I've never been what you would call comfortable with my looks. Especially without makeup. In fact, in most cases I won't leave the house without it. I've got a motto stuck in my head, "If you feel good, look good, if you feel like shit, look even better". It has become my way of showing myself exactly what I'm made of, and that is what I'd like to portray, not just a painted face. It wasn't something I decided to do for anyone else other than myself, but it wasn't bad if others noticed it too. That being the only time I was "okay" with people looking at me, and okay was just less uncomfortable than if I had toilet paper stuck to my boot. I don't have eyebrows, I draw them on. I don't have eyelashes, I glue them on. I feel humanlike. Makeup does that for me, it's helped me come out of my shell, embrace my creativity and individualism. It's shown me I am unique, different, it's given me confidence time and time over, but most importantly, it's given me a chance to see myself as beautiful. I wouldn't trade that for a million dollars.
Don't be afraid to get creative and do different things than the norm. You'll be surprised.
