I have a great girlfriend that is gorgeous. She does not need make-up but she cakes it on to the point where its no longer attractive to me. On the weekends when we hang out I have tried just to request no lipstick and she wears it anyway.
1. Why does she "need" to wear it?
2. Any suggestions on what I can do to encourage her not to wear it?
I think she is beautiful without the make-up and there is no comparison to kissing her with the lip stick on and without it.

every girl puts a little make up on. But when it comes to a point where you're being turned off by it, by all means..get your point across. One of the guys had a really great comment about the make up on the clothes..I think you should be able to be honest with her..if she loves you and is confident in her looks, she will take that as a major compliment and tone it down..Good luck

That's a tough one because wearing a lot of make up is usually the result of one's culture -- her close friends do it, her mother does it, her sisters do it. If she honestly thinks she looks better that way, it might be tough to get her to go "bare."
You need to talk with her about it, but be careful how you bring it up. Make sure she's in a very good mood and you two are getting along very well when you do bring it up. Tell her that you've seen her with it and without it and you think the make-up completely masks her true beauty. I also think the idea someone else mentioned about her getting a makeover with a more natural line of makeup might help... however, you taking her there might seem insulting to her. If you are close to one of her close friends, maybe you could trust her to help you convince her. Good luck -- you sound like a great guy.

u have to tell her exactly what you just wrote.
"You do not need make-up cuz you cake it on to the point where its no longer attractive to me. I think you are beautiful without the make-up and there is no comparison to kissing you with the lip stick on and without it. "
Believe me, weather you guys are close or not, the best thing you could do in a relationship is always be honest.

If your girlfriend has good skin, all she needs is a sheer makeup base, some blush, a little eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss. Try to get used to lipstick because all women love it. You need to compromise, so get used to it, but encourage her to not wear alot of makeup, but lipstick? I love it and wear it all the time. For a young girl, I love lipgloss.

First off a great trick for those girls who cake on the make-up is to take them swimming or in the hottub, then after either the makeup has worn off, or she doesnt put as much on to begin with you can tell her that she is beautiful and to look into the mirror. encourage her to be herself and not to hide underneath al of this makeup....and if this doesnt work, you could tell her that if she doesnt wear makeup you will do whatever she wants you to do for the day...
to answer your questions-
1.) She probably wears it to hide underneath something, sometimes girls think that they need to wear alot of makeup to stand out or just plainly because there not happy with thereselves.
2.) refer to what i said to begin with, either the water one or the prize suggestion.
just keep encouraging her shes beautiful, and sooner or later she will understand and she will quit wearing as much!!

us girls need to feel as if we are beautiful and many of us think that make up will do that. my sister does the same hting and she does need it either but girls are very sefl conscious about all parts of our body and make up is a way to make us feel better.
perhaps you should tell her that you like her better iwhtout makeup and that you think she is gorgeous even if she doesn't try to make herself look beautiful. Say things that have meaning and that you think she might take into consideration but don't tell her straight out that the makeup doesn't make her naymore beautiful than she is because it will cause a fight and she doesn't want to be angry with oyu.

Tell her shes beautiful regardless. Makeup or not. Tell her how you feel. I think personally my bf says the same things to me but its just a girl thing the "need" to wear make-up. I've toned down my look for my bf and maybe she will for you also!Good Luck!

Have you let her know how gorgeous she looks when she's not wearing make up...?... If not i think you should try that , let her knows that she's beautiful and tell her to wear just a little bit.And always tell her that you love her that's gonna help you too .!!!

1. she might be addicted to make up.. she probably wore it alot before you went out with her.
2. you can ask her, how come she wont show her natural face and then if she tells you why, the line that every lady *i think* would love, "you look very beautiful to me no matter what.Your like a rose, beautiful and *something describing her personailty* " she probably will stop. =)

She might be very conscious of her looks and she got so much into habit of applying makeup that she just can't imagine herself without it.
Tell her she'll get wrinkled skin pretty soon if she doesn't stop using that much makeup:).Tell her that she is more beautiful when she is without that, tell this with proper expressions on ur face,n if she truly loves u , trust me next time u'll see her she'll be without makeup
