Can anyone tell me while there is so much excessive make-up in porn? You see these very beautiful, young women and they are covered in garish make-up. I find the long, false eyelashes especially confusing. Obviously, I prefer a natural look, but I wondering if I'm in the minority or if this is some effort to preserve the actors anonymity? Is the excessive make-up used to shield the actors identity when they go out into the real word? Anyone have an opinion or some insider knowledge?

My opinion:
Some viewers want porn to depict sex and sexuality in a larger-than-life over-the-top fantastical manner, in a way that is much more decadent than real life. So... slutty outfits, hooker/fetish ultra-high heels, filthy unladylike language, supersized bodyparts, "monster" cocks, nymphomaniacal behaviors, long fake eyelashes, tarty makeup, etc. all help to deliver that desired effect. Against such a background, a natural look is too similar to everyday ordinary real life.

Porn girls can never wear too much make-up. For me, anyway. Don't know what it is about blue eye shadow but it makes my dick hard.

I don't think the heavily made-up porn star look is as pervasive as people make out, especially now. There seems to be a trend in natural women at the moment.

I would be one of the people who like the women, men, clothing, and situations and sex "larger than life". I can understand the appeal of wanting more "ordinary" or "natural" looking women but for me, I see women like that all the time and want the porn I watch to have women with looks that I wouldn't normally see. I prefer the hyper-sexualization in porn because it sets it apart from real life.
The "PORNSTARS WITHOoT MAKE-UP" photos that came out not too long ago was very interesting to see. While some people were saying some girls looked better without the make-up, I wasn't one of them. That's not to say the girls were ugly without the make-up but to me many of the girls without the make-up were just ordinary but with the make-up they became a fantasy.
Plus...the make-up in porn isn't really that far removed from what we see from lots of Hollywood celebs.
