Yeah, I have a slightly androgynous appearance ("gaming") and I look good without makeup on and with short hair, which is kind of a flex.

The problem arises that "never wear makeup" and "cut all your hair off" are permanent decisions. You can't get up in the morning and do something different.

Short hair is always short.

Bare face is always bare.

If you can create a very similar effect without going "all the way", that leaves you the option to occasionally surprise him by looking completely different.

I can wear short hair all day and then take it down and have it suddenly cascading down my back.

Or you are usually bare-faced, but you come down the stairs before a party and look a bit younger and fresher.

You always want to save some room for the WHOA! 👀 effect.
