We all know that beauty standards can be a real pain, especially for women. Well, one wife (28f) decided to teach her husband (30m) a lesson he won’t forget! She used to dress up and wear heavy makeup all the time, but during the pandemic, she realized she didn’t have to. Her husband, however, wasn’t too happy about her new laid-back style. So, she challenged him to experience her makeup routine for himself. Let’s see how that turned out!
