My current wife used to wear makeup and fake eyelashes and right when we started dating i told her she was only going to ruin her face with that and that it doesn't make that much of a difference.
My wife is 11 years older than me and she occasionally puts on makeup to feel a bit better just for herself, we've been together for 6 years and married since August last year.
Oof, I don't think I'd like being told that. I don't even wear makeup now that the better Korean and mineral sunscreens are available but for decades used foundation to protect my skin and it worked. I'm with you on the eyelashes but makeup is not in any way ruinous to skin and to come out the gate with a declaration like that, I would have found it so off-putting.
They may or may not be doing permanent damage but women do a lot of horrific things to their faces with makeup, eyebrows, makeup tattoos, and surgery.
There is a pretty big echo chamber with fashion and it can send things off the rails fast. Same thing happens with body builders, plastic surgery aficionados, and looksmaxers and basically any group you can think of.
Sure. But plenty of women enjoy doing makeup to please themselves, and there's nothing inherently damaging in most of it, some is even made to help your skin.
My husband likes the no makeup too, but he sure would not try to tell me it would "ruin my face". I mean - at this point he knows it doesn't as I'm holding up a lot better than he is. But regardless, it's just not really his call.
Those eyelashes, yeah - I think they are dangerous. Also filler, Botox, not gonna do any of that, they don't look good long term and would not object to an "intervention" if I did because it's at least ruinously expensive if nothing else.
I agree that isn't the best way to phrase it and that how a person feels about how they look matters way more then someone else's opinion but we are basically saying that what women tell each other what men like and what most men actually like can be very different things.
I wouldn't put makeup in the same category as tattoos and surgery.
It isn't as permanent but it can still send someone into the uncanny valley, especially the current drawn on eyebrows thing.
I think you would be shocked to know that quite often women wear makeup and it’s really subtle. It’s not like there’s only clown levels of makeup or no makeup at all.
My wife rarely ever puts on makeup. The cost savings alone is amazing enough that i love her for it lol
And the time savings is big too. On the very occasional time my wife puts on makeup to go out, it means I know we're going to be late.
