I think I saw a subject-blind study somewhere that indicated men prefer light makeup to no makeup despite their claims to the contrary.
Depends on what is meant by ‘prefer’. I prefer no makeup too, but not because it looks better. I prefer it because I see makeup as a minor kind of lying and I don’t like that. I value honesty. It doesn’t mean that I detect all lies. Or not be influenced by them.
I’m trying to read “flamboyant” cheritably but everying I try to imagine is horrible. The more the worse.
Artful facepainting might be different though.
ADDED: I realize that this argues againt my reasoning that it results from lying—as an obvious makeup is no lie. But then I also don’t like exaggerations and maybe this falls into a more general pattern? Hm, sounds suspiciously like rationalizations. Will have to introspect a bit on this.

How do you feel about flamboyant makeup which is obviously artificial?
