DA
Might be a genre thing? With noir and classic pulp, every title I've read with a female protagonist is gussied up. YA and fantasy seem fond of protagonists without makeup. Mainstream comics seem to favor women with at least lipstick and mascara (glossy lips/long eyelashes) but it's common in independent publishing to find women without.

Its usually writers (both male and female) trying to make their faves seem both "naturally so beautiful they don't need that pesky makeup" and "not vain and superficial like those ither girls".

ayrt

Maybe? Most of what I read with female protagonists are mystery/suspense type things, and it's always the "good", morally pure female main character who never wears makeup, while the "bad"/immoral/disreputable/whatever minor/background characters (sex workers, "sluts" who try to steal the main woman's boyfriend/husband, etc.) are described as wearing "too much" makeup. Idk, it just sometimes comes off a bit NLTOG-y/judgmental to me.
