Hello Bees,
Ok i was looking in the mirror the other day and i noticed i was breaking out :O, yuk. But no1 but me and my family see my break outs because when i go out i put makeup on and hide the imperfections from my SO and everyone els . Then i thought what if So saw me like this ? He'd so think i look horrible, what about when i live with him ?! What about when i wake up with him face to face and i have no time to touch up, and everything is just there :(!!
I freaked out.
SO. . .
Obviously we ALL have imperfections such as break outs or freckles or dark spots ect, some more than others and we all take care if it one way or another, but what happens when you have to take care of all that infront of SO?
I'm just wondering for the bees who live with their SO, how do you hmm. . . whats the right word, i guess cope ? lol
Does he say anything like" wow i never seen you like this "
DO you ever notice he notices ? lol
**FYi** i dont put on loads of makeup just concealer which i need ! and some cover up on the blemishes , and you all know that all makes a BIG difference!
Love you guys ! <3

I think if a guy ever made a comment like, "wow I've never seen you like this" about my makeup-free face, I'd be seriously annoyed. I've NEVER had a guy make any kind of comment about any of my natural imperfections. Honestly, I think they kind of like them. It's very intimate for them to see your un-made-up self. EVen if I wake up with crust in my eyelashes and drool on my face, DH goes right in for the kiss, every time. Guys don't look perfect all the time, either, btw! :)
Since I've moved in with my FI, I've found I'm wearing makeup at home less and less (not working probably has a bit to do with that). I'm super self-conscious about my skin, but he prefers me without makeup. I still break out all the time at 37, but it doesn't seem to phase him.
I had my makeup airbrushed at a bridal show and I thought it looked great. I came home and asked him if he liked it, and he said "you don't look any different than normal." No idea how to take that. ;) I really think most men prefer their women to look natural.
i only wear make up if i'm going out of the house (unless i'm just walking the dog--that doesn't require make up). even then i don't wear a ton, just a little bit. so, yea. husband sees me without make up all the time, and he doesn't care at all! i don't think he even really notices.
I wear makeup about 4 to 5 times a YEAR....LOL. FI very much prefers the natural look and even when I wear makeup, he doesn't like lots of it...which is good b/c neither do I. I plan to glam it up a bit for my wedding but that's it.
After 7 yrs, DH has seen me at my best & worst. I'm long past the stage of not wanting him to see me without makeup.
Ehhh we live together and wearing make up for him is not something I ever think/care about. I mean, I wear make up to work everyday and going out at night but the rest of the time he see's me au-natural. And guess what? He loves me anyways. Even when I wake up with scary morning breath, drool on my face, and my hair looks like cousin IT.
My fiance is well aware of my skin care regimes and sees me pinching whiteheads and applying various creams to my face. And I pinch the pimples on his back. I guess our relationship is not as romantic anymore... but comfortable and happy!
My FI definitely prefers it when I'm not wearing any make up so I barely ever wear any at home. I have scared him a few times by putting on a clay mask or something.
As soon as I get home, I take off my makeup (that I wear to work), wash my face, put my hair up in a ponytail and change into tshirt/leggings/sweats/etc. If my husband had a fit over me not looking perfect all the time or commented on it negatively, he would have been kicked to the curb several years ago.
I go all natural 99.98% of the time.
If we are going out to an event, or it is a special occasion I will wear a little makeup, but nothing fancy.In fact, my partner pitches a fit when I "put my face on", he doesn't think I need to "improve" myself.
I really think that once you get to a certain point in a relationship the whole "mystery" of being made up fades -- and that is as it should be, any guy that thinks every woman should look magazine perfect 100% of the time is delusional. I think that if there is a genuine relationship, imperfections are part of the whole package, it is about seeing the "whole you"--even the secret parts you won't share with the rest of the world.
hth!
@LGenz: LOL I've done the same thing...why are people so uneasy about clay masks?!
My husband hates it when I wear a lot of makeup - when I would come home from makeup trials in the months leading up to our wedding he HATED how I looked. I wear a normal amount on most days (but not face makeup or heavy eyeliner), but don't think twice about going bare on the weekends. However, I try not to let anyone see me without my eyelashes curled - that's my vanity.
I wear makeup every day to work. I usually don't wash my face until it's bed time or later in the evening, but I have no problem hanging out with FI when I have a bare face. On the weekends I usually don't put makeup on unless we're going somewhere or having people over. If I get a big blemish on my forehead, chin, or elsewhere FI will go, "eww look at your third eye." He's only joking of course. He'd never say anything hurtful like that to me. We're just silly like that I guess though.
