Ok, so there's this gal that works in the store next to me that I'm planning on asking out on a date.

However there's a certain issue that I'm not sure how to address: On two different occassions I have seen her but not recognized her because she looks totally different without her make up on. I think it was fairly obvious that I did not recognize her. My problem is I'm not sure how to answer if she asks if I didn't recognize her. That's not to say that she's unattractive without her makeup and having her hair done in a certain way; in fact I find her quite beautiful with or without her make up, hair, etc.

However I do not think she realizes this as the first time that I saw her and didn't recognize her, she said "I look really different without my makeup on, don't I?". Her tone, etc. has given me the feeling that she's very self-conscious about this.

So how do I answer when she asks me about my not recognizing her without sounding like I'm lying when I say I find her equally attractive with or without makeup.
