Well, according to what she was narrating/thinking, the others still wore makeup even though they were told not to.
So, really, their "no makeup for comparison" thing is just gonna turn out like this: (picture not spoiler)
What, yuri?
Please be yuri, of a FLAMING lesbian and a timid girl who never realized the other one is trying to hit on her in romantic sense, not physical sense.
Uhm... so the people doing the contest don't intend to make a fair contest. And at the same time Yuseong seems awfully lax about his participation. Like, sure he's doing proper make-up but aside from that it's kinda ... ughh. I really wonder where this whole story is supposed to go.
The costume thing really makes little to no sense. Maybe it's the fact that the entire contest is run by jerk ass people and this is a fictional story? I don't need things to be perfectly believable but then again I also don't want gaping issues like this one where everyone is left scratching their heads. 😆
