On TikTok, People Are Going On First Dates Without A Drop Of Makeup
Briefly

A new TikTok trend encourages people to go on first dates without makeup, reversing the typical expectation of looking glamorous. Creators like @karatheworstt express excitement and fear about this approach, with many commenters advocating for a relaxed, natural look. The trend suggests that going bare-faced can help individuals feel more confident, leading to a more authentic connection. It emphasizes comfort over societal beauty standards, making the dating experience more genuine and enjoyable for those who prefer minimal preparation.
First of all, I just don't want to. Second, I don't have to take sh*t off my face [afterward]. And third, if I decide I like them, then on the next date I'll wear makeup and they'll be so impressed.
This process usually works in reverse - you're more likely to show up to a first date in full glam, then wear less as you get comfortable with a new partner - but this trend is all about flipping the script.
