If you're a diehard beauty junkie, you know that it's not easy to find the perfect significant other. Some guys will find your passion vain, vacuous, or even promiscuous — so you have to go through a pretty long trial period before you commit. Dudes who place a ban on red lipstick are kicked to the curb. So are those who insist that girls who wear natural makeup, like Kim Kardashian, are prettier. (I mean . . . what? Who has time to explain that?)
Once you discover a man who respects your obsession, you hold on tight. That doesn't mean he doesn't struggle with your relationship . . . with beauty, that is. Read on and get to know your honey (and yourself!) a little better, and prepare to laugh.

Even the slightest change in your appearance is worthy of a compliment.
He's not always sure what it is, but noticing the difference seems to make you happy. (Hey, if he can't see the results of your deep conditioning mask, who will?)

The bathroom is a sacred, PRIVATE space.

He won't run to the drugstore to restock an item without explicit instructions.

He'll never ask if you're tired or sick.
Unless you say you couldn't sleep last night or you are surrounded by a miniature mountain of tissues, that is.

He loves you no matter what you look like.
Sometimes, you can't believe it . . . or how lucky you are.
