12 Hair and Makeup Looks Men Hate

well, men should watch the video Hello Kitty presents: "How to makeup like a real man" and then say something concerning women's makeup!

The just plain weird: "[It says] 'I have acne on my forehead.'" And, "maybe she's got ugly eyebrows so she's covering them." --- I do have ugly eyebrows & a wrinkles on my forehead, so yes, I have bangs to cover them up...

wow they don't like anything haha. All those things look good on some people and horrible on others. Just do what you like and who cares about what anyone else thinks. I don't live for others, I live for me :)

I enjoyed reading this, however I disagree on the red lips. Most of my friends are guys and I have yet to meet one who doesn't love the classic and sexy vibe of bright red lips.

Sounds like the men that were interviewed in for this article were a bit pretentious. So they want someone that always has perfect hair. No buns, ponytails, etc? What planet do these men live on?!

by maCee Sunday, March 3, 2013 at 08:47AM Report as inappropriate

Wait a minute--I have to disagree with some things here. Red lips (which might be intimidating) were mentioned twice. What's wrong with bangs? Depending on your facial shape and features, it might be your best look. Some of the tips were perfect, but I disagree with others.

by Pege Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 06:48PM Report as inappropriate

All sounds accurate, in my experience. However, I don't do my hair makeup for my guy, I do it for myself and because it's really fun. I love doing new looks. However, some guys do like these looks. I've met guys who love red lipstick and curly hair, albeit not huge hair like the lady, but curly/wavy all the same. Also, I find that whenever guys say they don't like makeup, it's usually not 100% true. I've had guys say this to me, only to catch checking out a women wearing makeup and really dressed up. I think that if it looks good, a woman will attract a man no matter what. I think if the hair or makeup is too obvious, then this is what's a turnoff, not so much that they're wearing makeup/hair/clothes only.

I think it really depends on the man, many of these looks are favorable by them.

by Misselizabeth Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 06:36PM Report as inappropriate

First off, women don't dress or do their make up/hair for men, they do it for themselves (most of them that is).. and yes Beauty's in the Eyes of the Beholder,many guys love red lips, others hate it, others love girls that look simple with lil make up on, others love the goth/punk look. indeed they must have been lil teen boys, they don't like anything and the comments from them are very immature and rude, and i don't think that any woman/girl with self esteem would want to date guys that superficial. my best advice is be yourself and you will attract a guy that loves you for you and how you look, instead of stop wearing things that you like to look more attractive in the eyes of those that,in the end don't like you for you. because those that care don't matter and those that matter don't care.

I get the bed headead & baseball hat thing, it could definitely make a woman look dishevelled. A dark smokey eye could be a bit intimitating as well. But the rest is insane. If curly hair or a ponytail is enough to keep you from asking a girl out, you might as well stay single.

I have a feeling that survey took place in a high school... From my experience men tend to be very much attracted to red lips, I get compliments left and right when I have red lipstick on. Of course, it all depends- we all are different, but I found the dislikes in this article very odd, and most are far from reality. Well, when it comes to more or less mature men, not teenage boys.

by venenumletalis Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 03:18PM Report as inappropriate

Were all of the guys asked arrogant 19-year-old boys? I dislike some of these styles too, but I wouldn't trust comments like those. Maybe interview 1000 grown men of many demographics.

Certain men you're attracted to are attracted to you. I have an island girl look and the guys I've always been attracted too, like my long hair and a slight tan with fair features Then there are guys who like the punk//goth look. To each is own as they say. Beauty's in the Eyes of the Beholder.

I have long her and my bf loves it! I would never cut my hair as in a guy look. its not sexy but some women can work it. But i personal think its a waste of money. You always have to cut your hair and keep up with it. And somedays you want to go for a run so i personal don't like short hair but thats me talking. I like this articular .... Anyways if you have short hair work it girl or go home and put your hair up

I agree most of my guys friends don't like the mom look they like no makeup look. They don't want to kiss someone who taste like cherry lips the want the real lips. If im going to kiss my bf im wearing eyeshadow and nude lip. Keep it simple ladies.......... Pretty much it.

