If you still can be recognized after removing your makeup, that's makeup. If you become a completely different person after removing your makeup, that's makeover.
@@alabama.worley I genuinely never saw a woman that's not attractive become attractive after putting on makeup. Beauty is largely about facial proportions, symmetry and sexual dimorphism, which I learned the hard way growing up with a plastic surgeon mom, reminding me that no amount of makeup can fix your bone structure. Makeup can make a beautiful woman slightly more beautiful or clown like (if too much is applied), but not an unattractive woman beautiful, or even pleasing to the eyes. That's why I believe it's not even remotely possible makeup can be deceiving, the "huge difference" we see on before and afters is almost always due to photoshop, angles or lighting. In real life the woman would be equally attractive or unattractive and I think it would be much healthier for all of us to accept that no amount of face pain can actually change our appearance significantly.
As a woman, I am perplexed with these false eyelashes' women are wearing. They look ridiculous. I use to wear a little mascara, blush and lip gloss when going out with my husband but never wore makeup to work. Beauty magazines have been grooming women for years.
You're so right. It is grooming. I canceled my Women's Health sub when the article "The 10 kinds of sex you MUST have!" ran. Random foreign guy, sex in public, sex involving food, etc. Random & casual sex ARE NOT healthy!!
My last ex-gf had them... They were not the extreme sort, but still ridiculous to have to glue fake eyelashes on your eyelids everyday. Not to mention the costs of these things. And sometimes i saw an edge come loose. I thought, what are you thinking woman, doing this everyday... And she didn't even have bad natural eyelashes herself. As a guy, i guess i'm blessed with natural dark long and curled eyelashes. Some women admitted to be jealous of them. Another ex-gf was very blonde and had tiny eyelashes. She didn't wear false eyelashes to hide that, but she did use mascara. And i can really understand when women use that if their eyelashes are almost invisible otherwise. I'm not against make-up as a whole, but it's just way overused too often.Often you just see it caked on to a face. You have no idea who's underneath it (legit scary for a guy) and to me it also looks suffocating. Your skin needs to breathe!
the ones with no make are the pretty ones. i disagree with her on one thing. if your bf/husband is telling you not to wear make up you should listen him. shouldn't it come down to what he prefers? if you don't think this way, then are you wearing make up for another man? or attention from other men?
make up is for women to impress other women. Guys have good eyes, that make up is not fooling us. make is for old people. how to have beautiful skin, avoid all vegetable oil. when you eat vegetable oil, your body hates it so much, that it pushes it out of your skins pores. it takes up to 3 years to get rid of the vegetable oil you eat. vegetable oil is poison. when you see a beer belly, that is really a vegetable oil belly.
I feel like makeup makes u insecure about urself because u feel the need to be validated by someone to tell u u look good and ur clearly hiding ur naturality
Personally, I am a big fan of makeup, I love wearing colourful eyeshadow and eyeliner to match my outfits. I'm not really a fan of foundation though since it's pretty bad for the skin but yeah I wouldn't shame someone for not wearing makeup and not putting myself on a pedestal for wearing it 👌🏻
YES!!! There are some days where I’m like ehhh don’t want to today feels kinda like a waste of time. Other times, it’s like OOOOOO THIS WOULD LOOK EPICCC WITH MY OUTFIT but I myself just use a bit of touch up for a “foundation”, or just none of that at all! This contouring stuff and all that jazz honestly seems super tedious and I already like to do eyeliner designs which can sometimes take a decent bit to do depending on the day, my mood, and if I’m doing something SUPER professional/formal such as attending an important meeting or going to work
The irony is that this is the genesis of the body positivity movement. It was about embracing natural beauty and acceptance of those that have physical deformities like birth defects or amputees. God knows how it ended up being taken over by the whales but i fully support a revival of the OG movement.
You act as if birth defects, deformities, skin conditions like vitaligo, or amputees, are any more attractive than obese women. It's all unattractive to the majority of straight men and trying to force, compel, or shame men into "what's considered attractive" is a bad move, no matter what. ...Even though that's why skinny women are seen as attractive in the modern day and Rubenesque women were seen as attractive hundreds of years ago, because "health" may be a factor in physical attraction, but you can rarely tell one's health by their looks; it has more to do with socioeconomic status and class more than anything. Fatness used to be a sign of wealth hundreds of years ago; nowadays being fit and skinny is a sign of wealth, while being overweight is a sign of being working class/poor. So really, the whole "being thin is a sign of good health, that's why it's sexy" take is complete bullshit too, the "Body Positivity movement did the same thing, in the inverse, saying "being 300+ pounds as a 5'3 woman is a sign of health cause it means you're not anorexic." Both sides are wrong, and beauty standards are determined by the socionomic health standards at the time. Which is why it's usually ONLY upper middle class and wealthy men attracted to skinny women. Working class, black, and Hispanic men are attracted to thicker women for the same 'health/class' reasons. TL;DR: How wealthy you grew up and where you lived, determines physical attraction, not the fashion industry or any body positivity movements. Sorry for writing a whole book here.
@@MarvinPowell1 There's thick and there's fat. Also, you can control fat, you can't control birth defects. No matter what you do, you still have the same problem. If you're fat, you can lose weight. If you're too skinny, you can gain weight. Also, again, thick or voluptuous women don't need to make men be attracted to them, they're already attractive. It's fat women that have that problem. Lastly, no man wants an anorexic woman. That problem is one created by and pushed by women. If women just stuck to trying to maintain a shape men find attractive, they'd be a lot healthier than they would be following female trends
@@MarvinPowell1 I think you missed the whole point. The original body positivity movement wasn't about forcing or coercing people to find amputees or those with birth defects attractive. It was about accepting them for who they were and pushing back against some of the stigmatisation that went along with there conditions.
@@MarvinPowell1What the person means is that body positivity is meant for people where a specific trait is out of their control. For example amputees, chemo patients/alopecia, burn victims, stretch marks, scars, etc. It’s mot meant for people that are obese due to lifestyle choices and parade around that it’s out of their control or they push it onto others.
The "it is so bad for you" stuck out for me. As a teen, I would try to wear makeup like every other young teen, and I would wind up with an eczema like rash (or breakouts). I tried out probably 12 different brands, and gave up by the time I hit 18. My friends would dabble in artistic use of make up (theater, Halloween outfits--very cool!), and I just couldn't. Wearing it for fun, for special events, cool. But I do get really worried about daily use of makeup over decades of life. Thanks for the video post! Very informative to me. :)
if you know history, make was full of poison. remember anything you put on your skin, it is the same as you eating it. how to have beautiful skin, avoid all vegetable oil. when you eat vegetable oil, your body hates it so much, that it pushes it out of your skins pores. it takes up to 3 years to get rid of the vegetable oil you eat. vegetable oil is poison. when you see a beer belly, that is really a vegetable oil belly.
I enjoy the process of applying makeup and playing around with different eye looks and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It just becomes a problem when u rely on it to feel better about yourself to the point u can never go outside or feel confident without it
When my wife and I were first dating, we had just gotten back to her place and she asked me if her makeup was ok. I said, “I actually don’t like makeup as it messes with my eyes”. I’m autistic so looking people in the face was hard enough, with makeup it was worse. I expected to get yelled at, but no… she shouted “YES!” And explained that she didn’t like putting it on. She hasn’t put makeup on in a few years. Honestly she looks better without it. See most men like a happy medium. The way you do yours Misha is great. Yours is modest and highlights natural parts of your face. Some women go overboard trying to look like cartoons.
I really like your comment. I also don`t like make-up. My wife almost never wears it unless for special occasions like 3-4 times a year. I had already seen her without makeup and on our first date she did have make-up. I didn`t like it very much, and don`t like it still. But the idea of her going to the effort to put make up on for our date showed effort. What makes your comment even better is that since about a year I have been starting to figure out if I myself might be autistic. If I am (no official diagnosis but pretty much everything points in that direction) it is fun to know someone else has the same thing. I don`t like the look of makeup. Especially if you can really see the foundation on their faces. And it is really obvious how much they have on.
@@sconnection I always found obvious foundation so disgusting, it's a waste of money really, that could be the sushi budget but nah they have to be spending it on the parts of makeup that don't even make them hotter.
I wore makeup every day in high school. My mom was a big reason for that. If I had a visible blemish, I could not leave the house without her trying to cover it. She said she was trying to prevent me from being bullied, but then she was the only one picking at my appearance. Generally, though, I've always felt that I'm pretty. I only felt that I had to do up my makeup and hair in a certain way for my mom. In college, when I was living away from home, I started cutting back on makeup and now I rarely wear makeup. I'm happier. Less time spent on makeup in the morning means more time for morning prayer, making a healthy breakfast, reading, or just thinking about the dreams I had that night or the plans I have for the day, or more time to sleep in if desired. Also less time spent on makeup means less time in front of a mirror which helps me to focus less on myself and worry less about how I appear to others.
I find it weird that there’s a debate over makeup… I mean why? I’m a mom of two and have no time for makeup and just can’t be bothered. I’m bare faced most of the time but it’s fun to doll up a bit on date nights and on fun girl outings without the kids. I don’t see an issue here… wear it sometimes or always or never, who cares?
Yes, thank-you!! I feel like this debate is positioning the discussion as only a wrong or right perspective. It shouldn't be either. The real concern is if someone's self esteem is low. Regardless of whether to wear makeup or not. That's the real issue.
Nobody ever gets on TV without make-up. Not just actresses, but everybody, men and women, have make-up on on television. If you're ever invited to appear on a tv show, you will get make-up, whether you like it or not. That's because studio lights will make every little dimple look like the grand canyon.
Also they will looked washed out b/c of lighting. See it all the time in pro wreslting. Practically all of rhem are spray tanned like crazy. Except Sheamus, who looks like a GHOST w/o it. Everyone else IRL is fricken orange overgrown pumpkins.
I said no. The face-painter got upity and she too said "everyone has to". I said no again and then ignored her. Didn't wear make up on TV. Stand up for yourself.
@@danielcarvalho1453nah dw the ‘Christian’ your responding to commented on misha’s channel like 71 times and loves to hate on people, im right leaning and Christian but wow
Yesterday I saw a girl in the street with a radiant white skin. It was like shining even in daylight. And I didn’t dare to give her a compliment because I was afraid that it’s „not okay“ to make a compliment on white skincolour! How ridiculous I was!
This generation has no idea how to take a compliment and become extremely confused about it, at least in my area. They think every comment is romantic, it's so weird.
I never used to wear make up but I started wearing it after my husband said he likes it when I do make up and dress up. Doing make up is a girly thing. Just like dressing up is a girly thing. And he likes it when I wear jewerly lol
I didn’t see anyone in that debate that represented the ‘happy medium’ of wearing just a little bit of makeup for a natural look. Concealer to cover imperfections, a little blush, a little mascara and some lip gloss. I feel when people think “women wearing makeup” they’re thinking RUclips beauty influencer with cake face but I don’t see a huge percentage of women walking around with that degree of it. I also don’t see tons of women going completely bare faced. Most are in the middle, just using a bit of makeup to enhance and it’s probably barely noticeable. Especially as we age, I think this is the path most women choose. Nothing wrong with any of these - cake face, minimal or bare - but I only saw the two extremes represented in that debate.
Stop treating guys who SAY they are women like women. We ought to be strongly, not rudely, pointing out all the time that they are just men, because that’s what they are. Validating insanity is extremely dangerous.
