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

    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 😂

    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 know it’s kind of lame, but I like it when she likes it. She wears relatively light makeup, maybe some eye shadow and lash stuff. It accentuates the things she likes about herself, but she’s also totally comfortable wearing none. So basically, I like when she wears makeup and when she doesn’t, because she’s not doing it because she feels compelled, she’s doing it because she feels like it, and I like how she looks when she looks how she wants to look.

      Setting of a the positive feedback loop of love:

      1. You’re happy because she’s happy
      2. She’s happy because you’re happy

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

    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.

    They always look good. Normal day levels of makeup looks great. Special event extra fine makeup looks great. Morning face with no makeup looks great. I just like their face.

    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 honestly can’t remember how she looks with makeup on. She has worn it maybe a dozen times in the decade plus that I’ve known her.

    She looks fine without it. She seems happy without it. I don’t really care either way.
