When he says..'you don't need make up..'

[mildcause]

Following on from another thread , it got
Me thinking.
My partner is f two years has often said this to me when we're leaving the house.
He will tell me I look well now and again if we're going out to an event but more often than not , he says to make sure I'm comfortable. He isn't effusive with compliments but shows love all the time.

We enjoy a loving relationship and there is plenty of physical attraction and chemistry .
Thoughts on this? He his all about comfort himself and dresses for that but still looks well and presents well.

All I would say is if you want to wear it then do. If you don't that's fine. As long as it's your choice and he doesn't sulk if you do decide to wear it.

He could be making a genuine compliment and doesn't think you need any make up.

I don't think men always understand why we do wear it, it's not always because we need it, there are so many different reasons, just say thank you but I like to wear it because....
don't let his comments control you in anyway, could he be a bit insecure that you're trying to look attractive to other men or perhaps he's worried you're insecure about your looks, when it could simply be because you enjoy wearing it for example, they really have no clue so just tell him.

Some people just prefer a make-up less face, and it could be his way of getting you to look like he prefers.

I had a friend whose husband used to say this, it became more controlling, and by the time she left him she wasn't 'allowed' to wear make up or nice clothes or high heels or to talk to men she wasn't related to.

It could be a passive-aggressive way of getting you to hurry up getting ready!

It could be he genuinely doesn't notice the difference between you with make up and without.

It doesn't have to be a sinister reason, but ultimately, it's entirely up to
you, and not up to him whether or not you wear make up. Of course as your OH he should still fancy you without make up - it would be odd if he didn't. But he needs to understand that you might want to wear it, and you don't just wear it for him.

Sounds like he doesn’t like make up, but that’s neither here nor there if you want to wear it.

‘Nobody needs make up. But I like it’

He doesn’t think makeup improves your appearance and or he thinks the time spent putting it on is a waste.
