Lip Stick, Powder And Paint

Just curious here,
Why do females wear makeup? Yes, I know that its become fashionable for men too to some extent but its always been a womanly thing. ''Ive got to put my face on'' was always my ex's saying, like she didn't already own a face?
Some of the most desirable women Ive known (and slept with on occasion) have used next to no makeup.
Why the need to plaster good looks with artificial grease? (and most women ARE good looking without it)

Not knocking anyone personal prefferences, just curious.
Thanks.

Day to day for scuffing about the house or going to the shops I never wear make up, when I do it's because I'm going to be seen where it benefits me to look my best, or because I want to look nice for my partner or I'm working and it's expected and necessary, plus you can lose half a stone looks wise with good contour and that never hurts on photos. I quite like men with guyliner as a side note, I think it suits most men, very few seem to wear it though.

I don't wear foundation or lipstick at any time, even if I'm out for an evening. I always wear eyeliner, just because my eyes look like peeholes in the snow without some kind of definition.
I don't like plastered on makeup. Makes you wonder what's underneath.

I wear tinted moisturiser with spf . Three jobs in one. :-)

I like that fact that Ladies like to make themselves look pretty and gives themselves more confidence, I do like the more natural enhancer look than the 'gees what are you hiding'.

Only if I need to be someone else. Seriously though eyeliner, false lashes, dark lippy, on a very pale base no blusher.
