Yes, i'd take up a makeover, etc. And guys who fear foundation and so on to look handsome are usually gorgeous.

I don't like it when it's done to make you look perfect.
One of my exes, for instance, used makeup to cover up a huge scar he got in a fight, only because he didn't want his co-workers asking a billion questions. To me, that's fine.
Another guy I used to work with, used it because he wanted to appear modelesque but didn't wanna put down the sodas and the other things causing his acne. To me, that's a little too superficial.
Me, i'd use it in the un-traditional sense; war paint. Otherwise, fuck it.

the awesome thing about makeup is that it can be war paint or something beautiful or bold, even subtle and subdued, makeup covers so many bases

Since you've been talking to each other for 4 months I'm sure you've exchanged Face-Pics by cell-phone. Did you have on makeup in the Face-pic you sent him?
You need to start using a Bar of Natural Cocoa Butter soap and use it 7 days a week and you will see the acne scars begin to "lighten-up" and blend into your natural skin-tone. Along with using the Soap you need to drink 8 glasses of water a day...
Cutting back on junk-food is a plus and really a must. You have the power to change the way your Skin looks...You have to control what goes into your body and use a Natural Cocoa butter that will help blend in those scars on the outside of your body...

Just be yourself. A little cover-up so you're certain he's not fixating at a day-glo red shining lump on your forehead - fine. All this other OTT bullshit about mascara and eye-shadow flapping around this thread - Jesus. Is every gay guy in here a drag queen? Are you sure?
Remember, the reason women wear make-up and perfume is because they're ugly and they smell. Sure, the ancient Eqyptians wore makeup and so did Louis the manyteenth - that was a few hundred/thousand years ago and times have changed. God killed the Egyptians and the French Revolution got rid of the aristos, so figure it out - we don't do that whole make-up thing anymore unless we're professional clowns.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you people? Can none of you just go around looking like what you actually, you know, look like?

I think he was kidding, love. 
He'd better be kidding. Else I'ma have to bitch-slap him.
Those rings leave marks.

I was mostly not-kidding, Swellegant. I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with fake facades. Go out wearing your own face, warts and all. If you want a tan, go get a real tan instead of that ridiculously orange fake-tan bullshit.
Why on earth anyone would want to walk around looking like badly-photoshopped mock-up of a still from a Saturday Night Live sketch is beyond me.
So at the end of the day, you take the make-up off and feel shit about yourself. How is that beneficial to anyone?
At the end of the day, I want to be in love with the person you ARE, not the person you feel you can't be without hiding behind a ton of pointless shit crammed all over your face. I understand the use of these things for health and medical reasons, of course, but purely cosmetic just comes off as vain and unnecessary and makes you a poser.

But what if wearing makeup has become part of who that person is? Part of their personality or their daily routine?
Also, what if the blemishes being covered are only temporary and not actually who the person usually is and they're just trying to make themselves appear more like they do on a daily basis?
On a side note: Would you say that someone who picks out good looking clothes for themselves makes them come off as vain or poser-ish? I mean, choosing clothes that enhance your appearance is unnecessary.
Personally, I use concealer and a loose-powder a few times a week. Its mostly to cover temporary blemishes and my sunglasses tan... Silly me for wearing sunglasses at all times when I'm out xD

^Honestly, I'm not sure how long it takes for make-up to become part of your personality, as you put it. I'm not sure that it ever does. But I still think it's posing. And as I said, I can understand a little concealer because you might be self-conscious about a red mark or a brewing pimple, but all this talk of multicoloured eyeliners and mascara and stuff - man, take it to the circus. I think it is possible to just be trying too hard.
The point you raise about clothes is interesting and I'm not sure I can answer it properly. When you say "enhance your appearance" do you mean like a Wonderbra? As the joke goes, they call it a Wonderbra because when she takes it off you wonder where her awesome boobs went. Having said that I was thinking about this as well in terms of hairstyles, and again I can't adequately fit that in with my stance on make-up.

You should know better than to try and fit new information into a preexisting stance. New information that may disagree with existing information means you rethink your stance from the bottom up.
Some of what you say, I agree with... I don't see the point of using makeup for rank deception. But a little enhancement is what our efforts toward dressing and grooming ourselves is all about. Wearing flattering colors, choosing flattering hairstyles, and even touching up with a bit of pigment and reflection are all part of the same urge to make ourselves more attractive.
Now, it is better to simply take good care of your skin than to cover it up with paint, just as it's better to take good care of your body rather than just squish it into a corset and pad it where it lacks. But artifice is its own pleasure: using your person as a canvas for self-expression. That can be done with makeup as well as clothes or tattoos or piercings. It's decoration rather than deception.
You mention orange spray-tans over natural sun damage, and I agree that the former is much worse than the latter; just as it is not really an enhancement to cover your natural mouse-brown or gray hair with a brittle piss-yellow bleach job with roots. But these kinds of things are unsuccessful not because they're not "natural" but because they're ugly in and of themselves. Jazzing up your naturally red hair with a bit of henna, or even tinting the gray with something a little more definite is no different from getting a good cut or using some gel to keep it where you want it; a bit of bronzer or even a spray tan, if done properly, is a great substitute for exposure to potentially carcinogenic solar rays... and if it's done right, you'll never know the difference.
A push-up bra will certainly make your boobs look bigger, but that's not really the point... the point is a more pleasing line, a more eye-catching curve, a more sensuous shape. Nobody's boobs just stand up and point forward naturally, all bras create artificial shape, so what difference does it make if the line is more or less rounded?
Why do men's suits always have shoulder pads? To make your shoulders look bigger and your waist look smaller (which is what they do), or to present a cleaner and more structural line? Why is a shoulder-pad just a line but a push-up bra is a deception?
I have no answer for that, but I expect it has something to do with the sexual importance we place on some parts over others. Nobody is a shoulder-queen or a waist man... you're a size queen or a breast man. The size of a man's package or a woman's boobs are objective criteria for your attraction, so of course you're going to be disappointed when you get them home and undressed and all their allure goes away.
In terms of makeup, again you're traveling into gender separation territory. "Makeup is for girls!" But why? Because it's been marketed to them, is why. There is no "natural" reason that a woman should wear mascara but a man should not. The culture of makeup has been the province of women only in the last century... and cosmetics as we know them didn't even exist a hundred years ago.
Anyway, if you're interested in the psychology of makeup and appearance-enhancement, there has been a lot of study done in that field; if you're not terribly interested, detachment is probably a more defensible stance.

Some guys look really hot with a little dark around the eyes. I think it works on some guys, but too many guys try to do it and it doesn't work on them. Make up all over the face is usually a turn off for me.

Were you joking?
I said a little dark around the eyes, but he has all the full works on his face. He is the perfect example of a turn off to me. I'm not saying he is ugly, he looks like Kristen Bell at times.
I'm not sexually attracted to her either though.

Dior Bronze and Lip gloss (Two Faced - Snow Bunny or Lip injection). are the most anyone will get from me...And because I'm bronze to begin with...the only reason I use Dior Bronze is to keep my color even regardless of season.