@@josettekaiser7622 It’s not just random people I care about, it’s society. Letting people ‘just live their lives’, in insanity and delusion is wrong and pandering to that illusion is worse. Your whole attitude is wishy-washy, the soft underbelly of not wanting to point out what is right. Perversity and delusion is what you are inadvertently rubber-stamping if you do not stand against it.
Remember, the secret of beauty is "simplicity". Moreover, wearing tons of makeup daily can be very bad for your face. Because you don't let your skin breathe and all the chemical substances of the makeup will be trapped in pores. I understand that some women have insecurities with some traits of their faces (such as acne, scars, freckles, etc...) and, for them, makeup can be a way to cover it. They're free to do whatever they want with their face, but it's completely normal to have these physical traits. Anyone can have freckles, anyone can have scars on their face, anyone gets old at a certain age... And it's completely natural, and that's what makes every individual special.
Yes some of their facial features, like thin and sparse eyebrows. It is not considered beautiful that's why they use makeup to fill up brows and thicken it because that is what's considered the beauty standard
Misha I love what you do......I have respect for the younger generation and how so many are being misled into all the wrong ideology. Teaching them to NOT follow the trends and be a trend setter is a great example.
what people dont get: if you wear make up every day, people will assume thats your face (wrongly). The one time you dont wear it, you look sick. If you never wear it, people will assume thats your face (rightfully) and the one time you DO wear it, theyll be blown away ('wow she cleans up nice!'). One has only negatives, while the other only positives. Pick your choice.
@@bunnyluv288 because in the majority of situations its not about enjoying it, its about others enjoying it so we enjoy it as a consequence. ( as feeling of being admired/accepted). I am a women ( i never used make up in my life) and i can tell that more than half of the women who use make up, do it to impress ( men and women alike), even if they do it unconsciously, they want to look better, and its absolutely NOT for themselves, its because they want to belong within the beauty standards ( which they also have because its a societal and cultural idea). So no, in the majority of times is about others not about a certain kind of expression. i am not saying that is your case, i don´t know honestly, but people take more into account what happens more ofter than not.
@@dianareis9624 I understand that many use it simply to "look better", but I still think that makeup is far too demonised. I genuinely really enjoy doing my makeup to express myself, and I know that it's had a positive impact on me overall. As such, I think it's really a shame that the societal perception of it is so negative due to the way it's frequently marketed, and would argue that societal beauty standards and the impact marketing has on women are the issues, rather than makeup itself and the wearing of it.
@@bunnyluv288 I do understand what you are saying, and I also agree on the fact that we shouldn't demonise something Just Because of the bad use of that specific something. I also agree on the fact, like I said before, that the expectation of social beauty standards ( according on your culture) can impact negatively one's perception about make up. Now the thing is... Why was make up invented? It was for People to look better. Why do People wanted to look better? Because they wanted that admiration and respect and envy, and all other sentiments from others. Why? For an ego burst. The same still happens now. There is another perspective on this, the artístic perspective. Basically what you Just said. Make up can be used, to convey an emotion, a story, a picture, art. The difference is, one is about expressing something artístic, the other is about ego. And the problem starts when someone chooses to use make up to look better rather Than to express, only because it makes you a slave of others acceptance. But thats Just my opinion
I love makeup! It makes me look mature. I also love no makeup! but I look like a kid. It depends on how you feel on that day and where I'm going to. Like Opera house? or just convenient store. In Japan there's something traditional base called Mitsurou, made of Tsubaki oil and bee wax. Your skin is actually better after this makeup lol. But I wouldn't impulse my opinion of my preference on others. My grandma looks like Yoda from Starwars, and she is super happy with wrinkles and proud of her old age. I still see her as beautiful! Let's not get addicted to constantly buying but let's also enjoy! while being proud of our ethnical origin! and love our natural features!
Best comment in this section by far! The lack of likes you got is a pity of our todays society overrun with Bias and fake morality ripping apart our western traditions. DOMO ARIGATO!
@@Markbenwisch Wow! You know how to say thank you in Japanese in such polite form! Domo arigatou to you too! I guess as we age, we will find our own personalized balance on everything. And, I'm proud of starting to look just like my mother as I age. I will continue enjoying both make up and no-make up.
I’ve never seen anything wrong with saying “I love your skin color/shade” because people have preferences, and just because they like your complexion doesn’t mean they’re gonna go and attempt a race change or anything. That’s the crazy group. I’ve always thought that a warm chocolatey skin tone is gorgeous, but I’m not trying to become anyone’s race or color 💀 I just think it’s beautiful. People need to learn to take a compliment.
Honestly the sole reason I don’t wear makeup is because I never learned. I was to anxious to go to school with makeup not done correctly. And I ALWAYS thought it was done poorly. So I just stuck with my natural face. And I’m actually okay with that. I would love to try a good makeup look someday, but until then I’m okay. If you wanna wear makeup, cool! If not, also cool! We should honestly all just be chill and vibe 👍 Love you Misha and love you’re videos!
What you said about aging in embracing all stages of life is really beautiful. I’m glad you can see that at your age because I think you are going to appreciate your life so much and I’m very happy for you but I also hope the people who watch your videos can be inspired to take that same attitude.
It's horrifying to see girls as young as 12 wearing false eyelashes, cardi b nails, crop tops, and other revealing clothing while they twerk to WAP and sing along to songs like Pound Town. The sexualization of women, ESPECIALLY underage girls, is atrocious and absolutely disgusting. Society is grooming girls to give it all away before they even get to high school.
I grew up with no interest in makeup and I never learnt how to put it on. Till this day I don't wear makeup because I can't be asked how to learn to put on a full face of makeup 😅 last time I wore makeup was for my prom and to me it felt unnatural and uncomfortable 😂 but overall to each person their own
Yes. Less is more. As a gentleman I observe that there are so many women out there that ruin their faces. Beauty is in the flaws. Imperfection IS Perfection.
As a woman, a mixed/black woman at that, I can attest there is no privilege like pretty privilege. I've lived both sides of that coin thanks to having been an awkward teenager and significant weight loss in my mid 30s--and it's remarkable how differently both men & women treat you when you present as a 4 vs an 8. So I empathize with why so many younger ladies pile on the cosmetics, even though that often backfires.
@@psychegoddessoflight9358 No but Americans do it wrong (as usual). European women and especially *French* women, do it right. Make-up is NOT supposed to "repaint" your entire face. it's supposed to correct *minor* skin issues (like a local rash or a mini-wrinkle), no more no less. Anything beyond that suffocates the skin (making it look sick / yellowish) and hides face mobility (like when you smile).
@@psychegoddessoflight9358But who's to say that all people will treat you that way? And shouldn't we try to be bringing naturality back instead of defeatedly submitting to an unrealistic/unnecessary standard?
Imperfection is Perfektion..... what rubbish is this? You find women in wheelchairs attractive? Or do you prefer women getting bald with less teeth and natural eyeshadows? So what does that comment actually mean? Lemme guess, a beautyful girls with freckles.
When ppl say "makeup" they think "drag queen" but for the majority of women like myself makeup is concealer, a tinted moisturizer, mascara, and a tinted lip balm. That's barely anything and most of it is so sheer that all it's doing is basically moisturizing my face and has an SPF to prevent skin cancer. Ppl need to chill and live and let live. Honestly as long as the only ppl wearing makeup are women and stage performers then idgaf. I don't like them pushing normie guys to wear makeup tho. That's weird.
My sister (God rest her soul) literally would not leave the house without makeup on, her hair done up, and the perfect outfit to go with it. Compare to me who just rolls out of bed, washes face, combs hair, and throws on clothes 😂
I started wearing makeup at 14. Off and on, I would wear a full face every day because I was really insecure about myself. When I was about 16, I went two whole months without makeup, and I learned to feel more confident. Plus, I did sports, so I really didn't need to wear it so much. Now at 19 and starting college tomorrow, I'm much more confident in my skin, and I don't wear makeup. I had this conversation with my youngest sister the other day about makeup. I think it's a personal thing, and I think that if you really want to move away from makeup, you have to start taking better care of your skin first. I don't think anyone should be bullied for wearing makeup, but it's a personal thing/and or something your parents should decide on. I don't regret wearing makeup from such a young age, because it taught me vital life lessons, and how to be more confident in my skin. Your skin tells others how you've lived, scars and all. Wrinkles just show how full your life was, and how much joy you've experienced. I think that's why my mom allowed me to wear makeup at such a young age, because she knew I would learn something about myself by using it. Thanks mom!
My mom didn't allow me to wear makeup until I started doing theater performances as a preteen, and even then what makeup I did wear was for costuming not everyday activity (which by then was my choice.) I also wasn't allowed to have any form of social media until I was in my late teens (about seventeen or so). A lot of other women assume that those sorts of restrictions must have been incredibly stifling, but I honestly think they did a world of good for me as I've never really seen makeup as a necessity. I think it's fun to play around with, sure, but I also don't feel pressured to wear it in order to meet some sort of expectation or compete with others.
I think it’s odd and in a way predatory the way makeup is advertised to young girls. I remember growing up there was always children’s makeup sets, scented lipgloss and eyeliner, and makeup making kits. I was never into them growing up but I do think it’s weird how we teach young girls they need to strive to be beautiful and appealing to men, it’s so weird and to me feels like the sexualization of kids. Same with beauty pageants and stuff, why do you care so much about how young girls look? There’s also a point to be made about how insecure all these girls are. I don’t know if it used to be this way but walk into any high school or middle school before the day starts and the bathroom is probably filled with girls quickly doing their makeup because they’re self conscious, it’s so sad.
Well right at that age girls are entering puberty. Many of them got acne, I was one of them. And I was bullied for it. You feel disgusting in your own body, the way people look at you like you aren’t clean. You are the most insecure at that age, so I don’t blame girls for wanting to wear makeup to avoid the rude comments and stares. It would be much better if kids didn’t bully each other for having natural puberty symptoms, but that’s not how the world is.
Reading this I imagined commercials about some cream for your body and there's a model that looks fantastic while applying it... If that's your reference, then no... We are not "perfection" the way that you describe it.
misha i’ve noticed you changing the filter and wearing less makeup and it’s made me feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. and you still look wonderful 🩷
Dear girls and women, I only use makeup 💄 for special occasions and only for my eyes 👀 and lips 💋 but in my jobs working with children and teenagers I never wear make-up and I try to be a good role model. I'm over 30 years old right now and people think I'm 20 something without makeup because I never used much of that chemical stuff. Listen to Misha, use less or nothing of it. You will have a wonderful skin and a much younger looks than ladies in your peer groups. And dear boys and men, Just don't watch corn. You'll get segsual problems for the future. Mark our words y'all and thank Misha and me later 💋 😘 💋 😘
it is so crazy to hear this convo because when I was in high school my family was very conservative on the makeup thing. Which I found so crazy because I thought why do they not want me to be prettier? My other friends mothers wouldn’t let them leave the house without makeup. I don’t think they necessarily did the right thing but I am grateful for it. Now I feel so bad for the girls who grew up like my friends. They were so beautiful but they were made to feel bad about their natural face.
as a man, when I see a woman with too much make up, a half green / half pink hair style, a nose ring, tattoos, long witchy nails, I am deeply disgusted. most men would gladly wife up an Amish woman.
I am a no-makeup-enjoyer, but I know of many men who do like it. However, most recognize that the wrong make-up can be worse than none, and very few actually prefer heavy makeup. Interestingly, women tend to feel much more attached to makeup than men, and often find it hard to believe that many men don't actually like it.
