There is no such thing as 100% natural. Unless you're perfect (Which I doubt in this generation) or god, sure. But otherwise, you're just a normal pleb like everyone else.

Anime girls are naturally perfect unless we are talking about Aku no Hana where they are ugly (the manga doesn't have the ugliness though). Some still do wear makeup though.

Rarely will an Anime character wear makeup. But it's obvious WHEN they're wearing it, because it is distinct.

Anime girls are made out of sugar, spice, and everything nice. There is nothing natural about them.

I don't think you can notice any makeup in manga. :P

That might be problematic unless it's more irregular because of lack of color.

Wouldn't that make them black and white if no colors were to be applied?

There's stuff where they wear make up. You need to watch some idol stuff, magical girl/idol and read shoujo manga, where there might be make-up scenes or product placement.

In anime they mostly don't wear make-up (unless during an event like say a prom or a ball), either that or they wear a lot of make-up almost all the time (like gothic)

^ Manhwa and sometimes Manhua have color. So no lack of makeup there. Regular manga do since they're black and white.

Even manga has color sometimes.

Anime girls are quite idealized or we could say they are made up with the intention of them being as they are imagined to be, I doubt that wearing make up is included when it comes to making them up since, it all starts with a sketch usually done in pencil and so unless the personality you are aiming for requires it, you are not going to bother with make up.
Besides, when they wear make up in the anime it is noticeable on purpose, therefore they never used make up before. So I conclude, they never wear make up since it would just be bothersome.

some wear (there's probably some anime where they show the girls putting make up) and some don't
but more importantly, does it matter?
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

When girls wear make-up the animators usually try to show it. Since most anime girls are school girls or generally young women they don't really need much make-up anyway.

Yeah I have no idea why they made the anime so ugly looking. The manga was fine. But the anime animation was horrendous.

They don't show it so obviously not.

They also don't show characters shitting so they never do that either.

If it didn't happen explicitly on screen it never happened.

When I play peek-a-boo they literally disappear.

If she is in a shoujo and she is the main character, she is completely natural.

Well, truthfully, if you never see them doing certain actions, they really aren't doing them.

Because you know, fiction, canon, crap like that.

Not to ruin your smartass rumble but they do show anime girls wear make-up plenty of times.
