Feel comfortable with no makeup in front of my bf, but not others?

Is it normal that I feel comfortable wearing no makeup in front of my boyfriend but not in front of others? Like my boyfriend tells me he prefers me natural, so I feel a lot more confident when I wear no makeup around him, but in front of others, when I'm not with my boyfriend, I feel really unconfident and think people stare at how I'm ugly?! Its as if my boyfriend is my confidence, but when I'm not with him, makeup is my confidence....my boyfriend thinks that me putting on makeup for other people means I'm putting in more effort to look good for them, but actually it's not! If he thinks I look better without, why would he care if I wore it out and about when I wasn't with him? If I went town with him, I wouldn't wear makeup, because I'm with him! Is that normal for me to feel like this? P.s. I prefer myself with makeup, but I'd rather wear none because it's a lot easier and my bf likes it! If I felt confident without makeup, and wasn't with him, then I obvo wouldn't wear it!

    Girls look so much better without makeup. I finally convinced my girlfriemd not to wear it and feel comfortable with her real beauty.
    Your normal. Just feel comfy with yourself.

        Im sorry but I don't agree. Make-up, a nice outfit and all these things do improve the attractiveness of a woman. Also, I could understand that if you are used to going out in public all groomed and neat it just becomes part of who you are and will add to your confidence.

        In that respect I think it's perfectly nice and a sign of a good relationship when you feel comfortable being your 'natural' self in front of your boyfriend.

        Also, I find it cute and a very good sign when it comes to being in a relationship that you feel comfortable enough around him that you don't mind not having make-up on. And by the way, when a guy loves a girl he really doesn't matter if you go around in your sweatpants, bed-hair and without make-up around the house!

    Awesome. T-shirt and no make-up wouldn't bother me a bit. Nothing wrong with wanting to look a little better for the world to see either, but I personally think daily make-up is kind of silly...

    Ya its normal. Cause you're comfortable with him and know he likes you as you are.
    The reason he'd be getting insecure about you wearing make-up when going out is because it makes it seem like you're putting an effort into your looks only when he's not around. It's just a minor insecurity. Just tell him it's for confidence and it should all be ok!

    I don't like any makeup on a girl.
    But I fully understand that girls want to wear makeup because
    1. Its a girly thing to do anyway
    2. Most girls check out other girls, makeup is important here
    3. If you have certain blemishes or spots you'd rather cover in public (ie foundation etc)
    4. It can enhance your eyes and features more.

    Generally B/fs don't care for makeup on their girl though.
