What men really think of your make up…
I was reading this really interesting article today called ‘what men really think of your make up’ and thought i would share my findings.
When we think of sexy make up we more often than not think of dark smoky eyes, a nice bronzed face and vampy shiny lips. Turns out 70% of guys think the exact opposite actually preferring a more fresh faced and natural looking face.
Daily Makeover recently polled 100 men to find out what they really thought of our make up. The men were showed photos of various celebrity ladies both glammed up and looking a bit more natural to see what they preferred and why.
The first celebrity under scrutiny by the men was Ashley Green. A whopping 76% preferred her natural looking make up saying that they felt her heavy eye make up hid her natural beauty.
Second up was the gorgeous Charlize Theron with 72% loving her natural look because they felt her red lipstick washed her face out and that she looked healthy and glowing with her natural make up.
The guys were then shown Zoe Saldana and 54% loved her looking natural but they actually felt she pulled off both looks quite equally although they did think it would be nicer to wake up to a more natural face.
The next lady was a very obvious choice, the stunning Megan Fox. A massive 82% of men said they didnt care much for the bright red lipstick she was wearing in the glammed up photo.
Last but not least was Latino lovely, Jennifer Lopez. 62% of men preferred her natural look.
The results of this poll did get me thinking and it seems the natural look has made a bit of a comeback recently much to the pleasure of guys everywhere presumably. However i am left slightly disgruntled thinking about all the time i invested in finding the perfect red lipstick to suit my skin tone. Not to mention that for us girls, it can actually be a lot harder to pull off the natural look than just having a done up face.
I am now debating doing a little test to temporarily ditch my usual routine which due to the fact i am super used to doing it everyday, actually takes me no time at all in favour of a new time consuming routine which would involve me appearing fresh faced and natural by the end of it. How long till our men change their mind on everything said above when they realise whats involved in this look? Answers on a postcard please