I always live by that saying, "If he doesn't love you at your worst than he doesn't deserve you at your best."
the boy hates when I wear ANY make up, which doesn't bother me because then I dont have to take extra time to putting it on in the morning or taking it off at night. I don't wear a lot of make to begin with, so even when/if we go out anywhere I just put on eye liner and mascara.
FI HATES when I wear makeup. Hates. I try to sneak some on when we do fancy thing like weddings, and he always says it's too much :)
i hardly ever wear makeup, and DH doesn't care. if i do put on makeup he'll say i don't need it
>>I wear makeup every day to work. I usually don't wash my face until it's bed time or later in the evening, but I have no problem hanging out with FI when I have a bare face. On the weekends I usually don't put makeup on unless we're going somewhere or having people over.<<
Ditto. The only time I have not worn makeup leaving the house was when I had a horrible, absolutely horrible sunburn earlier this year.
I enjoy wearing makeup, and usually wear it around my husband. But it's not like I put it on JUST for him. He has also seen me make-up free plenty of times (working out, snowboarding, getting ready for bed, or just plain didn't feel like putting it on). I suffer from acne, so my make-up free face is usually red, blotchy, and angry looking. When we first met I was a little self concious, but it quickly went away.
I wear makeup everyday but I'm completely and totally comfortable with no make-up at all around my FI. Everyone has imperfections (sometimes more than others) so I'm not worried. In the early stages of our relationship I was a little more uptight about "touch ups" when we spent weekends together but he has never made me feel less than beautiful -- makeup or no makeup! :) You shouldn't worry about this at all!
He's seen me every which way. I don't get how it's possible to avoid it when we live together! Are there really women who go to bed at night with a face full of makeup?
I guess it's not a big shock for him to see me without makeup because it's not like I wear a lot of it anyway. I put on a bit of eyeshadow and mascara for work, and concealer if I have any spots to cover up, and that's it.
Maybe some women wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis, so much so that they look entirely differnet without it? But no matter what your makeup-usage level, he's going to see you without it sooner or later! It's pointless to stress over it. If he loves you, he's going to think you're beautiful no matter what.
No man worth your little finger would be shocked or unhappy to see you without makeup. They know we're human! After a certain point, you stop pretending that you poop rose petals and never fart. :) Ditto the makeup. Some of the joys of living together.
I'm really fortunate that I have mostly blemish-free skin most of the time, but my skin has it's fair share of freak outs, especially in winter. A few years ago my face started to get super dry in the winter for no good reason. No fun.
But my FI is totally used to seeing me without makeup. I don't wear it every day anyway, and on a normal day I will usually just wear mascara. FI likes the natural look- when I try to use darker color eye shadow or lip gloss than usual, he says I look "fake".
When I do wear full makeup, it consists of foundation, powder (to set the foundation), blush, eyeshadow (usually in natural brown shades, but occasionally in some pink/purple colors for night), mascara, and a nearly-nude color lip gloss.
For the wedding I might pull out the liquid eyeliner, but I can't decide. I on a normal day I'll just use my darkest eyeshadow to line my eyes.
I never wear make up... soooo it's always off when I'm with FI. Haha! Like @missmouse29: I only wear make up for a special occasion - a nice party or a special date. And when I do FI usually says something sweet like "What the hell is all over your face?!" ;) My skin is pretty clear most of the time, and I'm way too lazy to put make up on everyday. This is my face, love it or hate it. :)
I wear makeup from the time I wake up til I go to bed and NEVER leave the house without it unless it's a true emergency. Anyway, a few months into dating my husband he showed up at my place and woke me up with pancakes he made as a nice surprise. It was so sweet that I couldn't tell him to go away, but I was mortified that he was seeing me without makeup. He didn't care one bit and he still doesn't today. He really can't even tell the difference, even though to me the difference seems huge.
I'm betting your SO will think you're beautiful either way and if you don't say anything about it he might not even notice.
In college with my boyfriends I was very self conscious of this. I never even washed make up off if I stayed the night somewhere. I'd wake up with it half worn off and black all over my face, but for some reason I still thought I looked better with it on. I guess I figured that since I always wore make up they'd not like me as much without or something stupid. With my husband, when we first started dating I was staying over at his house he made a comment like, 'aren't you going to take that off?' before we went to bed one night. He didn't care at all. He loves me for who I am- make up or no make up (and I don't have the best skin either). I guess I needed him to point that out to me. I still like wearing make up and wear it everyday, but I don't put it on if I'm not leaving the house anymore. If your SO really cares about you, it's not going to matter to him either. Also, leaving the make up on all the time made my skin much worse than it already was.