Very interesting! I wear a bun all the time actually. I feel like a lot of these would depend on how well the makeup look/hair is done, the woman, etc.

by Chris213 Thursday, October 25, 2012 at 06:33AM Report as inappropriate

Of course the guys asked are going to make a sweeping judgement based on these women's looks... They magazine sent a journalist to ask men to compare and judge the girl's different looks, took what these men said out of context, edited, and published it. Duh! Truth is their are average looks that most men will find more attractive, but different looks suit different women. What a stupid article.

I don't like using the word "hate"... but I really dislike this article! I would love to meet/see the guys who gave their rude opinions. Also, these may not be the best pictures to use as an example for these trends! According to this, we should not wear lipstick, eyeliner, put our hair in ponytails or buns, but also don't just leave it down because then we look lazy! UGH! How 'bout I just continue to do what I like?!

What a horrible article to post. And this is in a website meant to help, inspire and empower people? Shame on you totalbeauty for posting such demoralizing garbage. These "men" polled seem like douche bags as well. Who said I wanted to date any of you anyway.

by AlexandraM19 Monday, October 15, 2012 at 01:20PM Report as inappropriate

I think Miriamhyde is right. All of these things that men hate really depend on the person, and the way it is worn. I, personally, do not like short hair for myself but i do think it looks great on some women. Red lips? the red looks nice on almost everyone if you can find the shade that fits you; otherwise it can look like too much. Smokey eyes should probably be kept for the night time so that you dont look overdone. Bangs are nice but i dont like the long bangs that hang low almost over your eyes. Baseball cap; it depends as well because some females can pull it off to look cute and others look like they are hiding their hair under there.

by danny54f Thursday, October 11, 2012 at 02:16PM Report as inappropriate

In general, my husband said..."All depends". Except for smokey and silvery eye. He didn't think "bedhead" woman looked like she had bedhead. Then again, he and my son have the worst bedheads I have ever seen! Maybe you should have tried "hathead"!

Reading the comments on this is actually more interesting than reading the article - for real, though, what guys actually think is probably on the minds of plenty of women, and one of many factors in the way that they present themselves.

Based on the comments, these men were only shown one example of each "beauty issue" this is biased on your part, and definitely not a good measure. I ROCK THE PIXIE CUT!

WOW, TotalBeauty. Just WOW. You asked men to judge what women choose to do to THEIR faces and THEIR hair. Then, you showed it to the millions upon millions of insecure girls. Curly hair is bad, straight hair is bad unless you brush it every two seconds, bright lips are bad, dark eyes are bad. Girls (and boys) should be able to choose what they want to do their bodies. I\'m thinking about deleting this app from my phone and finding somewhere else for product reviews.

LOL So....basically just go out with straight hair, "natural lips" (by which we mean, put on a neutral shade and pretend you didn't do anything), mascara and try to keep your eyes downcast so as to not scare off potential prey-- I mean, mates. This is odd. And strangely gay sounding. I've gotten attention-- even with a bun in my hair, or God forbid, curly hair-- and I'd say I'm a healthy 6 on hot scale. This is flawed.

This article belongs in the Cosmopolitan magazine, along with all the other beauty-bashing, demoralizing, and demanding articles already present there! Red lips: What woman hasn't ever wanted to TRY it? I know I'd love to be able to pull off red lips. A woman should wear, and dress herself up as whatever makes her feel most confident - yes, even if that means chopping your hair up to the psycho look. Confidence confidence confidence! That's what shows true beauty.

by Hmcurry Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 01:49PM Report as inappropriate

