Natural beauty?
I've always been the type to go for natural looking women. This is probably due to growing up in the South where foundation isn't just a good idea, it's the law! I remember the first time I came home from a date and found the left shoulder of my white shirt was no longer white but skin-colored. Ick.
So I've never bought into the made-up, hot model thing. I know what make-up does and while it's fine once in a while, I've always been happier looking at a naturally clean and pretty face and being with people who were stunningly beautiful on the inside.
But I'm probably not in the majority. The concept of beauty has been pushed far beyond it's natural limits with the megamarket it's become and the wonders of Photoshop. As a response to the spiralling madness, Dove has started a "Campaign for Real Beauty" and released this video as an example. Definitely check it out. It's a pretty amazing transformation

I wear mascara every once in a while, and that's it. I don't even own other makeup. It's not that my appearance isn't important to me, it's that I don't consider makeup an important part of my appearance. Foundation always seemed gross to me. My sister wears it and I always thought it made her look less attractive.
That Photoshop sequence is fantastic. Hope this ad URL gets passed around every teenage girl in My Space... :)
