Why Do Women Wear Makeup?

This was in a popular YT vid channel where a guy in his 50's talks about male empowerment and modern day dating and marriage etc.

This was a follow up video to a previous one where his conclusion was that women wore makeup to impress other Women? Also he said that 90 percent of men who replied to his vid said that they did not care if women wore makeup or not?

Hmmm, I can't entirely agree with all that. If a man goes to a nightclub you can rest assured he will be first attracted to the women who have accentuated their eyes and lips. The one in the corner who wears little or none is less likely to be so visible. So their is a clear cut case of women wearing it to attract men.

Then we have a man and wife/girlfriend who go out to a function and she dresses up and wears makeup. Is that to shine with her partner, to make him proud of her looks, to make her feel good about herself, or is it just to outshine other women?

A debatable subject in my opinion and not clearcut.

So what are your opinions about this, you might like to ask your spouse that question! Do you like your partner to wear makeup?

    Women wear makeup for the same reason that ALL people
    do things like take baths, comb their hair, file their nails, wear
    nice clothes, cologne, etc.

    Besides practicing good personal hygiene and self-grooming
    in order to be clean and healthy, it is a courtesy to the rest of
    humanity to smell nice and look good, otherwise we'd still be
    walking around naked like we did back in the caveman days.

    Although sometimes when I read certain people's posts here
    I wonder whether they ever evolved from being Neanderthals.

    And no, I don't prefer my spouse to wear makeup, I like men
    who are masculine.

      That's an interesting topic! Personally, I think it can vary depending on the person and the situation. Some women might wear makeup to boost their confidence or make themselves feel good, while others might wear it to attract attention, including from men. In a relationship, it could be about making the partner feel proud or just expressing their personal style. I've spoken to friends about this, and many have said they don't mind either way, as long as their partner feels comfortable. By the way, if you ever want to learn more about beauty products, Musely phone number can be helpful for inquiries. Just something to consider!
      no one could reply better.

    I prefer women not to cake make up on but a little bit of eye liner is cool .

    Some women wear make up because they have insecurities.

    You would wish always to enhance, amplify, evin glorify present an' nachrl byooties steada ovahslap, deny, or deloosionally figure.

    'Part from muh ratty hayurre, guess I look OK kinda ow natch.

    But it is tough bein' a Princess sumtimes.

    Like ... lip glaahs don't reflect out all cray when you in a haaspityool kissalifin' sum dyin' kid.

    Or mebbe your cleavage gits photoshopped a zillion times, an' you figure at least ONE looks bettah than the dreeyim sceanario gowin' ahn when the robes drahp to the floor.

    An' then you gaht the whole guy question asks IMPRESS or DETER?

    So here is Moi, testin' VACAY FLAME leapsteurch in muh local store ...

    K, so like in most zacktin' spurrmunts, I dress regulah othahwise.

    (Don't want nowan respondin' to them MECHANICAL BAT WINGS I sumtimes DON & sheelt.)

    Yeah, so there is a guy figurin' a canned soup slooshin', I guess.

    He takin' his time, like TOMATER? or CHICKEN? or VEGTERBYOOL?

    An' I walk past an nuthin' 'bout muh visage appeahs to be an ishoo.

    Same goes for THE HECK CAN I FIND MY PHONE WOMAN, whose majah prahblaahm actschwlly looks like her STOOPID DAHG.

    Yeah, so I blow her a kiss, an' she is like hubbliviouse.

    An' that is when George Clooney appears.

    I see meediate he jus' here for chocklit bcs he wandrin' all confoosed till'n he sees the chocklit, then he grabs what I bullieve could be sum kinda FIX -- an' speeds to pay.

    Thing is, havin' TRAINED AT LENGTH to pursoo Benedict Cumbahbatch in heels shouldso evah he appeah, it is no prahblem for Moi to run fronta Clooney bcs he is way too old for Moi plus only 8".

    You might wanna call it a GAYIMM -- ha! or mebbe a SPURRMUNT!

    See, bcs all I gaht rn is muh VACAY FLAME, leapin' all visyool an' suggestive from muh lips like an open invitayschwaahn to suddooce Moi into deliverin' TRANSFORMAYSHNYOOL BLISS 'PON EVRY LEVEL.

    So Clooney says: Get any closer, and I will have my bodyguard stab you in the frickin' ass.

    I follow his gaze.

    Uh huh -- the canned soup guy.

    An' so I am like what does it mattah?

    Anyways, they all leave.

    Turns out Ocean's Whatevah bein' filmed nearby, an' bcs Benedict ain't playin the VILLIN idfc.

    But I figure I still gotta pay for the 13 zucchini I picked up doorin' my spurrmunt.

    Sum noo guy scans 'em an' says, "Thirteen? Don't you know that is an unlucky number?"

    So I reply, "yeah, but what 'bout muh goddamn lips, babe?"

    An' the guy goes, "That is what I saying. Try ONE, but if you get sore, don't push it too far."

      Also: Boltin' horsiz nevah look back.

      Which is why I prefer Colt Lash products ovah stuff like Eyes 4 Babe or Clearly Hypnitized.

      You can win vacays an' shit -- plus their CEO endeavors always to (an' I quote) "not get my ass locked up for shit by accident".

      Am I affiliated?

      The hell no!

      That would make Moi sound like a fatass tryfuel!

      Ha, no -- I jus' love the way Colt Lash applies.

      Regulah maz gits real sticky -- but Colt has that 'jus' flick out an' go' feel.

      Like you can jus' flick out an' go, yanno?

      Plus you can download horse stuffs direct from the applicatah.

      All kindsa media.

      Thing is tho, you lay down at night, you gahta figure ...

      I want Colt Lash all ovah muh pillow tamara ...

      OR

      of the rampagin' DARKNESS blindin' my eyes?

      Prolly hurrelvint. Dunno.

      Yeah so I run with Colt.

      She flourishy, no-worriesy, plus also equinourishy.

    For example, I like the natural make-up because I want to look fresh

    I think makeup can. sometimes to feel confident, other times to impress others. I would appreciate when my partner wears it if it makes her happy, but honestly, I would also love her natural look just as much.
