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
Not better, but more familiar.
Nope.
Nope nopedi nope.
Yea. But I still think she is pretty without it too.
make-up has its effect on a subconscious level
How does it work?
Subconsiously.
Big nope to that. I prefer natural looks.
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…
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.
Sofa king hot.
“Would like to… recline on my sofa…?”
Some say he’s the pull-out king
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.
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.
Makes no difference really
Not better or worse, just different. But those kind of things are really more for her than me anyway. She’s most attractive when she feels good about herself.
For me, it’s primarily the confidence boost that’s attractive.
She’s very good with makeup, and doesn’t overuse it. Who am I to say if she wants a little more jaw angle, or eyelash definition.
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 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.
