My boyfriend (27m) smashed my foundation to prove that ‘I (20f) am beautiful without it’. What should I do?
My boyfriend has always made comments about how I don’t need makeup, and how don’t need to cover up my face. I’ve always taken it as a compliment, but I still wear makeup every day.
Yesterday, while I was prepping my face to apply makeup, my boyfriend suddenly came up behind me and threw my foundation bottle onto the floor.
It smashed everywhere, including on me and I screamed. Mostly because I was so shocked and confused.
My boyfriend seemed a bit regretful, and told me he had done it to show me how I don’t need makeup at all. I didn’t know what to say. I was literally stunned and even a bit scared. I left the room without saying anything.
I really don’t know how to feel. Obviously it was a bad idea for him to do it. It was dior foundation so it cost a lot. But I really can’t decide whether it came from a good place. Was it a misguided attempt to show me he loved me? Or was he just backtracking after making a mistake?
I’m really not sure how I should feel. I’m not sure if I’m overacting. It’s not like he threw it at my head or something. But it does feel off.
What should I do from here?

- Actions like that do not come from a good place. He thinks you shouldn’t wear makeup, so he fixed it where you couldn’t for that day. I’d hate to see what he would do if you bought another bottle or if you insist that he buy you another bottle. I don’t think he is someone you should trust. Cut him loose and walk away.
- My foundation is like $65 i would be SO. INCREDIBLY. PISSED. Between your age and his im concerned. Biiiiiig controlling red flag.
- Tell him to buy a new one to replace the one he smashed.