I understand why some people are confused, as men and women have very different opinions on things. For example they think its "hot" to have their trousers half way down their legs, however most women will disagree. But this doesnt mean that they change how they look! I think that if you like dark red lips and pixie cut hair then you should do what you like! You should have a guy that likes you for you, it shouldnt matter what haircut you have or what lipstick you're wearing! As long as you're happy and confident, you will find someone who will love you for YOU and not what is considered "normal!" However I do agree with the men on some of these, caked on foundation just really isn't sexy. This doesnt mean that you shouldn't wear make up, it just means not too much. Make up is all about making the most of what you have. It doesnt make you fake! When I wear make up it makes me feel more confident, and that isn't a bad thing thing that i have to wear make up to be confident, it just means that I make the most of what I have and I cant help it if I'm not naturally "perfect" looking. I think that natural beauty is over rated to be honest as we cant help how we were born to look can we?! I sometimes wish people can appreciate that but oh well, im happy and thats all that matters, right?! :)

by caitlin_hincks Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 04:55AM Report as inappropriate

I don't do it for men, my fiance does not care weather my make up is on or off or if my hair is long or short or messy or in a pony tail. I wear make up and I wear it pretty dark. I DO NOT wear it to please men, I do it because of the same reason I dress in dark clothes or the same reason I listen to music. It is to express who I am and what I am feeling. To david_francis...bug off off seriously. Not everyone has had a princess life, and some people actually wear make up or dark clothes because they are EXPRESSING themselves. Or they leave their hair because they like it and it suits them. I could really care less about what these men have to say about hair and make up, I have the man I want and he thinks I'm beautiful with and without make up, or even when I just wake up. So please...just shut up. I dress and wear my hair and make up how I do, because it expresses who I am and how I feel, not that I am looking for a man or am trying to impress a man. So grow a pair and quit thinking that you know how women feel and think.

I love that most of the people who are arguing with this article are women. I find almost all of these true. Another look that I find annoying is is the bangs pulled back in the front like Gwen Stefani and Scarlett Johanson used to have. Most girls that wear a lot of eye make up have those sunk in lines. At least that is what I find out with most after we go swimming or after a shower. Still not saying that these will not say I won't mess around with women with these looks. I just won't stay committed to someone with them or drop hints about perhaps changing it. I think dark lipstick makes many women look like drag queens. I also hate when the outline of the lips is much darker than the lipstick itself. That just screams tranny.

I have very curly, long hair and my boyfriend would have it no other way. He's actually sad if I straighten it. It so much more beautiful when women embrace who they really are.

by SweetB2005 Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 08:04AM Report as inappropriate

Let's face it...if a guy can get what he wants, he doesn't care what your hair or makeup looks like! That said, I think it is more important for a woman to feel good about herself and how she looks on the inside and the outside. And, it is important for women to remember, "pretty is, as pretty does." (Doesn't matter what you look like if you are an evil witch inside.) that said, I have very curly hair which I usually make straighter. My husband thinks its hot when it's curly. Other guys in my life HATE it when it's curly. Now, to whom am I more interested in being appealing? Should be hubby! However, if I wasn't married, I would want to fall in love with the man who found me attractive the way I am; the way I feel happiest with myself.

I have big crazy curly hair.. and my boyfriend LOVES it, he tells me every day.. Seriously, who doesn't put their hair up in a bun or pony once and a while!? Who was polled for these results.. Pauly D and the Situation?... REAL women are beautiful, not fake, over-done girls that spend hours on end trying to look like anything but themselves..

Ok so was it a guy that came up with all of these and how nerdy was he? I agree that if your make up is too dark or too bright you might as well give up but pony tails are easy when you are a mom and in a rush with 3 kids. We are not out to amaze men..we are out to feel good for ourselves so if a man feels intimidated because I have bangs well tough luck sissy

To David who thinks all women do things for men... Men can take off. I don't do anything for men. I want to look good FOR ME. It's about what I want. If some jack hole doesn't like me because of my hair, he can take a long walk off of a short pier. It doesn't matter what he thinks. It matters what *I* think. Women who do their hair/make up for men have issues with themselves. If I did all of that for men, I would look way different then I do now. This list honestly sounds like men don't like anything. Some men don't like short hair and others don't like long. Why not just have categories. That would have made more sense.

