In some ways, I lean in agreement with you here. If someone's appearance is sooooo drastically different with makeup from going without makeup, and that is the only way she presents herself to men...then, in some ways, men may assume this is her true look with subtle enhancement from makeup. The before and after pics of the OP are so drastically different, that it honestly looks like a different woman, and most people wouldn't think that without makeup, the person would appear entirely different. So, in that sense, if you are wearing makeup...going through such great lengths to disguise yourself and dupe people...then, that actually reveals more about your own character, than the person who isn't interested in you anymore, once they see the 'real you.' Just another way to view it, I suppose.
As an aside, I don't wear much makeup. Never wear 'foundation.' There have been times for parties and such, I might wear more, but most of the time, people see me without much makeup or none at all. Not that there is anything wrong with wearing a lot of makeup if a woman chooses to...but, it's just not something I personally wear a lot of.
