One often cited study.

Why women use makeup: implication of psychological traits in makeup functions.
In response to: Makeup acts and stimulates three of our senses: touch (which encompasses all sensations from the body surface), smell (fragrance), and sight (the process of becoming and looking beautiful). The positive stimulation of these senses by makeup can induce sensory as well as psychological pleasure. In order to understand the relationship of women to their makeup, we interviewed different groups of women on their quality of life and makeup habits. Then, through four standard well-validated psychometric self-questionnaires, we examined the possible relation between the need to make up oneself and specific psychological features. Our first results clearly showed that makeup could support two opposite "up" functions, i.e., "camouflage" vs "seduction." Concerning their psychological profiles, results showed that women of the functional class "camouflage" are more anxious, defensive, and emotionally unstable compared to those of the functional class "seduction," who appear to be more sociable, assertive, and extroverted. Further analyses revealed a division of the two classes into subclasses of volunteers with opposed personality and psychological profiles. This new classification allowed us to define more precisely the relations existing within the subjective experience of women during the makeup process. In conclusion, our study revealed that beyond the simple application of colorful products on the face, makeup has two major functional implications depending on specific psychological profiles of women.

If women do it for themselves, why do they dress differently and wear makeup, style there hair, etc etc, for a simple shopping trip, or a school pick up and wear comfies & dress down when they are at home with more mirrors to look at themselves?confused

The amount of money spent by women to look better speaks for itself...

Exactly. I bet none of them have ever gone to a beauty salon, and said they want to look just like a potato.

LeeCharming: …When you think about it they do in general and that is why they were makeup to enhance their looks, spend a fortune on clothing, haircuts, manicures, pedicures, hair waxing, breast implants, facelifts etc.

…Why do a number of women contradict themselves, by claiming they don’t want to be judged by their looks, when they go so far out of their way to not only grab the attention of men, but also compete to look better, than other women?

…Can we all admit that, Makeup was invented for women to attract men and cover up their imperfections? Can we admit, that women do want to be judged on their looks? Can we admit that women feel the need to wear makeup to make themselves look better and attract men? Can we admit that attractive looking women can get away with just about anything?

A woman never wants to be judged on her looks. When a woman gets ready to go out she looks in the mirror and if she then goes out she is good for anyone, should she ask her partner If she looks good it is just a common courtesy.

I am a women, drastically different to 99% of the population on earth.

I know I'm good looking for most men, but looks doesn't matter to me.

It's the inside that counts millions more.
Compassion, empathy, sympathy, caring, responsible, etch

We all believe that we r right.
If we pool all our resources we will definitely find the 100% right ?

Then no more strife, challenges and disbelief.

I like to present well when out and about, but wear minimal cosmetics.

I exercise regularly, eat healthy and look after myself.

Round home, it's hair down, ol jeans, no make-up, T-shirt....sometimes nip down to the supermarket in that garb.

Of course, we like to feel good and we do what we have to do to impress.

...but....bottom line....he must like ME(inner me).

LeeCharming: I wouldn't say (yes) definitively because it is the world we live in. Women seem to care (1st) about the looks of their potential man...which is utterly misguided. (that is definitive)

On the other hand, they put on disgusting mask of make-up because they obviously feel it enhances their looks (Which I don't agree, it only covers the natural beauty)...It mostly entails being fake, which I despise. Again, it's part of life and of course some argue it's because of man's expectation that (forces) women to paint themselves.
Just random thoughts... forgive me!

I hate to point out the obvious, but in your photo you are wearing lipstick, your face is covered by foundation and face cream, your cheeks are covered by blusher and your eyebrows have been pencilled on, so what part of your face is uncovered? If this is making minimum effort, then I can’t imagine how much effort you make, when you leave your house.

I think women have got into such a habit of wearing makeup, they don’t even know they are applying it and deny it, but they do it every single day and I think it has something to do with low self-esteem and fear of people seeing how they really look under the mask of the clown

Makeup is promoted to girls at a young age and becoming a princess has been the dream of many, because of Disney movies brainwashing and claiming the prince will save them.
Stop talking about the inner you, if you are too afraid to reveal the outer you and abandon makeup completely, because from the start you are deceiving men with your fake faces and why should men take you seriously?

What you describe is pure vanity and credit to you for admitting, that women do spend a fortune on makeup, wear makeup to get attention from men and to cover-up their in-perfections

Men and women are judged by their looks, like it or not...
Can you imagine how many great personalities one misses because of that...if we don't like what we see it's very unlikely to try and find out what's within...
