A Picture Thread: Before & After Make-up, Or Other Things

Did I mention yet that everybody looks great after, and almost everybody looks great before, too? And Reply, your self-transformation is incredibly admirable - kudos to you! And also, I can’t see much difference in the before-and-after make-up for anyone (well, unless it is deliberately out-of-the-ordinary, like some of Opal’s creations).

And now I am at the stage in this thread where I realize that I can’t be polite in both ways I want to be: first, I’d like to acknowledge all who take the time to post, and second, I’d like to be reasonable and not bump this thread to the top over and over. But I can’t do both. So this is it, folks – anyone who posts after this, consider yourself acknowledged. I’m not gonna thread-bump after this.

And I am leaving you with a picture of me being asked to think about my tomato plants, which were a gardening disaster, while wearing glasses. That should dispel any notion that I started this thread to fish for compliments.:smiley:

I change my hair a lot, and am rarely seen without make-up, as I think I look ill without it.

With make-up, with long straight dark hair

As I am now, with make up and short, dark hair (taken while messing about with some friends)

And finally, by way of a complete contrast…

So stunning, Hazel, that Hostile seems to no longer self-identify as a narcissist!

Before and after morning makeup!

You’re cute. What a smile :slight_smile:

And no, you don’t look ill without the makeup. You just look human. That’s a good thing, believe it or not.

I just grabbed the first two off of MySpace, but here ya go :slight_smile:

Me without makeup (and rocking on sweet hat, if I may say so myself)

And me with makeup (and a new hair color. . . and a tan).

Huh. I’ll have to take no-makeup pictures tomorrow morning.

Savannah, love, love, love your glasses. You look even more fabulous with them on.

Ahhh…I’ve made a mistake. This was supposed to be my before photo:

And after:

I thought it was strange that I lost 175 pounds and you couldn’t tell the difference! It was my goof up.

HA! I can’t see these photos (latest link brings me to Facebook), but I was seriously wondering what the witch hat had to do with getting an airplane seat, like perhaps you had threatened to curse them or something.

Now I want to see!

Why thank you. And well done for losing the weight - you look great!

You’re welcome.

You may be on to something, though. I don’t think I’ve changed much over the last eight years, apart from the varying degrees of scruffyness. And each as nonflirtable as the others.

Thank you!

I just want to comment on the OP:

You’re one of those lucky women who doesn’t need cosmetics. Forget the makeup. It just covers your true beauty.

I’m just sayin’ …

As hard as it is to believe, not everyone is a member of facebook.

It’s true. I’m almost entirely gay and even I was caught off guard.

P.S. KnitWit, try right-clicking the picture itself from facebook and then left-clicking “Copy picture address” or something like that. If you don’t find it there, it should be in Properties from that original right-click menu. That will allow people who aren’t facebook members to see the pic.

Okay, take 67. You’d think I’d know how to use this machine by now. Thanks to all the extremely clever “wits” who made cracks about Facebook. I didn’t realize you couldn’t look at photos there if you weren’t a member.

After:

First of all, you rock that hat. Second, if you lost 175 pounds, wow! What an accomplishment. But I am glad you didn’t lose your smile! You’re so pretty.

Hey, thanks! I’m just glad I finally got it right!

Wow. Amazing! Nice =)
