Growing up with sisters, I’d say she’s actually probably wearing makeup in both pictures.
The left is “full face” makeup so like foundation everywhere and highlights and contour and blush etc. etc. lots of layers and up close it’s obvious.
The right is a “no-makeup look” which is not actually no makeup but minimal makeup meant to look as though it’s natural. Thats likely why her eyebrows are perfect and her skin is completely blemish free in the “no makeup” photo.
Full face makeup is common for performers or when going out to some fancy event. Dates could count here but probably not most dates since it takes serious time and effort to put on and take off a full face look. And it is somewhat uncomfortable / annoying to have on. But it gives a lot more possibilities for artistic flare too. So many women (or just people in general) find it fun to do.
Minimal makeup is still art but also takes significant skill to get right even though there’s often much less makeup to put on.
I highly doubt most people are going on many dates in full face makeup. Probably more makeup than just a minimal look, like eyeshadow/eyeliner, but probably not putting on three layers of makeup over their entire face
Bingo. Absolutely nobody has blemish free skin like that, especially not skin that's constantly exposed to the sun.
