And then I tried to get an answer out of him to as why the make-up looked bad. Which the only answer I got was that it covers up my skin. LOL

I don't cake it on like a clown but grrrr...I get so annoyed when guys can't answer girly questions or are afraid to. LOL I even asked him if I looked dry, like a clown, like a tranny, like its the wrong color,scent...lol
Its none of those so WHAT IS IT? Anyone?

And now they flip of that is there is this deep red lipstick I wear that makes him go crazy. Mixed signals?

I kinda think lipstick looks off/wrong without having foundation on but he doesn't.
Now, when you say 'crazy'...

Doesn't sound like mixed signals at all. Sounds rather clear to me.

As a guy, I like the natural you-can't-tell made up look. Girls are pretty in general, but no face is perfect. Many are almost perfect. The natural makeup hides the flaws and gives the perfect look everyone wants. It's all good from here.

My husband likes both. He appreciates the smoky eyes when I take the time to do them before a date, and he likes the fresh out of the shower look. It seems to put him in the mood!
I think what men do NOT like is visible foundation and gloppy lipstick. Dark red lipstick on a nearly bare face is sexy!

My husband likes make-up, though he prefers it a little more subdued than what I wear. But it wouldn't bother him if I decided to forego it altogether. However, to suddenly go au natural all the time is not "me", so that's not likely to ever happen. Even on my days off I often dab on a little color on my lips.

My wife doesn't use cosmetics and I know she doesn't, because (apart from the fact that she says so) there aren't any in the house. I don't see what she could improve if she used the stuff, anyway. She looks fine to me.

This is pretty much how I feel about Mrs. Lao. I think she's super beautiful when she wakes up with plain face, and makeup never makes her less attracive either. Sometimes, when I know she's not wearing any makeup, I'll tell her "Why are you still wearing makeup?" or "Did you fall asleep with your makeup still on?".

Wait. What? He answered your question clearly and directly, yet you are upset that he didn't answer your question?

His answer to you is extremely flattering and you just rush right by it.

I just wanted to make sure I was not sporting clown town make-up. Someone elses eyes can see things that mine may of missed.

Hearing why's is just what I need. If someone was suggested by me that one thing was more flattering than the other thing I could tell them exactly why.
Also my skin is not that nice. It gets blotchy sometimes, breaks out sometimes and thank goodness for foundation then!
