Do you like women with make up or without it, why?

Without, for multiple reasons. I think people just look a lot better al naturale, you can appreciate their true beauty, the reality.. humans and their skin colors, etc. are naturally beautiful (at least for beautiful people).

And there's something so unnatural and fake-looking about people with a lot of makeup on, all dolled up, I'm not sure how it's supposed to be appealing to look like plastic, and it reminds me of the concept of the Uncanny Valley ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley ), and it makes them look generic, it takes away all the character from their looks.

And even for those people for whom a little bit of makeup might make them look better, I wish they wouldn't, it's lies. It's misleading. It's akin to false advertising (not to say that women are products per se, it's not like false advertising in *every* way).

And another reason I don't like it is that I'm a purist, a naturalist, *especially* when it comes to the pristineness of the human body. For this reason I also don't like piercings, dyed hair, tattoos, cosmetic surgery, etc., so you can see how makeup fits in there.
