If we're going out for a full on night on the town, I'll wear a lot, usually just a bit of lipstick and eyeshadow as I have decent coloring. He loves me if I have a little, a ton or none on, so it's really for me.

I don't need to wear a lot but what I do wear enhances what I've already got. MUST have glossy red or Matte burgundy lippy, eyeliner and mascara though.
I love make-up but I prefer to use it sparingly and generally stick to neutrals and naturals.
My all-time fave products would be Aveda tinted moisturizer, NARS blush in 'orgasm' and all hail the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick (these are so multi-purpose I honestly think every girl should have one!). I would recommend these any day of the week.
Love mascara, lip glosses, juicy tubes and gloss pots (hate heavy lipstick or the tube-versions), mascara (I've used false eyelashes for special occasions and evening drama but not often), neutral barely there shadow. I don't like traditional 'eyeliner' - I use a tiny brush and the powder or gel form just for a hint of shadow.
Day to day though it's just tinted moisturizer, mascara, a quick dust of shimmer brick and neutral lipgloss. I like to keep it fresh.
The reason I use it - just to enhance what's already there. In my experience most guys equate the 'bare/no-make-up' look to a girl that is actually wearing some but keeping it to a minimum and staying in the natural tones. The vast majority of women definitely wear a little something.
Without makeup, many faces have a washed out look. Makeup -- and it is actually prehistoric time -wise -- enhances and highlights. Too much and it's awful, like put on with a trowel -- but properly done it's exquisite. Eyes and lips especially, but also light lipstick on the nipples or even pussy. It's not a new thing by any means. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans used it a LOT. Fake blush, however, is not so much, and always look false. Very, very few women look good without some makeup, however slight. It's just the way the face is, if everything blends into the skin tone it becomes bland and faded/

Thanks for all the educational replies gals. From what I can gather most of you just enjoy using it. With or without it, you're beautiful ladies!

It's pretty and it's fun, as well as expressive.

I love makeup. I mostly wear it when I'm getting dressed up for an occasion but I try to at least wear a little eyeliner and mascara and sometimes eyeshadow depending on my mood. I have been know to wear colored eyeliner and mascara. Its fun to change things up with different colors. I'm not a big fan of foundation or blush though.
I think I have a little obsession with eyeshadows though. I have a habit of buying colors even if I never wear it.
When I do use make up its just to enhance what I already have. I don't cake on my make up. I make it look as natural as possible.
I love wearing it, though I don't do it often. Usually just some mascara, eyeliner, and a bit of lip gloss. Lipstick, sometimes, though only for very special occasions, and I always add lip gloss on top.
I wore foundation once and I looked absolutely incredible, but the upkeep and the cleaning up is too much work. Plus, I don't like the idea of covering myself up in so much stuff. It was just too much.
I definitely go without makeup more than I go with. I tend to only put it on if I'm in a playful/sexy mood or if I'm going somewhere special.
Like most of the ladies, to supposedly enhance what I already have.
I'm pretty lazy so it's not exactly something I take much time over and it's always straight off as soon as I'm in the door.
I'll use a tinted moisturiser, eyeliner, mascara. On a night out I'll usually make my eyes a bit darker but nothing major.
Growing up in a house full of lads it took me a while to get comfortable with make up - I'd sit infront of the mirror at home for hours trying to put it on right.
If I ever let someone 'do me up' properly I feel really selfconscious.
Not all of us are that 'natural' beauty and some of us need it, pure and simple.
To make me prettier than I already am!!
The amount and style of make-up my wife wears depends upon what the occasion is. She looks great without and she looks great with it. I love it when she wears it extra slutty!
It completely depends on the occassion and the company. For the most part, I am simple... Gloss, Mascara and dusting of shimmer. I love having a reason to get all dolled up tho. Its fun to play. The right person loves you dressed up or au natural. Because I don't go full face for every day wear, I love the looks I get when I do turn it up a notch.

I like the way it makes me look. I only use mascara and eyeliner and eyeshadow and lipstick once in a while. I don't like that foundation stuff and I will never wear it. But yeah... Makes my ojos look better (:
I like to keep my make up to minimal, best is lipstick or lip balm always on hand to keep my lips kissable especially during the winter (now) and summer months. I wear it for my own pleasure, nor do I go out of my way to please people.
