What Message Is Your Face Giving Off?

A post posted on the PsyBlog suggest that women who wear makeup have greater advantages than women who choose to go without. A study done in France, took two women and had them compare their men gravitational skills while wearing makeup and then bare faced. The chances of the two women picking up a man with a face on was more likely than with a cleaned face. The women sat at a bar and made suggestive signals to show that they had made contact with a man by crossing their arms. The frequency of them crossing their arms was much more frequent when the women had makeup on. In fact, 1.3 times more. Does this study mean that women should wear makeup to find a soul mate? Maybe not, but the chances of attracting a man are more likely with that gorgeous face on.
So, what else does this post tell us about women and makeup. Taking a deeper look in, would you say that makeup gives off a certain message to others. I most certainly would. Makeup is an extension of who you are, just like your clothing. Therefore, going out of the house with a bare, blank face, while standing next to a women wearing a red lip, may say to others that you just don't care about how you look. It may even say that you are a boring person, while the women with the red lips is telling other that she is confident, successful, and exciting.
Makeup tells a lot about a person, surprisingly. An article on Carefare.com, says that a fresh face gives off the impression that you are a caring person, and your personality is just as beautiful as your beautiful nude look. your are determined and overbearing, but you are very likable because of your golden classic look. This golden blend tells others that they can trust you. Add a little pop of color with a color liner or a raspberry lip and you'll be telling people that your daring. Different makeup definitely gives off a lasting impression on those who you come in contact with.
These two articles both explore the benefits of makeup. They tell the plain Jane, lonely women that maybe to liven up her life, she should consider makeup. Many women do not see the need to wear makeup, but studies like the one above show that makeup does have a place in a woman's life. It can send off the messages that some women are afraid to just come out and say.
Let your makeup do the talking.
