There’s nothing sexier than a naked female. A naked female face, that is.
Want proof? Researchers at Bangor University in the United Kingdom photographed women before and after they applied makeup. Study participants who evaluated the photos thought the women were most attractive with a natural look.

A Fresh face screams confidence
If she proudly sports a bare face, it’s one sign that she’s comfortable with herself. And research shows that confidence can actually make a woman seem sexier, says Craig Malkin, Ph.D., an instructor of psychology at Harvard Medical School.
It's intimate
Only a few lucky people get to see her without any primping. When she doesn’t feel the need to throw on makeup, it shows that she’s comfortable with you, says Clint Carter, the Women’s Health Guy Next Door.
She seems down to Earth
People perceive bare faces to be more likable and trustworthy—whether that’s true or not, says Alex Jones, Ph.D., a psychology researcher at Gettysburg College. It’s probably because people associate spending a lot of time on appearance with narcissism, he says.
It's a preview of the morning after
“[I love it when a woman doesn’t wear makeup] because it’s what she’ll look like when you wake up in the morning and all she's wearing is that smile. That's beautiful,” says Inked Inque, a Men’s Health Facebook fan.
you can see her natural beauty
Men are hardwired to lust after signs that a woman is healthy—like smooth, blemish-free skin with a rosy glow, Jones says. If she goes with the no-makeup look, you can’t help but admire her.
She's probably not afraid to get dirty
A bare face implies she might be more likely to enjoy outdoor adventures like camping, Carter says. And that’s hot.

She seems approachable
Men are naturally attracted to women they feel like they could approach, Malkin says. A woman who’s totally put together—heavy makeup included—can seem out of reach, he says. But a low-maintenance gal looks like someone you could talk to—without getting shut down.
Her personality shines
College student Annie Garau conducted an experiment in which she shunned makeup for a year. She found that it actually helped her become more charming: “I have had to learn to rely on my personality for confidence,” she told Women’s Health. “I love the fact that I can walk into a room of strangers now and be thinking only of how I act and not how I look.”
Less is more
Less is more
“My wife is never sexier than when she steps out of the shower. No makeup, no perfume, hair undone; she’s raw, natural, undisturbed... She's perfect,” says Robert Kalert, a Men’s Health Facebook fan.
She seems innocent
True or not, people associate heavy makeup with sexual availability, and a lack thereof with innocence, says Robert Burriss, Ph.D., a psychology researcher at Northumbria University in the UK. Men evolved to value sexual inexperience and faithfulness in long-term partners, Burriss says, so you may unconsciously interpret a natural look as a clue that she would make a good mate.
It's primal and it's sexy
It's primal and it's sexy
Now don't get me wrong, I also like it when [women] wear makeup, but there's just something about that bare, natural look that drives me insane. My wife looks amazing with no makeup on and I tell her that all the time. I guess there's just something primal about a girl with no makeup,” says Michael Corona, a Men’s Health Facebook fan.
