25+ women don't EVER want to be seen without makeup outside.
And I've seen and approached attractive 30+ women. They have *even more* makeup on.
Life for a 25+ year old woman is an *ARMS RACE* between beauty/makeup/anti-aging products and the effects of sun and aging.

Sweet! As I type this, I'm sitting on my balcony wearing sweat pants and no makeup at all. There are two men in the living room, both of whom have recently tried to get into my pants (unsuccessfully so, I should add). I'm also 35.
Cool story, bro.
38 now, hates makeup. Doesn't own any, sees no need for it & can't be bothered with it. Avoids the sun, slaps on SPF 50 when in it for any extended period. Looks at least 10 years younger, & has been told this by more than one person, that were not parents or Mr. Crimson Ghost.
Try again, chicken.
41 Here. I wear make-up when I'm going out on dates or attending some kinds of public events. Try to keep it subtle for the most part. I don't wear any otherwise.
Perhaps women who are all dressed up, and thus somewhat more attention-grabbing, are more likely to be wearing make-up than those who aren't? I mean, I usually dress very "plain casual" when I'm not going all-in on my appearance.
49 years old, never wore makeup a day in my life. Neither my older sister or my mother wears it, and my little sister only wears it to go clubbing, and not always even then. But what does an incel know about actual women?
When I was a teen, I had bad acne that made me feel very insecure. I would apply benzoyl peroxide and oily-skin moisturizer, then put on CoverBlend foundation and concealer (highly recommend both, BTW heavy yet really natural-looking). This dramatically improved how I looked, so I didn't feel so insecure. When the acne started getting under control in my early-mid twenties, I switched to BP + tinted moisturizer + CB concealer where needed. I eventually dropped the concealer and tinted moisturizer in my mid-20s after my acne had finally completely cleared up and the scars fully healed. Now I just use moisturizer and benzoyl peroxide.
...so I started looking better and stopped wearing makeup as I got older . I'm also a guy. Fail.
Nope. 26, only wear makeup when I dress up for things I'm obligated to dress up for, and most people think I'm 21 at most. I still get carded, in fact.
Funny thing is... makeup makes me look older, not younger. So much for your argument.
Ok, I'll be the odd one out and admit I like makeup and makeup art as a hobby. I'm definitely one to sit in my house and try different things as they become trendy. It's good practice for cosplay.
But still, I often go outside with nothing on and for work/ formal events it stays on the light side. The only time it gets super elaborate is for cosplay. And I'm 28.
Confused?
