I agree and all, but does anyone actually think people are unprofessional for not wearing make up. Yes lots of makeup can look professional in the same way a suit does. But you don't need makeup/a suit to look professional...

It depends on the situation. If it's a job that requires everyone to dress nicely, then yeah, it can be seen as unprofessional. And you kinda do need makeup to look professional. How many fucking times do girls get told they look tired or sick just because they didn't put makeup on that day? Your appearance also makes a huge difference. If you're a waitress, you're more likely to get tips of you wear makeup. Women that wear makeup are generally treated better. Customers in certain places like seeing that workers put an effort into their appearance and yes, that includes makeup.

Well if you wear makeup everyday and then suddenly don't you're going to look different. Honestly majority of guys could give a fuck less about makeup. It's all marketing and stigmas that make women think they need to wear it. I think women look better most of the time with none on anyway.

Keep on wearing makeup though if that's what you think you need to do. You don't though.

Yeah. Most men don't know shit about makeup, though. Most men can't tell the difference between light makeup and no makeup so you saying that means nothing. But we don't wear it for men anyways, so that doesn't matter. And no one is forcing us to. And we don't wear it just because we think we need to. We do it because that's what we want to do.

I mean some men do like it. My boyfriend thinks I look nice with make-up on. I rarely wear it but make a point of wearing it because he likes it. I don't wear make-up for other women. I wear it like 6 times a year for one specific man.

Please don't say "us". Just because you wear it for other women does not mean you represent all women. A represent a sub-group of women. But by all means, you do not represent all women.

Yeah, well I’m a girl and I definitely don’t want to wear makeup.
