Does your DH/DP have thoughts about you wearing makeup?

[turnarounddot]

Dh said to me today that he prefers it when I don’t wear makeup. The context was we had an app this morning and I said in the car I looked like a zombie because I didn’t have time to put makeup on. DH said he actually prefers how I look without it. I do have decent skin except slight redness around my nose but I like wearing mascara and blush and lipstick too. He didn’t say anything like don’t wear it or anything but I just wondered if anyone else’s partner tells them if they prefer them with or without it?

My husband wouldn't presume to comment on what I wear.

He tells me I look nice when I'm dressed up to go out and he'll also tell me I am beautiful when I'm wandering around the kitchen in unwashed PJs.

I don't believe that "most men" prefer make-up free, I think they THINK they prefer make-up free because they don't realise women are wearing make-up unless it's really obvious. They like the "natural look" but not actually natural.

It's not something I think about most days because I don't give a monkeys what they prefer- I wear what I prefer.

My DH prefers me with no make up. I never wear it anyway, so……….. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t wear much but look worse and older with none, so I assume my husband prefers me with a bit on, just as I prefer him when he has a shave.

I don’t know anyone who actually looks better with a totally bare face, but also think too much can look awful.

My DH says fine either way and it’s up to me but I’m fine without, also says some women break the trades description act with it,

Ew, what a gross thing to say.

I don’t think they’re the same thing really. I would think most men wouldn’t mind giving their personal opinion as to whether they like make up or not, but they wouldn’t go near giving an honest opinion about whether their partner looks fat !!

I always laugh to myself when men express that they generally prefer women to not wear make up… Of course in an ideal world we would all look our best naturally! ie they like the idea of women not needing it and still looking stunning. Of course most people would say that they prefer people to have a lovely natural face rather than being caked in cosmetics!
The reality is that make-up does bring out the best features for most of us. I wish I wasn’t so reliant on it, and I have big respect to those who don’t use it at all.
Unfortunately, we are in a society where it is normalised for females to wear it. Look at the big deal made (and numerous nasty comments online) about Pamela Anderson choosing to have a bare face now.

DH thinks I'm prettiest when I've just woken up in the morning which is very sweet and absolutely incorrect of him. He defintely prefers no make up. That said, he doesn't dislike it. If I do a full beat (for big work events where I'm being filmed, etc) then he always asks me if it doesn't annoy me - so I think for him it's because he hates anything like sunscreen etc on his skin, and he assumes make up is as uncomfortable for me as it would be for him haha.

He rarely says anything positive or negative about my appearance. Thank god for my lovely daughters who often compliment me.

Gross. Women aren't products.

Nope. I wear make up most days, but he doesn’t have a preference. Which is good as I can’t stand men commenting about women needing to wear make up, or looking ‘better’ without it. There’s no need for such comments.

I never got into the habit of wearing it, when I was young and most likely didn't need to wear it then. I slapped on some blush a bit of mascara, liner.
No lippy as mine are on the thin side, and I couldn't be arsed with drawing a fake lip line.
Enter DH and right from the start he said he preferred me without makeup, which suited my busy life.
Been married quite a while, so now when we go out, I'm back to a bit of blush a bit of liner and mascara, and I don't think he notices, as he's always said I look nice 🤷

A lot of men are clueless about make up, unless they see bright colours they think the woman isn’t wearing any, Jennifer Anniston has face full of make up here, your average man would think she isn’t wearing any.

Only once did DH make a comment and that was when he was still DBF and I was 16 in 1968.
Can't remember exactly what was said but had involved the use of red eye liner and mascara courtesy of Biba which I thought was so anarchic and edgy when in fact it made me look as if I had some incurable lurgy.
I did huff and tut a bit but eventually had to agree.
He's never made any negative comments about my appearance which is probably why we've just celebrated our Golden wedding anniversary.

Grim. Another man who sees women as an object or a product.

Mine has never made any comment about disliking makeup on me, however a few times when I've gone without (barest minimum, eyebrows, tinted moisturiser, mascara, hes asked me if im feeling ok. I put that down to being a ravaged old hag though.

I have absolutely no idea how he feels about it since it’s nothing to do with him. I wear makeup for me. Not him, not anyone else.
