How does your boyfriend react to your love of makeup?

Mine went and got a MAC Pro membership (he is a photographer) so the hit to the wallet is not as hard. Nevermind that I get a bigger discount then him but he likes to surprise me with stuff. The funny thing is all the MA's at the store I go to know him better then they know me. We went to the store this weekend and all of them were like "Hey, Pedro!!" I felt like I was walking onto Cheers!

His family and everyone knows i love make up so they usually get me gift cards or make up cases or something like that for christmas and etc..

He HATES when i go to wal mart and i wanna try another eye shadow or lip gloss or something thats not MAC.. his like MAC Is the best.. that other stuff is cheap and don't look as good, his like you NEED the real stuff and he usually buys me some of it too!!.. awwe i loves him!


Yeah, that's my bf, too. I was looking around for a new lippie the other day with him and I was in one of the department stores looking at Maybelline and stuff and swatching it all and he was like 'OMG, don't do that, you always said you wanted a MAC one, lets go get one, theirs is way better'. So that was a 'sweeet' moment, also because it came out of his wallet, haha. He loves it, I'm pretty responsible with money so he knows I won't spend money I don't have, or get in over my head financially.

He comes into Ballantynes here, the biggest department store with all the mid- to high-end counters, and loves helping me pick stuff out. He doesn't know the names of anything obviously, but he'll point and things and go 'that would look good with that bright ass yellow you have!' or 'that would be a good crease colour!' Hahaha. He's so cute, and usually right, too.

He's always supported me spending money on and wearing make up, and loves me with and without it. He still seems to think I'm beautiful with my acne scars and rosacea on full display. Yick. He was the one who helped me snap out of it when I wouldn't go anywhere without having make up on and would freak out about it, now I don't care too much if I have to go somewhere in a hurry with a bare face. He does love it when I do bright colours, and even if it's kind of creased and I look oily when I get home from school/work, if it's bright he'll usually say 'you look awesome today!' all enthusiastic like. He also likes it when I bust out the smokey eye, he had a lot of porn before we got together, I think that may be why hahaha.

We're living alone and he's obviously bearing the brunt of that financially as I'm at school close to full-time, but he's been amazing about it and completely supports me doing it. He's a gem.

the only reason I started wearing makeup was because when my beau and I first started dating, he told me he hated it...then when he left me, I wore tonnes in retaliation. :]

now that we're back together - and trust me, he knows why I wear it - he's supportive of my dream of being a MUA, and actually says I should find a school to do makeup instead of going to college. however, he does hate how I always put on makeup before we go anywhere, because I'm "beautiful without it." like hell I am, I look like death warmed over without at LEAST some blush.

oh, and he doesn't know how you can spend $20+ on ONE makeup product. he has so much to learn still! he tries though, and likes it when I wear bright stuff. "WOW, that green is hot. is that like, a winter shade or something?"

baby steps, love. baby steps.

My boyfriend doesn't really seem to care about my makeup collection.

Today, my eye makeup was shades of aqua and blue, with blue mascara, and he said "You look really pretty. I like your eyes!"

He seems to like the bright, colorful looks, especially his fave color, blue.

He doesn't like it when I wear red lipstick, or really heavy black eyeliner, though.

He tells me I'm beautiful with or without makeup!

He does complain a bit if I kiss him with lip gloss on (especially sparkly ones!)
Hahaha!

I woudn't want sparkly lips if I were a guy, either.

He tries. I'll have to give him that.
He does try and compliment me on my makeup sometimes, cos he knows how obsessed I am.
He just gets a little confused between products I think.
It's cute though!

My husband actually got me in to MAC. He threw all my drugstore makeup away a few years back and took to MAC and got me everything I needed. He still continues to buy me all of my MAC. He even knows the names of almost all my eyeshadows. He will even go shopping a pick stuff out for me that he knows I don't have. He goes to events with me and loves the bright looks I do. It does have to match though or he will say something about that. I blame him for being such a MAC whore lol

My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy when he sees all my MAC. Just today he saw my Heatherette haul and said, "You're crazy, how much was everything?!" I lied and said around $100, but it was really more like $300-400. ahahaha...

I love when he compliments my makeup! I still remember when he told me he really liked my navy blue smokey eye look. I was soo happy that day!

He tends to make fun of me when I tell him about new collections that are coming out. For Fafi he said, "You know the Papi collection? I made that one. The colors are so, you know colorful and stuff like that." hahaha love him!

Mine does too, but in a different way. When I told him about Heatherette he was like, "didn't Fafi JUST come out??" And then the other day I told him about Naughty Nauticals... lol

My boyfriend tells me I am beautiful already, but it is ok to use a bit and I use it to good effect. However, my makeup collection should not exceed $250 in value at any one time (HA!) and I don't need any more. Furthermore, he hates it when I wear ANY kind of lip product. He hates the texture when he kisses me... so if I'm wearing lipstick or especially gloss, he'll cup his hand over my mouth and kiss his hand. That's kind of cute, actually...

haha, this thread makes me laugh

Here is a few situations:

BF: "Where are the nail clippers?"
Me: "Same place where they usually are, if you look harder, you'll find it!"
BF: "Help me, cuz all I see is makeup."

Me: "Do you like my eyeshadow color?"
BF: "What color is that?"
Me: "I used Ricepaper, Wedge, and Expresso"
BF: "You mean brown? Why can't they just call it brown?"
Me: *dirty look*

I get a good smile and a head shake when he sees my traincase. But he supports my obsessions and if we talk sports, we talk MAC. Nice way to know what sport, players, etc. he's into right now and what looks, colors, etc. I'm into.

So, i asked my hubby what is he thinking about my new makeup obsession. He said that it is better then diamonds. Hehe... So true
smiles.gif
But he likes me better without makeup or just a little bit of it. Hes learning too, now he admits that the mac lipglosses smell much better then the other ones.

My boyfriend is amazing when it comes to supporting my MAC habit. He knew I was so excited for Fafi and Heatherette, and he was like "doesn't your FooFoo collection come out this week?" LOL.
He and I like to look at makeup on TV and say what we do and do not like, and we usually agree! He knows I like bright colors and will encourage me to get whatever I want.
He is toooo cute...
