Someone else: Makeup is actually a turn off for me. Whether it be a guy or a girl, if I’m kissing someone’s lips/cheek I want to kiss the person. Not some thick coating of chemical paint. Same with perfumes. I don’t know if it’s ridiculous amounts of people overusing, or if perfumes in general turn me off. But I’ve stood behind a woman in a shopping queue before (while doing groceries) and I’ve found myself on a few occasions wondering if I could draw parallel’s between their stench, uncleanliness, and sniffing petrol.
Me: Personally, I am in love with the well painted face, the scent and sensation of face powder, the lush slickness of a lipsticked mouth, the dark fan of false lashes against preternaturally flawless skin interest me far more than naked, dully human flesh but to each their own. Give me chemicals for they are what all matter is made of, and I would rather have someone self made than one who allows nature’s whims decide what it is they ought to look like.
