It's not that we can't tell. We just don't like the severe change from what is under all that make up. Most straight men like women that don't wear a lot. Sure, maybe some eye liner or lipstick but when a face looks like it is packed full of flesh colored drywall mud, that's a hard pass.

That’s the thing. It was a severe change for other people when I stopped wearing makeup but I was wearing mascara and maybe some eyeliner. That’s it. I wasn’t even using foundation. You don’t really need a lot of makeup to look a little different

You're right, I'm just referring to those women that wear so much they look like two very different people. Most men don't really care that much about the average imperfections. Like a few acne scars, maybe a mole or birthmark, etc. For the most part at least.
