When I was male presenting and ~21 a girl asked me to come spend time with her, and I rejected her and was asked why. I told her that her makeup was too much, and probably did use the word “natural” - she literally went to the restroom and tuned down her makeup. She came back looking gorgeous. Her makeup was amazingly flattering. And I rejected her again because I wasn’t in the mood and I left.
Since then, I’ve respected the effort put in, even when makeup is unflattering it can tell a story about a girl. And that in itself can be ignored or go unmentioned, when the girl is otherwise interesting.