I do like that ‘clean girl” fresh makeup, where you still look like yourself, and just enhance your natural features. I don’t think it should be a crutch to feel secure though. I just kind of go based on how I feel, some days I want to wear and other days I don’t. A healthy place is when you could feel good either way. Even the makeup itself can be external validation for some people which isn’t fixing the root of the problem and insecurities.
I don’t wear makeup every day, but I will on special occasions such as interviews, first dates, gala events, etc. I see it as the same as dressing up or curling your hair. There is some wisdom in wanting to put your best foot forward and like with a well-fitted garb, makeup can be used to enhance your natural features and distract from areas that maybe don’t look as great such as blotchy skin, etc. And I, personally, do think a little makeup can go a long way in making someone look more put-together or boost their confidence a bit. However, I agree that if you can’t leave your house without makeup, that’s an issue. I have friends like that. I also don’t like heavy makeup on women. I’ve seen so many women who are genuinely beautiful and I think would look much better if they wiped off a few layers. But, hey! If it makes them happy, who cares?
I only wear powder foundation and blush, and maybe mascara or eyeshadow some days. My parents tell me I should wear more, but I just don't really want to. I don't feel like I look like myself if I have too much on and I feel even more uncomfortable than if I had none on at all
I remember only ever having crushes on girls that didn't wear makeup and that had a chill attitude. It's like how a hoodie is way sexier than anything stereotypically sexy for women.
I like the fact that Misha herself is not wearing even a single layer of makeup. Btw, the red dot(maybe a pimple) on her chin makes her look so real and cute❤
My ex was such a lovely and good hearted girl but she had issues for sure. She would wake up before me, put on makeup and get into bed to wake up again with me. When I told her she doesn't need to do this, it offended her , so I never brought it up again. She didn't need to do it but she choose to do it. To each his own I guess.
Thing is a lot of the guys who are like “I don’t like women who wear makeup” are the same guys who expect a woman to look like a perfect instagram model 24/7. It’s like she can’t wear makeup but she also need to have perfect flawless skin, full pink lips, big eyes and thick eyelashes. Sorry to burst your bubble but no woman actually looks like that naturally.
Yeah, and they're the same(or similar) type of guys who think that beards and/or muscles define masculinity, and they also think that all women are attracted to that. Makeup, beards, muscle mass, hair extensions, mustaches aren't "needed"...they're tools used to enhance what's already there.
Thanks for talking about this. In reality there is seriously a different type of attractive that comes with makeup, it's an art thats been developed to change the way a person's features are perceived. I understand and appreciate the attraction of a developed look like that but women are beautiful in general to me as a man so I need to decide some standards. A woman that is confident in how she presents herself because she is groomed well and understands herself is kind of top tier for me. I have things I'm personally attracted to but being well groomed and dressed will make me much more inclined to be interested
@15:49 regarding children wearing makeup, as a kindergarten educator, I had a 6 year old come to school a couple of times w/ mascara and eyeshadow on. I asked if she was going somewhere special, she said no and that her mom had put it on her so she would look "pretty". Her mom didn't even wear makeup everyday. I didn't want to praise it because I didn't want her to think she looked "not pretty" w/ out it, but I didn't want to condemn it either. So I said nothing. Luckily, it wasn't an everyday occurrence. It was just strange. My mom freaked out if I used kid's makeup at that age.
Men who say I prefer 'natural beauty': What you think is 'natural beauty' often involves removing dark bags, making minor technical improvements to skin color, and employing various other appearance enhancement techniques. Scientifically, it has already been proven that men perceive a woman with makeup as not heavily made-up due to makeup tricks. Men claim to appreciate 'natural beauty' because they imagine a woman with makeup that appears untouched. However, this perception is often mistaken, as the woman is actually wearing makeup but in a more subtle manner. What may seem like effortless or no makeup, highlighting natural beauty, actually entails hours of meticulous work. I personally choose not to wear makeup because I prioritize important aspects of my life. When I wake up early, it's usually to prepare for university exams at five in the morning. During this time, makeup isn't a priority for me, and I won't sacrifice extra sleep to apply it. I am fortunate to have lecturers who opt not to wear makeup, and their choice has significantly influenced my perspective.
I think whether someone does or doesn’t want to wear makeup is okay. I put on to make me feel a bit more confident since I have pimples (and I realize that foundation can make skin bad).
use honey, they will stop itching and in a few days the redness will be gone. its antideptic, antibacteric, and it helps moisten your skin. You can wear it during the day if you wish, or apply it before going to sleep. Its also perfect for any scar (fresher is best, but also old scars can be helped) as it prevents bad scarring (especially with acne)
@@Apostate_ofmind I do believe honey would be good for Monday people. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to bees. I out honey on my face and I got a red rash 😂 I was so freaked out, because I’ve eaten honey and been fine. It’s just how my skins works I guess?
@@samanthajeffers9339 nooo! thats so unfortunate 😭 was it pure honey? i heard in some places they sell honey without it being actual honey but a corn syrup lookalike. Actually you could try pure corn syrup, it might not have all the beneficial properties, but its close! The main thing that makes honey so goid is its concentration of sugars which kills bacteria (and why it doesnt spoil until its diluted)
I remember being younger when mom or the sisters would use the phrase "I need to go put on my face". One issue is the way we give very young girls the wrong impression about makeup such that we make it a fun thing at such a young age they don't really know any whys behind it. Then it becomes habit and they notice how it affects others around them, and then they feel insecure because they were 'trained' to be insecure by starting too young. This also manipulates how boys see girls such that they acquire the sense that girls are not pretty unless they are wearing makeup.

Misha, you're having my mindset, I swear! My mommy is very similar to yours and that's so wholesome! I was taught to not use make-up, but now when I'm all grown up lady, I use it sometimes just because it's fun! Just like you, I like to put it on and hate to put it off! I still have a cute baby face, but I swear, when I'll grow older, I'm gonna be a caring babushka (grandma) and I'm gonna love my wrinkles! And I cannot keep myself from pinting out that you're very beautiful lady without make-up! So refreshing to see such natural beauty...
Too much importance and emphasis is placed on looks, especially in the United States. They do go to extremes to value looks and youth. I'm in my early 30s and I know that my youth won't last. Looks do matter in attracting someone, but it isn't the most important thing in life.
Thank you Misha for this explanation. As a man I am growing about this. I said to my fiancé that she was perfect and didn’t need makeup which is true and its really how I feel, but she should do what makes her feel good. She is deeply affected by society standards and thinks she has to be perfect in every way. Im slowly working on her to bring her in touch with who she is which is way better than what shes aspires too. What’s strange is she’s a well published scientist MD PHD. One would think she should not compare herself to instagram models, which she constantly tries to become.
When i was in high school, i was TERRIFIED to leave the house without makeup. I would wake up early for school so that I could do my hair and makeup before. I am 25 now and i mourn for younger me. these days, i only ever wear makeup and do my hair when i have a reason. Obviously, I take pride in my appearance and hygiene, but makeup is hardly ever on my radar anymore. I wish i could go back and hug younger me and tell her she is beautiful just the way she is. I am honored to age and i fall more in love with who i am becoming every day.
I started wearing makeup daily because of my severe acne. Now that it’s gone, it’s hard to stop. Makeup is so expensive and I wish to stop wearing it so often but acne destroyed my self esteem.
i clicked on your pfp, thinking i'd see someone who isn't objectively attractive. i was disappointed 😂 i can't possibly imagine you being insecure omg, you're so pretty!!! 💝
A friend who is very positive and looks young for his age, said this quote... "Makeup for women is like beards for men". Now, even though I do agree with him on most things and we get along well...I disagree with him here. I think that makeup and beards...is neither bad nor good. It is a *tool* that can be used to enhance your facial features and how you look. Taking it to either extreme is unneccessary, in my opinion. If women want to wear makeup or not wear any...great! Do you and be confident with it. If men want to have facial hair or be clean shaven...awesome! If you can pull it off and it makes you feel good, then go for it. We're all going to age someday....even with it being possible for people to use photo-enhancing, filters, and AI to cover up how they truly look. With that being said, nobody is young for ever, and looks won't matter when we're all eventually six feet under. Great video Misha. You're a beautiful woman with a beautiful mind, and I'm subscribing.
I like a woman who wears natural looking makeup instead of looking like you're putting on your war paint on your face - no dark red lipstick or raccoon eyes
My ex boyfriend got mad at me because I didnt wear a full face of makeup to go to restaurant(not even a fancy restaurant literally some random place round the corner). I had some mascara and lipgloss on. I don’t wear any makeup on the daily anyway. Safe to say he is an EX
Eventually comes the moment of truth, when he sees her with no makeup. If the difference is too big, it is all over. If she is lying about her face, she will be lying about everything else. Men hate taking off a woman makeup too, particularly with their clothes or their lips. But that is a man's opinion. Women wear makeup to impress other women.
On the topic of men saying "you don't need makeup," the vast majority of straight men have no idea what they're looking at when it comes to a "natural" makeup look. In reality, they want subtle, natural-looking make-up that is just as many steps as an obvious full face of makeup and I think that's why women find it annoying when men say that
I've had severe hormonal acne for a while because of health issues. I'm receiving medical treatment, I'm taking every pill needed (some are quite expensive), I'm trying my best to improve overall health condition to live a better life. Yet no one looking at me thinks that I'm doing everything possible to cure acne, they just see really bad skin. I am kinda used to it by now though, healing would take up to a year, and after that there will be noticeable scars anyway. Properly chosen foundation doesn't make my acne worse since it's deeply under skin, so I've grown a little bit addicted to makeup. Although my face has pleasant-looking proportions (some people have even called me very beautiful before all this), acne is considered ugly, thus, no-makeup me is ugly. At least that's what the majority thinks, I suppose... But things change if I'm wearing makeup, the attention gets drawn away from imperfections. So I'd rather be seen as a pretty girl with too heavy makeup, than an ugly girl with somewhat nice features and disgusting skin. Not all that is natural is beautiful.
I got mistaken for a lost child by a police officer outside a restaurant once for not wearing make-up; I was twenty-six. 😂 That aside, I find it ironic that women calling out toxic behaviors in some women or having a harmless opinion is considered "pick me" behavior but bashing men and women who are "problematic" for attention and validation isn't. This seems to be the case for many groups nowadays, tbh.
Feminists are aggressive and masculine this drives men away. they wear makeup and sexy clothes that makes men think that they are desperate. (because they are) these types of women are the original "pick me" girls. but they will not be picked. a natural woman in her femininity can just go to where the men are and get picked. what men know but will not say "men love women who wear make up, it is good that the desperate women can be easily identified."
3:35 LOL Misha I’m not going to lie, I didn’t notice this until you pointed it out, but the TikTok is hilariously accurate. We’re all either “hot Russian singles” or “babushkas”! Now I’m a little scared to age 😂😂
I think a lot of women who are very vocal about being against makeup are naturally very pretty and don’t like other women being able to enhance their appearance with makeup.
