My boyfriend (20m) made me feel bad about purchasing something I was excited for and now wants me to act "sweet"

20f here, we've been dating for 2 years and living together for over a year. we were bffs for two years before we started dating. tl;dr at bottom of post.

I just restocked on make up. All of mine was over 2 years old and since it's getting warmer, I wanted to buy fresh make up since I primarily wear make up in the summer. It was all drug store stuff from Ulta. I spent 100$ and got one of those 80$ free make up bags full of stuff. 100$ in drug store make up can go a looonnng way. I was actually proud at how much I got for the price. The box came in and it felt like Christmas. I was so excited looking at everything and my boyfriend starts to go off about how I waste money and that it's useless. That if I needed to survive, none of this was required and that I just blow through my money. I explain to him that my make up is really old and it's time to get new stuff. He then said that he thinks I don't look attractive with make up and that I just cake it on. That comment really hurt my feelings. To add, I only put make up on my eyes, lips, and I'll use blush and highlight sometimes. so I'm confused on why he said I cake it on. Since that comment hurt my feelings I just got quiet so I wouldn't start crying (I tear up at literally anything) and kept going though my box. He got mad because I wasn't talking and I looked upset so he went to take a shower. I started crying while he was in there because I felt like shit. I felt stupid buying make up and I wanted to return it all. It also really hurt my feelings when he said I don't look good and I "cake" it on. I'm conventionally attractive and I've been doing make up for 7 years, I'm good at it. On top of that I obviously want my boyfriend to find me attractive, so it hurt my feelings that he dislikes something I really enjoy.

He came out of the shower and is now acting "normal" and saying I haven't been sweet to him all day and wanted to know why like......dude are we just going to ignore the conversation we had before you got in? I'm not being sweet because you aren't being sweet either. I didn't say that. I'm just acting like I'm over it because I don't want to start anything because I "always ruin his good days".

What should I do when I love make up but my boyfriend prefers natural? Should I bring up that what he said hurt or just let it go for the sake of not arguing? He's obviously not sorry for it so I don't see the point in trying to bring it back up.

to add, I have plenty of money. Money isn't even an issue for me. I have over triple the amount he does in his bank so I don't get why he's onto me about wasting my money. I don't want to use old make up. I can afford to buy more, so I did. I really don't understand what went wrong here.

tl;dr : boyfriend is mad that I bought make up. Tells me I'm not attractive with it on. After he made these remarks, he wants me to act sweet towards him. I enjoy make up but he made me feel like I needed to return it. What should I do if I like make up and my boyfriend doesn't? Should I bring it up to him that this really upset me or just let it go?
