Top 10 Things About Makeup Guys Can’t Stand
All men are pretty aware of the fact that most women wear makeup. It’s standard in the repertoire of most women in modern society, and it is a part of their daily routines. Makeup is a simple way to spruce yourself up instantly and change your mood for the whole day. It can also make you more attractive to men. But while it may be attractive to men in some ways, it can also be a turn-off to them as well. How women perceive makeup can be drastically different from how men perceive it. You may be surprised at how some men actually see women when they have a face full of makeup. To learn more, read on and discover the top 10 things about makeup that guys can’t stand.
Men can be terrified of bright lips
It may seem weird to think of this as true, but some men are actually a bit scared of bright lipstick colors. They could be wondering what their lips will look like if they give you a kiss and how they will look long after the kiss is done. It can also make it hard for them to focus on other things besides the lipstick. Some guys might even say, “Man, my eyes hurt!” According to the opinion of some guys, bright lipsticks can actually do more harm than good and keep them from being able to witness your naturally beautiful features.
Fake eyelashes are not always attractive to them
Fake eyelashes may seem like the cherry on top of your makeup routine. You may even think that it can make a guy look at you a little bit longer. But actually, men do not find fake eyelashes as attractive as you may think.
Men don’t really like eyebrows that look painted
In the same way that guys are not fond of bright lips, they also don’t really like unnatural-looking eyebrows. There has been a trend of eyelash techniques that make them literally look painted on. But most guys just don’t get this look, and it can turn them off.
“Nike” eyebrows are a big no-no
Even beyond painted eyebrows, men really can’t stand the “Nike” eyebrow look. When this trend started, it did not look exactly like the logo. But now, there are some techniques that resemble the popular logo a little too much.
Contouring can really be confusing for men
A little contouring can really accentuate your features. But the difference is enhancing a natural look and creating a whole new feature altogether – that doesn’t exist without the makeup. Totally constructing cheekbones or a different-shaped nose can be a bit extreme for most men.
Men are not the biggest fans of face glitter
That face full of glitter may have been a good idea at that party you went to last week, but it may not be the best option for a date out with a guy. They can’t seem to wrap their minds around why glitter is necessary for a woman’s makeup look. It may seem nice in the mirror, but glitter in makeup does not always translate well to the opposite sex.
Guys don’t like that sticky lip gloss as much as you do
You might look at the way guys feel about sticky lip gloss as similar to how cats feel about water. It’s just too much moisture to maneuver! Sticky lip gloss may have a nice visual appeal, but men actually find it not very pleasing from a sensory perspective. That means that men don’t really like kissing sticky lips.
Cakey foundation is a big turn-off for guys
A foundation that appears to have a caked texture can happen for reasons like dry skin, products that are not a good match, or an improper layering technique for makeup. All that being said, it is not a good look for the next date you go on with that guy you like.
Men aren’t big fans of nude lipstick either
It may seem fickle since they don’t like bright lippies either, but guys aren’t big fans of nude lips. They simply don’t get lipstick that makes the lips the same color as women’s faces.
Dark-eye makeup is not attractive to most guys
You may not believe it, but that dark eye makeup could be the reason you haven’t gotten your dream guy yet. According to statistics, for 66% of men, dark eye makeup doesn’t add to attractiveness.