I mostly use makeup when I go out (I go out very little, explanation later) for a little confidence boost. I do not go full glam or anything. But definitely use some powder for my face, some concealer under my eyes, fill my eyebrows lightly and do my eyes and lips. No contour, blush or fake lashes or any of that stuff. To some this might sound as much, but it is just some basics. I do my eyes (concealer under my eyes, a bit of eyeliner & mascara) because I can look very tired without this makeup (again, explanation later in this message) and do my lips because they almost have the same color as my skin. The reason I use makeup is mostly because I am in a wheelchair and people (in my experience and where I live) often look at wheelchair users (not all of them) as not very well put together. So I like to present myself decently. I do my eyes because I look quite tired without eye makeup since the excruciating pain my diseases bring, cause me to hardly sleep. I’m lucky if I sleep 2 hours or a little more per 24h. So that causes pretty tired looking eyes. And because the little sleep and excruciating pain cause extreme tiredness, I don’t go out much, because I simply don’t have the energy. I can’t even work, so going out doesn’t even happen every week. But at home with my husband, I never wear makeup. Except when I/we go out. And then take it off at the end of the day (or when I get home). I hate taking makeup off too! It’s such a hassle. Putting it on is way more fun! Like Misha used to do, I would love to do my makeup just for fun and take it off again, if I had the energy. But often that is even too much. I usually take it slow when putting makeup on, otherwise that can exhaust me before going out the door. So yeah, I use it as a confidence boost. But if I have the energy for a quick (well, especially short in my case) errand close to home, I don’t always put makeup on. And I like when the sun shines, so I can put on my sunglasses, so I don’t seem so tired, lol. Again, I just prefer to present myself well, look put together. So maybe I am doing it for other people. But not for some people in particular. Not for men, since I am already married, not to “compete” with women. Just to look decent ☺️. Sorry for the long rant, if anyone finishes it 😅😂.
I think the reason nobody took the first girl seriously was because she was very attractive. If she don't uses makeup but uses other means of enhancement (microblading, microneedling, lash extensions) then she is a hypocrite. And if she indeed looks like that naturally, then she benefits from pretty privileges and isn't in any position to tell other less attractive women what to do.
I’m sorry but I disagree. I think the other women look beautiful as well. Their features are just different. As someone who almost never wears make up…I’ve noticed that my skin looks healthier and sometimes other people can’t tell if I wear foundation or some other stuff. It’s a combination of genetics, lifestyle, basic skin care, mindset, etc. Beauty is subjective. Not everyone likes my features or personality but they are people who do. In conclusion, her opinions are valid.
@@karmaakabane4516 I think it's an optimistic mindset, but I am not of the opinion that everyone is beautiful. I think is nothing wrong with trying whenever possible to be content with what we have. But beauty, like intelligence, can be considered subjective only to a certain degree: many people simply have different forms of intelligence, but you would definitely notice when someone is above average or below average. And there would be no sense in trying to convince the bellow average person that they will have the same amount of opportunity as the above average one. I am not saying she isn't entitled to an opinion, I am saying she should be conscious of her privileges while sharing her opinion. While I am no model myself I have a very good skin, so I don't need foundation either. If I went to tell a person with severe cystic acne that they don't need foundation because I don't need it, do you see how that would be insensitive ? That's the same, except instead of just skin, it's all of her features.
I, again, respectfully disagree. Your argument seems to imply that beauty is a privilege and that a beautiful person has more opportunities in life. However, I can’t support this argument. Beautiful people do suffer as well. There are beautiful people who are insecure, some of them have even body dysmorphia thus experience huge amounts of distress daily. Beautiful people do as well commit suicide (e.g. former miss USA, K-pop idols, etc.). They do have histories of trauma and mental health issues. K-pop and Modeling industries are toxic as hell and full of sexual harassment and even worse stuff. Beautiful people are more likely to be target of sexual predators or not taken seriously because of their looks. Beautiful people don’t always end up in healthy relationships and sometimes cannot find a partner because their partner feels “not good enough” for them or because their partner is too superficial. Or because lots of people feel intimidated by them. When it comes to jobs, people, especially here in the EU care more about your skills/knowledge than anything else, and, of course, how you make people feel matters but considering attitudes in my country…it’s probably not the most important factor…. In other words, external beauty is not everything. And it is definitely not a privilege. You might argue with me “but beautiful people are treated better”. However, that’s not always the case because some people will always be jealous and drag those “more beautiful”down. Also, your degree of external “beauty” should never define your value and how you’re treated. The way people treat you shows a lot about them and not you. Your looks shouldn’t matter. There are many people out there who treat others well and with respect despite of looks or any other factors because they are just simply good people. Only superficial assholes would treat someone badly just based on their looks. Thus thank god they show their true colours so that we can avoid them.
@@karmaakabane4516 I just got insulted online by a misogynistic man, so you politeness is a breath of fresh air. Thank you :) Even if I don't quite agree with you I do believe the world would be a better place if everyone thought like you.
I only consistently wear eyeliner thats it I dont like the "feel" of stuff on my skin, so most things are out and I do have facial "imperfections" like a scar right next to my eye and the amount of freckles you'd expect from a pale redhead, but they've never bothered me (especially helps when my girlfriend says they make me prettier)
I found that most guys that say "girls don't need to wear makeup" or along the lines of that, tend to just not know that most girls they see have the no makeup, makeup look.
I like to do creative looks and it’s always done for me, not for insecurity necessarily but it’s fun to do, it’s art! Men rarely compliment my looks which is nice, it’s always women ❤ women who aren’t delulu over weird views understand art in makeup
I personally don't think make-up should be a thing. It does damage to the skin long-term, and I feel like overall sets an weird unnatural beauty standard.
as a grown adult woman, I do not wear makeup because I don't need it and it comes off. It also makes my skin super oily. I wear makeup on special occasion for weddings to look nice. All I need is concealer, mascara, eyeshadow, and on occasion, lipstick. Plus, applying makeup takes too long in the morning. Will I wear makeup to a job, idk. Please respect women if they do not choose to wear makeup. it is a personal choice everyone needs to respect.
As a man makeup is a subject I really avoid talking about. There's no win in it for men. When I genuinely say that I prefer most people without makeup, they call me a liar. Men get blamed for girls having to do makeups, but simultaneously are told that they do makeup not because of men but to make themselves feel better.
Then don't make any comments about women's appearance. Problem solved! Men often feel like they are entitled to tell women how to look while making clear that attractiveness is absolutely necessary for a girl. So just be perfect and do not try to trick anyone with your makeup! And if you're "ugly" without makeup, well, sucks to be you then.
I think this video was a missed opportunity to talk about the real issue here...is make up in the long run hurting people's self image. I would argue yes. We have become such a "filtered" society we are moving into the direction where just everyone feels ugly all the time...and what's the "solution" buy more crap. It's an endless cycle.
i wish people would talk about this with hair too. it sounds silly but it’s a lot of work and my hair does not look normal or presentable by default and it’s been a burden my whole life
I think women should do whatever they want. If they want to wear makeup, they should do it. Not for a man or anyone else, just for themselves. It's literally not that deep. I don't wear it because I personally don't like it. You do you x'D
It can be deep if you think about, if a woman look a whole different person wearing make up she is very insecure or just hate her own face, same thing with plastic surgery.
@@LarissaGomes-b7q that's definitely true, but not for me to worry about. It's a bummer some people feel the need to use makeup or plastic surgery to conceal their insecurities, but in the end that's their choice and it doesn't affect me personally.
@@OktoberJournal neither it does affect me, and since i am straight i am only attracted to men so is not my issue of dating, and i don't wear make up too for better skin. But also would like other women to stop pretending this is not a issue and social media are ruining women (even more young ones) confidence, they swear to god they dress in the most attention seek way possible, shapeshift themselves into a whole different women and do a bunch of plastic surgery and swear they are confident and are doing for themselves
I don't think they're oppressed, I think they're influenced. I've heard women say they're tired of wearing makeup. A lot of men have said, "Then don't wear makeup. You look fine without it, anyway." It's not that we're giving them validation, it's that we agree with them. The skin color part is really weird. I'm white, and I can get a tan. No one is trying to claim her brown skin.
@@susanamariapereirasoares7188 I used to get sunburn when I was a kid. I still do on my nose. But any other part of me exposed to the sun gets tan now. I personally try to stay out of the sun.
I'm a 18 year old girl and the most makeup I have put on me is mascara. The reason why is simply because I have never had any interest in make up what so ever. And I am glad I never fell for any of the insecurity bates that is used online.
There is an aid at a nursing home that when she started right after she graduated highschool this year she wore make-up everyday. Now she doesn't, and she is still a 14 out of 10 without the make-up. Most of the girls I grew up around their families didn't allow makeup, and they were still pretty. I hate seeing girls wearing so much makeup.
I live in Australia and I am a 52 male and as with most places, women wear make up here, it is not a daily thing, it is only on special occasions, not all the time. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel special from time to time. as long as does not become an obsession. It comes down to everything else with life, moderation.
I get depressed when I hear people claiming that 40 is the new 30, 50 is the new 40, and so on. The claims are painfully desperate attempts to cling to youth, and none of it's true.
@@HandgunSafe I'm not sure what you are trying to express. Growing up is necessary for society to function properly. Your smart azz response, proves my point that most adults act like children. Have a blessed day
@@BRockIITWi I would suggest working on your reading comprehension. By putting the silly remark in quotation marks, I indicated that these words did not represent my actual sentiments but that they were a parody. If you need additional explanation beyond that, I would again suggest making reading comprehension a priority.
@HandgunSafe If you are on my side, that's great, but quotations don't always mean sarcasm. They could be you putting words in my mouth sarcastically, which obviously now I know you weren't. This wouldn't be a conversation if you had made it more obvious in the first place what side your sarcasm came from, so you might want to dial back your condescending BS back a little, since you assume everyone is a mind reader, and knows what you meant. Have a blessed day
I love getting dolled up. I find makeup to be a fun and creative outlet. Sometimes I love getting dressed up for a nice event or dinner and doing a full glam, false lashes and all- makes me feel so gorgeous. That being said most days I don’t put makeup on at all. I am fine with my natural face and embrace it. I feel beautiful both ways and I like both having makeup on and not having it on. I think whatever makes you personally feel better and more comfortable with your own appearance is what you should do.
If you still can be recognized after removing your makeup, that's makeup.
If you become a completely different person after removing your makeup, that's makeover.
YES! EXCATLY! 👏
No, that's deception.
@@alabama.worley I genuinely never saw a woman that's not attractive become attractive after putting on makeup. Beauty is largely about facial proportions, symmetry and sexual dimorphism, which I learned the hard way growing up with a plastic surgeon mom, reminding me that no amount of makeup can fix your bone structure. Makeup can make a beautiful woman slightly more beautiful or clown like (if too much is applied), but not an unattractive woman beautiful, or even pleasing to the eyes. That's why I believe it's not even remotely possible makeup can be deceiving, the "huge difference" we see on before and afters is almost always due to photoshop, angles or lighting. In real life the woman would be equally attractive or unattractive and I think it would be much healthier for all of us to accept that no amount of face pain can actually change our appearance significantly.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I got make up done professionally for once and I was told I look the same as before. Guess that was good make up?
As a woman, I am perplexed with these false eyelashes' women are wearing. They look ridiculous. I use to wear a little mascara, blush and lip gloss when going out with my husband but never wore makeup to work. Beauty magazines have been grooming women for years.
You're so right. It is grooming. I canceled my Women's Health sub when the article "The 10 kinds of sex you MUST have!" ran. Random foreign guy, sex in public, sex involving food, etc. Random & casual sex ARE NOT healthy!!
They look like clowns.
My last ex-gf had them... They were not the extreme sort, but still ridiculous to have to glue fake eyelashes on your eyelids everyday. Not to mention the costs of these things. And sometimes i saw an edge come loose. I thought, what are you thinking woman, doing this everyday... And she didn't even have bad natural eyelashes herself.
