What's your opinion on the following things women do to beautify themselves?
From a male perspective:
High heels - Okay for the occasional night out, but sometimes women tottering around in them just look silly. Wearing heels constantly is subjecting yourself to pain for the sake of fashion.
Painting nails - I actually never got why so many women were into painting their finger and tone nails. I have no problem if they want to make themselves pretty but in terms of attraction it doesn't change anything for me.
Eye-shadow/eye-liner/mascara: Maybe a bit, but personally, too many girls just overdo it. If you can tell within a second she's wearing dark eye shadow it's too much.
Lip-stick/lip-gloss: Kind of indifferent to it, really. Don't really like to taste lipstick though.
The fastidious use of moisturizer/lotions/scrubs: It's good to want to have good skin, but you can probably overdo it. Some women act like blackheads or pores are the size of small craters lol.
Foundation etc. I guess is more subtle.
Eye lash extensions/fake eyelashes: To be honest I viewed them as a bit silly and also unnecessary.
Jewelry - Kind of neutral on it. Not a fan of too much jewelry on anyone.
Hair dye - No problem wanting a change now and then, but changing colour every month or so is overdoing it a wee bit. The bottle blonde fad went outta control for a little while (for both sexes really).
Fake breasts - Unless you're like an A or small B cup and you really feel the need to, I think the balloon like breasts are a result of male fetishism.
Fake tan - I know real tanning can be harmful...I like the bronzed look if doesn't make you look like an oompa loompa.
Women's clothing in general - Seems to be geared to be sexy: revealing, figure-hugging.
I'm not trying to be judgemental, doesn't make me think less of women who do that, thought it'd be an interesting thread topic.
The assumption of the OP is that women are doing all of this to impress men, which isn't necessarily the case. A lot (not all, of course) of beauty and fashion is to please herself first, and other women mostly. Ladies know that most men wouldn't know a peplum if it fell out of the sky and couldn't tell the difference between a pump and an espadrille.

I've grown to slightly dislike women who make-up too much. They'll be prettier than the crocodile.
If they're truly way prettier than you, they probably won't be wearing too much make-up!
