They are small problems, but you can do without them as you try to impress your date.

Be yourself

Or else it would be misleading and cause problems in future. What if the date works and you meet this person again and again. Will you continue to wear makeup or adopt makeup in your daily lifestyle.

Besides, your date may end up thinking you have a headache and would be reluctant to spend time with you.
