A woman's viral make-up transformation is leaving people with 'trust issues'

A woman has gone viral after revealing what her face looks like without makeup, and many have praised her for being comfortable in showing her natural face to millions of people.

Julia Grandoni (@jugrandoni) who hails from Quebec, Canada posted a video which at the beginning showed herself in full glam sporting a black dress, with the on-screen text reading "Wow you're so pretty!!" referring to the response she gets when she presents herself in this way.

The video then abruptly cuts to a clip of Grandoni on her bed with the camera angled close-up to her face wearing no makeup as she jokingly mouths the words to the song playing in the background "Girl that's not me," so as to depict the difference between the two versions of her.
