I Tested My Guy Friends To See If They Preferred The Natural Makeup Look Or Barefaced. Here’s What Happened
Some of us have enough cosmetics to fill a closet while others stick to a couple staple products, but whatever level of occupation that makeup has in your life, I’m almost certain that you have your own take on the minimal makeup look.
Without a doubt, mastering “natural makeup” is no easy task, but many women find it to be an important skill so they can enhance their natural features and look more refined than they normally would moments after they roll out of bed.
The cosmetics brand Japonesque eloquently described how beautifully transformative makeup can be for a woman to look and feel her best, but “sometimes less is more. Even when it’s not” – which is where “natural makeup” comes into the picture.
While it goes without saying that many women get ready for the day for themselves as opposed to for a man, we'd be lying if we said we didn't care what they thought at all. With many men claiming that they don't find heavy makeup on women attractive and would prefer them to wear no makeup at all, it lead us to wonder, do men know the difference between a "no-makeup" look (cue: minimal, glowy makeup) and being totally barefaced? If so, which do they truly prefer when put to the test?
I gathered pictures from around the internet of women baring their natural face next to their signature minimal makeup look and asked guys which look on each woman was more attractive. Honestly, their preferences took me by surprise.
