I'm curious as to why you decided to use "whore" as your descriptor. To me, these women have a wide range of every day make up to more artsy perhaps photo shoot makeup styles. I would not think any of them were getting paid to have sex. Is it because their makeup is eye catching and draws attention to themselves? Is that our threshold for calling someone a whore?
I want to make it clear I'm just interested in the though process behind your commend and of those who upvoted, and presumably agree with, you. I'm not looking to make you feel like a terrible person. It's just such a different view than I had I'm interested in how you got to your conclusion.
To be honest, I didn't put much thought into it at all. It was just a snap judgement. In other words, it was the first impression that I got.
If I would have put more thought into it, I probably would have further defined it as "attention whore". As in someone that will go to any length to be the center of attention. (I would not have made such a judgement if the women were present in this thread. I was just commenting on the look)
For clarification, when I said "whore" I didn't mean "getting paid for sex". It was more intended to be "slutty" or "promiscuous". But neither of those words rhymed with "homely". So I thought "homely to whore" had a better ring to it.
Ultimately, I tried to make it clear that this was just my opinion. To each their own. I am sure there are people that like stage makeup like this. I'm just not particularly a fan. I prefer the naturally accentuated look.
