I've seen pretty girls that made me think "damn, she'd be a fucking movie star if she had a someone advising her on hair, make-up and fashion". They were still obviously pretty though. Good facial features, clear skin and body shape are hard to hide.

Yes. There is a lot of tribal knowledge that goes into making a well groomed woman. They aren’t born with it either, it’s taught to them. They also have to be taught to eat healthy and not balloon into a fat ass.

Pretty girls just have more to work with.

Quoted: I don't know about that, it is possible. Maybe the pretty girl strives for perfection to get even better where the ugly girl is like fuck it I'm too ugly to bother so they don't aquire the skill. Kind of like when you drive an old beater, you don't bother detailing it every weekend. You drive something really nice, you want to make it look its best. For whatever reason I have watched makeup tutorials on youtube, some of these girls are absolute artists. I really respect the time they put into this, fuck I'm glad I don't have to bother with that shit everyday. View Quote It's a pain in the ass, I can tell you. I wear makeup because I have light(er) brows and lashes that emphasize my features better if I fix them. I have the full face effort I put in for work, and my half ass attempt on the weekend. I would like to just do the half ass all the time (brows, lashes, primer to moisturize skin), but even with covid I'm not there yet. At my age, the less the better. There is a point where you look worse with more, so I am slowly dialing it back each year. First to go should always be foundation/concealer, and it's been years since I wore that stuff. |

If they are ugly to begin with, makeup isn't really going to help. Most of the gorgeous girls I have seen barely use any makeup. They use it to accentuate their looks instead of cover up.

View Quote Bingo. My mom taught me (she's an artist) makeup was to look natural, even when you wear a lot of it. |

Quoted: I’ll take the no make up version any day of the week. I don’t enjoy going camping with someone who brings a suitcase of makeup and spends 2 hours “putting on” her face before hitting the trail. Makeup is typically the same as padded bras and girdles. View Quote Had a camping buddy bring his girlfriend along. Her makeup bag was almost the size of my pack. She refused to come out of their tent till she had put her war paint on. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You would think ugly girls would have more experience and motivation, but hot chicks almost always have makeup done more tastefully. No pics. I'm just musing while I'm watching those Canuk DJ chicky snacks. How do you know the pretty girls aren't just ugly girls with good makeup? Yep - the girls and women that are really good at makeup are also really good at making it look like they aren’t wearing a lot of makeup. |

TBH, I've found zero correlation between ability to apply makeup and natural beauty.

View Quote That's a really bad example, she looks better without all that caked-on crap the way she has it. She would probably look really good with a better application. |

View Quote On the left it looks like she'd put on a pair of hiking shoes and go to some exploring, or head to the range, sleep in the woods and have hot animal nookie. Much more attractive to me. |
|
View Quote That's a slightly better example, but she still overdoes it. It's usually the eyes. Women don't know how to subtly do the eyes. |

I think wearing a ton of makeup every day damages the skin.

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: These days any woman who is not outright obese qualifies for "pretty" Texas is the same if not much worse with all the beach ball shaped latinas. Here seeing a woman with a normal human sized body is such a pleasant surprise it makes them an automatic 7 or more. ![]() Everything is bigger in Texas. We call it tortilla poisoning. |

Quoted: Nah. My wife is good looking but isn't very good at doing make up. She looks like a different person when it's done by a pro. She has ugly friends that are amazing at make up. They're still fat and gross though. View Quote My daughter got her makeup done for prom and, despite the artist being deft with technique, we weren't really fans because that *technique* made her look not like herself. So I consider that a negative. Someone can be very talented from an artistic standpoint but IMO, a great makeup artist will make someone look like the best version of themselves.....not an entirely different person. |

You’ve heard the old saying that beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes to the bone?
It’s true. At some point that shit either rubs off or is washed off. You can’t keep the face on 24/7. Another thing is that as a female and you age, skinCARE becomes more important than makeup. It absolutely makes me cringe to see some of the YouTube famous do their makeup and see how damned much foundation some of them put on. I use on average no more than a pea sized glob for my whole face. Most days now I only use a tinted SPF, not real foundation. |
|
Quoted: When me and the wife go out, we see what the wife calls Maybelline Monsters. They cake it on so thick, you can't imagine what they really look like sans makeup. Then there are some with no makeup at all that are absolutely stunning. The wife very seldom wears any at all. When she does, its usually a little bit of eye liner. View Quote Same with my wife. I have never asked or desired my wife to wear more makeup. Whatever she wears is minimal and that is fine with me. |

Blondes are at a disadvantage because their eyelashes and eyebrows are almost invisible. Brunettes can go light on makeup and not look that much different, as illustrated above.

Quoted: Looks ten times better without Disagree, in the first one she looks like Napoleon Dynamites aunt. That being said, Hair makes a HUGE difference in the way a lady looks. |

The makeup really just smooths out imperfections in skin tone and accentuates featurese.
It does not change the structure and symytry which is where the real beauty is. |

My wife doesn't wear makeup and doesn't have to shave. Love the body-hairless Irish girls.

the pretty ones put forth...Effort, Time and $$.
a ton of females for one reason or another never take it to the next level. I assume $$ would be a major reason. |

View Quote No, plenty are just born with. Don’t believe the commercials. Mine can put on makeup in 4 minutes and look 100x better than one spending effort, time and money. |

View Quote Pic on the left is more of a natural beauty. The right is artificial, fake even. I'd take the left. |

Some of the ugly ones are absolute magicians with makeup. A buddy of mine dated a girl for a while who wore comical amounts of makeup. She came to the lake with us and wouldn't go in the lake, wouldn't go in the pool, had to sit in the shade because she didn't want to sweat the stuff off. In full war paint, she was probably a 7. I saw a picture of her without...oof. Maybe a 4. I assume this is one reason they split. That was some major false advertisement.
I will agree that the best ones usually only wear a little bit. |
