I've noticed that a lot of men don't know what "natural" even looks like.

They'll see a woman with foundation, concealer, highlighter, setting, and mascara on and be like "Wow natural beauty. No makeup."

A lot goes into makeup that isn't just lipstick & eyeliner.

I got asked a few times if I am wearing makeup besides the obvious lipstick and mascara. All by women though. I take it as a compliment that I am able to get a good "natural" look, but it is not just men.

Lovely skin? That's a compliment.

Fantastic no-makeup look? That's a compliment.

Either way, women who wear makeup are more prone to be curious about a look, because they know that both options are quite the achievement.

Yes, it would be nice either way. Absolutely!

I am wearing makeup every time I go outside though and I take it as a compliment. :)
