I am scared of removing my makeup in front of my boyfriend what should I do?

[Anonymous]

I'm really embarrased to even ask this. I am very ugly without makeup and I'm not exaggerating. The few people who saw me without it were either telling me they were shocked or lied to me saying I looked good (besides being visibly uncomfortable). I am skilled with makeup. I am above average looking with makeup on but without it I am really ugly. I don't even have eyebrows because I shaved my real brows off.

Being ugly doesn't bother me that much. However I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 9 months now. And besides sleeping next to him many times he has never seen me not dolled up or at least a little amount of makeup.

He recently told me he would like to see me without makeup. I panicked. I feel very secure with him and I'm 100% sure he likes me for my personality and that my appearance is just a nice bonus. But still I want to be a pretty woman for him. I don't know it scares me.

I told him that I'm ugly without makeup and that I have no eyebrows (I cosplay by the way so it's better for me like this)... he told me he doesn't care and thinks I'm gorgeous either way. Oh well he doesn't know...

I am almost sure he will be shocked. I am shocked too sometimes. I don't know what to do. I think since I want to be honest with him I will show him what I look like without makeup. But a part of me tells me not to do it because I'm really ugly. I need some help with this decision

If he really likes you, he's not going to care how you look, makeup or not. Besides, and I'm sorry to tell you this, but eventually he WILL see you without makeup on.

It's better to get it over with now and let him see the real you: no makeup or anything on! Just natural you.
Invite him over to your place for a nice dinner, movie or date night together. Then put on your nicest outfit: one that makes you feel really good, sexy, or confident in yourself. NO makeup!!! Make yourself look nice, maybe put on some body spray or perfume if you want. Then, show him how you look.

You might be surprised how he reacts.

Now if he's really that shallow and does reject you? Do you really want to be with someone that superficial? Seriously ask yourself this question. I don't care if you do consider yourself to be "ugly," that is subjective anon. Hell, I think I'm ugly too; most people do. Somewhere out there are people that probably think you're gorgeous!

It's better for a guy to see the real you, flaws and all, than him fall for a "fake" version of yourself.

If he can't accept you at your worse he doesn't deserve you at your best.

Wow geez I tell Demi she looks pretty all the time without her makeup because she does. She has the beautifulest freckles I've ever seen on any woman. The screwed up part is the guy she's with now he said that to her way after I did and of course she's with him and not me even though I felt she was like the most prettiest most beautiful woman on the planet on the whole big wide old world. (sorry I'm high right now on weed). Needed it after I put a hole in my living room wall with my fist yesterday and snapping angry and crying nonstop and yelling at everybody and screaming my head off for the past several days now

apparently he really like you r he would not ask you to o without makeup, and while your friends can give good advice i would ignore there opinion on this one. it does not matter what you look like he might be in love with your personality or some other thing its not always about looks.

Do you always plan on wearing makeup 100% of the time?

If you want to take it off, do it. You'll find out if he really likes you.

It's a big pill to swallow. The truth will set you free.

This is precisely why women shouldn't wear so much make-up all the time. The knots y'all give yourselves. At some point he'll have to see you without make-up. Either he loves you for you or doesn't.

Do it, if he doesn't like it, he isn't worth being with.
If he can't accept you for YOU, then he ain't worth your time.

I bet you're not as ugly as you think.

Sooner or later he will see you without make-up. So just do it, quick and painless.

Wearing makeup isn't going to be sustainable in sustainable in the long run so just show him ur natural face

You don't have to feel insecure, just be natural. If he genuinely loves you he'll accept you even when you're off makeup. Bc when im obsessed or attached with someone I find them more attractive without makeup and filters on pictures

He’ll like you better without it
