Is wearing make-up a 'betrayal'? One woman's dramatic transformation sparks online backlash
Daily Mail ^ | Friday, October 11, 2013 | Margot Peppers

A set of before and after photos that show the dramatic difference between a woman with and without make-up have sparked an internet debate about cosmetics.

Posted by make-up artist Melissa Murphy, the images, simply captioned: 'Make-up. That's it,' show a bare-faced woman with acne scars and shiny skin, and then her transformation after putting on make-up, with thicker eyebrows, flawless looking skin and a seemingly thinner face.

One person replied that a woman's personality counts more than her make-up routine, writing: 'You only feel "betrayed" because you put too much value on looks.'

In response to this accusation, plokoonismyfave pointed out the fact that a man who artificially altered his appearance would be seen in a negative light, too.

'If a guy wore prosthetic muscles under a long-sleeve shirt (à la Superman costumes), you would likely feel as if you had been deceived, regardless of what you thought of the person,' he wrote.

Disguise: One commenter pointed out: 'If a guy wore prosthetic muscles under a long-sleeve shirt, you would likely feel as if you had been deceived, regardless of what you thought of the person'

He then went on to accuse the woman in the photo of disguising her insecurities with cosmetics.

'The girl in the photo is apparently not satisfied with the way she looks without makeup,' he said, 'and uses makeup to artificially portray a person more people would find attractive.'

Others stayed out of the debate altogether, instead admiring the miraculous transformation made possible by the make-up artist, who also shares her work on Instagram.

'Holy crap! That's amazing,' wrote one fan of the make-over. 'I would've never been able to tell that those two pictures were the same person. If this is your work, you have an amazing talent!'

Fake muscles for a man? That would be stupid; however, a thicker wallet and an $80,000 car will add a lot of attraction.

my policy on makeup is the same as hair style - the woman has to ut it on, maintain it, and do all the work. all i have to do is look at it. if you want makeup, go for it. i wouldn’t try to convince woman to forego makeup any more than i would make her wear a mowhawk

Better make-up than plastic surgery!

Even an old barn looks a little better with some paint.

Let’s be honest. The assault on makeup is by women who don’t look good with or without it. The butch Napolitano type. These people have been driving the ‘feminist’ movement.

I doubt any of these people have heard of Chinese foot binding. Now, there is extreme cosmetics.

Not smiling in either picture makes them both not pretty to me.

To a guy, that's the best makeup. Nothing brighter or sweeter than a woman who smiles.

A Plain Jane with an honest smile and nice eyes is a lot more impressive than most of the "pretty" women these days.

One should really not be in bed with someone until they know them well enough to know what they really look like.
