Re: Question from all GS Women...why women are more fond of makeups and fashion then
One thing that I've always found so interesting is that makeup looks good on women.....whereas it doesn't suit men at all. It might be a silly thing to say. And people reading this might think, "Well DUH!" But think about it. Men cannot pull off eye shadows, eyeliner, blush, and lipstick the way women can. Makeup looks WRONG on men! Their faces were not built for makeup. I feel that Allah has naturally made a woman's face in a way that it can pull off makeup and jewelry better than men.
While I prefer a natural look with minimal makeup....I feel that makeup enhances a woman's look. And women KNOW that. And even men notice that! That's why women have been applying kohl to their eyes and rouge to their cheeks and lips from ancient times. We know makeup works for us...........that's why we're more fond of it.
Of course makeup can be overdone in such a way that it can make a woman look like Bozo the clown. But when done correctly....it looks more natural and even men can't help but be attracted to
eyes that look more intense because of eyeliner....or the flutter of long lashes courtesy of mascara.....or well defined lips as a result of lip gloss/lipstick.
Also, very few forms of fashions suit men. Whereas women have so much variety. Men are mainly confined to just shirts, pants, shorts, and shoes, and hats. Whereas women have so many more options that look GOOD on them.......such as a variety of shirts, skirts, dresses, pants, hats, jewelry, shoes, etc. All the options that look good on women......tend to look GAY on men! Since women have so many options.......we are naturally more fond of fashion!