I'm a straight male and I can say I agree fully with 10 out of 12. Dislike bangs, dislike the raccoon eyes, pixie cuts or any short hairstyles is a no no..Especially in Emma Watson's case. Couldn't tell if she was a woman or a boy. My biggest one is the dark red lipstick. Especially if they have full thick lips. They end up looking like the joker. Its interesting to read the comments. You have half of them being butt hurt and feeling insecure because they found out their "look" is something not to be desired. You have the other half spewing bs out of rage. The ones going "I do it for myself to make myself look good, men should not dictate how I should look"..Shut up. You do it to attract the opposite sex. You spend an hour in front of the mirror and hundreds of dollars on makeup to look pretty..FOR MEN. Women that go "I do it for myself not a man" is either an idiot or shes subconsciously doing it for men and just doesn't realize it. This is just one of the many 'studies' that ask such a small irrelevant amount of people in their 20's (brain dead age range) and people act as if it holds merit. If people are getting insecure over things like this....then yeaaaaaaaaaaa. Now if it asked to put a poll up on askmen/gq/fhm and several other sites then you could be throwing a hissy.

The problem with these pictures is they're not real women. They're actresses who are held to a different standard of what's "acceptable" to wear for hair, makeup and clothes (ahem, Lady Gaga). If they took pictures of popular looks on REAL women--aka not models or actresses--and had them wearing a realistic look I think the results would be a little different. For example I have bangs but definitely not the ones in the Jessica Alba picture. Hers are too full and long. Most women I see wearing bangs have it side swept and easy going but still pretty. No wonder that guy thought she was hiding something like bad eyebrows and acne!

What a male loves or loathes is accompanied by inconsistencies that make their claims appear counterfeit. There are exceptions, naturally.

It seems that way from this angle at least. Or did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

Great insight but I think the above remarks about "makeup/hair men hate" is a little misleading due to at times in our life ... Age which has a lot to do with it, dressing for an event or just because the looks/makeup can be flattering and appealing to a man. For instance red lipstick can be stunning with a black evening gown when your younger, a ponytail can be fun if your very busy, a short hair cut can be stunning on a middle age woman, raccoon/silver eyes canbe quite fun and stunning at a nightclub, or rock concert.

By the way I have been an offender of almost all of the above and have NEVER had any trouble snagging guys, getting drinks bought for me (when I did drink), and I've been proposed to twice (and am happily married). Confidence in anything you do goes a long way and if a guy is intimidated by you.....he isn't the guy for you. Changing your personal style to appeal to a guy is so wrong on so many levels. You should know you well enough to know what YOU like and if a guy likes you, he should like you for who you are.....not for who you made yourself over to be. It won't last if you aren't yourself from the gate....the question is....do you know who you are? Once you do.....ppl will not be able to get enough of you.

These stats are wrong. Or very location-dependent. I'm from NYC and I've dated guys that have said "I wish you wore your your hair up more often, I love to see your neck," and (upon my asking if guys even like red lipstick, "Are you kidding? It's so sexy, when I saw your red lips I wanted to come over." And they sure did, and there were number exchanges and follow-ups on their ends, thank you very much. I'm not even going to suggest that you take a more representative survey because guys can hardly articulate what they like until it's walking by them.

The sample size that the article is based on cannot hope to be statistically significant. Men do not all think alike, so stop trying to pigeonhole us.

This is stupid. According to this article, the only way I can have hair that men find attractive, is if I spend thousands of dollars on my hair a year. My hair is very fine and soft and it only looks good natural if it's short/edgy, if I grow it long, it will look mousy and easily to tangled to look like "bed head." Otherwise I'd have to spend at least $1200 a year on hair extensions. Men don't understand how much time and money and thought women spend on their looks.

