I think I love color and makeup so much that I like to see all kinds of looks. Just like sometimes I feel like trying something new, or something bright, or just trying to enhance my own looks, I like to see other people play around and express themselves in various ways.

Colorful and/or artsy! That's really the only reason I love makeup. :D

I personally love colorful...i love red lips and great hairdo w/ colorful clips in there...thats just me...but some people may look better with less stuff on their faces, but some look great if you really doll it up!! Depends on the person, and the personality...but for me COLOR is king. Sheila

It depends on their style, hair colour etc. I think different things look good/bad on different people.

I don't really care, most of my girlfriends don't put on make up.. But if they did, I'd say something well blended for once would be great! And skip the natural colors, if that's not too much to ask for :>

I like seeing both colourful and avant garde :)

I like colorful if is tasteful and done correctly. Natural is nice as well. I am not crazy about seeing someone with tons of make-up on - especially foundation.

I like seeing any makeup on women, especially the right lipstick. It brightens the face and just makes anyone look better! and it looks more polished.

I just like seeing someone in makeup that they like and are comfortable with. If someone likes only wearing mascara, or they like going the whole nine yards, then that's great! I personally love colourful makeup on myself, but I prefer seeing others in makeup that makes them feel comfortable and brings out who they are, regardless of what kind of makeup it happens to be.

Do you know what? I just like seeing people wearing make up. I'm a mum of 3, always out of the house early to take the children to school/nursery, but still I always wear some make up, even if it's only mascara, face powder and lipgloss. Then I see all these women coming to school with their children or going to work not wearing any make up at all. My mum's the same. But whatever people say, nobody looks too perfect for a little make up not to make them look better. And to be honest, some women could do with a lot of make up, you know what I mean? ;)

I choose not to been seen as natural/boring (to me natural is boring) so I like to see others all made up colorful, interesting and chic. But that's just me.

I personally like to see people wearing a little "over the top" make up, because I always wear natural make up. So just something different from time to time.

I like to see it ll. The good , bad , and OMG!! did she look in the mirror this morning! I like to get ideas from other peoples creativity but I also like to see the bad so I know what to avoid. Plus... the bad always leaves the door open to me handing out my business card!!

I love to see anything elegant and elegance doesn't always mean a neutral look. A sophisticated placement of colour combinations is always timeless. Understanding the colour wheel can assist how one approaches colour. I have noticed very confident women puts her face first and her makeup second.

It would really depend, I do appreciate a natural beauty look, but I also like to see other people's creativity at hand.

i love makeup that accentuates someone's features. i also love colorful makeup, but usually when i see it, it's poorly applied and garish. lime green eyeshadow all the way up to the eyebrows? no, please. no.

Anything.. as long as it's well applied. I hate seeing color used with little technique or judgment. It just looks cheap.

I second this!! Makeup that isn't well blended or properly applied looks like crap.

I agree as well. I don't like badly applied makeup or using makeup that is not flattering.
