Make up..why women and not men?

It is not society but women themselves that are the driving force behind this social convention all the best urban

Hello littlefranciscan, I don't really like women with lots of make up which is prominent. I just like it if they would apply mild and we won't know. Well i hate radiating lipsticks and too narrow eyebrow lining or what ever you women say that, Lol. Anyways.. To be frank, what would we men put for makeup ? Like, these days i am seeing fairness creams for men! I believe they do no good to us, and women don't need it either. And if i would talk about our face, it would be much better if we remain clean shaved and nicely cut hair, we don't need anything else do we ? Honestly, make up for men sounds a little i don't know he he.. Girlish. Lol, hope you understand. Why would dark men want to become fair?

as far I know, at first, the male also dressed up ..... yes, it happens at the time of reinansance where the male participated primp using powder and lipstick. But that has shift when the men were more aware that primp and adorn face is the domain of women

I don't really know who really did make this norm about women requiring makeup to make themselves look pretty and attractive in person. I think maybe it was developed many years ago. It really is nice to see the female celebrities going all natural to prove they don't need makeup to look gorgeous. I have seen some women that put on way too much makeup and they look clown like or freakish to me. I have heard of makeup for men but none of my male friends wear makeup.

Well, i think this started in the olden time when Cleopatra has to use different kinds of makeup to enhance her beauty. I have read that she even use natural herbs or plants as a beauty regimen. Another thing is women are objects of beauty. In the past women has to find a good husband and so she has to beautify herself to be able to find one. Maybe also, women have more time than men because they just stay home at that time and all they do is to take care of themselves.While men are warriors and they don't have the time to beautify themselves. This is just my opinion but i think we have to research on this further.

Probably some women!(Just kidding) Men are seen as rugged beings and more rough they looks the better is the notion. But women need to be soft, tender, lovely and made up to play the part of being tender of the sexes. Probably women need makeup to apparently match this expectation of others!

Didn't men wear makeup back in the elizabethan times ? but they looked so gay they most likely stopped so they knew who was who. ;) but for myself give me a woman with no makeup au natural anytime, i want to know who im waking up next to, all that clown makeup can be used in a circus, or for childrens play time.

Actually believe it or not, there are make up brands that specifically are made for men. (I do not use it haha) but there are many companies. One of the more popular ones is called 4voo. I guess its becoming more accepted for men to wear it as well....I think Ill skip on that one lol.

For me it is instinct it is the natural creation of Jehovah God.

People wear makeup because they choose to. I never wear makeup, as I'm kind of lazy for doing it and removing it later, and I haven't been told that I'm less attractive because of doing that. Men in movies always wear makeup, and also to photosessions too, by the way

I think its nature. From the beginning women are temptation of men as Eve tempted Adam, that's why maybe women did everything for men be attractive and one proving that make-up adds the beauty of a woman although some are naturally pretty but very seldom.

i think this is because of the god's creation .. he create man with all the beauty with him itself... no need to take anything for that... there he is having all the beauty he need... but women are not like that... they have to take some steps to finish or add their beauty... I think it is because of the difference between hansom and beauty... it is not possible to increase hansom with any of the artificial thing.... but we can increase the beauty with make up things.... May be this is the reason..... what you think?

I tried wearing a little makeup for the first time when I started college and I hated it. It felt yucky and I thought I looked ridiculous. I've never worn any since then. It's less and less the norm for women to wear makeup, at least in everyday life. There are jobs that require it, and special occasions when people like to dress up, but when I walk down the street, I hardly ever see anybody wearing makeup. There are women who are very self-conscious about their looks and think they look better with makeup. That's sometimes true, but not too often, really.

the beauty of someone doesnt come by make it comes from their heart

I have totally no idea who came up with this norm as well; I think it originated from the ancient past long enough for us to be able to trace back. Anyway, I think women prefer to make up because they want to look younger and perhaps to attract men. On the other hand, because make up has long been associated with women, making up for men will only make them look less masculine and more feminine. For example, what would you think of a man who puts on lipstick? Honestly speaking, beauty is really in the eye of the beholder and I am sure there are many men who still find women attractive even without any make up. And for me, I believe character and personality is more important than looks anyway.....cheers!

ok here's a secert some men do wear some kind of make up, not all but some but they wont say anything about it. ive seen some wear clear finger nail polish or ok whatever it is females put on thier face.. lol shhhhhh lol

Actually, men want women with make-up! Make-up beautify a woman look which is appreciated by men. Girls look attractive and sexy with make-up by which men get pleasure.Most women donot bother about men look very much.

There is no any kind of norm or anything like that. It has to do with some kind of genes that are present in higher number in a womens body and very less number in males body. If you think, all the women form all the countries have a tendency to makeup, in general, as compared to men. And this is true, since centuries. Do you agree.
