This makes me so angry so watch out guys: here's a rant
Girls wear makeup for themselves
They aren't trying to deceive you
And if you are all so scandalized by this "false advertising" perhaps I can present it using an analogy
Say there's a product (let's say some super absorbent towel like in those infomercials) and they have all these advertisements about it, saying how super absorbent and easy to use it is.
Now say this advertisement immediately wins you over (which can happen) and you go out and buy this towel. And it is crap. It doesn't absorb anything or do anything the advertisement said it would do. Now just because the advertisement made you attracted to the product doesn't mean that once you find out it is a bad product you're going to be stuck with it forever. Maybe you can't return it but you can throw it out and in the end the only reason you bought this towel was because you were swayed by the "false advertisement" without doing any research on the product.

So the fact that they're getting angry about having "false advertising" because they put on makeup? When you see commercials for a product do you ever just trust that commercial and go buy the product? Probably not. And do you think that the only way men can judge how they feel towards a woman is by their looks?
All in all, this just makes me so angry because these men are so ignorant of the fact that when women put on makeup and "are deceiving them because oh no they look like two different people and that's so wrong" they aren't doing it for you. You are not affected by this and so therefore you have no right to be saying these things about women.
If you so threatened by the fact that makeup can change someone's appearance so much then maybe try thinking about the fact that people can look past appearances. Makeup is not used for when girls want to meet guys who just want sex or to even just attract men. It's none of your concern.
