Whether it's a full face of foundation or a slick of lip gloss, it's no secret that most women need a little helping hand when it comes to looking their best, especially when impressing on a first date. But it seems that women are so insecure without their war paint that a staggering 80 per cent wait at least an entire month before letting a new lover see them without make-up, according to the latest survey. And it seems that women will go to extreme lengths to impress with more than a third of women deliberately getting up before their new boyfriend to secretly apply make-up before he wakes up because they do not dare to go bare in the first flushes of love. A further 60 per cent of women use a simple trick and don't even take their make-up off when they sleep with a new beau. The latest findings prove how women are extremely reluctant to let a new man see them without make-up until they have really got to know them. Almost one in five (17 per cent) wait as long as two months, 16 per cent wait three to six months, 8 per cent keep up the flawless face facade for a whole year and 3 per cent never, ever let their man see them without their slap.
