Spoiler for off topic:

Actually, in real life, I prefer no makeup and major facial/body changes on women. I can't see the appeal in it (for either men or women), and it ends up as a turnoff.

I once knew this girl who I found really beautiful and sexy. She had a pretty face and glorious shining straight hair. But at one point, she went for a party and totally messed herself up. She put hideous mascara on, plucked her eyebrows (probably the biggest turnoff), and dyed and curled her hair.

After that, I stopped liking her. I just wish she went for the party without bothering with makeup and other stuff, because her natural beauty was the most effective form of hers and set her apart from other girls. She was perfect, so why did she have to mess herself up?

For me at least, the "natural beauty" phenomenon applies to both 2D and 3D women.

I'll probably copy-paste this into the "turn-offs" thread some time.
