Here's an Interesting Study
regarding whether make-up enhances or mutes female beauty. I'm not so sure about the methodology of the first part of the study.

Makeup in my own case doesn't seem to have much effect on whether men find me attractive. I wear it because I don't like seeing my face in the mirror of the Nordstrom ladies' room unless I've done something about those ever-present circles under my eyes. And once I've gone that far, I usually throw some lipstick on; it's a privilege of middle age.
Makeup, like decent clothing, is for us alone. Jane Austen got the principle right.

"The use of make-up may compensate for or mask cues indicating low hormone levels"...would imply that it helps for those with low visual cue levels, and harms those with high levels.
In my Dogbert incarnation, I'd point out an obvious product opportunity; a kit to decide if makeup will help or hinder a particular woman.
I'm suspicious of the fairly small sample size, though.

"They used a computer to morph faces into composite photographs of women with high fertility and others of those with low..."
What the Hell does this mean?
Subjects were looking at "composite faces" of two separate women? Why didn't they just use the natural photographs of the same women at different hormone levels?

Makeup has another important factor - does it make your face taste funny? I don't mind the look of makeup, but if I give you a peck on the cheek or a long tongue-lashing to the neck, and I taste Revlon rather than attilla, the makeup has to go.
