Have You Ever Dated Someone Who Expected You to Wear Your Makeup a Certain Way? - Makeup and Beauty Blog

I oasis't…at least if we're talking about makeup (hair is a different story, but we'll get to that in a second). The reason this is on my heed today is considering I recently read an article in which the writer's ex-young man's affinity for natural-looking/nude makeup, and his dislike for certain boom polish colors, adamant what she wore for years, and it was simply after she bankrupt upwards with him that she realized she could wear any she wanted.

I grind my teeth a lilliputian (OK, a lot) when I think about how I would have responded had I been in a similar state of affairs as a immature woman, because to a degree I'm a people pleaser, and I tin come across myself making those accommodations for someone I loved.

Every bit for my hair…I dated a dude my senior twelvemonth in college who was kind of an @sshole, but he was the blazon of guy parents loved because he totally sucked up to them and was really good on paper — smart, good grades, ambitious, on the track team, sights set on a political career — only deep down inside, he was non the nicest person.

Anyway, he had this weird decision-making streak that was sneaky and subtle, and it would come out whenever he'd try to manipulate me into looking a certain way. Similar, when I met him, my hair was super long (longer than it is now), and he kept making comments about how he liked short hair on girls. And so, he'd go into this story about how every time he'due south ever mentioned it to other girls he dated, they'd always eventually cut their hair…for him.

BARF! Thank goodness I never cutting my hair for that goof.

Another affair he did was subtly comment on how he disapproved of my apparel, and how my ripped jeans looked "sloppy" and my t-shirts were too casual and apathetic, blah, apathetic. (Weird, though, that he never picked on how I wore my makeup, right?.)

The relationship didn't last long, and yay for me! — I never saw or heard from him again after graduation. I imagine he's somewhere in the world with a woman who had long hair at one fourth dimension but now wears it short and secretly regrets cutting it…

Take y'all always dated someone who expected yous to wear your makeup a certain way? Or your hair? Or your dress?

Your friendly neighborhood dazzler addict,

Karen
