So is it safe to assume its now the Ex boyfriend(I hope so)

I wear minimal make-up (if any at all) as well but I disagree that make-up invariably ages you and makes your skin bad. And if you can't see someone's concealed spots, that's because they've done a good job.

I always get a chuckle when guys say girls look better without makeup because they tend to point out girls who are still wearing a bit of foundation and lip gloss. Like how magazines show pictures of celebrities "without makeup"...yet they're obviously just wearing their "day makeup" and not the heavier night stuff. Which isn't to say that there aren't the girls who look amazing without makeup. But many of us do need to cover pores, redness, pimples, and scars. So when you say a girl has great skin, she might just be wearing amazing makeup. If she knows how to apply it properly, it CAN be hard to tell if she's even wearing any (which IMO should be the point of makeup. It's there to cover flaws and enhance features you want enhanced. Don't just slather it on for the Oompa Loompa look).

You must know how to put it on then, in order for him to realize and appreciate the art and science of makeup. Lots of guys can be total dicks in relationships but I'm sure he meant it in the best way possible. I really don't mind my girl going minimalistic with her makeup but for Valentine's this year she put on some silver eyeshadow and she looked lovely and... well... You know... >_>

Whenever men say "girls are prettier without makeup on", in fact, we just want to say "we love rather a girl who is pretty if she doesn't put on makeup than every girls who do." The former is the abbreviation of the latter.

Well make up enhances your beauty. Its not like you're a hideous monster, but when you remove your make up there's gonna be a noticeable difference when you do a good job with it. It's a compliment to your skills.

If you don't think makeup makes you prettier, why do you spend so much time and money on it?

"Point i'm making is is even in movies and tv shows etc when the actresses have spots, you can still see them, even when they've had a professional working on them to hide it. " I'm sorry, but I don't believe that. Why hire make-up professionals if they don't change a thing?

You've obviously being doing your makeup really well if he never realised you'd look different without it. And I think a lot of guys say they prefer the no makeup look, but maybe they're talking about nude lip gloss and simple eye makeup. My guy friends (and some of the girls even) only realise I'm wearing makeup if I do something obvious like eyeliner flicks or red lipstick. Otherwise, they assume that, because I'm pale, I'm not wearing makeup. I don't think they realise you can buy makeup that isn't golden coloured. They always use me as an example of "no makeup". I bet they'd be as surprised as your boyfriend if I took it off. Most people look different with makeup.

I don't get how that's an insult. Makeups supposed to make you prettier. If it made you ugly why would anyone put it on...
