Funny story: Early on in our marriage, Brandon told me he thought I looked great without make-up. Why use it? he told me. So, I decided to try something. I didn’t wear make-up for an entire week (not that I wore that much anyway, but me without mascara? Mortifying, beady little eyes, I swear!). At the end of the week, Brandon said “You know, umm…I really wouldn’t mind if you wore make-up again…” Ha! I had caught him. But it was okay, because I agreed with him that make-up made me look better. It totally does. I want the chance to “do myself up” and he liked it, too. Nothing wrong with that, eh?

He won’t kiss me with lipstick, though (well, just a quick, barely touching peck is all he will do), and so he’s out of luck on that one because I wear it all the time. :)

I never wear makeup, but it’s probably because of my sensory issues—I’m always itchy and wearing make up feels really uncomfortable.

My husband likes that I don’t wear it. I’ve never heard him voice an opinion on other people wearing it, though.

I personally get distracted with all the make up actors on TV and in movies wear. Especially men actors. I’m always spotting their lipstick and mascara. Totally distracting.

Myself and my husband are perfect matches for you and yours, Summer! I very rarely wear makeup. When I do (like, 3-4 times a year?), it’s usually just some light mascara, and these days, *maybe* some mineral makeup to hide blemishes and add some blush to my cheeks.

We also often have full conversations revolving around women wearing too much makeup. My husband hates it, and I hate it too, but to a lesser degree.

I appreciate subtly done makeup on women. My husband doesn’t hate it when it’s subtle, but he regularly makes comments about how glad he is I don’t feel like I need to use makeup to make myself look better. I’m glad for that, since I’ve never enjoyed spending the time to apply it, or the feel of wearing it (although mineral makeup is WORLDS better for the feel!).

I don’t wear make up every day…I do wear some make up most days…I wear a mineral foundation (never wore foundation until there was the possiblity of using mineral foundation…too cakey and just plain gross - and now that I’m in my 30s…my skin tones need some even-ing out) and a bit of mineral makeup on the cheek bones, mascara and lip gloss or stay-put lipstick. My husband likes it when I wear make up but also when I don’t wear any. He’s pretty much of the feeling…’I love you, I like how you look. If you want to wear makeup great, if you don’t…that’s fine too. ‘ He doesn’t like it when a girl looks over-done (if you know what I mean). Personally, I think makeup looks best when it is very natural…and it’s convenient for me since there are those days when the make up just doesn’t find its way onto my face.

I think my husband wishes that I would put make-up on more often. But I know he still loves me even without it on.

Beaker is very much like your husband. He groans any time we travel because I have to pack my make up case, just in case. I think I’ve worn make up a whopping 3 times since we were married, and he loves the no makeup look. Swears I look better (I do have more colour without make-up), but I sometimes like to even out the splotches (well… at job interviews anyhow).

I’ll probably start wearing make up when I start doing the tupperware gig, but that’ll probably be it.

I am not a big make-up kind of girl, in fact often times I wonder if when I do wear it if I am wearing it right :) !! However, the times I do put on a little mascara or something, my husband always notices … but I think he prefers that fact that I like to go simple and natural.

I rarely wear make-up either, and when I do it’s just a bit of mascara and eyeliner. I can’t stand having a bunch of ‘gunk’ all over my face. Ron doesn’t mind that I don’t wear it - I don’t think he cares one way or the other.

I am grateful for Makeup. I am cursed with extra pale skin. With the light skin comes huge black circles under my eyes. Without fail, when I don’t wear makeup someone will ask me if I am sick or really tired. In fact, I used to use that in gym in high school when I didn’t want to play hard. I had it first period and hated getting sweaty to start out the day. So I wouldn’t put makeup on, and my teacher would say “You don’t look like you feel well.” and always let me sit out.
As for Jim, he likes it when I get all made up for date night. However, he is always complementary when I choose the natural route. He frequently tells me he loves that he married a wife that doesn’t need make up to be beautiful. In fact, our first kiss was at a lake when I had not put makeup on for days. It is so nice to know that my hubby finds me attractive no matter what.

I don’t wear as much as I used too. Every once in awhile I’ll put some eyeliner on, and my husband will say my eyes look pretty today!

When I used cover up for a zit, he’d tell me I put too much makeup on.

And he’s let me know what color lipstick looks good on me.
Like Deb’s husband I don’t think mine cares one way or the other.

Sometimes I wear make- up, sometimes I don’t. Mostly I don’t, and my husband doesn’t mind much. In fact, he was in such a hurry to get me out the door to update my driver’s license that he complained when I wanted to put some foundation on. So I went bare- faced- and oh, dear gods do I hate that picture.

My husband says he dislikes make-up, but he always says I look nice when I’m wearing it. I don’t wear lipstick though. My lips are very full and I look ridiculous with lipstick on. Love my lip balm!

Wow…how fascinating!

I had a similar mean girl experience but sadly I went the other way…wanting to be like them so they wouldn’t pick on me so much. It’s only recently I’ve been able to leave the house without makeup on.

Neil refuses to express an opinion for fear of getting in trouble.

I usually wear a little make-up. I’m not sure my husband minds either way, he loves me anyway. :-) But I like to have some to even out my skin tone and control the oiliness.

(I like your new background! It’s fun to have a change. :-) )

I think my husband is used to seeing the women around him in make-up and he doesn’t know any different. I’m a make-up wearer - I look A LOT better with make-up - I just do!

Have a good evening, Summer - see ya - Kellan

My hubby prefers that I not wear makeup. I usually forgo the makeup during the week - with twins toddlers, there’s just too much messy mess being caked all over me anyway - who needs makeup!!

I do wear it (minimally!! - I hate the feeling of it on my face!) on Sundays for church, or a day out somewhere special. That does not include the grocery store. Not special enough for makeup. ;-)

I wear make up about four times a year (except 2006 when I tried to sell Mary Kay…the entire year I looked like a clown because I have a heavy hand and have no clue how to actually where the stuff) and usually do eye liner and mascara only.

Anytime I wear the stuff, I get one of two remarks from hubby dearest.

a) What’s with all the mud on your face?
b) Who gave you two black eyes?

During 2006 he graciously kept his mouth shut minus the 50 bajillion times he made fun of me.

I”m with Kathie, my skin is so pale if I’m not wearing makeup someone always asks if I”m feeling well and I look so tired. The problem is I HATE wearing it. THank God for mineral makeup it’s at least a little better. My hubby couldn’t care less if I wear makeup or not.

My hubbie loves my bare face.

I’m not sure my husband cares one way or the other. There are times when I complain that I don’t want to put on make-up to make a run to WalMart. He always says that even without my make-up, I’m the best looking woman there. Awwww.

It’s funny, I wear more make-up now than I ever did when I was a professional working woman. And, I don’t wear a lot of it now: a dusting of translucent powder (I can’t stand foundation or blush), lipstick, some mascara and liner. I think that since I’m home all day now and not getting the professional satisfaction of being good at something and being recognized for it, I need the pick-me-up that looking put together gives me!

My husband doesn’t mind the make-up, but he always tells me that I’m more beautiful without it.

Oh sad… you don’t consider me a male reader? :D

LOL! No, you’re just my brother dontcha know? ;)
