Boyfriend-proof makeup
So your boy’s a bit of a cuddler, huh? He likes a big smooch at the beginning of the night, when your pink pout is at its most luscious? We bet he can’t resist canoodling into your cheek and taking off all of your meticulously applied make-up while he’s at it too!
Sometimes, we find ourselves choosing to hold off on affection purely for this reason – how silly is that? What you need is a kit of boyfriend-proof make-up, so that even when he’s feeling affectionate, you won’t have to worry about the consequences to your face!
Kisses
Thankfully, a lot of men steer clear of kisses when you choose to sport a fire engine red lip, as they don’t want to wear the hue themselves. The things is, others don’t mind so much, which means that as much as you may want to share a kiss or 10 with your beau, your lips are often left looking anything but luscious.
Get smart and arm yourself with a few long-wear lip loves that will withstand your boy’s public displays of affection, and stay perfectly put on your face, not his! For a night when you want your pout to take precedence over your outfit, why not opt for MAC Pro Long Wear Lipcreme in Good to Go (a loudmouth orange) – it lasts for hours! Otherwise, essence Stay With Me Longlasting Lipgloss is perfect when you’re after a glossy hint of colour that won’t kiss off when he kisses you.
Cuddles
Ever indulged in a few cuddles with your boy, only to discover that all of your perfectly applied foundation and blush have disappeared from your face (and if he’s unlucky, ended up on his clothes!), leaving you looking more messy than marvellous. It’s time to invest in some make-up with serious staying power, stuff that makes your skin look flawless for hours, even when canoodling attempts to leave your complexion barer than bare.
We love Maybelline New York Super Stay 24hr Makeup for its micro-flex technology that stretches and moves with your face instead of wearing off or pulling a total disappearing act. For rosy cheeks of your own doing, opt for Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush, which promises to cling to your cheeks even when his kisses threaten to remove it completely.
Sleepover
So you’ve ended up back at his place, which means you have two choices here: either you can take off your make-up and dare to go barefaced, or go straight to bed if you’re not up to a full face cleanse. Keep in mind, if you go with the latter, you risk some seriously messy mascara residue in the next morning, not to mention a breakout or two from your foundation.
It’s time to get smart. When you know you might be staying at your beau’s house, opt for long-wearing mineral make-up so that your skin can at least breath if you happen to dodge an end-of-evening face cleanse. While we’d never actively encourage you to leave your make-up on overnight, Inika Mineral Foundation is a no brainer for those ‘special circumstance’ sleepovers, as it’s a concealer, foundation and powder in one, plus it contains pure ingredients that won’t clog your pores or leave a beige mark on his pillow! Just as bad as foundation smudges on his pillow are hard-to-budge mascara remnants, which is why you should opt for a long wearing mascara that won’t flake off. Mirenesse Secret Weapon 24HR Mascara targets each individual lash by adhering unique tubes of colour to lashes, ensuring no flaking and a voluminous flutter to boot!

I don't know how I am going to say this testimony or even start. My name is Emelia Yales from USA. Last week, i was online looking for ways to get pregnant naturally and i stormed over a testimony written by Jennifer online about this great spell caster who was able to bring her ex husband back to her and I said to myself, "was this the right spell caster to contact if i want to get pregnant"? All the same I contacted him. He is Doctor Odunga, I am very happy to be one of his clients that has been helped by him. I am confirmed pregnant with fertilized eggs in my womb. The doctors confirmed me pregnant and that is why i come online to write about this. Contact Doctor Odunga today at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com for he is the best caster and his time duration is accurate.

If he cares about you it wouldn't matter to him if you wear make up or not. I've lived with my boyfriend now for almost 3 years and he loves when I have no make up on! I've gone from wearing make up every day to only wearing it 3 times a week max, and when I do wear make up I wear significantly less (which my skin loves) all because of him. He still says I look pretty when I get all dressed up with make up but he calls me beautiful and gorgeous when I have no make up on and he can see all my freckles (one of his favourite things about me). Don't be scared to have your bare face on display!

Great to read that the MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme is genuinely long-lasting. Not all products live up to their name.

Good tips. I love gel liner and tubing mascara for longevity.

If i have my full coverage make up on - no access allowed ;)
However I like try to enchance my natural look so not so much make up is required for 'boyfriend time' e.g. lash perms, bb cream set with translucent powder and lip balm :)

When I go on dates with my boyfriend I don't wear too much makeup as he always says "you don't need to impress me with makeup" but he does usually have to wash his shirts the day after because some of my foundation got left over on his shoulder :P

Wash your face - if he doesn't love you without makeup, he isn't good enough for you.

I just take my makeup off at night, i don't care. I rather take it of then have foundation rub over sheets, or leave make-up stains on the pillows. Besides, my boyfriend doesn't like it when i wear it anyway.

My man wont come anywhere near me when I have just applied lippy, even though I tell him it is the kind that doesnt rub off. I use Maybelline 24 hour lippy.

I wear what every I want regardless of what my husband says - and well so far he has not complained...And while he says he doesnt mind when I go without makeup on the weekends, he also loves when Im made up to go out.
