Also, makeup is a huge liar. A lot of women look totally different with decent makeup.
I don't know much about makeup but my wife told me that the more you put makeup on your skin, the more it ruins your facial skin. The chemical closes the pores and your skin cannot breathe and it starts to visibly look bad. My wife stopped daily makeup about 15 years ago and looks good with and without makeup. She puts on light makeup only when we go out for some event. Her sister is a bit more out there and likes to post pictures on facebook so is always had full makeup on when she goes to work and at events. When I visit them, and when she takes off her makeup at home, she looks different and facial skin seems damaged. Now to cover up the damage, she has to wear more makeup and the cycle perpetuates.
There are some movie women who looks average without makeup. You feel that so many women you see around you in daily life are better looking than them. Then they put on makeup, and look positively hot. The transformation in some women is night and day, in others it is not so much. Weird.
