As 10 coisas mais importantes sobre maquilhagem que os homens não suportam

Todos os homens sabem que a maquilhagem é uma parte essencial da rotina diária de (quase) todas as mulheres. A maquilhagem é uma das formas mais fáceis de melhorar o seu humor e de se sentir bem consigo próprio. 

It’s also one of the most effective ways to attract men (ou fazê-los fugir de si). Men don’t perceive makeup the same way as women and there are some things about it that they find extremely appalling!

AVISO LEGAL: I’m completely aware of the fact that most women actually don’t care about what guys think about makeup, but I think it would be fair to hear their opinion as well. 

Here are the top things about makeup guys can’t stand:

1. Os homens têm LITERALMENTE medo de batons brilhantes.

When a man sees a woman wearing bright lipstick, he can’t help but think the following: 

“I’m wondering what my lips will look like after I kiss her.” 

“I can’t focus on anything else on her except her lipstick.” 

“Man, my eyes hurt!”

De acordo com os homens, usar batom brilhante significa exagerar e arruinar a hipótese de acentuar a sua beleza natural. 

2. As pestanas falsas parecem-lhes assustadoras. 

Embora muitas mulheres pensem que as pestanas longas e luxuosas (leia-se: pestanas postiças) vão chamar a atenção dos pretendentes mais potenciais e dos homens mais sensuais, a verdade é bem diferente. 

As pestanas falsas parecem assustadoras para os homens. Porquê? Because they don’t look natural. 

Um homem chamado Sean manifestou a sua preocupação relativamente a este assunto para Cosmopolita. The reason he doesn’t like fake eyelashes is because “they’re just too long and make them [women] look like giraffes.” Ups, essa doeu! 

(I’m sure many other men support his opinion which is something you shouldn’t take for granted.)

3. Guys can’t stand eyebrows that look painted on.

Tal como os batons brilhantes, as sobrancelhas que parecem pintadas têm um aspeto artificial e exagerado. Para além de parecerem pouco convidativas, os homens também se preocupam com o facto de as sobrancelhas poderem sair. 

As a matter of fact, they simply can’t understand a woman’s tendency to do anything regarding her eyebrows, let alone paint them on. 

4. Nike as sobrancelhas são o seu maior pesadelo. 

Se perguntarmos aos homens, uma das piores tendências populares de sempre é Nike eyebrows. At first, Nike eyebrows didn’t look exactly the same as the logo but had some similarities. Nowadays, there are eyebrows made to look EXACTLY like the Nike logótipo. 

Homens: PORQUÊ?

5. A tendência do contorno é demasiado forte para elas. 

Contouring your face has become extremely popular these days primarily “thanks” to the Kardashians. Do you really want to know what men think about this trend? 

Para elas, o contorno é como pintar um quadro e o maior problema é que requer MUITA tinta (maquilhagem). 

According to a study conducted by researchers at Bangor University and Aberdeen University and published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, guys aren’t fans of that much makeup on a woman’s face. 

Conforme relatado pelo Tempo revista, “Men and women both preferred the images of the models wearing 40% less makeup than they initially put on.” 

6. They also aren’t fond of glitter in your eye makeup.

Homens: Brilho na maquilhagem dos olhos? Duplo PORQUÊ?

Here’s the thing with men. They simply can’t understand a woman’s need to put glitter or other material on her face that doesn’t have any other purpose except for looking silly (to them). 

Additionally, there’s this saying derived from a 16th-century line by William Shakespeare: “All that glitters is not gold.” 

Tradução: Nem tudo o que parece precioso ou verdadeiro acaba por o ser. 

Tradução de maquilhagem por homens: Glitter in your eye makeup won’t make you prettier. 

7. Tal como os gatos têm medo da água, os homens têm medo de batons pegajosos.

Kissing lips that look sticky isn’t something men enjoy. Actually, they are afraid of sticky lip gloss so much that they’ll even refuse to make the first move regardless of how much they like the girl. 

Maybe I overexaggerated it a bit, but that’s just how it is. Just imagine a cat being afraid of water and you’ll understand what I’m talking about. 

8. Duas palavras: Base de bolo.

A base de maquilhagem que fica pastosa acontece por três razões: 

• Not layering your makeup in the correct order. 

• Dry skin problems.

• Not using the right skin care products.

Needless to say that cakey foundation is one of the top 10 things about makeup guys can’t stand because it makes you look older, and like you don’t take good care of yourself. 

9. Men simply don’t understand the point of nude lipsticks. 

Men: What’s the point of applying something that blends with your face? 

Qualquer homem morreria por compreender por que razão tantas mulheres usam batons nude. 

Um homem expressou a sua preocupação e aborrecimento relativamente a este facto ao sítio de beleza Byrdie nos seguintes termos: “I don’t get lipstick that makes the lips the same color as women’s faces.” 

I’m sure other men sympathize with him as well. 

10. A maquilhagem escura dos olhos é desagradável para elas. 

Muitas mulheres apreciam os encantos de um look de olhos esfumados, mas está pronta para ouvir o que os homens pensam sobre ele? 

Bem, Bustle informou que “66 percent don’t find a date more attractive if she’s wearing dark eye makeup.” Evidently, guys think that dark eye makeup is a little bit too much and off-putting on a woman’s face.