This thread made me think of something funny - I have an aunt who wears a ton of makeup (foundation, heavy eyeliner and shadow, lipstick, the works). I have seen her really, really early in the morning (while she is still in her pajamas) with that mask on, which makes me think she sleeps in it and then washes and re-masks at the same time. I am not judging, I mean - whatever works - but it makes me kind of sad for her marriage... either she is not comfortable enough with her husband to EVER let him see her without makeup, or he makes a big deal about only liking her with makeup. Sad.
I never wear makeup. So...yes, my FH sees me without it. I wouldn't say I'm "blessed" with a clear complexion or anything like that either. I get zits (and I break out more easily nowadays, since I went off my BC), but you know what? I'm not going to spend a half hour smearing gunk all over my face just because society says that if I don't I'm ugly. (That's not to say that I have issues with other people wearing makeup...but that's why I personally do not. Mostly it's 'cause I don't want to get up a half hour earlier, LOL.) Very, VERY rarely I'll wear tinted lip gloss (usually I just put on some lip chap), and once or twice I've worn eyeshadow (left over from my junior high years, where I wore full makeup every day for half a year, and then figured to hell with it, people found something else to tease me about), but that's it.
I work night shift and while I used to wear makeup to work, I just don't bother anymore. No one sees me!
Then on my days off I usually don't bother either, even though FI sees me all the time.
I only bother when I'm going out somewhere (like a date, I don't mean groceries!), on a special occassion, or just when I feel like it!
I wear makeup during the day (to cover some minor redness and whatnot, and because I love being a little dolled up), but it comes off at night when I shower. DH notices but doesn't really care--he appreciates it when I make a special effort to look extra-nice (blush and lip color instead of just concealer and a little eyeliner), but I think he prefers me without any makeup. I was never self-conscious to be bare-faced around him, unlike some of the guys I've dated who made me feel like absolute crap when I wasn't wearing makeup.
I only wear makeup on special occasions. I am way, way too lazy to do otherwise. My fiance really likes when I do (though I suspect it has as much to do with wearing a dress and actually dressing like a girl instead of an androgynous slacker), but I hate bothering. My complexion isn't perfect but I figure nobody's really is.
I wear makeup everyday to work and when we go out, I just think I look better that way. When its just us and we aren't going anywhere then I don't bother. FH has seen me completely wasted with mascara running down my face and big puffy red eyes b/c I was crying over the pizza guy messing up the order, not to mention the time he took care of me when I had the stomach flu, yuck! If I didn't scare him away with that I'm not worried about a few pimples here and there!!
I wear makeup whenever I go "out" which means to see people I don't see every day (my fi and my boss basically). That amounts to me wearing makeup usually like 1-2x/week + Saturdays when we have date night. FI definitely likes when I wear makeup and do my hair and all of that, but I don't think it bothers him that most of the time I go without. I work from home mostly so getting dressed and putting on makeup to go work on the couch seems to be over-doing it to me.
I'm pretty self-conscious about my skin, as well. I have rosacea, so I tend to have redness issues and I never leave the house without make-up on. I used to think I would have an issue with FI seeing me without make-up, but he's made it clear that he thinks I look prettiest first thing in the morning with no make-up and crazy hair. We live together now and I honestly could care less if I'm not wearing make-up around him.
I don't wear make-up everyday - I'm a school teacher and quite frankly the less attractive my teenage male students find me the better (dirty little bastards, you can't even bend over to type something at the desk without them trying to look down your top). I went with special occasions - but I do mean parties and dinner dates we go out to, so that's more like 1-3 times a week. SO does love it when I have my glam face on but he understands why I don't do it every day, regardless of whether I have a honking big zit LOL. And he's seen me at the point that I was so sick I almost passed out in a carpark... I think he loves me anyway :D
Um, I wear makeup all the time, but I don't when I'm just at home with hubby not going anywhere. He loves me for me whether or not I have it on. I can't imagine living with someone and being so paranoid about him seeing any imperfections. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of for better or for worse?
He prefers less make-up which is awesome for me beacuse it's such a hassle. That doesn't keep me from spending tons of money at the MAC counter though. I like to buy it but I don't really like wearing it.
I don't wear much most days as it is. Usually I throw on a little concealer and eyeliner and maybe some mascara. Some days it's a little more, but it makes my face too oily if I wear it too many days in a row.
FI likes me better with no makeup too! I've never worn much, and he does like it when I get dressed up, but he prefers me with no makeup in general.
The first time DH husband saw me without make-up he said he didn't know why I wear make-up as I do not need it!
I wear makeup every day to work, and on the weekends, I'll put some on if we leave the house, but it's more for my benefit than for his. He prefers me bare-faced, although sometimes I have no idea how/why!
