For some reason, my facial hair doesn't show up in pictures, I actually do have quite a noticeable load of black hair on my upper lip. Don't get me wrong I'm no Tom Selleck...but it's definitely there

so try to take that into account while looking at my mug shots.
I'm basically wondering if I can get away with making more of an effort with my appearance, I would love to be able to wear makeup and have emo-rocker hair....I'm growing my hair long so it's a bit of a state at the moment growing out of a short back and sides style.
In the first two pictures there's no makeup, and my hair is not styled in any way. Then I put on eyeliner and styled my hair for comparison. What do you guys think? Does it make much of a difference?
For the record out in the real world I pass around 50% of the time which is a vast improvement from a few months ago; and I tend to look how I do in the first two pictures. I may post a video at some point so you can judge the whole package and not just an image

but for now:
