Is there a dating site for women who don't wear makeup?

Most dating apps are built around photos, and many people feel pressure to look polished in every picture. If you do not wear makeup, or wear very little, it is reasonable to want a place where that is seen as a positive, not something to explain.

How does Souldaters support natural-beauty dating?

• A makeup field on every profile. Members can say whether they wear makeup, and how much.
• A no-makeup tribe. It has a public page and discussion board, and joining it raises compatibility with others who share it.
• A free dealbreaker filter. "No-makeup or minimal-makeup" is a hard filter anyone can use.
• Mutual match before messaging. Nobody can message you unless you liked them too, which keeps comments about your appearance from strangers out of your inbox.

Who is this for?

It is for women who simply prefer their natural face, for those with sensitive skin or who are cutting down on products, for people who value low-maintenance routines, and for anyone who wants to be seen as they are on a Tuesday morning. It is also for people of any gender who are attracted to natural beauty and want to say so respectfully. Many members in the no-makeup tribe are also in health-oriented or minimalists.

Tips for your profile

• Use recent, natural-light photos. Outdoor light is flattering and honest.
• Mention it with warmth: "Sunscreen, lip balm, done. I'd rather spend the time on a long walk."
• Pick a prompt that shows your personality; natural photos plus a specific prompt is a strong combination.

Are there alternatives?

General apps like Hinge or Bumble let you write about it in your bio or prompts, but they do not have a makeup field or filter. Souldaters is currently unusual in offering both, and it is free. For more on the topic, read our guide to dating without makeup, or create a free profile.
