There is a difference between cutting and maybe even filing down our nails and getting a manicure at a salon like some guys (straight guys at that) apparently do these days. I was talking about the latter

No thanks.Unless itās just to cover up acne or something.
I donāt really understand the trend of girls liking feminine look on boys like Korean boy bands.

I donāt know for catholic men specifically but my guess is that they are like all men generally.
In my opinion men fall into two categories:
1.liking the natural look (no makeup or simple makeup)
or
2.Saying they like the natural look but still acting attracted/turned in by women with āglamour lookā
Eg:I know of guys who say they like ānatural beautyā but then still follow women with surgery enhanced boobs,lips etc on Instagram.
In all honesty,I think most men like makeup free or natural makeup which is not good for me (as a woman) as I āhaveā to put on more now with major age/sickness changes.
Unfortunately thereās the misperception amongst men,(and many women) that all women who wear heavy makeup are not natural minded,or vain,or high maintenance etc and some people judge you,but I wish people would realise that not all women with heavy makeup are like that.Some of us are just insecure etc.
Generally many men anyway canāt tell the difference between no makeup vs natural makeup and only know when itās obvious.
A lot of guys think that natural look makeup is no makeup even though the girl may have spent two hours putting it on.
It peeves me the way some men put down/criticise women with heavy makeup or cosmetic surgery but then talk with admiration about how some other woman is a natural beauty without makeup like as if it is something that that girl earned.
Being naturally pretty is not something that anyone can earn like you can earn a degree etc.Its Gods blessing and also can be transient (eg:I used to pretty when young now Iām not) so-and maybe this is just my jealousy talking-I donāt think men should put those women on a pedestal for something that wasnāt achieved through merit.

I can only speak for myself, not for all Catholic men. I like it when my wife wears make-up that is subtle and not overdone (which is how she usually wears it). But if the make-up stands out, so that it draws attention to itself, then I donāt like it so much. Having said that, I think my wife is beautiful with or without make-up.

I donāt think most normal Catholic men even think about this to be honest.

My boyfriend will tell me I am beautiful no matter makeup or no makeup. I used to rely on makeup a lot more for confidence, but now if I have time for it in the morning, it is something fun I can do. God created you exactly as you are which is beautiful. A little calm me-time before I go into work is nice and I like putting on mascara or highlighter. I wonāt stress if I donāt wear it out of the house or when he sees me.
I donāt think wearing makeup is the key factor in knowing if someone is vain or not. If you are comfortable and not doing anything for ābadā reasons then I think youāre fine!

What do guys think of women who wear makeup? Hubba hubba.
Jk
I know saying donāt worry about what others think doesnāt mean much- if we are honest we are all concerned with how we appear to others on some level. But really you just need to do you, and you will attract guys who like what you do. Itās a self-solving problem. If you like wearing makeup, wear it. If you donāt, donāt.
I can also say with a high level of confidence that the vast majority of guys are unable to tell if a woman is wearing makeup or not and/or simply do not pay attention to that kind of thing. Really the only time men consciously think, āthat woman has makeup onā is if it is very obvious and overdone. Like 3in fake lashes, bright red lips, glitter and and half a centimeter ofā¦whatever kind of makeup goes on the face, on the face.
Personally I think the only thing I ever notice is mascara, and Iām just guessing on that one half the time.

My husband always remarks if I donāt wear a little lipstick.
I donāt have to look at me. He does!
So I remember to put on some lippy each day, and otherwise donāt find the need to use any other cosmetics.

My husband said you donāt wear makeup do yo after I had just put it on. I used base blush and concealer. So not much but still.

I donāt think my husband would have noticed if I had makeup on or not, unless some of it rubbed off on his face when he hugged me, even then I might have had to tell him he had a smudge.
Which was perfect for me because any man who expected me to wear makeup or expected me to not wear makeup or expected much of anything would have been shown the door after a few dates. I donāt like expectations other than the normal ones, like donāt drain the bank accounts.

I can honestly say for my part, and I know most of my friends who are decent think the same, that women are most beautiful when they are themselves. Personally, I think some make up is fine, it can be great and really add confidence to a girl, but looks only matter for 15 minutes or so. You could be the most beautiful thing on earth but if you arenāt a good person, or have a nice personality, a good guy isnāt going to be interested in you for long.
Take your priestās advice. Many of the saints lived in different times, but you can be certain they looked after their appearances. I cant imagine Our Lady went about looking like the back of a bus. The key is not to place undue emphasis on it. Do it, and everything else in your life, to the best of your ability in honour of God and Our Lady. Offer every last effort to God and Our Lady every single day and you wont go wrong. You can even consecrate your efforts for a cause. I consecrate my body, my senses, my thoughts, my works and all my actions every morning to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and then at night, at the end of my prayers, I say to Our Lady āMay every breath I take this night be a prayer to you, my Mother, may every heartbeat be a rose placed on your feet and may every dream be a kiss of love to you my Queen. Take them dearest Mother, and use them as you wish, may they be for the benefit of thy honour, or those souls, living or dead, who need them. Only grant me one thing, that when I wake that my first thought is of thee.ā
Prayer is not only that getting down on your knees, its every last thing we do. Pray unceasingly!

In my experience, guys say they prefer a fresh-scrubbed look, but date girls with makeup.

Or what they THINK is fresh scrubbed. What is known as āno make up make upā. Flawless skin, concealer, soft coutour, soft blush, groomed and darkened brows, long lashes, neutral shadow with a smudge of smoke, rosish/mauveish lip.
