Since ancient times, makeup has been a number one tool that women use to preserve, or should I say to enhance their natural beauty.  At the present, makeup is the bread and butter for women to look stunning and confident. In fact, some girls can’t even meet people without the magical powder applied on their faces.

But as far as meeting men is concerned, you might not notice that we had already gossiped about you even before meeting you. Especially on the makeup you spent hours applying on your face.

The Truth

The truth is that we guys give a damn about your makeup.  Like any man, we love pretty ladies but like any human being, we hate being cheated by beauty. The cosmetic technology is so advanced that excessive makeup not only enhances beauty, it literally transforms beauty!

To elaborate further, women with excessive makeup are like the event of ordering a pizza. You think it will look as plentiful and as mouth watering as shown in the menu. But as the pizza reaches your table, you did not complain, instead you quietly finish it as you imagine yourself overturning the table because the pizza is not what the menu promised it to be.

The only difference is that in the menu, the words “Pictures are for illustration purposes only” are always written at the bottom. The same phrase however is not written on a woman’s face. So basically, excessive makeup clouds men from seeing the truth.

What Do Men Gossip About?

I often observe and have countless gossips discussions with my peers whenever a girl worth mentioning about passes by and these are the usual thing we talked about.

“Her face is brighter than her neck!”

The worst thing a girl can do to her face is to “ghostify” it by selecting the wrong colour tone of foundation. This is the most important one as I had seen many girls ruined their beauty with the wrong foundation.

Fairness is not the only issue when it comes to making up. So, stick to the basics and save the white powder for Japanese Geishas or the clowns.

“Man, those eyes are freaking huge”

Eye liners are meant to highlight and accentuate your eyes. A thin line around your eyes makes your eyes look brighter. A thick line on the other hand, gives you the eyes of a panda, which you had tried to conceal it with the under-eye concealers awhile ago.

“Those are the eyes of a Devil!”

Most Asian men like it all in black, your hair and especially your eye colour. We don’t give a dingdong how many colours your eyes can change with the help of contact lenses, we expect it to be black. As a matter of fact, coloured eye is such a distraction it is unexplainable how irritating they can be.

Don’t be surprised to have men talking to your boobs because your eyes are just too distracting to look into.

This is entirely different for white people though.

“The Eyebrows are fake mate”

More often than sometimes, I saw girls with a fake eyebrows. Fake eyebrows? How do you know? Fake eyebrows can be easily determined by eyebrows without furs. Meaning, a girl shaved her eyebrows away and draw a fake one with the coloured pencils they have in the makeup bag.

If you have ugly eyebrows, trim it, don’t shave it. Like I said earlier, guys like to see the truth.

“Why do they waste our time making up for minor events?”

Know when to look good, seriously.
On important events like a ball, annual dinners, prom, by all means girls, artistically paint yourself to look your best, take as much time as you want.

In your workplace, do apply some makeup so that you look energized. You don’t want your boss asking the reason behind your tired-looking face.

However, during informal friend gatherings, please, there is no need to spend hours to look like a supermodel when we are eating at a normal hawker center. Unnecessary things are not appreciated by the guys.

“The dress does not suit the face!”

Girls, if you want to beautify your face, select an outfit that suits the face will you? The makeup applied should go along with the image you wish to present to others. Don’t go out looking like a supermodel but dressed up like a nerd.

If you are going to a formal dinner and you have the perfect dress, but you don’t know how to makeup, get a friend or your mom to help out. It is not as bad as the example mentioned above but having some makeup would probably be a great confidence booster.

You Don’t Need To Be a Makeup Artist to Look Pretty

So you’re not as talented as your friends when it comes to makeup? Don’t fret, because a wise man once told me “Simplicity is Genius”.

Your appearance can only serve as an advantage to you as far as meeting new people is concerned. Your personality plays a bigger role after that.

Remember girls, guys adore you being pretty, just not to the extent of an entirely different you (which excessive or bad makeup can cause). Thus, men really appreciate that tiny little cosmetic magic that glamorizes your beauty.
