   Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Some people might be self conscious (excuse my poor spelling)Or perhaps to attract someone.And to cover up spots.I myself, dont spend hours and hours putting on makeup and curling or straightening my hair. I spend about 20 minutes max straightening my hair. And about 3 minutes for makeup.Some people have natural beauty but put on gallons of makeup and dont need it but claim they do.But I dont see the point in doing it for hours everyday either..x

   I suppose people wear it for different reasons. I wear it to hide blemishes and to make myself feel more confident. I don't wear it to attract people, though no one would ever be attracted to me if I didn't wear makeup. So yeah, for me, it's to boost my self-confidence. For others, it could be about getting admirers… I guess it all depends on the person. If wearing makeup makes someone happy, then I don't see why they shouldn't wear it.Hope I helped, xx Source(s): Brainnn

   I am a man, a cowboy, and do not wear makeup. But I expect when women wear it is mostly for self expression, the same reason they wear jewelry and fashions. Also, women compete for status by levels of physical attractiveness. Esp the types in big business and those who want to be married to rich powerful men. The oldest use of makeup is probably to mimic sexual arousal, by reddening the cheeks and lips, and drawing attention to the eyes for purposes of seduction. Source(s): The women in my life.

   I think that make-up is about hiding flaws, but mostly about confidence. If somebody is confident about the way they look then they generally are more happy on the inside. If your ill, you get treatment so whats wrong with making yourself feel better in a simple way? I put make-up on everyday, i try and be subtle but i wouldn't want to face the world without it and im only young. Personally, it helps me feel that i look better, so i feel better inside and have the confidence to deal with what ever i come accross. x

   I don't like to put on make up..especially foundation >.< i'm fine with how I look and I dunno..I've just never been into makeup. In fact some girls put on SO MUCH it looks bad and just damages their skin over the years..but I do straighten my hair, not all the time though..I get lazy lol. Women put on makeup and do these thing with our hair because of fashion..just like guys gel their hair or I guess shave or grow a beard..it's fashion, a way to look.

   Some times we feel better if we think we look better.
