Vision: Seeing makeup: don’t try to make something negative look better than it is or hush it up. Also, don’t be impressed by appearances—they are deceptive. Seeing people wearing makeup: beware of false friends.

If you are wearing makeup: you want people to think you are better than you really arc, but you are only deceiving yourself.

Depth Psychology: The best motto always is to live the “unvarnished truth.” Do you want to hide something? Are you easily deceived by what people “seem” to be, by people whose intentions are not honest? These are questions that only you can answer.

Makeup is associated with the public persona and creating the illusion of more beauty than you actually possess. There is an element of inauthenticity being expressed through this as a dream image and a desire to present a face to the world that may conceal the truth beneath the surface. What is happening with the makeup within the context of the dream should enhance your interpretation. Putting on makeup is to cover up something true with a false presentation. Taking makeup off is to desire a more authentic way of being seen in the world.
