Did people notice when you started using makeup?

Advice Question

I think the next step I want to take in my transition is Makeup, or at least starting to experiment with makeup, I'm still in the closet so I'm honestly nervous about it, I also don't know anything about it but I'd love to learn, them main thing I want to try is shaping my eye brows and hiding the shadow from my facial hair.

However I do worry about my family finding out, I really don't know what I would say if they point out that I shaped my eyebrows, I also worry if I can even keep the makeup on, I tend to touch my face a lot because I adjust my glasses or simply nervous habits.

My two main questions are, when you started using makeup, did people notice? And what would be a good excuse in case someone points it out? Any and all advice helps, thank y'all :)
