If you don't wear makeup, and then you get all gussied up, it's easy to look like another person. And the default compliment for somebody all dressed up is to say they look nice.

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, I asked her to please not put on so much makeup I wouldn't recognize her. She rarely wears make up, and I had been to other weddings where the brides were so made up, I honestly had a hard time seeing the person I knew in there under all the fancy dress.

So I asked her to be recognizable. She was.
