    Default Boyfriend and makeup?

    A slight situation.

    My boyfriend, forgive me for sounding conceited, is amazingly gorgeous. He's far prettier than me. He's an almost perfect Jude Law look alike face wise, and is nice and lean, and, well...hot.

    But apparantly, growing up he was chubby, with really horrible acne. He was picked on a lot, so he has terrible self esteem. He still thinks he's ugly, even though girls get whiplash when he walks by.

    The problem is he still thinks he has bad skin (its flawless...not a bump or color irregularity on him). I've noticed he has foundation in his drawer, and poorly matching foundation at that (i can sometimes see it when I'mc lose to his face...lil makeup lines).

    How do I tell him to stop it? I don't want to embarass him or anything...I just love him like crazy and think he's gorgeous! Any tips to make him less self-conscious?

    haaa. i dated a guy about three years exactly like that.. he was a big bigger back in the day and then he started working out hard core, and got super hot... gorgeous, im talking girls would just stare everytime we were together.... he too, used to have some kind of blemish coverup and would occasionally use it if he thought his skin wasn't perfect that day... i would get so irritated with him bc he really didn't need it... i just kept telling him that he was perfect without it and so he stopped using it... and i suggested tanning to him as well... he started going and stopped using the concealer.. i'd rather have a man go tanning than wear makeup any day.

    I use to date a fitness model/body builder who use to wear makeup...freaked me out a bit too. But only used it for pics, that's about it.

    Wow, I don't know how I would tell him. I guess tell him that you love him how he is, and that he doesn't need that stuff. I compliment him constantly before and after you tell him.

    Play dumb to bring it up, "Ohhh, what's this on your cheek?" And then maybe you can talk about it. BUT I would just leave it be. I was a total ugly duckling growing up so I know how he feels. It's probably a "comfort blanket" thing to him..and women get to wear makeup everyday...
    I would be too into it & would take him to the Clinique counter...LOL...

    Find an article that says makeup worsens acne and leave it out where he can see it. There should be plenty of those around because it does. It blocks your pores and they get all clogged with makeup, oil, dirt, etc. and you get much pimplier than you would if you just washed it with a good face wash everyday and let it breathe.
