Wearing makeup for the wrong reasons

I think you are making the right choice.

I enhance my looks when I am with him the way he likes it because thats all that matters. Not to mention my skin has gotten so much better and I care less about what other people think about me or my looks.

I've had the same experience! I realized it's pretty illogical to coat your face in foundation when you can invest in good skincare products and practices instead. I have a morning and nightly skincare ritual now and my skin looks better bare than it does with foundation! My boyfriend and even friends have noticed that I'm look better, and now if I do wear makeup it stands out more.

he's always liked a more natural look and still thinks i'm beautiful with no makeup. I took this as an excuse to not look 'good' and make an effort around him.

I fell into this trap too!

Yep. All I do is get my brows groomed, eyelash extensions (natural looking ones, not those huge ones that look like spiders) and tinted balm. Sometimes I use a bit of a coverstick under the eyes but that's it. So much better. My partner also hates heaps of makeup and so do I.

I agree with you completely.

Very true! This doesn't only apply to makeup but to clothes and hair and everything too.

I never really thought about this but now that you bring it up I can see I haven't been making an effort at home when I see him all the time but will try to look better when facing society. Fortunately, my SO likes seeing me in my Pj's and hair balled up on top of my head so I'm lucky :p but there is some room for improvement (shaving everyday and putting lotsa cream, notching it up a bit with pristine higiene, toe nails done even when in the winter).

Thank you for posting this and pointing it out for all of us 💞

I understand how you feel. There are times when I would wear attractive clothes because many people like it but I have learned to focus on what my SO likes. He likes natural women so I don't wear as much makeup anymore. I like wearing feminine stuff still because it makes me feel good.

There are times when my hair was messy and I wore sweatpants. I think he doesn't care but I like when he compliments me. He likes feminine women who's career minded

If you feel like not making a lot of effort at home, it's very easy to wear just mascara and lipstick. And instead of say sweats just something comfortable but more form fitting. So easy for men who like natural beauty.

My husband prefers when I don't wear make up and dress casually at home because he feels like he gets to see a more intimate and relaxed side of me other people don't see.

Of course, that doesn't mean I look like a slob at home and I do take excellent care of my skin. As other comments have said, if women invested half the time and money they invest in makeup products into skin care, make up wouldn't be nearly as necessary.

I actually had an argument with my ex about this topic one time. She was very...particular, I guess is the word about the image she wanted to convey. Much to my chagrin this meant always behaving when we were in public, even though she was dressed gorgeously and had her makeup/hair on point, but the second we got to my apartment, make up off, clothes off, she puts on my pj pants and that's all she wrote. A tad frustrating being with her when she's dressed to the nines but not being able to appreciate her fully when we're in private.

No rational dude will expect his girl to always be made up and whatnot when their alone. There will always be something attractive about the lazy, comfy pants and headband look for lazy Sundays. But if you're going to get yourself all dolled up for work/school/party/etc. at least give your guy some time to enjoy all your efforts personally before you go and wash your face before bed and all that jazz.
