You're essentially touching up your face, and those who fail their save like your glow up (2d4 increase to CHA), while those who succeed their save think that you painted your face with a bucket (1d4 penalty to CHA). It's essentially a "har har, make up deceives people to think you're prettier" joke. Of course, 5E kinda ruins the joke by spelling it out ("a small amount of makeup applied to the face as this spell is cast").</blockquote>