As a guy, i guess i'm blessed with natural dark long and curled eyelashes. Some women admitted to be jealous of them.
Another ex-gf was very blonde and had tiny eyelashes. She didn't wear false eyelashes to hide that, but she did use mascara. And i can really understand when women use that if their eyelashes are almost invisible otherwise.
I'm not against make-up as a whole, but it's just way overused too often.Often you just see it caked on to a face. You have no idea who's underneath it (legit scary for a guy) and to me it also looks suffocating. Your skin needs to breathe!
I think those fake eyelashes are great because to me they signal "There's not much going on behind these eyes. I'm a doll, come play with me"
@@Sydebernand it causes more skin conditions like it’s not helping anything 😂
I salute anyone who feels confident enough to not wear makeup. Society needs more people like this
the ones with no make are the pretty ones. i disagree with her on one thing. if your bf/husband is telling you not to wear make up you should listen him. shouldn't it come down to what he prefers? if you don't think this way, then are you wearing make up for another man? or attention from other men?
Thank you! :) I salute you back! 🫡
I think it’s an American thing, because where I live most girls go with no makeup. I didn’t even think wearing makeup everyday was a thing.

how to have beautiful skin, avoid all vegetable oil.
when you eat vegetable oil, your body hates it so much, that it pushes it out of your skins pores.

@@eeveefag Thx
Personally, I am a big fan of makeup, I love wearing colourful eyeshadow and eyeliner to match my outfits. I'm not really a fan of foundation though since it's pretty bad for the skin but yeah I wouldn't shame someone for not wearing makeup and not putting myself on a pedestal for wearing it 👌🏻
YES!!! There are some days where I’m like ehhh don’t want to today feels kinda like a waste of time. Other times, it’s like OOOOOO THIS WOULD LOOK EPICCC WITH MY OUTFIT but I myself just use a bit of touch up for a “foundation”, or just none of that at all! This contouring stuff and all that jazz honestly seems super tedious and I already like to do eyeliner designs which can sometimes take a decent bit to do depending on the day, my mood, and if I’m doing something SUPER professional/formal such as attending an important meeting or going to work
The irony is that this is the genesis of the body positivity movement. It was about embracing natural beauty and acceptance of those that have physical deformities like birth defects or amputees. God knows how it ended up being taken over by the whales but i fully support a revival of the OG movement.
You act as if birth defects, deformities, skin conditions like vitaligo, or amputees, are any more attractive than obese women. It's all unattractive to the majority of straight men and trying to force, compel, or shame men into "what's considered attractive" is a bad move, no matter what.
...Even though that's why skinny women are seen as attractive in the modern day and Rubenesque women were seen as attractive hundreds of years ago, because "health" may be a factor in physical attraction, but you can rarely tell one's health by their looks; it has more to do with socioeconomic status and class more than anything. Fatness used to be a sign of wealth hundreds of years ago; nowadays being fit and skinny is a sign of wealth, while being overweight is a sign of being working class/poor.
So really, the whole "being thin is a sign of good health, that's why it's sexy" take is complete bullshit too, the "Body Positivity movement did the same thing, in the inverse, saying "being 300+ pounds as a 5'3 woman is a sign of health cause it means you're not anorexic." Both sides are wrong, and beauty standards are determined by the socionomic health standards at the time.
Which is why it's usually ONLY upper middle class and wealthy men attracted to skinny women. Working class, black, and Hispanic men are attracted to thicker women for the same 'health/class' reasons.
TL;DR: How wealthy you grew up and where you lived, determines physical attraction, not the fashion industry or any body positivity movements. Sorry for writing a whole book here.
@@MarvinPowell1 There's thick and there's fat. Also, you can control fat, you can't control birth defects. No matter what you do, you still have the same problem. If you're fat, you can lose weight. If you're too skinny, you can gain weight. Also, again, thick or voluptuous women don't need to make men be attracted to them, they're already attractive. It's fat women that have that problem. Lastly, no man wants an anorexic woman. That problem is one created by and pushed by women. If women just stuck to trying to maintain a shape men find attractive, they'd be a lot healthier than they would be following female trends
@@MarvinPowell1 I think you missed the whole point. The original body positivity movement wasn't about forcing or coercing people to find amputees or those with birth defects attractive. It was about accepting them for who they were and pushing back against some of the stigmatisation that went along with there conditions.
@@MarvinPowell1What the person means is that body positivity is meant for people where a specific trait is out of their control. For example amputees, chemo patients/alopecia, burn victims, stretch marks, scars, etc. It’s mot meant for people that are obese due to lifestyle choices and parade around that it’s out of their control or they push it onto others.
The "it is so bad for you" stuck out for me. As a teen, I would try to wear makeup like every other young teen, and I would wind up with an eczema like rash (or breakouts). I tried out probably 12 different brands, and gave up by the time I hit 18. My friends would dabble in artistic use of make up (theater, Halloween outfits--very cool!), and I just couldn't. Wearing it for fun, for special events, cool. But I do get really worried about daily use of makeup over decades of life.
Thanks for the video post! Very informative to me. :)

I enjoy the process of applying makeup and playing around with different eye looks and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It just becomes a problem when u rely on it to feel better about yourself to the point u can never go outside or feel confident without it
What if people treat me badly when I don't wear makeup?
Agreed!
My eyeshadow can barely be visible, like let me wear it I just got good
When my wife and I were first dating, we had just gotten back to her place and she asked me if her makeup was ok. I said, “I actually don’t like makeup as it messes with my eyes”. I’m autistic so looking people in the face was hard enough, with makeup it was worse. I expected to get yelled at, but no… she shouted “YES!” And explained that she didn’t like putting it on. She hasn’t put makeup on in a few years. Honestly she looks better without it.
See most men like a happy medium. The way you do yours Misha is great. Yours is modest and highlights natural parts of your face. Some women go overboard trying to look like cartoons.
Yeah if they start to look like a Bratz doll then its a little too much makeup
I really like your comment. I also don`t like make-up. My wife almost never wears it unless for special occasions like 3-4 times a year. I had already seen her without makeup and on our first date she did have make-up. I didn`t like it very much, and don`t like it still. But the idea of her going to the effort to put make up on for our date showed effort.
What makes your comment even better is that since about a year I have been starting to figure out if I myself might be autistic. If I am (no official diagnosis but pretty much everything points in that direction) it is fun to know someone else has the same thing. I don`t like the look of makeup. Especially if you can really see the foundation on their faces. And it is really obvious how much they have on.
@@sconnection I always found obvious foundation so disgusting, it's a waste of money really, that could be the sushi budget but nah they have to be spending it on the parts of makeup that don't even make them hotter.
I wore makeup every day in high school. My mom was a big reason for that. If I had a visible blemish, I could not leave the house without her trying to cover it. She said she was trying to prevent me from being bullied, but then she was the only one picking at my appearance. Generally, though, I've always felt that I'm pretty. I only felt that I had to do up my makeup and hair in a certain way for my mom.
In college, when I was living away from home, I started cutting back on makeup and now I rarely wear makeup. I'm happier. Less time spent on makeup in the morning means more time for morning prayer, making a healthy breakfast, reading, or just thinking about the dreams I had that night or the plans I have for the day, or more time to sleep in if desired. Also less time spent on makeup means less time in front of a mirror which helps me to focus less on myself and worry less about how I appear to others.
dang sorry your mom made you feel that way, 99% of people don't care if you have a pimple or a few they are worried about their own problems
I find it weird that there’s a debate over makeup… I mean why? I’m a mom of two and have no time for makeup and just can’t be bothered. I’m bare faced most of the time but it’s fun to doll up a bit on date nights and on fun girl outings without the kids. I don’t see an issue here… wear it sometimes or always or never, who cares?
Yes, thank-you!! I feel like this debate is positioning the discussion as only a wrong or right perspective. It shouldn't be either. The real concern is if someone's self esteem is low. Regardless of whether to wear makeup or not. That's the real issue.
i agree! each to their own, nobody needs to judge others for their choices :))
Exactly.
That's god. A rational person!

Nobody ever gets on TV without make-up. Not just actresses, but everybody, men and women, have make-up on on television. If you're ever invited to appear on a tv show, you will get make-up, whether you like it or not. That's because studio lights will make every little dimple look like the grand canyon.
Also they will looked washed out b/c of lighting. See it all the time in pro wreslting. Practically all of rhem are spray tanned like crazy. Except Sheamus, who looks like a GHOST w/o it. Everyone else IRL is fricken orange overgrown pumpkins.

Yesterday I saw a girl in the street with a radiant white skin. It was like shining even in daylight. And I didn’t dare to give her a compliment because I was afraid that it’s „not okay“ to make a compliment on white skincolour! How ridiculous I was!
This generation has no idea how to take a compliment and become extremely confused about it, at least in my area. They think every comment is romantic, it's so weird.
it’s ok if you compliments it because it’s healthy
Make up is fine, but i do like women who dont wear it. Definitely dont like women who wear huge amounts daily.
Same. Just screams high maintenance.
I never used to wear make up but I started wearing it after my husband said he likes it when I do make up and dress up. Doing make up is a girly thing. Just like dressing up is a girly thing. And he likes it when I wear jewerly lol
i like mascara bc it’s pretty but i don’t totally understand wearing much more than that
Minimal Make up is fine.
i am fine with makeup aslong as its not with animal testing.
I didn’t see anyone in that debate that represented the ‘happy medium’ of wearing just a little bit of makeup for a natural look. Concealer to cover imperfections, a little blush, a little mascara and some lip gloss. I feel when people think “women wearing makeup” they’re thinking RUclips beauty influencer with cake face but I don’t see a huge percentage of women walking around with that degree of it. I also don’t see tons of women going completely bare faced. Most are in the middle, just using a bit of makeup to enhance and it’s probably barely noticeable. Especially as we age, I think this is the path most women choose. Nothing wrong with any of these - cake face, minimal or bare - but I only saw the two extremes represented in that debate.
Married to the same woman for 40 years, she has never worn makeup. I ❤️ her just natural. Oh yes forgot to mention wife is a babushka now.
It's getting extreme when people who are only 30 and still have a lot of life to live are already calling themselves "old".

@@SilverSurfer5150 I value community over my opinions. This world doesn't need any more division, and I see that.
Remember, the secret of beauty is "simplicity".
Moreover, wearing tons of makeup daily can be very bad for your face. Because you don't let your skin breathe and all the chemical substances of the makeup will be trapped in pores.
I understand that some women have insecurities with some traits of their faces (such as acne, scars, freckles, etc...) and, for them, makeup can be a way to cover it. They're free to do whatever they want with their face, but it's completely normal to have these physical traits. Anyone can have freckles, anyone can have scars on their face, anyone gets old at a certain age... And it's completely natural, and that's what makes every individual special.
Yes, most of the guys I know would rather their girl not damage her skin long-term.
Yes some of their facial features, like thin and sparse eyebrows. It is not considered beautiful that's why they use makeup to fill up brows and thicken it because that is what's considered the beauty standard
Misha I love what you do......I have respect for the younger generation and how so many are being misled into all the wrong ideology. Teaching them to NOT follow the trends and be a trend setter is a great example.
what people dont get:
if you wear make up every day, people will assume thats your face (wrongly). The one time you dont wear it, you look sick.
