I have never read such utter tosh as l am sure some ‘good looking’ women are really quite ugly with no make-up on.

There is some truth in that,PooBear,....my son has met a few, so he tells me, I guess it’s just down to what you have both experienced.....

Some good looking woman are quite ugly with no make up.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder imo,Art,with or without make up, of course I would let my man see me without make up, if he proposed to me, I would hate to shock him in the morning,once we were married,

Who gets to decide whether a woman (or bloke) is good looking?
Some people might say, oh that person is drop dead gorgeous.
Others might say, someone is average looking, or plain, or even downright ugly, but in both cases, they are the beholder. In the first case the beholder sees beauty, yet in the second case they don't.
Another person (beholder) might say the complete opposite.
I have seen and met many women, and seen images of even more. Sometimes I have seen or heard an opinion that they are considered beautiful, yet I don't see it myself.
There are some women I see and think, yes, they are really good looking, beautiful even, but others do not agree with me.
When I first met my Lovely Cousin, I thought she was pretty, but I certainly wasn't attracted to her. It was a full year later that it began to dawn on me that she had a schoolgirl crush on me. I have never considered myself to be good looking. Less than average looks in my opinion, but that isn't what she saw.
Now I think she is beautiful, but not just because she is good looking in my opinion. It's her kind heart and her gentle ways that I love as well that I find beautiful.
Others might get a glimpse of this when they meet her, but nobody knows her like I do, and nobody can see or ever know the beauty within that I see.
I am one very lucky beholder.
