Make-up may enhance or disguise facial characteristics. The influence of wearing make-up on facial recognition could be of two kinds: (i) when women do not wear make-up and then are seen with make-up, and (ii) when women wear make-up and then are seen without make-up. A study is reported which shows that light make-up makes it easier to recognise a face, and heavy make-up makes it more difficult. Seeing initially a made-up face makes any subsequent facial recognition more difficult than initially seeing that face without make-up.
化妆可以增强或掩盖面部特征。化妆对面部识别的影响可能有两种：（i）女性不化妆然后化妆后被观察，以及（ii）女性化妆然后卸妆后被观察。一项研究报告显示，淡妆使面部识别更容易，而浓妆则使面部识别更困难。最初看到化过妆的脸会使随后的任何面部识别比最初看到素颜的脸更困难。
