Women with or without make-up?

Definetely a fan of make-up!

Hahaha!! I agree. I don't wear a lot of makeup. But, when I don't wear any at all, I definitely feel like the bottom picture.

That's a professional makeup job and most women do NOT have befores and afters that extreme.

Not to mention that her hair is different and she's at a different angle with a different facial expression and it's with completely different lighting. With or without makeup, she'd look entirely different.

I would bet in the real world, with most women, you wouldn't even know if she had on makeup.

Sorry but I COMPLETELY disagree with this. My befores/afters ARE this extreme. More so. I'll create one later today to give you an idea. Also, if you don't know someone's wearing makeup, it's only because you're unfamiliar with makeup. I use makeup for myself personally and photoshop for work and I know, without a doubt, when someone's been airbrushed in one capacity or another.

I agree with McKay. If I were brave, I would post a pic of me without make-up and then me with make-up. There's a dramatic difference.

If you can point out to me where I said "all" then you are free to disagree with me. There are certainly exceptions to every rule.

But there is still the matter of those side-by-side photos being lit differently, being professionally done, being from a different angle and her hair is totally different. It's not an accurate before/after comparison.

I don't care if you put her at the same angle and lighting, they look quite different. The hair is actually quite similar. Just mabye combed in the after pic.

If I saw her in the made up version in real life, I'd know she had makeup on.

The eye makeup, yes. The rest? If you can tell, she did it wrong.

And airbrushed? Who's airbrushed while sitting in front of you? (That's to another post.) I'm talking real life people sitting in front of me every day, not models in magazines.

The pics I got that from showed everyday girl's before and after pics.

I love make-up and I don't leave my house without foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Typically that's all I wear on a day to day basis but it makes me feel better. I don't wear it for my husband, I wear it for me. I know he loves my "freshface" as he calls it when I don't have any make-up on but I love my make-up. I have TONS of it. The only thing I don't wear is blush. Actually, I'm so addicted to make-up I started selling to support my own habit. I love to play with various eyeshadow colors too. I've got every color of the rainbow but know how to use them and BLEND so that they look good and I can get away with wearing them to work.

I LOVE MAKEUP!!!! And I don't care if people know or can tell I'm wearing it or not .. I'm not doing it for anyone but me. I just loves me some fun face paint!

And so you know, regular women in regular (office) lighting can have drastic before and afters (you may have to C&P in a browser to see the whole pic):

I think she looks so much better without makeup!

I don't wear makeup. I am 31 1/2 and have only worn makeup one time in my life...my wedding day. And that was only because I was told that if I didn't put a little blush on I would look like a ghost in my wedding pictures. I HATED every second of it. Makeup is not for me and I think most women look better without any.

OOhhh...no makeup? I only torture my husband like that when we're not going to leave the house. I need makeup

I dont even torture hubby with that. Make up always! (when done right)
