Yeah.
That's kind of the point of makeup.

The pic does not matter. The fact that you care about the pic is what matters.

That's the point of makeup. Especially true of makeup and photographs. It's amazing how different I can look with just a little mascara and eyeliner in photos versus without, even if it doesn't look like I'm wearing makeup at all.

But real talk: the problem with online "relationships" is that you fall for the idea of someone, not the person themselves. That's abundantly clear by your response here.

Where/how did you find the picture of her without makeup?

If you're going to do a long-distance relationship with someone you met on the internet, you'd better be prepared for lots of deception, mistrust, and above all else, drama.

She’s not your girlfriend. Sounds like you haven’t even done a video chat.

Since you do not want to travel to meet her, that tells me the 2 of you have not been out on a date.

So how can you call her your girlfriend if you have not been on a date with her?

Find someone who lives locally, that you can see on a regular basis in person.

Why are you even wasting each other's time? You are likely NEVER going to meet her in person, so why even get hung up on her picture?

You do not have a girlfriend. What you have is a pen pal.

Lift up your eyes from the computer screen and talk to the actual people all around you.
