I suppose I should give some context to the pictures haha... please don't judge me, I know this is gonna sound weird...
So in one of these chapters (I went back and checked, it was the one called "whining about art once again") I was talking about how I wanted to do the shading on a realistic face, specifically the cheekbone for some reason. And in another chapter (I think it was called "Pinterest") I was looking at cosplay stuff. Something I came across was female to male makeup and I thought why not try it? It's not a drawing, but this could suffice. Plus it's good practice if I ever decide to cosplay a male character (ᶜᵒᵘᵍʰ ᴾᶦᵉʳˢ).
As I've stated many times before, I don't use makeup unless I absolutely have to. If I ever find myself wanting to do makeup (which has happened maybe 3 or 4 times ever), I usually do it when nobody is home, or I try to hide away from my family so no one sees me. Then when I finish, I take a few pictures and destroy the evidence before I get caught.
Anyway, I started before dinner, which was a mistake because then my family would see it (we eat as a family for dinner). Lucky for me, I didn't do too much, so it wasn't very noticeable. I just covered my face with my hair and hoped no one would notice (which no one did). Also lucky for me, my mom and sisters were going out after dinner to get something. I declined going so I could secretly finish. After some time, I finished, got several pictures, and quickly wiped off my face. The best part is- nobody found out!
Oh, I forgot to mention, I wasn't doing a specific character, just generic male face contouring.
Alrighty picture time, I'll post the before pictures here. Here's me 🤢 with no makeup on

Actually I took these after I wiped it all off so these technically aren't before pictures but you get the idea
And here are the imgur links, because I'm too chicken to post em here... reminder that these may not look the best. I like to pretend I know what I'm doing when it comes to makeup, when in reality I don't really know. Also reminder that this looked better irl than in the pictures.
