I've always figured that if other people could tell I had on a face-full of makeup I'd done something wrong! I was taught that makeup should enhance your natural features and not look like paint, so I'm not sure anyone could tell exactly how much makeup I was wearing. Sure, you can tell someone has on mascara or lip gloss, but unless it is a specific evening look I figure other people shouldn't be able to tell I'm wearing much more, even if I am.
Same here! Whenever I try to wear more makeup than that, I feel like a clown and like I look fake and have to take it off. I just can't do it.
