The truest evil in our society. It makes ugly girls look beautiful, it makes men look like women. It makes good looking girls think they're ugly without it. It fuels unnecessary & extreme spending of income. Women have been conditioned to think they need it in order to look good & function in society. On more than one occasion I have told a female friend they look better than usual today & they gasp, then say they're not wearing any makeup. Well how about you wear no makeup more often? I respond. They laugh at me. Now women even shave off their eyebrows & use makeup to look like eyebrows. My neighbor did this, I asked her fiancé what it was like being with a girl like that, he said he wakes up next to an alien every morning. Makeup is the biggest con ever sold to the public.
I hate makeup for so many more reasons that I can't even come up with right now.

Actually, the real problem is that while those that want to contort their bodies in sometimes severe ways have the perfect right to do that to themselves, they will strongly argue that we MUST accept them for what they make themselves into. The drive in some humans for attention is incredible today. True, it is a natural human trait of natural selection, but carried to the extreme by the "K" crowd (I will NOT learn to spell that name) and many female performers today.
Frankly, being an old gent from a couple of generations ago, I love any T&A is see, but this whole spectrum has edged into the twilight zone when a personal preference impinges--no, is forced, upon the standards of society. There is no good reason why a trans-whatever should dictate which bathroom they want to use. I can't and neither should they.

First I wanted to address this...no one is forcing you to like or accept anything about anyone. You are free to feel how ever you want however hateful or loving that may be. All I ask is that you do not take my dignity and impede my ability to use public facilities and certainly do not put your hands on me in an effort to do so, that is it. You don't have to look at, touch or talk to me so in essence you ignore me and I'll continue on not even noticing you.
Now makeup is very subjective to the individual and their taste's. I have a male friend who loves girls who wear a lot of make up, I give him grief about it sometimes but that's his thing. He likes the "trashy slut" look as he calls it and again I give him grief over his choices but they are his and his alone to make. As for makeup itself some of the high end stuff as natural additives in it that are actually good for your skin. MAC for example always leaves my face looking better and fresher than it did while I still had it on. I've actually moved on to Ultimate Face Cosmetics because I took one of their pro studio makeup courses and fell in love with the products.
Lastly if you like a girl while she is wearing makeup and then she removes it and you do not retain those feelings then perhaps you are shallow and never truly liked her in the first place. I'm just tired of men and this whole makeup is evil and deceptive "woe as me" attitude. Maybe instead of bitching and moaning you could be appreciative of every little thing (and its a lot) that women do to appeal to you in the first place. If you tell a girl that you like that she should wear less makeup and she listens and you do not like her anymore what kind of damage to her self esteem and self worth did you just cause?
