This is my list of the quickest and easiest ways to change your appearance without cosmetics:

* cutting your hair length

* styling your hair differently

* coloring your hair

* wearing eyeglasses or changing the color and/or style

* wearing contact lenses instead

* whitening your teeth

* tweezing or growing out your brows

Does annyone have any other ideas?  If so, thanks in advance.

Nope, I'm not going undercover  ;-)

Hmmm...I think you nailed it! Those are all excellent suggestions!😊 A great facial and skin care and products.😊 And something as simple as a smile, nothing lights up a face better!👍

Edited to remove makeup reference after rereading the post and seeing the reference to no cosmetics.🥰

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I think changing your hairstyle makes the biggest difference. 

Makeup every day is best for me. Pinker blush and lipstick.

Wear brighter colors near your face.

Smile more!

@feline groovy   Your post reminded me of an incident involving my father..........

The block I lived on when I was a teenager, there was this lady who was probably in her mid 40's to early 50's who always wore makeup no matter the time of day.  This lady was very beautiful as the makeup was perfection as if a makeup artist made her up. 

Her eyeshadows always matched the color(s) of her clothing.  Us kid would look at her in amazment when she walked around or just sitting around in the front or back yards.

One morning, my father came in the house all ruffled up holloring for my mother.  I overheard my him telling my mother that he went to xxxxxx house to return an item he had borrowed.  This "old ugly" lady answered the door & he asked if xxxxxx was home as he wanted to return this item.  xxxxxx told my father SHE WAS xxxxxx.  My father quickly left.

My mother had to explain to him that women who wore makeup 24/7 look very different w/o it & not in a good way.  You just happen to see xxxxxxx prior to her putting on her face.

My father never went to her house again "in the morning."  My father was good friends w/her husband.

@feline groovy  A happy smile on your face, and 8 solid hours of good beauty sleep. Good hydration, healthy food, and a good skin care line always helps too.

Extreme weight loss or weight gain. I saw someone I knew years ago when they very overweight and did not recognize them b/c they lost a lot of weight. Looked like a totally different person.

@feline groovy   The only quick solution I can think of that hasn't been named is perhaps your clothing style.  Try an outfit you'd normally never be drawn to wearing.  

@Bookplate  mentioned another good one, wigs.  Years ago, I'd wear a wig from time to time whenever I didn't feel like styling my hair.  Consequently, I was rarely recognized either lol.

Wear colors, shapes, textures, patterns, etc that match who you are naturally.

(google 'dressing your truth' by carol tuttle - lots of before and afters that show the difference it makes - this image is not me and I'm not a paid spokesperson but it's one of the best things I ever decided to do)

Your father hollered about an ugly woman because she wasn't wearing make up?

Weird and so unkind. Dud your mom wear makeup 24/7?