If you never wear it, people will assume thats your face (rightfully) and the one time you DO wear it, theyll be blown away ('wow she cleans up nice!').
One has only negatives, while the other only positives. Pick your choice.
Or maybe I wear makeup because I genuinely enjoy it 😱 why is no one taking into account that it can be a form of expression?
@@bunnyluv288 because in the majority of situations its not about enjoying it, its about others enjoying it so we enjoy it as a consequence. ( as feeling of being admired/accepted). I am a women ( i never used make up in my life) and i can tell that more than half of the women who use make up, do it to impress ( men and women alike), even if they do it unconsciously, they want to look better, and its absolutely NOT for themselves, its because they want to belong within the beauty standards ( which they also have because its a societal and cultural idea). So no, in the majority of times is about others not about a certain kind of expression. i am not saying that is your case, i don´t know honestly, but people take more into account what happens more ofter than not.
@@dianareis9624 I understand that many use it simply to "look better", but I still think that makeup is far too demonised. I genuinely really enjoy doing my makeup to express myself, and I know that it's had a positive impact on me overall. As such, I think it's really a shame that the societal perception of it is so negative due to the way it's frequently marketed, and would argue that societal beauty standards and the impact marketing has on women are the issues, rather than makeup itself and the wearing of it.
@@bunnyluv288 I do understand what you are saying, and I also agree on the fact that we shouldn't demonise something Just Because of the bad use of that specific something. I also agree on the fact, like I said before, that the expectation of social beauty standards ( according on your culture) can impact negatively one's perception about make up. Now the thing is... Why was make up invented? It was for People to look better. Why do People wanted to look better? Because they wanted that admiration and respect and envy, and all other sentiments from others. Why? For an ego burst.
The same still happens now. There is another perspective on this, the artístic perspective. Basically what you Just said. Make up can be used, to convey an emotion, a story, a picture, art. The difference is, one is about expressing something artístic, the other is about ego. And the problem starts when someone chooses to use make up to look better rather Than to express, only because it makes you a slave of others acceptance. But thats Just my opinion
@@dianareis9624 I think we're in agreement
I love makeup! It makes me look mature. I also love no makeup! but I look like a kid. It depends on how you feel on that day and where I'm going to. Like Opera house? or just convenient store. In Japan there's something traditional base called Mitsurou, made of Tsubaki oil and bee wax. Your skin is actually better after this makeup lol. But I wouldn't impulse my opinion of my preference on others. My grandma looks like Yoda from Starwars, and she is super happy with wrinkles and proud of her old age. I still see her as beautiful! Let's not get addicted to constantly buying but let's also enjoy! while being proud of our ethnical origin! and love our natural features!

If you look like a "kid"(i.e. young) without makeup, you definitely not wear it. Embrace your youthfulness, it is a good thing
I’ve never seen anything wrong with saying “I love your skin color/shade” because people have preferences, and just because they like your complexion doesn’t mean they’re gonna go and attempt a race change or anything. That’s the crazy group. I’ve always thought that a warm chocolatey skin tone is gorgeous, but I’m not trying to become anyone’s race or color 💀 I just think it’s beautiful. People need to learn to take a compliment.
For me, it was the “that I long for” part that was kinda weird lol
I had to read this comment so many times to understand it. I'm so glad I finally did.
Honestly the sole reason I don’t wear makeup is because I never learned. I was to anxious to go to school with makeup not done correctly. And I ALWAYS thought it was done poorly.
So I just stuck with my natural face. And I’m actually okay with that. I would love to try a good makeup look someday, but until then I’m okay.
If you wanna wear makeup, cool! If not, also cool! We should honestly all just be chill and vibe 👍
Love you Misha and love you’re videos!
What you said about aging in embracing all stages of life is really beautiful. I’m glad you can see that at your age because I think you are going to appreciate your life so much and I’m very happy for you but I also hope the people who watch your videos can be inspired to take that same attitude.
It's horrifying to see girls as young as 12 wearing false eyelashes, cardi b nails, crop tops, and other revealing clothing while they twerk to WAP and sing along to songs like Pound Town. The sexualization of women, ESPECIALLY underage girls, is atrocious and absolutely disgusting. Society is grooming girls to give it all away before they even get to high school.
I grew up with no interest in makeup and I never learnt how to put it on. Till this day I don't wear makeup because I can't be asked how to learn to put on a full face of makeup 😅 last time I wore makeup was for my prom and to me it felt unnatural and uncomfortable 😂 but overall to each person their own
Yes. Less is more.
As a gentleman I observe that there are so many women out there that ruin their faces.
Beauty is in the flaws.
Imperfection IS Perfection.
VERY true !
Especially American women. Waaaaaaaaaay too much make-up, it's almost plaster at this point.
As a woman, a mixed/black woman at that, I can attest there is no privilege like pretty privilege. I've lived both sides of that coin thanks to having been an awkward teenager and significant weight loss in my mid 30s--and it's remarkable how differently both men & women treat you when you present as a 4 vs an 8. So I empathize with why so many younger ladies pile on the cosmetics, even though that often backfires.
@@psychegoddessoflight9358 No but Americans do it wrong (as usual).
European women and especially *French* women, do it right.
Make-up is NOT supposed to "repaint" your entire face. it's supposed to correct *minor* skin issues (like a local rash or a mini-wrinkle), no more no less.
Anything beyond that suffocates the skin (making it look sick / yellowish) and hides face mobility (like when you smile).
@@psychegoddessoflight9358But who's to say that all people will treat you that way? And shouldn't we try to be bringing naturality back instead of defeatedly submitting to an unrealistic/unnecessary standard?
Imperfection is Perfektion..... what rubbish is this? You find women in wheelchairs attractive? Or do you prefer women getting bald with less teeth and natural eyeshadows? So what does that comment actually mean? Lemme guess, a beautyful girls with freckles.
When ppl say "makeup" they think "drag queen" but for the majority of women like myself makeup is concealer, a tinted moisturizer, mascara, and a tinted lip balm. That's barely anything and most of it is so sheer that all it's doing is basically moisturizing my face and has an SPF to prevent skin cancer.
Ppl need to chill and live and let live. Honestly as long as the only ppl wearing makeup are women and stage performers then idgaf. I don't like them pushing normie guys to wear makeup tho. That's weird.
My sister (God rest her soul) literally would not leave the house without makeup on, her hair done up, and the perfect outfit to go with it. Compare to me who just rolls out of bed, washes face, combs hair, and throws on clothes 😂
I started wearing makeup at 14. Off and on, I would wear a full face every day because I was really insecure about myself. When I was about 16, I went two whole months without makeup, and I learned to feel more confident. Plus, I did sports, so I really didn't need to wear it so much. Now at 19 and starting college tomorrow, I'm much more confident in my skin, and I don't wear makeup. I had this conversation with my youngest sister the other day about makeup. I think it's a personal thing, and I think that if you really want to move away from makeup, you have to start taking better care of your skin first. I don't think anyone should be bullied for wearing makeup, but it's a personal thing/and or something your parents should decide on. I don't regret wearing makeup from such a young age, because it taught me vital life lessons, and how to be more confident in my skin. Your skin tells others how you've lived, scars and all. Wrinkles just show how full your life was, and how much joy you've experienced. I think that's why my mom allowed me to wear makeup at such a young age, because she knew I would learn something about myself by using it. Thanks mom!
My mom didn't allow me to wear makeup until I started doing theater performances as a preteen, and even then what makeup I did wear was for costuming not everyday activity (which by then was my choice.) I also wasn't allowed to have any form of social media until I was in my late teens (about seventeen or so). A lot of other women assume that those sorts of restrictions must have been incredibly stifling, but I honestly think they did a world of good for me as I've never really seen makeup as a necessity. I think it's fun to play around with, sure, but I also don't feel pressured to wear it in order to meet some sort of expectation or compete with others.
I think it’s odd and in a way predatory the way makeup is advertised to young girls. I remember growing up there was always children’s makeup sets, scented lipgloss and eyeliner, and makeup making kits. I was never into them growing up but I do think it’s weird how we teach young girls they need to strive to be beautiful and appealing to men, it’s so weird and to me feels like the sexualization of kids. Same with beauty pageants and stuff, why do you care so much about how young girls look? There’s also a point to be made about how insecure all these girls are. I don’t know if it used to be this way but walk into any high school or middle school before the day starts and the bathroom is probably filled with girls quickly doing their makeup because they’re self conscious, it’s so sad.
And even with clothes too, they want kids to look like adults
Well right at that age girls are entering puberty. Many of them got acne, I was one of them. And I was bullied for it. You feel disgusting in your own body, the way people look at you like you aren’t clean. You are the most insecure at that age, so I don’t blame girls for wanting to wear makeup to avoid the rude comments and stares. It would be much better if kids didn’t bully each other for having natural puberty symptoms, but that’s not how the world is.
Being comfortable in your own skin is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
1. A woman is never more beautiful than fresh out of the shower.
2. No makeup.
3. Damp hair.
4. Perfection. 👌
Reading this I imagined commercials about some cream for your body and there's a model that looks fantastic while applying it...
If that's your reference, then no... We are not "perfection" the way that you describe it.
This only applies to women who are conventionally attractive. Lmao
I look like a swine when I get out of the shower
Tbh most women don’t look half-bad on their wedding days either but I know, controversial thought.
This is actually true.
misha i’ve noticed you changing the filter and wearing less makeup and it’s made me feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. and you still look wonderful 🩷
Dear girls and women,
I only use makeup 💄 for special occasions and only for my eyes 👀 and lips 💋 but in my jobs working with children and teenagers I never wear make-up and I try to be a good role model. I'm over 30 years old right now and people think I'm 20 something without makeup because I never used much of that chemical stuff. Listen to Misha, use less or nothing of it. You will have a wonderful skin and a much younger looks than ladies in your peer groups.
And dear boys and men,
Just don't watch corn. You'll get segsual problems for the future. Mark our words y'all and thank Misha and me later 💋 😘 💋 😘
Why can't I watch corn?! You have problems with vegetables?

I prefer a natural like Misha if I'm totally honest
Sameee 😍
Misha uses makeup tho 😂
it is so crazy to hear this convo because when I was in high school my family was very conservative on the makeup thing. Which I found so crazy because I thought why do they not want me to be prettier? My other friends mothers wouldn’t let them leave the house without makeup. I don’t think they necessarily did the right thing but I am grateful for it. Now I feel so bad for the girls who grew up like my friends. They were so beautiful but they were made to feel bad about their natural face.
as a man, when I see a woman with too much make up, a half green / half pink hair style, a nose ring, tattoos, long witchy nails,
I am deeply disgusted.
most men would gladly wife up an Amish woman.
I am a no-makeup-enjoyer, but I know of many men who do like it. However, most recognize that the wrong make-up can be worse than none, and very few actually prefer heavy makeup. Interestingly, women tend to feel much more attached to makeup than men, and often find it hard to believe that many men don't actually like it.
I do like that ‘clean girl” fresh makeup, where you still look like yourself, and just enhance your natural features. I don’t think it should be a crutch to feel secure though. I just kind of go based on how I feel, some days I want to wear and other days I don’t. A healthy place is when you could feel good either way. Even the makeup itself can be external validation for some people which isn’t fixing the root of the problem and insecurities.
I don’t wear makeup every day, but I will on special occasions such as interviews, first dates, gala events, etc. I see it as the same as dressing up or curling your hair. There is some wisdom in wanting to put your best foot forward and like with a well-fitted garb, makeup can be used to enhance your natural features and distract from areas that maybe don’t look as great such as blotchy skin, etc. And I, personally, do think a little makeup can go a long way in making someone look more put-together or boost their confidence a bit.
