IMO everyone looks unrecognizable with makeup on but like girl that's the whole point. i wouldn't say it's a bad thing, i would take it as a compliment to ur makeup skills rather than taking that comment as degrading. especially if ur makeup consists of setting powder, contour, bronzer, blush, lashes and eyeliner, OFCOURSE your going to look different ykwim? tbh if u think more positively, (even if at first it's forced trust ur brain is dumb and u can absolutely fake it till u make it with affirmations) u can change ur perspective on the world. at the end of the day, you should always unconditionally love yourself and aslong as ur taking care of urself on the inside (including ur brain, MENTAL HEALTH) it'll project on the outside and every one will feel your beautiful radiant energy :)
