As a "seasoned" LOL 30 something, most dudes may tell youthey like a "natural look" but don't have the slightest clue about what most of the products we use regularly are used for and how they really make us look so damn good--even with a "natural" look.

I agree with this, totally. When I've dated a guy who got all pouty about me wearing makeup when we went out, I always read it as a sort of a dominance thing. He didn't want anyone else looking at me, he wanted to make sure he was in control of my appearance, et cetera...It came off as a 'sign of things to come' with regards to that sort of passive aggressive behavior. Your situation, of course, may be totally different! I'd watch out for any other sort of power plays in his actions, though, just in case.
As for the natural look, the above quoted is once again right on! Men, for all their words otherwise, like the looks makeup can achieve. If they didn't, wouldn't we see a lot more sex symbols go barefaced? The natural look to a man usually just translates to natural-ish: unnoticeable foundation, neutral shadows and eyeliner, mascara, and a little lipgloss. Subtle, I suppose. Some guys I know have described Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman, et cetera, as girl's who don't wear a lot of makeup. Of course, we know that to be not true, but that's how they see it.
If you don't feel comfortable going out without a little touch of something on your face, than don't! Especially not just for some guy. If he really is a nice fellow, he'll understand you like wearing makeup and don't want to stop just because he said so.
Also, comedy shave his balls option.
