A Japanese make-up artist shocked the internet with her bare-face photos recently.

According to Asian Town, the woman had posted comparison pictures of herself with and without make-up, showing the drastic effect cosmetics had on her appearance.

“This is my first half-face make-up picture on this account,” said the woman. Even though I’m still not very good at using it, I love make-up and I want to show that you don’t need plastic surgery to change how your face looks.”

The photos showing half her face with make-up and half without drew comments from netizens who said it looked like two different people were posing for the images.
