I prefer the natural look. Obviously it's nice to see women wearing make-up once in a while or for special occasions, but I think it's a bad idea to wear it all the time. Here's why...
One of my colleagues wears make-up every day and she slaps it on nice and thick, too. In fact, I have rarely seen her without make-up on. One day, she came in with no make-up on and I thought Halloween had come early because she looked horrific. I fully expected her to shout "trick or treat". Now, don't get me wrong; she is not ugly by any stretch of the imagination, but because we were so used to seeing her fully made up, it was a shock to see her with nothing on, so to speak. She really did look ill.
Conversely, if she been the type never to wear make-up then we would all have been used to seeing her in her natural state. Then, if she were to one day turn up with make-up on, then no doubt we would all have thought she looked beautiful. In fact, another friend of mine wears very little make-up, and some days wears none, and she looks fine. But when she puts make-up on, she is a real head-turner. (And I've told her that, too, because I am an incurable flirt).
And that is why I think this particular option is far preferable (for all concerned) to the Halloween scenario.
(Sorry for the lecture; I got a bit carried away as I was discussing this very topic with my wife the other day. She agrees with me, by the way).
