Do you always put on at least a little concealer and lip gloss before leaving the house? You're not alone, especially if you do it because you feel like you need it.
A new study by the Harris poll, conducted on behalf of the Renfrew Center Foundation which researches eating disorders, shows that 44% of women feel unattractive without any makeup on.
The study also found that one-quarter of women started wearing makeup at age 13 or younger.
If you've been swiping on the mascara since you were a pre-teen, we can see why it might be hard to feel totally confident without it.

We can't speak for all women, but we recently started going totally makeup-free on the weekends, and we're loving it. And even stars like Julianne Hough, Marion Cotillard and Bar Refaeli all stepping out without face paint.
