell me you're doing it "just to look prettier", especially while you shrink away from cameras whenever you don't have "enough" makeup on. You spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on makeup products because you think you're ugly without them-- and to be frank, you might be.

Your spouse will see your unadorned face, and it's your inherent physiognomy that your children will inherit. Your lips aren't that color, those aren't your eyelashes, those aren't your eyebrows (and you shouldn't have been trying to pluck them in the first place), your cheeks don't actually blush, and your skin is two shades darker than that.

And that's not all: even if those were your natural features, they'd be all but gone in the next 20-30 years. You are going to become a human prune and there's nothing you can do about it-- so focus on the being the kind of human prune you want to be.

At the very least, try to promote actual changes in your physiognomy-- eat well and exercise adequately. But makeup is bullshit.

Might be cute to tease a girl who looked fine without makeup but ends up being embarrassed when someone sees her unadorned face... wouldn't know for sure, though.

 

[Cool Dog]

The problem is northern women who literally cake on this shit, like over here women use makeup but not so much else people will think they're whores

Whenever I visit the states the average 25-30 woman looks like a pornstar, makeup-wise

 

[Cheeseburger Picnic]

Minuses of being a woman who never wore makeup: Always look/feel a little bit more plain compared to other women in your younger years

Pluses:
- Doesn't actually affect your career prospects if you're smart and produce quality work (the kind of jobs that require makeup usually ruin your psyche anyway)
- Mostly rules out the attention of pornsick types, attracts quality men who want a relationship
- The man who loves you and builds a life with you thinks your real face is beautiful anyway
- Saves thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours
- Look 10 years younger once you hit your thirties because daily makeup ages your skin

 

[YourFriendlyLurker]

Some women just use make up as a kind of "armor" for their usual workday, consider it something like a battle ritual. Besides it's always a pleasure to care about yourself and make yourself beautiful, and a bit "different" each day. You say "deception", but how often do you see people with heavy make up irl that really can be really deceptive? Like omg what a queen, but she washes her face and it is Kevin Gibbs? I hardly see many of those, because it takes too much time and skill. Waking up 2 hours earlier just to put 4 layers of tone? Not many would agree.

The bottom line, yes sometimes woman do it to look more attractive for males just as males do some chad shit to look attractive for females. But sometimes they just enjoy the process. It's really cool to look at the mirror and see something pleasant for a chance.

 

[Isaac]

Oskar Wild was right. Most of it should be socially forbidden to wear

 

[Law]

No, Socrates, people have worn makeup even when it was radioactive and literally killed them. It's no different then wearing nice clothes or working out or bathing.

When was working out or bathing radioactive or deadly?

Some women just use make up as a kind of "armor" for their usual workday, consider it something like a battle ritual.

And I consider this silly.

 

[Spiny Rumples]

I agree in some ways - makeup often causes people to look good because it mimics things that make a woman look more attractive (youth, overall health, emotional warmth, arousal, fertility, whatever facial contrast conveys).

If people don't wear makeup to look more attractive, then wouldn't they be fine with makeup that makes them look a bit uglier?

Of course, I don't think makeup is the only way to do this. Corsets, push-up bras, and padded bras are all ways to warp the appearance of the body for women. For men, I see suits similarly, as they visually suggest a person is wealthy, or higher-class, and padded shoulders suggested a different body shape. For everyone, red shirts improve ratings of attractiveness, I guess because they give the person a flushed glow that gently mimics youth/health/arousal.

People aren't that simple, though. I think for most people, doing things that make them seem like a better mate is just a way to improve their social standing. Pretty people have privileges, yeah?

I still think these things are negative when dating, as it's weird to fall in love with someone only to learn that they're not how they appeared. Heck, I know two girls who always wear colored contacts.

And then there's furries...
