	Do turkish men prefer women with make-up (mascara, foundation, lipstick etc....) or without make-up.
 
 My opinion- I have not yet worn make-up with Omer.  He loves "natural beauty", or so he claims. 
 
 I see Turkish women, and I find them quite beautiful, and wonder what he sees in me without make-up.
 Thoughts?

	What does it matter what Turkish men prefer???
 If you feel better with makeup, wear it - if not then don't!!!
 
 Simple really.......

	My immediate response- it doesn't matter.
 
 I love being free of make-up. ( I have to dress up an wear make-up for my job)  But, when free form (make-up free), in Istanbul, I see so many beautiful women, quite made up.  I can't help but wonder if I am attractive without make-up.
 
 Omer says yes.... but I still wonder.
 
 We are much more casual in the USA- I often go out in sweat pants and T-shirt.  Unheard of Turkey.  
 
 Why all of the discussion?  I am preparing to live in Turkey.  I think I have to adjust my living styles.

	When I was in Turkey it was too hot to wear make-up.  It just melted off.  I was make-up free all the time and so were most of the other women.  Maybe in night clubs people wore some but I didn't see excessive make-up anywhere.  Once I was at a pool and my lips, i have large ones, felt dry, so I put on some clear chapstick.  There was a group of men next to me that went crazy because I was putting on chapstick.  They told me that, that was sexy.  Who knows.  But I think in general men prefer women to look beautiful naturally.  I live in US and many men here prefer minimal to no make-up. I am also from California where natural beauty is praised.

	I have no problems with make-up, I am NOT against it if it makes one woman feel better and look prettier.
 I come from south america where most women wear quite a lot of make up (I'm from Chile) and I do wear it , not a lot but I do and it makes me feel prettier FOR MYSELF not for others ....what I mean to say is : 
 
 - Be yoursel, If you like it DO wear it !!!
 -If you prefer to look more "natural" don't but...I WOULD NEVER change it because the man who I am with  does not want me to wear it!! if so..I'd tell him to look for a  "make-up free" girl then!!
 
 Just try to moderate it because some women wear TOO MUCH and some might look like a w*** you know what I mean.
 What do men prefer?? IT'S NOT IMPORTANT ! What counts is what YOU PREFER  and how you feel about it...I'd make up the same way in Chile, Turkey , Saudi Arabia or Sudan....

 I am sure I have lots to learn about Turkish culture.....
 But I do not understand why a girl worries about what men think about them with or without makeup - and if they are unsure then why don't they simply ask their boyfriend?????
 
 Makeup is to make the wearer feel happier - not onlookers!!!
