One night my ex decided to wear make up even though she never did. It wasn’t badly done but it felt odd, it just wasn’t her
But honestly I don’t care much, except for fake lashes, I don’t find that attractive in the slightest
Of course not. I’m in love with a whole person, not her appearance. I love her fierce intellect, her passion for justice, her wanderer’s spirit. I love that we can sit together and watch anything only for it to lead to a new and endlessly fascinating discussion.
Makeup doesn’t affect any of that.
I like how makeup highlights her favorite features or hides when she feels tired or insecure. I like that it helps her feel more fully herself. I think it’s great that makeup can do that for her.
She will always be attractive to me for who she is. How she looked may have helped me first talk to her, but who she is has kept us talking for 16 years.
yup, and I’m real up front about it as early as possible.
I’ve always had an aversion to people wearing makeup. I’m not sure where it came from, and I know I came across Rocky horror picture show young and i already really didn’t like makeup, but I’ve never gotten seriously involved with anyone who uses makeup with any regularity, especially lipstick.
I’m a sucker for cat eye and lashes on my wife.
Purely aesthetically I like light makeup. She doesn’t look best in light makeup though. We like hiking and most of our vacations are to various trails. She is at her most attractive after a difficult climb. She is a very strong climber and during the climb she has an amazing confidence. Right after she gets to the top and sees the view she gets this look of accomplishment and joy and it’s absolutely breathtaking. So she looks best sweaty, dirty, exhausted, and happy.
Man, that’s the kind of relationship I dream about… Though swap the climb for a hike because I’m deathly afraid of heights 😂
I can’t imagine him in makeup, but he was having midlife rosacea and getting cosmetic treatment, not just the dermatologist but the MedSpa stuff, really good skin makes a big difference.
On me we agree, a light tinted sunscreen and some mascara or very subtle top eyeliner is best looking - the sort of makeup guys think is no makeup, basically. Before COVID I would have said more eyeliner, mascara, eyebrows filled, and lip gloss but happy for the change, people do wear less everyday makeup now.
I also have rosacea, is the MedSpa stuff helping? Is it very expensive?
He got IPL, it is $300 a round but can pay from the HSA or FSA if it is for rosacea and your dermatologist may be able to get it covered by your insurance. Yes he found one treatment with the IPL did more than all the stuff he did with the dermatologist for two years now. They have other treatments if you still are having bad breakouts, he had the acne part tackled with tretinoin - the IPL significantly reduced redness and helped a lot with texture. It’s not one and done but couple times a year, maybe eventually once a year, not bad.
Yes, but shes gorgeous without it as well. She wears little make up, except for some stuff around the eyes. I really like her eyes, and the makeup does make them even prettier.
Yes, but only because makeup is one of her passions that she can get really nerdy about. Something about her trying new, colorful looks and excitedly showing me makes me find her more attractive. I used to be a guy who didn’t like makeup.
Personally, I don’t like noticeable make-up. If it’s barely visible, it’s fine as well but in general I like ‘no make up’ the best.
It’s also not only about looks:
- If you wear make-up, you have to be careful with rain, touching the face, kissing etc.
- It may take a lot of time to apply.
- It’s expensive.
- It’s rather bad than good for your skin.
- It’s bad for the environment (more trash, animal testing, contimination of water etc.).
No make-up = Win-Win-Win-[…]
Eye makeup is a killer
That’s sort of the point of the stuff. If you use it right, it works.
I’m happy either way. I think the key is that it has to be done with enough subtly that you don’t realize it’s there.
No, I greatly prefer no makeup. At least no foundation. A little eye makeup can be nice.
Don’t know. Never seen him in makeup. But I suspect not. I don’t even like it when he shaved his beard.
There’s something about a scruffy dude with some guy liner, you should get him to try it once, thank me later.
Yeah that JD Vance look. Smoke show!
Recent discussions tell me I better put the old /s in here…
Sofa king hot.
Though, to be fair, have you seen a picture of Vance without the eye liner and facial hair… the look does a lot to help him. He just takes it a little too far. It’s not magic. It can only help so much before it starts to look desperate.
Last woman I dated looked the best with light makeup. Just enough to highlight her eyes, I really liked them.
Although I liked the best when she had no makeup, an unruly bed hair, wearing nothing but her panties and my shirt. (She did it fairly often.) There was some obvious sexual appeal on that, but it was more about the intimacy, in a way that you don’t typically get when the woman is wearing makeup.
No. I can’t stand women wearing makeup. I like reality.
Big nope to that. I prefer natural looks.
