1. He Loves You
One of the main reasons not to worry about your partner seeing you without makeup is that he loves you as you are. He doesn't only love you when you've got your face fully made up! And a man who loves you loves you whatever you look like; when you're ill, look like you haven't slept in weeks, and have your hair messed up. In fact, he probably prefers the natural you!
***
True affection transcends external appearances. Often, your partner will cherish those moments when you're at your most real and vulnerable because they reveal the truest version of yourself. There's a certain authenticity that make-up can mask—your unique freckles, the genuine glow of your skin, or the softness in your eyes when you first wake up. These are the intimate qualities your partner celebrates and connects with deeply. Remember, it's not just about finding you beautiful in a glam look, but also embracing every aspect that makes you uniquely you.
2. Natural You
What's wrong with the natural you anyway? Absolutely nothing. Makeup should be a fun tool to play with, not a default setting. If you're worried about your partner seeing you without your makeup on, you're probably worried about how you look without it. Well stop worrying - you look fine. Like a normal woman, in fact!
Frequently asked questions
3. Men Don't Care
Most men don't care one bit if you wear makeup or not. If you asked a group of men whether they prefer a picture of a woman with no makeup, natural makeup, or heavy makeup, chances are they'll opt for option 1 or 2. So why worry about your partner seeing you without makeup on if he's not concerned about it?
4. Comfortable
Learn to be comfortable without makeup on, rather than worrying how awful you look (which you probably don't). It's how we're meant to be, after all. How can you truly be intimate with your partner if you're scared to let him see you without your makeup on? Use makeup to enhance your looks, not to hide them.
5. Obsessive
Some women don't leave the house without makeup on. But if you seriously can't bear the thought of even your partner seeing your naked face, that could be bordering on obsessive. It's not necessarily vanity; in fact, it could be the opposite. But either way it's not healthy to be that uncomfortable with your own looks.
***
It's essential to feel at ease in your own skin, and a significant other should love you for who you are—flaws and all. Makeup can be a form of self-expression or a fun beauty routine, but it shouldn't become a crutch you rely on to feel worthy of affection. Work on fostering self-love and confidence that comes from within. Sure, glam up when you want to, but also celebrate your natural beauty. Remember, a truly supportive partner will cherish your bare-faced mornings just as much as your dolled-up nights out.
6. Relax
You should be able to relax and be yourself with your partner. It's one thing making more of an effort in the early days and wanting your new man to see you at your best. But later on you should be more relaxed around him and happy for him to see you without makeup on. Freaking out that he might see your naked face is definitely not relaxing!
7. Self-Esteem
Finally, if your self-esteem is built around wearing makeup then that's not a very healthy place to be. Learn to see yourself as more than just your looks. Your personality and achievements are more important than your looks. Enjoy experimenting with your appearance, but don't make it the most important thing about you.
Being seen without makeup isn't a disaster, so don't worry about how you look. Your guy loves you regardless; anyone who values you only on your looks isn't worth having in your life. And above all, learn to be comfortable yourself with your natural looks. Do you hate anyone seeing you without makeup on?
Comments
Isabella: Having a partner is having someone who loves you no matter what, it's you that they love, not what's on your face ;)
Dhaneesha: Shannon Jill, those were my thoughts exactly! Thank you for sharing :)
bonbon: I doubt any man will love a woman with a fully made up face. What is there exactly to love? Her foundation? Or three coats of mascara?
Shannon: That photo looks like two women. That's great BC all relationships should be celebrated. I'm just thinking the article should have been written from the perspective of a man/woman loving you for who you are.
Apeksha: Every woman is made different because we were meant to BE different. We are all beautiful and yes we all get insecure but at the end of the day if your nice, it will show, if you smile, you will glow! :)
Teanna: Great article, great point but I agree with Shannon; the picture looks like two women. The article is also entitled using the ambiguous term "your partner". They shouldn't have made it look so open only for it to actually be limited to just a boyfriend/fiance/husband
shannon: I'm not that insecure
Iqra: I think fearing to let people see you without makeup stems from insecurity and not being comfortable in your own skin. I, myself am working on this and I plan to go out alot more without makeup in 2015 and to love myself more for who I am :)
