For many women, applying makeup is an unskippable part of their daily routine. Others wouldn’t dream of spending so much time on their vanity and go for a completely natural look. The following 17 women have given us the chance to really compare: half of their faces are completely natural and the other half given the full treatment.

Perhaps there’s a happy medium to be found here? What kind of look do you prefer?
