Coverup: The makeup might cover the color of the skin of your face which might delay the surgeon or anesthesiologist recognizing an important change in your condition. For example, lipstick might cover "blue lips" which would indicate that you weren't getting enough oxygen in your blood. The makeup has no effect on the procedure.
