Take the pictures again, but smile without makeup and frown with it.

It seems like every pair of pictures needs to be done so there are other reasons to dislike the woman without makeup. Expression, lighting, her hair's a mess--never a fair comparison. Can it be because people are afraid the whole concept is bogus?

Oh, of course no woman would smile without her makeup on, because she'd be feeling so humiliated. Right.

Look past the expression. That's why I said, look at the sallowness of the skin tone, the lack of eyelashes which define the eyes, the lack of color in the lips. Sorry - I don't have identical photos, one of me smiling with no makeup, and one of me smiling with makeup, in the same lighting.

I do, however, have this photo of me smiling, with no makeup:



Hope that helps.

Well, that proves it - I'm not insecure - with or without makeup on.

I agree with you 100%

and even with that silly frown and messy hair I don't see think she looks THAT different I actually think she looks better without makeup.

I live in one of the most superficial cities in the USA and I am not afraid to go out without makeup. I actually feel better without makeup because I don't have to worry about the makeup wearing off and looking like a novice clown

Good lord! I can save so much time and money knowing this!

Not. I prefer to look a bit more polished and well groomed. But hey, that's just me!

By the way, my goal with my light makeup regimen is NOT to "look THAT different" than I do without makeup. I just want to even out my skin tone, give my skin a little glow and moisture, and give a little definition to my eyes and lips. I don't want to look like a different person - I just want to look a bit more "put together."

Different bites for different likes I guess. Heck, I don't even go to WalMart at 2 am without putting on a dash of lipgloss on my lips and a smattering of powder across my nose and forehead.

Men say they like natural online,but real life is a different story.

What about us poor gals who aren't naturally beautiful?
What are we supposed to do,rot away while everyone else passes us by?
It might be your attitude, not your makeup.

It's a really good Italian mud masque by Borghese. It makes your skin feel FANTASTIC and so nourished and well hydrated afterwards! But it's pretty messy and scary for the first thirty minutes.
