the weather here in Chicago has been retarded and on the weekdays when I have nothing to do (just graduated school and no job! lol) I feel ZERO motivation to wear make-up like seriously ZERO! I also hate doing my hair now because im letting it grow out for the wedding and it is seriously getting on my nerves!
Anyway yesterday my my hunny decided to pick me up at 9 in the freakin morning and only gave me 15min to get ready...so as we were driving I told him half joking half serious that I was sorry I looked crappy and wasnt wearing any makeup. Then he goes to tell me about survey he heard on the radiod about how many girfriends/wives let their man see them without makeup and he said the answer was only 12%!!! I seriously doubt that but I dont know..am I the minority here? I am pretty sure most girlfriends wouldnt let thei man see them w/o makeup I was like that the first few years we were dating but now if I dont feel like wearing make up then I wont wear make up :)
He had to have heard that wrong of it was a poll of teenage girls LOL
I highly doubt 88% of woman go to bed with their makeup on.
Wow, that is insane! Well I am certainly in said 12%.
All the time. Especially in the summer, because I hardly ever wear makeup then!
I never wear makeup around the house. I don't really even wear that much makeup when I go out.
I very rarely wear any make up so I voted all the time. Foundation on me creeps him out, I was worried because for the wedding I wanted to even out skin for pictures but luckily my sister did an amazing job with bare minerals at keeping it natural looking. People have tried before but that's the only stuff I've been able to use that doesn't make my skin feel like it's going to itch off and doesn't give him the heeby jeebies.
Ha, yes. I wear very sheer makeup to begin with, and if I wouldn't wash it off, I'd have a face full of acne! So I would say that 50% of the time he is around me, I'm w/o makeup!
Of course I let him see me without makeup. We've been living together for 4 years now.
I'd be really surprised if anyone on a wedding board still didn't let their SO see them without makeup.
And I agree with Roxy. He must have heard wrong, or whoever he heard on the radio must have been wrong. I can't believe that 88% of women don't let their husbands see them bare-faced.
Wow.. I mean although I probably wear make-up EVERY DAY.. I do wash my face in the shower, or to go to sleep and dont always apply my make-up right after waking up. So my husband does see me without make-up a lot. I have heard about ladies that do not let their husbands see them without makeuo though. Also, when we were dating and not living together .. the first few times we stayed the night together somewhere I will admit I washed my face, eye make-up and just reapplied a little bit of powder
That's insane...I can't imagine not letting my FI see me without makeup. He likes me better that way (which I find strange, lol).
"If he cant handle me at my worst then why the hell would I let him handle me on my best"
ok I changed it a lot but Marilyn Monroe knew what she was talking about ;)
that survey seems really wrong. How can you avoid that? What about when you wake up, go to bed, go swimming, are sick, work out, shower, clean, etc etc? My FH saw me without makeup probably within a week of dating. He always tells me that he thinks i'm the prettiest when I'm not wearing any makeup and especially right when i wake up.
i cant believe that statistic... i'm a daily make-up wearer, but that's usually at work, as soon as i get home, i wash my face workout get dinner goin shower and wash my face before bed... that's ridiculous that ppl would try to hide behind makeup in a relationship...
I'm willing to bet that statistic was made up (har har).
My guy would rather that I NOT wear makeup, and I'm happy to oblige. I only wear it to dress up anyhow.
I did know a woman once who hopped out of bed every morning before her husband woke up to put on her makeup and brush her teeth, and then hopped back into bed with him so he would wake up to a freshly "made up" wife. Insane.
Umm, if my husband minded seeing me without make-up, I wouldn't have married him. That statistic is BS to the max.
My husband sees me all the time without make up. He said the sexiest I look is right before bed, when I am washing my face and I have my hair tied back. He's a weirdo... but oh well. 
My fiance has only seen me wear makeup at two weddings that I was in and at one that we went to as guests. I only wear it when I have to dress up/look really nice for something. I'll wear it for engagement and bridal pictures so I don't look really pale and I'll wear it at the wedding, since that's a pretty important day, lol.
I'm with a bunch of the other ladies; I don't wear make-up on a regular basis. I only wear make-up when I'm going out/special occasions or know my picture will be taken. I'm too lazy, and most make-up gives me horrible break-outs.
I really have a hard time believing most women let their SERIOUS significant others only see them with makeup on. I mean, really, how feasible is that? The first thing I do when I come home is pretty much wash my face!
Maybe it was only 12% that "never" let their SO see them without makeup. Which i believe--IF you're in a new relationship. And, you know, you're really self conscious? I guess if I had really bad skin I'd be less inclined to let him see me without makeup on if we were a newer couple.
