    Anyone can look better with the right makeup, even me and I am AMAB, this was from last night. And anyone can look worse. But generally makeup feels fake, so less is more IMHO. But it’s totally my partners’ choice if they want to wear it or not. It’s for them more than me.

    She always looks good, I’m not particular about the specific texture of her skin.

    I honestly can’t remember how she looks with makeup on. She has worn it maybe a dozen times in the decade plus that I’ve known her.

    She looks fine without it. She seems happy without it. I don’t really care either way.

    I know it’s kind of lame, but I like it when she likes it. She wears relatively light makeup, maybe some eye shadow and lash stuff. It accentuates the things she likes about herself, but she’s also totally comfortable wearing none. So basically, I like when she wears makeup and when she doesn’t, because she’s not doing it because she feels compelled, she’s doing it because she feels like it, and I like how she looks when she looks how she wants to look.

      Setting of a the positive feedback loop of love:

      1. You’re happy because she’s happy
      2. She’s happy because you’re happy

    Anyone that says makeup doesn’t make people look more attractive is lying and disrespectful of the skill it uses.

    Whether you’re okay with them saving their time is a different discussion.

      I think it’s more that a lot of people only think of badly done makeup and see well done makeup as natural beauty, which it enhances rather than contrasting with

      Of course someone with clown-face-adjacent levels of makeup is going to look worse, but if done to make the skin look natural but smoother, eyes look natural but bigger and features natural but better defined then yes, I think very few people will find that less attractive

      Stage makeup isn’t supposed to look good up close though, or really even look good at all - it’s just to make you look like you have a face to people sitting farther away.

    The first time I saw my wife with makeup was our wedding day. Since then at most once every few months for work and then only maybe eye shadow and lipstick. Safe to say I prefer no makeup. Let the natural beauty shine on its own!

    One of my partners wears it and I think so. She only puts it on for special occasions or when she wants to have fun with it so I associate it with those things. My other partner doesn’t wear it and I don’t mind a bit. I only wear it when going out and never to hide my features

    They always look good. Normal day levels of makeup looks great. Special event extra fine makeup looks great. Morning face with no makeup looks great. I just like their face.

    Don’t know. Never seen him in makeup. But I suspect not. I don’t even like it when he shaved his beard.

    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.

    No, I greatly prefer no makeup. At least no foundation. A little eye makeup can be nice.