Who gives a crap what men hate, note to you guys its not about you. Women dress to impress and or compete with other women. When Jess gets a new hair cut, and Jenny sees it, Jenny might get a new hair cut, but just a bit better than Jess, its a competition. Guess what John when Jenny got that hair cut you were the last thing on her mind. Women want what other women want or have. Men you are the last thing on our minds, unless it appears that your are desirable, your desirably is attached to the woman on your arm, in girl world everyone wants what the queen bee wants or has. Repeat after me men, you opinion on how we look does not matter, only the opinions of other women do.

Have the same guy get asked about these looks while his girlfriend is standing there wearing one of these and I bet he goes straight to having no opinion quick. Also my husband wanted it known that he disagrees completely with the bright red lipstick one as well as the edgy shag cut.

First off, the pictures shown were NOT flattering ones. As someone else said, the answers would have been totally different if the people had been shown good pictures of the same looks. Secondly, this covers pretty much everything ever. "Don't have short hair, but don't wear your long hair in a pony tail, a bun, or let it be curly. Don't wear red lipstick or visible eye shadow".

Men should have no opinion. There's always an article that surveys men about what they like or don't like on women. And in other articles men want natural no fuss looks, some think girls who can wear baseball caps are cool and sexy. but other want women to show some interest in their looks as if they care, so the men feel like the women care about them some how or other. Obviously there should be a balance, and for most first impression should be subtle, then once you get in the relationship you can be more natural with the baseball caps and out of bed hair. But remember to keep maintenance , show that you still care about your looks and about the spark in the relationship.

The problem with today's girls is that today's moms aren't teaching you how to look presentable in public. Instead, you learn from celebrities who don't even dress themselves! And please stop the male-bashing ladies! It's not ladylike. Men have their likes and dislikes just as women do. So respect it and take it as an honest critic. And just a little hint: The purpose of make up is to look natural. Not like a mannequin. One more hint: The more make up and unnatural style you apply to yourself, guys will translate is as you are a very UNATTRACTIVE person once you wash your face. Guys really want to know what you look like with out it all piled on.

This is the most despicable garbage I have ever read! STOP TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO WEAR THEIR MAKEUP! we all have different makeup styles and we as adults need to respect that! I love how the black liner looks on Arab/Iranian eyes, Ive seen gorgeous makeup in my life! how dare you try to limit people. I also disagree with telling people what foundation/blush,eyeshadow,etc they should wear, its really tacky and rude. Some people prefer to look pale/paler...look at dita von teese for instance, she stays clear from the sun to avoid darkening in an interview she told reporters that. Some people like to be darker and sun kissed with bronzer on top of that, its your personal preference. Its just jealousy that someone would point that out, who is anyone to tell someone theyre wearing a too light or too dark foundation, because there is no such thing. Nicole and Sam from pixiwoo(huge makeupartists in Britain) sometimes wear paler or darker foundation and it looks gorgeous! as long as people blend it to the neck its fine....some people prefer to look bright and radiant rather than dim and dark/dull. People who are already light can wear any foundation they want and not look ashen. This is NOT what men think. This is what bitter individuals think! leave people be! I agree witht he females on this site that these "tips" are trash! let people do them! you dont have somoen telling you how to live your life..but God forbid you wear a red lipstick! Red lipstick on full beautiful looks is gorgeous, eyeliner only enhances gazelle like gorgeous eyes , mascara accentuates the fullness of lashes! stop trying to use men as scapegoats! men dont sit and analyze makeup!

I agree with SummerOrchid’s comment – the guys didn’t want sloppy unkempt looks, but also put down the women wearing nice makeup. Soo… the final outcome left me confused. Guess men like straight, clean hair with no bangs, and no bright or dark makeup. Kinda boring! Men need to liven up!

