Guys, boyfriend says he prefers me without makeup?

I know for a fact that I look very attractive with make up than without make up.
Whenever I go out with make up I have plenty of guys asking for my number and hitting on me, and my family and friends have told me that I look better and more "polished" with make up.
i don't put a lot on, but I do conceal my scars I have from acne :/
I wear foundation+mascara+lipstick and that's it.
My boyfriend hasn't seen me without make up til recently, and he knows I am a bit insecure about my skin (since I have acne marks from puberty). He tells me that he prefers me without make up and whenever I don't wear make up he always goes "awe:) yea this is way better".
does he mean it? or is he doing that to boost my esteeM?