However, I agree that if you can’t leave your house without makeup, that’s an issue. I have friends like that. I also don’t like heavy makeup on women. I’ve seen so many women who are genuinely beautiful and I think would look much better if they wiped off a few layers. But, hey! If it makes them happy, who cares?
I only wear powder foundation and blush, and maybe mascara or eyeshadow some days. My parents tell me I should wear more, but I just don't really want to. I don't feel like I look like myself if I have too much on and I feel even more uncomfortable than if I had none on at all
I remember only ever having crushes on girls that didn't wear makeup and that had a chill attitude.
It's like how a hoodie is way sexier than anything stereotypically sexy for women.

I like the fact that Misha herself is not wearing even a single layer of makeup.
Btw, the red dot(maybe a pimple) on her chin makes her look so real and cute❤
My ex was such a lovely and good hearted girl but she had issues for sure. She would wake up before me, put on makeup and get into bed to wake up again with me. When I told her she doesn't need to do this, it offended her , so I never brought it up again. She didn't need to do it but she choose to do it. To each his own I guess.
Women who don’t wear make-up look more natural and I find that more attractive.
Thing is a lot of the guys who are like “I don’t like women who wear makeup” are the same guys who expect a woman to look like a perfect instagram model 24/7. It’s like she can’t wear makeup but she also need to have perfect flawless skin, full pink lips, big eyes and thick eyelashes. Sorry to burst your bubble but no woman actually looks like that naturally.
Yeah, and they're the same(or similar) type of guys who think that beards and/or muscles define masculinity, and they also think that all women are attracted to that. Makeup, beards, muscle mass, hair extensions, mustaches aren't "needed"...they're tools used to enhance what's already there.
Misha is a perfect example of someone who looks great without makeup. It is possible to not wear it, ladies. 🤨
But she would look better with makeup in this video.
@@onclebob2178 Maybe but I don’t really see much of a difference
Are you blind?

Not for all of us. Plus she looks about 13 in this video.
It's a different thing to wear a LIGHT makeup (as Misha and the girl from the Pod do) versus having a ton of powder on you.
Thanks for talking about this. In reality there is seriously a different type of attractive that comes with makeup, it's an art thats been developed to change the way a person's features are perceived. I understand and appreciate the attraction of a developed look like that but women are beautiful in general to me as a man so I need to decide some standards. A woman that is confident in how she presents herself because she is groomed well and understands herself is kind of top tier for me. I have things I'm personally attracted to but being well groomed and dressed will make me much more inclined to be interested
Thank you!!! I was told by my boss to wear makeup and heels so I will look more professional. How does that make me more professional
Children are naturally ADORABLE so make-up on kids is a 100% no.
I seem to be alone in this opinion but I like it when women wear makeup. Mascara is mandatory.
Lol... There shouldn't be any right or wrong answers on this topic. As long as someone is an adult then it should be 👍🏽
@15:49 regarding children wearing makeup, as a kindergarten educator, I had a 6 year old come to school a couple of times w/ mascara and eyeshadow on. I asked if she was going somewhere special, she said no and that her mom had put it on her so she would look "pretty". Her mom didn't even wear makeup everyday. I didn't want to praise it because I didn't want her to think she looked "not pretty" w/ out it, but I didn't want to condemn it either. So I said nothing. Luckily, it wasn't an everyday occurrence. It was just strange. My mom freaked out if I used kid's makeup at that age.
Men who say I prefer 'natural beauty': What you think is 'natural beauty' often involves removing dark bags, making minor technical improvements to skin color, and employing various other appearance enhancement techniques. Scientifically, it has already been proven that men perceive a woman with makeup as not heavily made-up due to makeup tricks.
Men claim to appreciate 'natural beauty' because they imagine a woman with makeup that appears untouched. However, this perception is often mistaken, as the woman is actually wearing makeup but in a more subtle manner. What may seem like effortless or no makeup, highlighting natural beauty, actually entails hours of meticulous work.
I personally choose not to wear makeup because I prioritize important aspects of my life. When I wake up early, it's usually to prepare for university exams at five in the morning. During this time, makeup isn't a priority for me, and I won't sacrifice extra sleep to apply it. I am fortunate to have lecturers who opt not to wear makeup, and their choice has significantly influenced my perspective.
2:05 no. We are not oppressed by todays beauty standards. We choose willingly to participate. Thats not oppression.
I think whether someone does or doesn’t want to wear makeup is okay. I put on to make me feel a bit more confident since I have pimples (and I realize that foundation can make skin bad).
use honey, they will stop itching and in a few days the redness will be gone. its antideptic, antibacteric, and it helps moisten your skin. You can wear it during the day if you wish, or apply it before going to sleep.
Its also perfect for any scar (fresher is best, but also old scars can be helped) as it prevents bad scarring (especially with acne)
@@Apostate_ofmind I do believe honey would be good for Monday people. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to bees. I out honey on my face and I got a red rash 😂 I was so freaked out, because I’ve eaten honey and been fine. It’s just how my skins works I guess?
@@samanthajeffers9339 nooo! thats so unfortunate 😭 was it pure honey? i heard in some places they sell honey without it being actual honey but a corn syrup lookalike. Actually you could try pure corn syrup, it might not have all the beneficial properties, but its close! The main thing that makes honey so goid is its concentration of sugars which kills bacteria (and why it doesnt spoil until its diluted)
I remember being younger when mom or the sisters would use the phrase "I need to go put on my face". One issue is the way we give very young girls the wrong impression about makeup such that we make it a fun thing at such a young age they don't really know any whys behind it. Then it becomes habit and they notice how it affects others around them, and then they feel insecure because they were 'trained' to be insecure by starting too young. This also manipulates how boys see girls such that they acquire the sense that girls are not pretty unless they are wearing makeup.

Misha, you're having my mindset, I swear! My mommy is very similar to yours and that's so wholesome!
I was taught to not use make-up, but now when I'm all grown up lady, I use it sometimes just because it's fun!
Just like you, I like to put it on and hate to put it off!
I still have a cute baby face, but I swear, when I'll grow older, I'm gonna be a caring babushka (grandma) and I'm gonna love my wrinkles!
And I cannot keep myself from pinting out that you're very beautiful lady without make-up! So refreshing to see such natural beauty...
What's truly beautiful is the energy that we carry.. Not the skin we hided with.. some will just never understand.
Too much importance and emphasis is placed on looks, especially in the United States.
They do go to extremes to value looks and youth.
I'm in my early 30s and I know that my youth won't last. Looks do matter in attracting someone, but it isn't the most important thing in life.
Thank you Misha for this explanation. As a man I am growing about this. I said to my fiancé that she was perfect and didn’t need makeup which is true and its really how I feel, but she should do what makes her feel good. She is deeply affected by society standards and thinks she has to be perfect in every way. Im slowly working on her to bring her in touch with who she is which is way better than what shes aspires too. What’s strange is she’s a well published scientist MD PHD. One would think she should not compare herself to instagram models, which she constantly tries to become.
When i was in high school, i was TERRIFIED to leave the house without makeup. I would wake up early for school so that I could do my hair and makeup before. I am 25 now and i mourn for younger me. these days, i only ever wear makeup and do my hair when i have a reason. Obviously, I take pride in my appearance and hygiene, but makeup is hardly ever on my radar anymore. I wish i could go back and hug younger me and tell her she is beautiful just the way she is. I am honored to age and i fall more in love with who i am becoming every day.
I'll take no makeup anytime for clown paint. Seeing a woman without makeup speaks confidence and comfort in one's own skin.
I started wearing makeup daily because of my severe acne. Now that it’s gone, it’s hard to stop. Makeup is so expensive and I wish to stop wearing it so often but acne destroyed my self esteem.
i clicked on your pfp, thinking i'd see someone who isn't objectively attractive. i was disappointed 😂
i can't possibly imagine you being insecure omg, you're so pretty!!! 💝
A friend who is very positive and looks young for his age, said this quote...
"Makeup for women is like beards for men".
Now, even though I do agree with him on most things and we get along well...I disagree with him here. I think that makeup and beards...is neither bad nor good. It is a *tool* that can be used to enhance your facial features and how you look. Taking it to either extreme is unneccessary, in my opinion.
If women want to wear makeup or not wear any...great! Do you and be confident with it. If men want to have facial hair or be clean shaven...awesome! If you can pull it off and it makes you feel good, then go for it.
We're all going to age someday....even with it being possible for people to use photo-enhancing, filters, and AI to cover up how they truly look. With that being said, nobody is young for ever, and looks won't matter when we're all eventually six feet under.
Great video Misha. You're a beautiful woman with a beautiful mind, and I'm subscribing.
I like a woman who wears natural looking makeup instead of looking like you're putting on your war paint on your face - no dark red lipstick or raccoon eyes
My ex boyfriend got mad at me because I didnt wear a full face of makeup to go to restaurant(not even a fancy restaurant literally some random place round the corner). I had some mascara and lipgloss on. I don’t wear any makeup on the daily anyway. Safe to say he is an EX
I prefer girls that wear little to no Makeup
4:13 Cream, by David Firth, also known for making Salad Fingers. Nice reference!
Eventually comes the moment of truth, when he sees her with no makeup. If the difference is too big, it is all over. If she is lying about her face, she will be lying about everything else. Men hate taking off a woman makeup too, particularly with their clothes or their lips.
But that is a man's opinion. Women wear makeup to impress other women.
what all men know, make only fools women.
Yeah, too much make up looks like plastic. Less is more.
On the topic of men saying "you don't need makeup," the vast majority of straight men have no idea what they're looking at when it comes to a "natural" makeup look. In reality, they want subtle, natural-looking make-up that is just as many steps as an obvious full face of makeup and I think that's why women find it annoying when men say that
I've had severe hormonal acne for a while because of health issues. I'm receiving medical treatment, I'm taking every pill needed (some are quite expensive), I'm trying my best to improve overall health condition to live a better life. Yet no one looking at me thinks that I'm doing everything possible to cure acne, they just see really bad skin. I am kinda used to it by now though, healing would take up to a year, and after that there will be noticeable scars anyway.
Properly chosen foundation doesn't make my acne worse since it's deeply under skin, so I've grown a little bit addicted to makeup. Although my face has pleasant-looking proportions (some people have even called me very beautiful before all this), acne is considered ugly, thus, no-makeup me is ugly. At least that's what the majority thinks, I suppose...
But things change if I'm wearing makeup, the attention gets drawn away from imperfections. So I'd rather be seen as a pretty girl with too heavy makeup, than an ugly girl with somewhat nice features and disgusting skin.
Not all that is natural is beautiful.
I got mistaken for a lost child by a police officer outside a restaurant once for not wearing make-up; I was twenty-six. 😂 That aside, I find it ironic that women calling out toxic behaviors in some women or having a harmless opinion is considered "pick me" behavior but bashing men and women who are "problematic" for attention and validation isn't. This seems to be the case for many groups nowadays, tbh.
Feminists are aggressive and masculine this drives men away.
they wear makeup and sexy clothes that makes men think that they are desperate. (because they are)
these types of women are the original "pick me" girls. but they will not be picked.
a natural woman in her femininity can just go to where the men are and get picked.
what men know but will not say "men love women who wear make up, it is good that the desperate women can be easily identified."
