Play Our Beauty "Would You Rather" Game!

I'll admit, before now, the only time I'd played "would you rather" was in my college dorm room after way too many tequila shots (funny how that happens). But I swear this version is just as much fun even if you're sober -- or if you're not, no judgment here.

The twist: they're all beauty-related questions, most of which I'm pretty sure you've never considered. Well, unless you're part of this group.

Check out a few of my favorite questions below and share your picks in the comments. Click on any of them to see what our group of 80 women (and a few brave men) had to say.


Would you rather: Shave your head or not cut your hair for 5 years?
76% of our readers said they'd rather give up the scissors than go for the bald look! See why here.

Would you rather have no eyebrows or have no eyelashes?
This was almost a tie, with 52% picking no eyebrows. I think I'd have to go with lashes though -- this reader's response totally convinced me.

Would you rather leave the house without makeup or have a bad hair day?
I think this one depends a lot on how good your skin is (check out tips to get zit-free fast here). That or the extent of your hat collection. More than half of our readers picked no makeup -- see why here.

Would you rather not be able to trim your toenails for a year or not be able to wear deodorant for a year?
Plug your nose because 68% of our readers said they'd skip deodorant. That's all well and good for them, but what about us? See why they voted for smelly here.

Would you rather have stick-straight hair or wild and curly hair?
Seems like our readers thought straight hair would be the easier route -- 56% picked that option (see why here). But maybe if they'd read this guide to curly hair they would have changed their minds?

Would you rather live without shampoo or live without soap?
This might come as a shock, but 56% said they'd live without soap! Although their explanations kind of make sense, you can read them here.

Would you rather win a year's worth of manicures or a year's worth of massages?
Oooh, a fun one! Massages won by a landslide with 76% of the vote, although the manicure minority put up a good fight here. I certainly wouldn't turn down either one, sigh …
