    Light makeup makes her look as confident as I wish she could be at baseline. She has a lot to be confident about but has horrendous self-confidence(relatively speaking). We’re all a work in progress though.

    Heavy makeup(indian weddings…) and I feel like I don’t recognize her and she hates it too so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    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.

    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 greatly prefer no makeup. At least no foundation. A little eye makeup can be nice.

    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.

      My partner recently shared a video/clip about the differences between the way girls do makeup to attract guys vs the way girls do makeup to attract girls. What your comment reads like to me is that she put on the light makeup because she figured you would like that, but now, she’s figured that there’s no need to attract you with her makeup anymore

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

    I’m ambivalent. Makeup is fine, but I wouldn’t say she’s prettier with it. Doesn’t help that currently she’s following some TikTok makeup people and they have her doing a ton of layers and gluing on eyelashes and stuff. I don’t care for it at all, but it makes her happy so I haven’t mentioned it.

    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-[…]
