None of you guys are hot enough to attract a woman who is likewise hot enough to never wear makeup.

I don't go outside without makeup on. I seriously do not. Everyone has flaws, and some flaws are worse than others. I do not layer the makeup on so thickly that it looks like a clown mask, however.

Use it sparingly; the goal of wearing makeup is to enhance your strong points and downplay your flaws, all while looking like you aren't wearing much of anything.

My partner never wore makeup when we first met, and now, she wears makeup the same way I do. And I'm not afraid to say she looks much better now (though, learning to dress appropriately for her body type and stop trying to resemble an extra in a 50 Cent music video really helps as well).

I will also posit that what you may believe to be an "all-natural" girl is actually a girl who simply knows how to use makeup well (minimal and complementary rather than a "mask.")
