    Don’t know. Never seen him in makeup. But I suspect not. I don’t even like it when he shaves his beard.

    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.

    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-[…]

    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.

        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.

    Not at all. But then I, thankfully, live in a country where makeup use isn’t as normalized as in many other countries like the US and more eastern European countries.

    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.

    I’ve only seen her with makeup once because she did a photoshoot, she was pretty but just differently.

    On the day to day she may put on some lip balm and I prefer her look without.

    When we started dating she had a light-“natural” style of makeup I liked. Ten years later I’m not entirely sure what happened but when she puts on makeup now it’s much more extreme and not really attractive to me. It makes her feel pretty which is what matters I guess.

    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
