    I'd say on a day to day basis, I do not look much different - just less rough. But I do not contour and change my face shape - it's more my eyes I like to play with and I find if I wear purple, bronze or brown make up my eyes really pop.

    However, I am prone to bad skin - and I am extremely good at covering that **** up! This weekend I have an underskin spot on my chin thats very red, it's so big my boyfriend has named it mars :/. Anyway, we had to go to a family BBQ (first time meeting his family with mars on my chin, GREAT!) but with a few tricks of light and to be honest ALOT of concealer, foundation and powder it was pretty much invisible unless you came right up close and saw the lump

    You can do anything with makeup, if you have the time, energy and money. I do not know how women spend hours in front of the mirror doing massive eyeliner and makeup effects every day to get the look they want mainly because I could never be arsed and also I wouldn't want someone to come home with my looking amazing and wake up next to a monster in the morning. lol

    I don't think I look different, just a bit of eye liner, mascara to bring out my eyes more, and a bit of powder to take away shine. I only wear makeup when i'm seeing friends or going out for the day.

    But if i'm going out at night, I probably look quite different because I put quite a lot of eye makeup on
    Interesting :beard:

    I look quite different. I have light eyelashes so look dead without mascara on. My skin is pretty crappy at the moment as well so without foundation and concealer it looks a bit rubbish.

    I don't look that different, I don't really wear that much make up. I put mascara on sometimes when I'm going out with friends and maybe a bit of powder but nothing major

    it takes a lot of make up to master the "no make-up" look!

    I look really different. My passport picture is of me when I used to wear loads of make-up and last time I went on holiday I came back with no make-up on and my passport was declined at first because they didn't think it was me. Luckily I have other photo ID with pictures that actually do look like me (drivers licence, student ID and railcard) which I can use to back-up my passport when I need it.

    I don't wear make-up a lot, when I do the whole face it's when I have to look 'serious', otherwise people think I'm 15 if I don't wear any, and I'm 20.
    Daily I usually put some concealer, a bit of lipstick and mascara. Since I'm allergic to a lot of make up, I have to buy expensive ones, which still makes me want to scratch my eyes, but less.

    I guess I look quite different without it. When I was in college last year I went in one day not wearing any and the remarks of "You look so different" were everywhere. I don't mind, though. I wear make-up because I like it. It's a hobby of mine and I do dramatic stuff like you'll see on YouTube etc. It doesn't take me much time though - maybe 20mins in the morning, so I don't spend hours "caking" it on and I don't do it for confidence. I like that you can change your appearance with make-up, it's creative and fun.
