Today, my boyfriend told me I'm beautiful. Before I could thank him, he continued, "Too bad it takes a shit-load of makeup." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me if I wear makeup much. Expecting him to say something about my natural beauty, I replied with an honest, "No." His smiled softly, gently squeezed my shoulder, and said, "Maybe you should." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I can stop using makeup, because it's "not working." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I looked nice in my profile picture. I began to reply, "Aww, thank you!" until he sent another message saying, "Mostly because your face isn't in it." FML
Today, while hanging out with my boyfriend, I started getting ready for bed. As I grabbed my face wipes, he said, “Wait, don't take off your makeup because then you'll be ugly.“ FML
Today, my boyfriend gushed for several minutes about how amazing it is that I suddenly look hot when he takes his glasses off. FML
Today, after asking my boyfriend multiple times to be more kind and romantic, he looked at me lovingly and said, "You know, you look pretty sometimes." FML
Today, a guy was telling me how his girlfriend considers me a "perfect beauty." Not used to getting this sort of compliment every day, I felt extremely flattered… until he started explaining in great detail why he couldn't disagree with her more. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he loved me. I asked why, and he said, "Because sometimes you look good, and you buy me stuff." FML
Today, I met some guys from my dad's workplace. They told him what a pretty daughter he had, to which he responded, "Nah, it's just shit-loads of makeup." FML

Whoa! You don't have to put up with an arsehole like that. Next time look at his crotch. And squint.

TYes #19, best comment. That's definitely what you should say. I know for a fact I'm probably only half as pretty w/o my makeup and honestly I've never met a girl who didn't look better with their makeup, but my bf thinks I'm pretty without it or he wouldn't be with me. You should ditch that guy.

That's really sad, the way your phrased that. I understand attraction is important, but if the only reason a guy is with you is because of your looks... then you really need to rethink your relationship.

She's just saying her bf thinks she's pretty without makeup. Not that her being pretty is the only reason he's with her. Now to be honest, there are lots of shallow guys out there who are only in it for the eye candy and lots of desperate girls who let them get away with crap like that.

Your boyfriend is a dick! He should accept your natural beauty OP.

Ever considered your bf is simply just telling the truth?? So your ugly, not all is lost. You can make up for it in other areas!

A shitload of makeup is just false advertisement.

It sounds like he doesn't know how compliments work

Well, you know....looks actually do matter. I'm not, at all, saying that OPs boyfriend was right. He's a dick for being so insensitive, but maybe OPs "natural beauty" isn't so....beautiful. She should've slapped him in the face for the insult though. Don't bend to the harshness of his insults, OP. Instead, find a nice balance, a tasteful application of cosmetics that compliments your look. :D

To which your answer is, "Would you like to borrow some? I don't think I have enough for a miracle, but you could give it a shot."
