This is probably a silly thing to talk about, but was just watching Nicola Sturgeon on the BBC news and she's wearing lipstick and eye makeup and whatever else women put on. Unless a woman is trying to attract a man or a woman, what is the point? i'm sure she'd look fine with no makeup.

Let me let you in on a little secret: a lot of the men on TV are wearing makeup too.
Wearing makeup is not just to attract men [or women], at its root it's about confidence-improvement. It's to make you look better and to feel stronger about yourself, to enhance certain features, to conceal imperfections or to promote a certain image.
Yeah, not quite the same. Studio makeup is one thing, but there's no eyelashes, mascara and lipstick on most men. Good try though.

That’s literally what make up is for....
Exactly.
The things you’ve listed could be surmised with one word. Attractive.
I'd say it's mostly for confidence, women in the workplace even in relationships still wear makeup.
wait, what, she looks like Borris Johnson when she has got slap on ?
You can say what you want but it all comes back to the fact makeup only exists to do one thing - improve how attractive one appears.
Point to where I said that wasn't the case?
Appearing attractive doesn't always equal just trying to find a mate.
And why does that automatically infer searching for a mate is involved?
