Ok, but what if the guy respects the women and her decisions. What if he has seen her without makeup, and thinks that she is beautiful either way. How would one tell a woman that, without it being oppressive? I genuinely want to know, as I don’t see that as being evil. Please tell me if I’m wrong on that.
The following answers are for talking to your partner. Adjust for friend/date/acquaintance.
You just tell her she’s gorgeous. No need to make a comparison.
If she asks if she looks better with or without, tell her that you know when she has makeup on, it means she put in effort, and effort is sexy (that is true, and it doesn’t contradict your opinion, and it’s a compliment).
Also, you can’t go wrong with picking whichever aspect of the makeup looks best and telling her she nailed it.
