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

[-] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

There's something about a scruffy dude with some guy liner, you should get him to try it once, thank me later.

[-] Broken_Monitor@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Yeah that JD Vance look. Smoke show!

Recent discussions tell me I better put the old /s in here…

Some say he’s the pull-out king

Edit: whatever he is, he’s definitely heterosectional

Though, to be fair, have you seen a picture of Vance without the eye liner and facial hair... the look does a lot to help him. He just takes it a little too far. It's not magic. It can only help so much before it starts to look desperate.

Purely aesthetically I like light makeup. She doesn't look best in light makeup though. We like hiking and most of our vacations are to various trails. She is at her most attractive after a difficult climb. She is a very strong climber and during the climb she has an amazing confidence. Right after she gets to the top and sees the view she gets this look of accomplishment and joy and it's absolutely breathtaking. So she looks best sweaty, dirty, exhausted, and happy.

Man, that's the kind of relationship I dream about... Though swap the climb for a hike because I'm deathly afraid of heights 😂

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 32 points 1 month ago

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.

Personally, I don't like noticeable make-up. If it's barely visible, it's fine as well but in general I like 'no make up' the best.

It's also not only about looks:

  • If you wear make-up, you have to be careful with rain, touching the face, kissing etc.
  • It may take a lot of time to apply.
  • It's expensive.
  • It's rather bad than good for your skin.
  • It's bad for the environment (more trash, animal testing, contimination of water etc.).

No make-up = Win-Win-Win-[...]

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

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

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
[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

Big nope to that. I prefer natural looks.

[-] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Nope nopedi nope.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

I'm a sucker for cat eye and lashes on my wife.

[-] toothpaste_sandwich@feddit.nl 9 points 1 month ago

Not at all. But then I, thankfully, live in a country where makeup use isn't as normalized as in many other countries like the US and more eastern European countries.

[-] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] waz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

To me she looks the best when she just woke up. All messy and wild. How nature intended her to be.

[-] theherk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

And post shower. Tasty.

[-] borf@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 month ago

When we started dating she had a light-"natural" style of makeup I liked. Ten years later I'm not entirely sure what happened but when she puts on makeup now it's much more extreme and not really attractive to me. It makes her feel pretty which is what matters I guess.

[-] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

My partner recently shared a video/clip about the differences between the way girls do makeup to attract guys vs the way girls do makeup to attract girls. What your comment reads like to me is that she put on the light makeup because she figured you would like that, but now, she's figured that there's no need to attract you with her makeup anymore

[-] Imhotep@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Yea. But I still think she is pretty without it too.

[-] k_rol@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

I've only seen her with makeup once because she did a photoshoot, she was pretty but just differently.

On the day to day she may put on some lip balm and I prefer her look without.

[-] TurboMars3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Not better, but more familiar.

[-] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 5 points 1 month ago
[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

No. I can't stand women wearing makeup. I like reality.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Light makeup makes her look as confident as I wish she could be at baseline. She has a lot to be confident about but has horrendous self-confidence(relatively speaking). We're all a work in progress though.

Heavy makeup(indian weddings...) and I feel like I don't recognize her and she hates it too so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, but shes gorgeous without it as well. She wears little make up, except for some stuff around the eyes. I really like her eyes, and the makeup does make them even prettier.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

yup, and I'm real up front about it as early as possible.

I've always had an aversion to people wearing makeup. I'm not sure where it came from, and I know I came across Rocky horror picture show young and i already really didn't like makeup, but I've never gotten seriously involved with anyone who uses makeup with any regularity, especially lipstick.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

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

No, it only detracts from her perfection.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 month ago

I've never really thought makeup made anyone look better. Even stage makeup makes people look worse than just being au natural.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.
