Make Up Your Mind, Men

You just can't win
with these men.
If you don't wear makeup,
they consider you unrefined and unattractive
(unless you are of a rare breed
with large, defined eyes,
finely sculpted, dark eyebrows and long, dark eyelashes,
no acne scars,
small, well-behaved pores,
naturally rosy cheeks,
and blemish-free skin
with perfectly toned,
balanced coloring).
And if you do 
wear makeup,
they complain that
they prefer
women who wear
little to no makeup
at all.
