Of course women aren't more attractive without makeup on. They know it and so does the cosmetic industry. The cosmetic industry is now hell bent on convincing men that they too are not attractive unless they slap on a bit of makeup. The whole cosmetic industry is built around the image of a woman only looking her best by applying the most expensive make up she can afford.

"Oh my God" is hardly a pleasant way to greet a stranger when you wake up in bed next to them next morning after both of you got drunk at a party. Just because you were both drunk and covered in make up so you looked like the most beautiful couple in the world there should have been no reason for both of you to catch a taxi back to the same place. Your host had no right to assume you were a loving couple and bundle you off in a cab because you started to dominate the party with your arguments as to who manufactured the best make up. The shock of seeing someone as they really are first thing in the morning may be something that you would want to forget as quickly as possible. "Excuse me while I go and put my face on" might be the best thing you hear all day and certainly assist you get over the shock of seeing someone who relies heavily on make up to look attractive.

In the light of the day and standing in front of a mirror you are quite natural to think that without make up to cover a few wrinkles here and there you are less attractive than when you dab a bit of make up on. In all honesty dab is an understatement. Some women must use a trowel to hide those wrinkles when applying make up.

There is such an extraordinary range of products on the market and such a variety of manufacturers that women should have no problem in finding a brand which does add to their attraction when correctly applied. There are also a few large well known cosmetic companies that only sell cosmetics via a party plan . At such parties women can discuss make up, actually apply a sample and get honest opinions of how attractive the make up makes them. Of course getting an honest opinion may be hard if your friends are still single and are in competition to snare a male who is still straight and hasn't as yet felt the need to apply make up.

Real beauty is only skin deep so men are attracted to women whether or not they are covered in make up. Some woman will tell you how difficult it was for her to find a man and convince him to marry her. Make up correctly applied does add to the attraction and is a useful weapon to defeat a man's resolve to stay single. After all, all is fair in love and war.
