Part of it is that women are trying to look prettier. The other part of it is that makeup is just fun.

I would prefer to meet a woman who looks naturally beautiful.
Are women of the developed world obsessed with cosmetics? ??
They have seen too many photos of Snookered (Snooky) & Bow wow (Jwow).

It's pointless to rely on materialistic things like makeup to feel beautiful

The smokey eye is still trendy, and it's a night-time look, so you're going to see it in bars and clubs. Generally, night-time is for heavier make-up. Without it, the face looks washed out under the lights.

However, I agree that too much of it can be garish.

Oh come on, you really miss the point. It's just fun to adorn yourself and try different things. It's as ancient and worldwide as there have been people on the planet.
For homework, look up --
Ancient Egyptians and their black kohl eyeliner
The Masa'i of East Africa adorning their hair with cow dung
Geishas with their white faces and red lips
Indian brides with bindi and henna
etc. etc.

Me personally, I have very blonde eyebrows. In fact, I look almost exactly like the Swedish actress Liv Ullman (and I am of Swedish heritage). But my 'no eyebrow' look bothers me! I think I look like Gollum. So I painstakingly brush my brows with color every day. It's just my own thing, I don't care what anyone thinks. I used to be kind of a nut about this -- One time I was taking my DD to school and we were running late, and she shouted at me PUT ON YOUR EYEBROWS AND LET'S GO! Hilarious!

Because women are expected to look young and have smooth skin, full lips and big eyes. Well we arent all born like that so we use cosmetics.

My only pet peeve is when women shave their eyebrows and draw them back in!! Only drag queens do that, it's looks so nasty on real women.

Agreed. Works of art, really.

Us men are just boxy framed tools. Women are where it's at.
