Millions of men think women wear too much make-up and prefer girls who adopt a more natural look. Research revealed one in five men wish their partner would tone down the slap-on while one in ten said they liked women who wear no make-up whatsoever.
Thick layers of caked-on foundation, a favourite fashion trait of celebs like Jordan and Christina Aguilera, emerged as one of the biggest turn-offs – as did overdoing blusher
The study also found men don’t like false eyelashes, bright lipstick, Amy Winehouse-style eyeliner ‘flicks’, dark lip-liner and pencilled-in eyebrows.
It also emerged more than four out of ten women nearly always put make-up on before leaving the house. And 15 per cent admitted they wouldn’t dream of walking out of the front door without war paint on. Almost two thirds owned-up to wearing a full-face of make-up to work most days, with one in twenty claiming they had been warned by their boss about wearing too much.Thirty-nine per cent even claimed they dreaded their husband or boyfriend seeing them before they have applied their make-up. But the researchers also found 23 per cent of women who cake on the make-up are using it to mask their lack of confidence, while 30 per cent think they are hiding behind it.