The opinions you found are so strange. The men had no appreciation whatsoever for the beautiful makeup, but all but demanded that they look good and put together. How old were the guys that were surveyed? They need to get it together.

by SummerOrchid Monday, November 21, 2011 at 02:10AM Report as inappropriate

Also, from my experience as a woman who has more male friends than female friends, guys don't actually care much about women's hair and makeup. We do it to compete with each other, not to catch some a-hole's eye at the bar.

And what is YOUR reason to allow the post of such comments like, "Why would I want to be near that hair?", except to harm an image of individualized beauty???? As an Insider, this disgusts me as it only serves to make women that HAVE one or more of "12 HAIR AND MAKEUP LOOKS MEN HATE" to feel self conscious about their natural beauty and style.

I find this article to be complete SH*T and if you actually narrow down to "what men would like" according to who wrote this. It's sounds like a pretty boring girl who doesnt enjoy being a woman and experimenting with her look. BORING! This probably speaks loads to whoever wrote this.

lol, no offense to the women but this is actually extremely accurate, articles like this don't promote trends and products which is why they aren't publicized often, but all articles like this I've read have had the same results. This isn't saying these styles are unattractive, and not all men dislike them, but these are generalized as to what men see when they see these images. Men don't see past the bedhead to know that there's work put into the hair and it's sexy, they just see the bedhead, and think it's dirty and messy. Men don't understand beauty the way women do and this is what they really think. Most men think red lips are old and too made up, they think smoky eyes are scary and overdone, they think buns ponytails and such are boring and plain, they think short hair is mom hair, they like natural makeup because when they can't see the makup so obviously, they think it's natural beauty. It's true, and don't call the men rude because they were asked to give honest first impressions. My boyfriend likes some of the things in here, so this isn't to say all men are like this, and that all these things are no longer wearable. It's just informative, don't take it so seriously, and don't take it so literally. I personally find it amusing. Men's views of makeup are funny. Once I asked my bf if he liked an eyeshadow quad better than another one and he said no, and when I asked him why he said that he liked the green in the other one, not the blue in this one. And I was like, uhm you use more than one at once, not just the green by itself, and he was like oh.. Well I have no idea, just buy something. lol.

by ColoredDove Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 10:22PM Report as inappropriate

This is ridiculous. What a way to make women MORE paranoid than they already are. No curly hair. No bangs. No this. No that. Why don't you write an article about how women should just look the same so we all have a chance to find our Prince Charming?

I'm a male and I liked most of these looks quite a bit. The ones I did not like, well I just did not like them. Not like I hated them and felt the need to criticize them. To each their own. None of them looked bad to me, just a few didn't catch my fancy. This article was rather lame to me. Seems like it was just another article to make women insecure to go out and buy new products.

Don;t take this too seriously. AS a man I can say that I don't pay too much attention to such things. Different looks suit different women. Just go with what feels natural to you. I have no problem with baseball caps or bangs as well. A contrived look is more likely to attract a shallow person who is more hung up on a look than they are about the real person. ;-)

Most women don't wear their makeup or hair because they care the way men like it, rather we care how other women like or dislike it. Other than pleasing ourselves, statistics show women care more how other women see them than men, and no this is not lesbian women, but heterosexual women. Is it because we set out standards or get our approval from what other women think of us? Is it competitive? Who knows. But the truth is, most men could really care less, as long as we look good enough, are not an embarrassment , (and of course trophy girls are always welcome, but best not loose their stature! ). This article was archaic, sexist, bad taste and all wrong. For all the rights and freedoms women fought for us in the 60’s, 70’s and long before and long after (still are in many ways) shame on the lady that would let any man control how she is to dress, look, talk or walk.

Wow - I've done many of these things and people (mostly guys) loved it. Pixie cut you have to have the right kind of face to pull off - same with the edgy cut - same as bangs (you can also do softer bangs, they don't have to be so blunt) I adore red lipstick but don't wear it everyday, and for a daytime look I use more of a sheer red, more of a tint. And I don't wear baseball caps but I've heard guys love it when women wear stuff like that? It's cute and casual.
