Personally, i have met quite a number of women over time, and one thing I’ve honestly come to realise is that most girls actually look better without makeup. I know that might sound controversial to some people, but it’s just my personal observation and preference.
There was this recent picture I saw on Instagram of one of my classmates. She had her makeup done professionally, and when I first saw the picture, I genuinely couldn’t recognise her. For a few seconds, I thought it was someone else entirely. It wasn’t even that she looked bad — she looked good — but it didn’t look like her. And that’s what struck me the most. I’ve seen her countless times in school without makeup, and to me, that version of her felt more real and more beautiful.
For me personally, I’m more attracted to girls without makeup because it feels natural and authentic. When I see someone’s bare face, I feel like I’m seeing their true identity — their real skin, their natural expressions, the little imperfections that actually make them unique. Things like pimples, scars, don’t scare me. In fact, they make someone look human. I believe nobody's skin is perfect, and I don’t expect it to be.
Also, sometimes, makeup can completely transform someone’s appearance. I have seen situations where a girl’s pimples and scars were fully covered to the point where her skin looked flawless. Even though that can look amazing, I can’t help but think that it creates a different version of her — almost like a new facial look entirely. If I meet someone for the first time and I’m attracted to her with makeup on, there’s always that thought in my mind that eventually she’ll wipe it off. Eventually, at some point, I’ll see her natural face, and I just wouldn’t want my attraction to be based on something that can be washed away at the end of the day.
I would rather be drawn to someone’s natural appearance from the start. That way, there are no surprises, no adjustments, no “this isn’t what I expected.” What I see is what I’m genuinely attracted to. To me, that feels more stable and honest.
That being said, I understand that makeup isn’t necessarily about deceiving anyone. For many women, it’s a form of self-expression, creativity, or even confidence. Some people genuinely enjoy wearing makeup, and that’s completely fine. I’m not against makeup — I just personally prefer a more natural look.
At the end of the day, attraction is subjective. Everyone has their preferences. But then mine just happens to lean toward simplicity and authenticity. I find something really beautiful about a girl who is comfortable in her own skin, without feeling the need to enhance or cover it up.
