If you're a woman and put on makeup, doesn't this imply a certain degree of dishonesty and manipulation?

Figure 2: http://cdn-www.i-am-bored.com/media/katyperrynomakeup.jpg http://cdn-www.i-am-bored.com/media/katyperrynomakeup.jpg Picking up girls, and selling are very similar, and you can often cross use the techniques you learn. Is selling dishonest? It is if you lie and shit. Is it manipulative? What the hell does that really mean? When we interact with the world and people, we are by definition manipulating it. If you show up to a party and act retarded, you are manipulating people into thinking you're a retard. If you show up to a party and act cool, interesting, fun, you are manipulating people into thinking you're that. Is the latter form of manipulation considered "bad" because you aren't cool, interesting, and fun all the time? No one is 100% of the time, we all have different emotional states, at different times. Why is selling yourself wrong then? There's pretty much nothing wrong with that as long as you don't have STDs (and even that's ok if you mention it) or are a serial killer or something.