3:35 LOL Misha I’m not going to lie, I didn’t notice this until you pointed it out, but the TikTok is hilariously accurate. We’re all either “hot Russian singles” or “babushkas”! Now I’m a little scared to age 😂😂
I think a lot of women who are very vocal about being against makeup are naturally very pretty and don’t like other women being able to enhance their appearance with makeup.
I mostly use makeup when I go out (I go out very little, explanation later) for a little confidence boost.
I do not go full glam or anything. But definitely use some powder for my face, some concealer under my eyes, fill my eyebrows lightly and do my eyes and lips. No contour, blush or fake lashes or any of that stuff. To some this might sound as much, but it is just some basics.
I do my eyes (concealer under my eyes, a bit of eyeliner & mascara) because I can look very tired without this makeup (again, explanation later in this message) and do my lips because they almost have the same color as my skin.
The reason I use makeup is mostly because I am in a wheelchair and people (in my experience and where I live) often look at wheelchair users (not all of them) as not very well put together. So I like to present myself decently. I do my eyes because I look quite tired without eye makeup since the excruciating pain my diseases bring, cause me to hardly sleep. I’m lucky if I sleep 2 hours or a little more per 24h. So that causes pretty tired looking eyes.
And because the little sleep and excruciating pain cause extreme tiredness, I don’t go out much, because I simply don’t have the energy. I can’t even work, so going out doesn’t even happen every week.
But at home with my husband, I never wear makeup. Except when I/we go out. And then take it off at the end of the day (or when I get home). I hate taking makeup off too! It’s such a hassle. Putting it on is way more fun! Like Misha used to do, I would love to do my makeup just for fun and take it off again, if I had the energy. But often that is even too much. I usually take it slow when putting makeup on, otherwise that can exhaust me before going out the door.
So yeah, I use it as a confidence boost. But if I have the energy for a quick (well, especially short in my case) errand close to home, I don’t always put makeup on. And I like when the sun shines, so I can put on my sunglasses, so I don’t seem so tired, lol.
Again, I just prefer to present myself well, look put together. So maybe I am doing it for other people. But not for some people in particular. Not for men, since I am already married, not to “compete” with women. Just to look decent ☺️.
Sorry for the long rant, if anyone finishes it 😅😂.
I think the reason nobody took the first girl seriously was because she was very attractive.
If she don't uses makeup but uses other means of enhancement (microblading, microneedling, lash extensions) then she is a hypocrite. And if she indeed looks like that naturally, then she benefits from pretty privileges and isn't in any position to tell other less attractive women what to do.
I’m sorry but I disagree. I think the other women look beautiful as well. Their features are just different. As someone who almost never wears make up…I’ve noticed that my skin looks healthier and sometimes other people can’t tell if I wear foundation or some other stuff. It’s a combination of genetics, lifestyle, basic skin care, mindset, etc. Beauty is subjective. Not everyone likes my features or personality but they are people who do. In conclusion, her opinions are valid.
@@karmaakabane4516 I think it's an optimistic mindset, but I am not of the opinion that everyone is beautiful. I think is nothing wrong with trying whenever possible to be content with what we have. But beauty, like intelligence, can be considered subjective only to a certain degree: many people simply have different forms of intelligence, but you would definitely notice when someone is above average or below average. And there would be no sense in trying to convince the bellow average person that they will have the same amount of opportunity as the above average one.
I am not saying she isn't entitled to an opinion, I am saying she should be conscious of her privileges while sharing her opinion.
While I am no model myself I have a very good skin, so I don't need foundation either. If I went to tell a person with severe cystic acne that they don't need foundation because I don't need it, do you see how that would be insensitive ? That's the same, except instead of just skin, it's all of her features.
I, again, respectfully disagree. Your argument seems to imply that beauty is a privilege and that a beautiful person has more opportunities in life. However, I can’t support this argument. Beautiful people do suffer as well. There are beautiful people who are insecure, some of them have even body dysmorphia thus experience huge amounts of distress daily. Beautiful people do as well commit suicide (e.g. former miss USA, K-pop idols, etc.). They do have histories of trauma and mental health issues. K-pop and Modeling industries are toxic as hell and full of sexual harassment and even worse stuff. Beautiful people are more likely to be target of sexual predators or not taken seriously because of their looks. Beautiful people don’t always end up in healthy relationships and sometimes cannot find a partner because their partner feels “not good enough” for them or because their partner is too superficial. Or because lots of people feel intimidated by them. When it comes to jobs, people, especially here in the EU care more about your skills/knowledge than anything else, and, of course, how you make people feel matters but considering attitudes in my country…it’s probably not the most important factor…. In other words, external beauty is not everything. And it is definitely not a privilege. You might argue with me “but beautiful people are treated better”. However, that’s not always the case because some people will always be jealous and drag those “more beautiful”down. Also, your degree of external “beauty” should never define your value and how you’re treated. The way people treat you shows a lot about them and not you. Your looks shouldn’t matter. There are many people out there who treat others well and with respect despite of looks or any other factors because they are just simply good people. Only superficial assholes would treat someone badly just based on their looks. Thus thank god they show their true colours so that we can avoid them.
@@karmaakabane4516 I just got insulted online by a misogynistic man, so you politeness is a breath of fresh air. Thank you :)
Even if I don't quite agree with you I do believe the world would be a better place if everyone thought like you.
I’ve also been to a job interview and she said I needed to wear makeup. I don’t want to work anywhere that doesn’t accept the face I was born with
Women have their beauty, let them embrace it we love them because they're beautiful
I only consistently wear eyeliner
thats it
I dont like the "feel" of stuff on my skin, so most things are out
and I do have facial "imperfections" like a scar right next to my eye and the amount of freckles you'd expect from a pale redhead, but they've never bothered me (especially helps when my girlfriend says they make me prettier)
I found that most guys that say "girls don't need to wear makeup" or along the lines of that, tend to just not know that most girls they see have the no makeup, makeup look.
I'm male, and you're right. The guys who disagree are doing what you're saying without realizing it.
I like to do creative looks and it’s always done for me, not for insecurity necessarily but it’s fun to do, it’s art! Men rarely compliment my looks which is nice, it’s always women ❤ women who aren’t delulu over weird views understand art in makeup
I personally don't think make-up should be a thing. It does damage to the skin long-term, and I feel like overall sets an weird unnatural beauty standard.
I think it depends on the person and why they want to wear it. Many Black women & Japanese women look young with or without makeup.
as a grown adult woman, I do not wear makeup because I don't need it and it comes off. It also makes my skin super oily. I wear makeup on special occasion for weddings to look nice. All I need is concealer, mascara, eyeshadow, and on occasion, lipstick. Plus, applying makeup takes too long in the morning. Will I wear makeup to a job, idk. Please respect women if they do not choose to wear makeup. it is a personal choice everyone needs to respect.
As a man makeup is a subject I really avoid talking about. There's no win in it for men. When I genuinely say that I prefer most people without makeup, they call me a liar. Men get blamed for girls having to do makeups, but simultaneously are told that they do makeup not because of men but to make themselves feel better.
Then don't make any comments about women's appearance. Problem solved!
Men often feel like they are entitled to tell women how to look while making clear that attractiveness is absolutely necessary for a girl. So just be perfect and do not try to trick anyone with your makeup! And if you're "ugly" without makeup, well, sucks to be you then.
I ❤ that you said BABUŠKA. I was thinking it when you said it
I think this video was a missed opportunity to talk about the real issue here...is make up in the long run hurting people's self image. I would argue yes. We have become such a "filtered" society we are moving into the direction where just everyone feels ugly all the time...and what's the "solution" buy more crap. It's an endless cycle.
i wish people would talk about this with hair too. it sounds silly but it’s a lot of work and my hair does not look normal or presentable by default and it’s been a burden my whole life
I think women should do whatever they want. If they want to wear makeup, they should do it. Not for a man or anyone else, just for themselves. It's literally not that deep.
I don't wear it because I personally don't like it. You do you x'D
It can be deep if you think about, if a woman look a whole different person wearing make up she is very insecure or just hate her own face, same thing with plastic surgery.
@@LarissaGomes-b7q that's definitely true, but not for me to worry about. It's a bummer some people feel the need to use makeup or plastic surgery to conceal their insecurities, but in the end that's their choice and it doesn't affect me personally.
@@OktoberJournal neither it does affect me, and since i am straight i am only attracted to men so is not my issue of dating, and i don't wear make up too for better skin. But also would like other women to stop pretending this is not a issue and social media are ruining women (even more young ones) confidence, they swear to god they dress in the most attention seek way possible, shapeshift themselves into a whole different women and do a bunch of plastic surgery and swear they are confident and are doing for themselves
I don't think they're oppressed, I think they're influenced. I've heard women say they're tired of wearing makeup. A lot of men have said, "Then don't wear makeup. You look fine without it, anyway." It's not that we're giving them validation, it's that we agree with them. The skin color part is really weird. I'm white, and I can get a tan. No one is trying to claim her brown skin.
I was wondering the same about the brown color. I get very brown in the summer. I also like it 😂.
@@susanamariapereirasoares7188 I used to get sunburn when I was a kid. I still do on my nose. But any other part of me exposed to the sun gets tan now. I personally try to stay out of the sun.
In a world of "yas queen", they sure live and die through makeup.
I'm a 18 year old girl and the most makeup I have put on me is mascara. The reason why is simply because I have never had any interest in make up what so ever. And I am glad I never fell for any of the insecurity bates that is used online.
There is an aid at a nursing home that when she started right after she graduated highschool this year she wore make-up everyday. Now she doesn't, and she is still a 14 out of 10 without the make-up.
Most of the girls I grew up around their families didn't allow makeup, and they were still pretty. I hate seeing girls wearing so much makeup.
I live in Australia and I am a 52 male and as with most places, women wear make up here, it is not a daily thing, it is only on special occasions, not all the time. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel special from time to time. as long as does not become an obsession. It comes down to everything else with life, moderation.
I get depressed when I hear people claiming that 40 is the new 30, 50 is the new 40, and so on. The claims are painfully desperate attempts to cling to youth, and none of it's true.
That's because most people don't grow up these days. They don't have to with modern comforts. It's actually quite pathetic.
@@BRockIITWi There you go: "Growing up isn't cool. People who grow up suck."
@@HandgunSafe I'm not sure what you are trying to express. Growing up is necessary for society to function properly. Your smart azz response, proves my point that most adults act like children. Have a blessed day
@@BRockIITWi I would suggest working on your reading comprehension. By putting the silly remark in quotation marks, I indicated that these words did not represent my actual sentiments but that they were a parody. If you need additional explanation beyond that, I would again suggest making reading comprehension a priority.
@HandgunSafe If you are on my side, that's great, but quotations don't always mean sarcasm. They could be you putting words in my mouth sarcastically, which obviously now I know you weren't. This wouldn't be a conversation if you had made it more obvious in the first place what side your sarcasm came from, so you might want to dial back your condescending BS back a little, since you assume everyone is a mind reader, and knows what you meant. Have a blessed day
I love getting dolled up. I find makeup to be a fun and creative outlet. Sometimes I love getting dressed up for a nice event or dinner and doing a full glam, false lashes and all- makes me feel so gorgeous. That being said most days I don’t put makeup on at all. I am fine with my natural face and embrace it. I feel beautiful both ways and I like both having makeup on and not having it on. I think whatever makes you personally feel better and more comfortable with your own appearance is what you should do.
