That just means he likes you to be natural, take it as a compliment because he truly thinks your beautiful.

Or he is controlling......

Uh definitely controlling and a sign of an unhealthy relationship. I just finished a class on this kind of behavior and relationships. Does he not let you wear make up or just prefers you look natural? Because if he doesn't LET you, then he is trying to attract other guys away from you which is a red flag to a potentially abusive relationship in the future..

Too controlling, thats not good. How long have you been dating??? Is he overly jealous and tries to keep you from friends(mostly guy friends?) this could all change from emotionally abusive behavior to physically abusive behavior

And yes, being overly controlling IS emotionally abusive behavior, and will progressively change into more and more types of abuse

I agree with Hayley & Vanessa. Is it that he won't LET you, or that he just doesn't PREFER you wearing makeup? You're very pretty btw.

lol Not letting you wear makeup if you want to wear it is NOT a compliment. That is trying to control you and demand the way you look. If he said he preferred you without makeup, but knows to let you do you, that's different. But that's not that case, from what you're saying. Like Vanessa said, that's the beginning stages of some emotionally abusive behaviour.

A boy does not get to tell you what to do with your body. This guy is not your father or your mother (and even then, you look old enough to not have mommy and daddy demand what goes on your face or not lol). The guy I'm talking to has told me he likes me just as much~ without makeup but he has no problem with me wearing it because he is NOT me and that's the way it should be in a RELATIONSHIP.

whether he likes u wearing makeup or not should not prevent u to do so. As Rikki mention, he is trying to control u. From my experience my ex bf didnt like me wearing makeup, but u know what I could careless of what he said. I didnt live to please him. Girl, ur still young dont make a guy control u want u do. U deserve to look good, hes not ur husband.

And even if this person was her husband, husband wouldn't get to control her face either. ;) Hahaha. But yes, I'm with you on everything else, Isabella.

That's controlling and although my response to this post is late, I hope you're not in that relationship with him. If you are, I hope everything is well.

My boyfriend prefers me with no makeup but has never once said I can't do anything....except cool pancakes.
