So I have a question for you ladies. I have an amazing husband who likes me just as I am. I recently went through a two year period where I did not do anything beauty related at all. I did not style/cut my hair, I did not wear makeup, I did not dress up, I did not do my eyebrows, and half the time I didn't even shave. I just couldn't be bothered.
My husband loved it. He told me I was beautiful all of the time, everyday, multiple times a day. He's just a man who really prefers me being natural. About a year ago I decided that a 1950's look is what I wanted, so I've slowly been taking steps to achieve it.
The problem is that I've noticed that when I do wear something 1950's inspired (like winged eyeliner, red lipstick, or a bullet bra) the compliments stop. I can tell by the comments he makes about certain things that he's really not into the whole made-up look. I asked him if he could dress me for a day what would I look like, and he replied, "Natural hair, natural nails, mascara, and maybe some blush (I taught him about the various uses of makeup ).. and a dress and sandals."
He thinks heels are pointless because they make women walk funny and are bad for them. He thinks vintage lingerie is 'grandma looking' and he doesn't comment too favorably on women who like to wear full faces of makeup.
I know most women would say to look however I want to, but I want to look in a way that he finds attractive. Are any other women here going through this and do you have any suggestions on how to combine his love of natural beauty and my love for 1950's glamour??
