My (26F) boyfriend (31M) said I look good when I don’t wear makeup but the majority of his exes are very heavily made up. How do I bring this up?

My boyfriend and I were getting ready for a night out and he said I look really good without makeup. He had said this before and I didn’t think much of it. But it did get me thinking that the majority of his exes and his ex girlfriends are very heavily made up. Some have tattoos, some have blonde hair, some have a certain body type. I am none of these things (I do have long hair but it’s not blonde and I don’t have tattoos and don’t have that certain body type or anything like that). My hair is naturally red and I am naturally pretty pale because I spend most of my time inside. I don’t need to worry about my skin breaking out when I go outside unlike a lot of people, because I don’t really go outside that much. <br><br>But I kind of feel bad because I don’t look like his exes and he told me that I look good with minimal makeup. I don’t know if he says that because he knows I don’t like wearing a lot of makeup and so he tells me that. Or if I actually really do look good and he’s not just saying that. I’m not sure because I feel like if I looked good then he would’ve been with more people that look like me but he’s not and he’s been with lots of people that don’t look like me and are really heavily made up. <br><br>Some of his exes have a totally different body type than me. I’m pretty in shape I work out four times a week but I don’t have a double D size boob chest. I am an A cup and I do have curves but I am not a dumb blonde either with a baby face, I have a lot of freckles and I have dark red hair. I don’t fit that baby face dumb blonde stereotype and I’m not skinny nor do I have that hourglass figure. So I don’t know if he truly thinks I look good without makeup or if all of that was just a line he said to me because he knows I don’t like wearing a lot of makeup. I’m not sure if I should bring this up with him or not. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
