Should I wear make up or not

My face is scarred alot...lots of red and especially dark spots on my cheeks, chin and forehead...everywhere :( I don't wear make up but I have a date tomorrow with someone I haven't seen for a long time- and he doesn't know my skin has gotten this bad. Should I wear a lot of make up or should I just wear some eyeliner/mascara and let him see my skin?

If you can be yourself and comfortable without make-up go for it :)

I just wore lipgloss, smudged eyeliner and mascara. I got a tan yesterday so the dark spots are somewhat blended in...except in florescent/bright lighting. My sleeves went up higher than I thought they would (its a new shirt) and I know he saw the serious scars but he didn't say anything. Close one!!

I wear a lot of make up everyday and when I first got with my boyfriend I used to sleep in it too! Once I felt more relaxed and trusted him I stopped wearing it at night and he says (probably not truthfully) that he prefers me without it! So going for no make up was probably a better option :)
