There are a whole bunch of reasons to take issue with modern beauty standards, but some men are very confidently incorrect that they are knowledgeable about how women can and should look. As always, when ignorance and confidence mix, these folks make sure everyone knows about it.
So we’ve gathered some of the best posts of women mocking men who say they prefer the “no makeup look” despite having only the faintest idea of what it actually is. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments down below.
I feel like they should shave their beard off so we can see their undefined jaws and double chins 🤷🏻♀️.
Annoyed, maybe also a bit amused. It’s not even the fact that they can’t tell (which is also true), it’s more that I have never once asked a man how much makeup he wants to see on a woman, and yet they insist on telling me anyway.
I prefer a man who doesn’t give his opinion when no one asked for it, and yet here we are.
Sounds like a man who thinks women’s choices should revolve around him, which isn’t a man I want to spend any time with.
I think they don’t know what “no makeup” looks like. What they actually are saying is they prefer makeup that they can’t tell is makeup. I don’t wear makeup 99% of the time. On the days I wear natural makeup the world suddenly changes and men treat me completely differently.
I think they think they sound more down to earth but, as a professional makeup artist all I hear is “I prefer women that are naturally gorgeous” which is actually a bigger ask lol.
You’re free to have a preference. Don’t shove that on to me. And don’t conflate your preference with deserving of respect.
I roll my eyes because they have no idea what they are talking about. Most of them mean “I like a soft more natural make up look” They still want smooth, clear looking skin, no bags around the eye and a bit of mascara. They don’t know what they are talking about, they think they do, but they don’t. Just ignore men, you should be your own target audience. DO YOU LIKE IT? that is all that matters. Confidence is sexier than Sephora.
Somehow the guys who say that tend to fall for women with a lot of makeup on their faces, and then they try to pressure the woman to stop using it.
If you don’t want a woman with makeup then choose a woman with no make up!
If it’s someone I’m dating and they see me first thing in the morning with not a drop on and say I look most beautiful like this or something it’s lovely. For almost all other situations, it’s an ick and they can’t tell when women are or aren’t wearing makeup
