10 Makeup Looks Men Hate the Most

There are thousands of articles in magazines and on websites that tell women how to put on makeup. The vast majority of them are written by women who tell you they know how men think, or by gay guys who do not think like a straight man. While you may like the way that your face is dolled up, and you may have received compliments from your friends, it does not mean you will attract the opposite sex. None of your friends will say that your face looks ugly the way you have it done up. As a guy I've had decades of checking out the opposite sex, and while I may personally know nothing about how to put on makeup, I can assure you that I'm an expert on judging a woman's looks. Here are the top 10 makeup looks men hate the most.This article is not for the faint of heart, or those who do not like to hear the blunt honest truth in an "in your face" Anthony Bourdain type of way.

The "Five O'clock Shadow"
Face it: all women have facial hair. It's nothing to be ashamed of; it's a fact of life. Some may have more than others, and for the most part guys don't notice it because the color of the facial hair on women matches their skin. However when one has excessive facial hair along with makeup that doesn't match the natural color of your skin it is a recipe for disaster. The "five o'clock shadow" is one of the makeup looks men hate.

Whenever I see a woman with facial hair it makes me cringe. It's like looking at someone who is missing an arm or a leg - you just can't help yourself. Unless you want to turn of guys and make sure that you never get a date, then please for the love of god either wear different makeup, or (even better) shave!

Theatre make up
Back in the day, movie and televisions stars wore a ton of makeup so that they looked better on camera. There are a lot of women who do a nice job on their makeup; however they forget the fact that people can see their necks too. When your neck is a completely different color then your face, then that is a huge turnoff.

Not applying makeup to your neck so it matches the rest of your face is like a guy shaving half of his face - it's not going to impress anyone.

El Natural
Some women have wonderful skin and look beautiful with hardly any makeup on at all. The keyword there is hardly. No need to be fancy, most guys could care less if you wear lipstick, eye liner, mascara, ect. It does not matter who you are - if you are planning on going out of your home then the least you can do is to cover up your blemishes. Mr. right could be waiting for you at Walgreens when you run in for milk.

Almost every time I'm at a convenience store, there is a woman without any make up on who flirts with me. Don't be that woman, because as a guy I find it one of the worst makeup looks men hate (or lack thereof!)

Flamingo
Some colors should just be avoided all together. Avoiding any cosmetic product that is a shade of neon is a good way to avoid one of the makeup looks men hate - the flamingo.

When men see neon colors, it screams vice and red light district. If a guy wanted a hooker, they would go to Chinatown...

The "Butter Shave"
Do not fall victim to using too many bronzers. There is a difference between a tan and being burned. Those of you who have seen the show Seinfeld, you may recall the episode where Kramer uses butter on himself, then proceeds to get a tan. Newman can't help but think he smells delicious, and imagines Kramer as a turkey. Using too many bronzers will make your face look like Kramer's in that episode, and is one of the makeup looks men hate.

The "Vampire"
While Lady Gaga looks sexy with a pale white face, it does not mean you will too. It's one thing if you're a Goth chick, however it's unacceptable to go outside during the day if you are not. Vampires and sunlight never did mix well anyways (please don't leave comments about Twilight - Instead watch a good vampire movie such as Interview with the Vampire.).

The "Porcelain Doll"
The porcelain doll is when a woman has pale with rosy cheeks, ruby red lips, and long eyelashes. It was popular in the 18th century. We're in the 21st century now, not the 18th. The porcelain doll is one of the top 10 makeup looks men hate because it makes you look like an inanimate object. Feminism has been fighting for women to be treated like people, not objects, so why would you want to look like one?

Whenever I see a woman that is made up like a porcelain doll, I'm frightened. Who in their right mind would want to look like Chucky's bride? The sight makes me run away screaming for my life, afraid that she will come after me with a butcher knife.

The "Pornstar"
This is another one of the makeup looks men hate. Even if you have never seen a porno, the internet is full of explicit pop up advertisements. Too much make up is a bad thing. Makeup is like any other addictive substance, such as coffee, and moderation is key.

Do you really want to look like a pornstar? I don't think so.

The "Frank N Furter"
"I'll tell you once, I won't tell you twice, you better wise up, Janet Weiss" - The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The "Frank N Furter" is a combination of the vampire, porcelain doll, and pornstar. In other words, you look like a drag queen or transvestite. Guys will think that "Your apple pie don't taste too nice."

I'll certainly be avoiding you, and so will everyone else.

Not Removing your Makeup
After a long day of work, when a woman comes home they should remove their makeup. Why? Because leaving on makeup will clog your pores and prevent your face from shedding skin properly. The oils on your face can build up, and lead to outbreaks of pimples and zits. It is important to give your skin a break from makeup and never go to bed wearing it.

My gf came home from work one day, and went to bed without removing her makeup. She woke up with irritated and dry skin - do not make the same mistake!

What you should wear
Occam's razor states that "the simplest strategy tends to be the best one." The best make up looks for women to have is the kind that men can't tell is even there. Aside from your lipstick, we should be led to believe that's how your face naturally looks, even if it does not. Choose a color that accents your skin tones and is subtle to the eye. Don't choose makeup looks men hate.
