There's a long documented history of it. If I can find the book title, I'll drop it to you - it's full of things from history that many people don't realize we had, which include some rather advanced medical procedures and the steam-operated mechanics of Ancient Greece.
2) I don't look different with make up off. I put the make up on to enhance what I have. Rather like the difference between putting on a skirt or wearing dirty jeans. Boyfriend's opinion pretty much matches that analogy. "Oh, you didn't wear make up today? You were probably cleaning and doing all sorts of grubby things. No biggy. I still think you're my smexy." "Oh, you wore make up today? You must have worn the clothes you prefer to wear. Lookin' good babe."
I think his opinion matches most men. I just don't understand the point of it other than society tells women that they should wear makeup. I don't think my girlfriend has ever worn make up.
