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

    I can’t imagine him in makeup, but he was having midlife rosacea and getting cosmetic treatment, not just the dermatologist but the MedSpa stuff, really good skin makes a big difference.

    On me we agree, a light tinted sunscreen and some mascara or very subtle top eyeliner is best looking - the sort of makeup guys think is no makeup, basically. Before COVID I would have said more eyeliner, mascara, eyebrows filled, and lip gloss but happy for the change, people do wear less everyday makeup now.

        He got IPL, it is $300 a round but can pay from the HSA or FSA if it is for rosacea and your dermatologist may be able to get it covered by your insurance. Yes he found one treatment with the IPL did more than all the stuff he did with the dermatologist for two years now. They have other treatments if you still are having bad breakouts, he had the acne part tackled with tretinoin - the IPL significantly reduced redness and helped a lot with texture. It’s not one and done but couple times a year, maybe eventually once a year, not bad.

    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.

    That’s sort of the point of the stuff. If you use it right, it works.

    I’m happy either way. I think the key is that it has to be done with enough subtly that you don’t realize it’s there.

    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.

    Not better or worse, just different. But those kind of things are really more for her than me anyway. She’s most attractive when she feels good about herself.

      For me, it’s primarily the confidence boost that’s attractive.

      She’s very good with makeup, and doesn’t overuse it. Who am I to say if she wants a little more jaw angle, or eyelash definition.

    Of course not. I’m in love with a whole person, not her appearance. I love her fierce intellect, her passion for justice, her wanderer’s spirit. I love that we can sit together and watch anything only for it to lead to a new and endlessly fascinating discussion.

    Makeup doesn’t affect any of that.

    I like how makeup highlights her favorite features or hides when she feels tired or insecure. I like that it helps her feel more fully herself. I think it’s great that makeup can do that for her.

    She will always be attractive to me for who she is. How she looked may have helped me first talk to her, but who she is has kept us talking for 16 years.

    Yes, but only because makeup is one of her passions that she can get really nerdy about. Something about her trying new, colorful looks and excitedly showing me makes me find her more attractive. I used to be a guy who didn’t like makeup.

    One night my ex decided to wear make up even though she never did. It wasn’t badly done but it felt odd, it just wasn’t her

    But honestly I don’t care much, except for fake lashes, I don’t find that attractive in the slightest

    I’m ambivalent. Makeup is fine, but I wouldn’t say she’s prettier with it. Doesn’t help that currently she’s following some TikTok makeup people and they have her doing a ton of layers and gluing on eyelashes and stuff. I don’t care for it at all, but it makes her happy so I haven’t mentioned it.

    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
