None. Let him see your natural face sometimes. Nothing bad about bare skin in front of boyfriend, even if your skin has flaws!

I think the bare essentials you can sleep in. I know it's not good, but I do it all the time.

Maybe instead of foundation use a translucent powder? It might be a mental thing, like you have to put some make up on your face to feel comfortable. Instead of lipstain maybe a tinted chapstick. :)

None would be the best answer and best for your skin BUT if you really have to, try a tinted moisturizer or bb cream :) Much better for your skin with a bit of that natural coverage and built in moisture :)

Girls, it kills me to see you so addicted to make up. It's not a necessity, it's a fun enhancer. But you need to be comfortable in your natural skin.

I'm sure your boyfriend would appreciate knowing you trust him enough to be your natural self when he spends the night.

Buuuuut if you have to, I would suggest tinted moisturizer :)

Zero. I can't imagine the skin would be really happy about makeup still on while sleeping... or the pillow sheets. ._.

None none none none!!! It will clog your pores and possibly break you out and is just not healthy for your skin. He probably won't care if you don't wear makeup to bed anyway. Guys don't care about all that muss and fuss.

And if he does care and doesn't like the way you look without it I'd say show him the door because that's not a good thing to not be okay with. He should think you look great either way.

You shouldn't sleep with it, your skin needs to breathe and it will most likely break you out

You have bigger issues to work out if you have to damage your skin to feel comfortable...not trying to be mean but this screams insecurity to me

Honestly none is best. I used to sleep with makeup on and it totally ruined my skin. I got blackheads from it. If you need to I would just use a tiny tinyyyyyyyy bit of concealer maybe on any blemishes but thats it. You need to slowly get yourself to stop. It feels sooo much nicer going to bed with a fresh face!!!

And if he says you look the same without makeup on then DONT WEAR IT! Lol you got nothin to worry about :)

Absolutely none. If sleep in your makeup you'll only makes worse problems other than insecurity. It can make you break out and you'll have even more to cover with makeup and at a certain point makeup can only cover so much. Nothing is more beautiful than pretty skin so do yours a favor and let it breathe. Your face will thank you.

Don't forget that mascara can damage your eyelashes if you wear it to sleep!

Chapstick. That's it. Everything else will end up harming your skin. 

None.

If you sleep in make up, your skin will get gross, you'll need more make up to cover it up, you'll sleep in more make up, your skin will get worse, you'll need even more make up to cover it up... It's a vicious cycle, so break it.

I get the reasoning. I used to sleep with makeup on also, especially when with my boyfriend. I have always had iffy skin with a small amount of breakouts. Now thanks to bad habits my skin is way worse and it feels like I am fighting s losing battle. I am trying really hard to correct my skin issues. Wearing makeup to bed is a big no-no. AND now that I have stopped my boyfriend commented he was glad I stopped "coming to bed with that crap on my face", so I know he loves me pimples and all. :)

*fighting a losing battle. oops. But bottom line, we can't tell you how to be comfortable in your skin. Just try to think of how it will affect your skin down the road.
