First this is not a relationship question. It’s about the stuff that women put on their faces.
I am curious about a couple of things in regards to this.
I wear what makeup I wear because I WANT to.
I’m a man. My wife almost never wears make-up and I think she’s beautiful the way she is.
That doesn’t mean that make-up can’t be attractive. I guess it’s how you wear it.
Male. I prefer Mrs. Phoenix au naturel.
I don’t wear makeup, except to weddings. I stopped about 5 years ago. I used to enjoy it, I stopped enjoying it, so I stopped wearing it. My husband thinks I don’t need it, but now on the rare occasions I do wear it, he really gets turned on.
Female. Teenage female. I don’t wear makeup (except for the occasional bit of lip gloss) because I never figured out how to use it. That, and I can never remember the guidelines for tones and shades suitable for Asian skin. :rolleyes:
It leaves me more money for chocolate. 
Female - do wear make up, (although not much, and definitely not as much as I used to as a teenager) and I guess the reason is habit. Used to have bad acne and wear foundation and cover up stick to try to make it look better (which I very much doubt it did). And now, my skin is much better, but I still tend to wear some, just because I have done for so long I suppose.
The boyfriend always says I don’t need it… but don’t really believe that. I feel more confident with it on, I think I look better.
I never learned the proper way to apply the stuff. Once upon a time, I’d use a little mascara and lipstick. These days, I rarely get beyond lip gloss. Personally, I never saw the point of cosmetics. I don’t think my husband cares either way.
Female, don’t wear it. I will occasionally wear some lip balm, but that’s it. I used to be required to wear makeup for my job. I had fun with it when I was a teenager, but now it’s not fun for me, so I just leave it alone.
Of course, if someone wanted to pay me big bundles of money to wear makeup, I could probably see my way clear to slapping on some foundation and lipstick and such every day.
I wear it, like it, and need it. My husband likes it, although he REALLY likes slutty make-up, which I don’t do under any circumstances.
I have pale eyelashes, so mascara is a must. I started wearing base about 10 years ago because my skin tone isn’t what it used to be. I absolutely don’t go out without make-up.
My girlfriend doesn’t wear any, which I like.
Female.
I used to wear it in college, when I was experimenting with contact lenses and such, but now I’m back to glasses and a clean face. Mr. S is not fond of makeup, so he likes me this way, even though I am no natural raving beauty (but thank you, dear, for saying “I usually think you’re rather a dish” the other day).
Once in a very great while I might do lipstick and a bit of eyeliner for a special occasion, or a bit of coverup for a really big zit if I have to look respectable. But eyeliner is hard to do when you’re so nearsighted that your focal length is shorter than the pencil.
Female – not a make up wearer.
It takes me less time to get ready in the morning than stormchaser.
I wear foundation to even out the skin tone, a little translucent powder to cut down on shine, mascara, and lip gloss. If I’m going out, I’ll add eyeliner and lipstick. I don’t wear eyeshadow because my eyes are deep set and my eyelids aren’t visible, so I figure, what’s the point?
I grew up with a mom who is a makeup fanatic (although she puts in on well, so it never looks bad). Except for when I go lay on the beach, I don’t think I’ve been out of the house without makeup since I was about 10.
Yay for lip balm! I’m addicted to mine and it’s all I wear. Right now I have a marshmallow one, yum.
I never learned how to put on make up properly so that’s why I don’t wear it. There is an art to wearing it and I admire the people who do it well. Ever so often I’ll look through a fashion magazine and just stare at the perfect made up faces. I love a really well made up pair of eyes - it’s so pretty to me, but I know if I tried to do that at home it’d be a big mess. Good thing I look presentable with a natural look.
I didn’t wear make up until I was in high school. I am very glad I didn’t.
Now, I wear a light dust of powder, some blush on my cheeks, mascara and lipstick. No base. No eyeshadow. No liners. Very basic.
I have pretty skin and I work very hard to keep it that way. Drink lots of water. Try to avoid sun exposure. Have a facial at least every 3 months or so.
On almost all Saturdays I don’t wear a bit of makeup. That is my skin’s “off” day from it.
My mother, on the other hand, won’t walk to the mailbox without her makeup on. Lots of makeup. She has bad skin though and feels horrible about how it looks.
My husband loves the fact I don’t wear a lot. He encourages me to wear even less than I do now.
The only thing I must have on is lipstick. If I had a choice of having to walk down the street naked or walk down the street without lipstick I would choose the nakedness. 
All of the women I have seen when I knew they were with versus without makeup looked better without. In person, that is. If you’re in danger of being photographed or videotaped, on the other hand, makeup will make you look much better.
I wear base, powder, eye-shadow, eye-liner and mascara every single day. If I leave the house, I have all of the above on.
Occasionally I add lipstick and blush.
My husband swears to me that he can’t tell when I’m wearing it, or when I’m not.
I swear to him he must be blind.
Female, middle-aged.
Like Aries28, I wear minimal makeup, and I wear it because it makes me look better. Transluscent powder; pink lipstick (Cover Girl’s Rose Quartz); mascara (black, always combed out to avoid clumping).
That’s it. If I feel adventurous I may put a touch of brown shadow in the hollow of my eyelid. Takes me probably two or three minutes in all, and brightens up and “finishes” my look.
I’m a mid-twenties female and feel that I don’t need makeup…yet. I plan to keep it that way so I take care of my skin.
But I do wear a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen daily. The only other thing I wear on a semi-regular basis is cover-up for the HUGE circles under my eyes. I have practically translucent skin and being a full-time student with 2 jobs doesn’t leave me much time for beauty sleep. As for the rest:
Lip gloss-daily, with sunscreen.
Mascara-on special occasions, it really perks up my eyes (but Scarlett67 is right, eyes are difficult when you are extremely nearsighted)
BF does like the mascara, but hates lipstick and loves flavored lip gloss (on me, which gets on him by kissies).
