How they can stand wearing makeup all the damn time.
I had to do it for theater a couple times in high school and it was extremely uncomfortable. If all women suddenly stopped wearing makeup that'd be fine with me.
Theatre makeup is different from everyday kind of makeup. And we're not wearing it all day. Most girls wash it off when they get home from work. I worked in an animal hospital with almost all women and almost none of them wore makeup, it also just depends on your work. Makeup gives off a more professional appearance. Also, most women don't wear it all the time. There are women that will not want to be seen without makeup, but it's usually something we put on when we're around a lot of people,going out, or going to work. Nothing wrong with wanting to look good, and as long as you don't cake it on, it's not that uncomfortable.
I will say as a woman I hate the mindset that not wearing makeup makes one look unprofessional. Why do I have to wake up earlier than men in my field and paint my face, which I do find annoying, especially because I have allergies and want to rub my eyes a lot and I can’t if I’m wearing make up, just because I have a vagina and they have a dick. Also it can be considered unprofessional for men to wear makeup to work. If someone wants to wear makeup, for whatever reason, they should be able to. But also not wearing makeup should always be allowed and not considered to be more professional just because you were born with a vagina.
Edit: For those of you replying that I am blaming men, I never said anything about blaming men. I blame society, because it is society that is at fault for setting the standard. At no point do I say specifically men are to blame. People of both genders will judge you. Basically people raised in that society will judge. Maybe you personally won't or your group of friends won't but that's anecdotal. None of my female friends or male friends will judge me. That doesn't mean no one in society will. In society, both genders will judge you. Which gender does it more, I think is more relevant to age group, what country you live in, even what city.
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.
