Eighty per cent of women wait at least a month before letting their new boyfriend see them make-up free, a survey found. And it seems that women will go to extreme lengths to impress with more than a third of women deliberately getting up before their new boyfriend to secretly apply make-up before he wakes up because they do not dare to go bare in the first flushes of love. A further 60 percent of women use a simple trick and don't even take their make-up off when they sleep with a new beau. The latest findings prove how women are extremely reluctant to let a new man see them without make-up until they have really got to know them. Almost one in five (17 per cent) wait as long as two months, 16 per cent wait three to six months, 8 per cent keep up the flawless face facade for a whole year and 3 per cent never, ever let their man see them without their slap. The survey also revealed that 20 per cent of women sneak off to touch up their make-up on the first night they had slept with a new lover. Almost one in five said they had used the same trick in the first six months of a new relationship. The figures point to the increasing pressure on women to look flawless and “perfect” at all times. Over three-quarters of women feel that society expects women to wear make-up and 68 per cent of women feel ‘naked’ without their slap. Just 27 per cent would be happy to go to work without make-up and almost a third of women insist upon wearing make-up to the gym.