But heck..we're married...he gets to see it all. And i do wear makeup every day to work, though. He's told me that while he thinks i'm beautiful either way (aww) he'd think i was sloppy if i didn't wear makeup out to dinners, events, work, etc, and he does admit I look prettier WITH makeup on. Eh, I think I look better with mascara on, my eyes contoured, and my face evened out and everything, too! So it's all good.
He sees me all the time without makeup and with my hair not done. We live together so it's pretty much unavoidable. We are pretty much like an old married couple by now anyway.
It's a rare occasion for me to wear makeup at all..FI actually asks me sometimes why I don't. I just don't know how to wear it without looking like a clown, and I'm lazy, so I can't be bothered.
I rarely ever wear make-up at all. Before the wedding, I think he saw me in make-up a total of maybe one or two times, and those were mandatory for plays or special occasions.
I do know a girl who will not let anyone see her without her make-up on, and I think its crazy! People see me all the time without make-up, and I really don't care :)
I'm the odd ball who answered "every once in a while" because basically I do wear make-up all the time. But I don't wear much. Basically I feel weird without mascara on. We live together so he obviously sees me after I shower and before bed without makeup; but I usually @ least have mascara on everywhere I go.... I don't know; I guess it's kind of like deoderant. I just put it on no matter what! lol
@Demo, I probably shoulda clicked "every once in awhile" because by the time I get home, we're talking 1-2 hours of no-makeup time before i go to bed, haha. And I, too, wear mascara everywhere...also I fill in my brows with a pencil because they look STUPID otherwise. And naturally if i'm doing the brows i do mascara =P
I don't wear make-up so FH see's me all the time without it (I bet I've only worn it like 5 times infront of him).
He actually hates when I wear make-up and makes comments that I look 'weird'. I told him I'll be wearing it on our wedding day so he better not say I look strange!
I would like to edit my poll response to "has your man seen you WITH makeup". I'm more on that side I think. Makeup is probably a once a month occurance for me at most.
I wear makeup daily. Don't like my face as much without it-but he sees me mornings/evenings without and he says he loves me without makeup. But I like my face better with, so makeup it is! :) But I can't understand a woman NOT letting her guy see her without makeup. That's a little much I think... And I can't believe those stats. I bet it's the opposite. 12% don't let their guys see them sans makeup.
i am super surprised by the survey! for the first few years i definitely tried to keep it together at all times (ie up at 3am reapply mascara when i stayed at his place), but now we live together and he far more often sees me without makeup than with it! i suppose i should put in more effort, but he doesn't shave on the weekends and i think we enjoy that we can be so comfortable around each other.
HAHAHA thats ridiuculous!! That has to bee for teenagers or something. I wear makeup when we go out somewhere....or it has been a good day with the kids and I have time to do my makeup! He actually prefers me with no makeup :D
Ha! All the time. We live together and I definitely wash my face before bed and lounge around makeup-less on the weekends.
The only time I ever left the makeup on was when I was casually dating and had bad skin. If it was clear, I would have been more comfortable bare-faced.
Sure I don't go out in public without doing my hair or makeup but that surely doesn't mean my FI has never seen me dolled up. That is plain ridiculous! This reminds me of RHOA - Kim who never takes her makeup or wig off for Big Papa. Give me a break!
Well considering we live together I don't really have a choice :P
I am one of those people who will not leave the house without makeup but every night I have to take mine off and go to bed with him.
I don't like myself without makeup though and I would probably have to be pretty serious with them for them to see me without it.
Oh yeah! When we were dating, I never worked out with makeup on, it was a roll out of bed, brush the teeth, and meet him outside the dorm to go. I made SURE that he saw me without makeup on, because I wanted to make sure he knew what he was getting! But, since I don't wear that much on a regular basis, he can't even tell when I have it on... or so he says. :) Sweetie hubby. :)
The only makeup I really ever wore was mascara, but after noticing my first few wrinkles about a yr and a half ago I decided to cut out anything that involves any excess rubbing of my eye-area. When FI proposed I wasn't wearing a drop of makeup (nor had I showered that day...), and he didn't care at all. I currently put mascara on if we're going someone special on the weekends, otherwise I'm au naturale 24/7.
I rarely ever wear makeup...I am lazy in the morning! He actually now asks me what the special occasion is if I do wear makeup! He is the kind of guy that likes the natural look anyway so he prefers it. Every guy is different though some like the opposite
I do not wear makeup unless there is a specific reason to put it on.
i have a friend who doesn't leave the house WITHOUT any make up on. seriously - every single day she HAS to wear it. (my MOH...) and then there's me - i wear it occasionally - when we go out or whatnot - but i don't wear any makeup on a daily basis - and am allergic to most anyways...so of course i hope I don't break out from the wedding - specially when i'm paying $150 to have it done! :p
The boy does not even notice a difference when I have makeup on. So lately, I've been without makeup especially with my allergies and eczema
