If make up is allowed in beauty competitions, shouldn’t steroids and performance enhancing drugs be allowed in sports competitions?

Yeah this is from a meme, but seriously why is this the case? The reasoning for having no drugs in sports is so there’s a more “even” playing field, and mostly so the athletes can win by their own hard work and ability. So why does beauty contest allow makeup, instead of having all the contestants come in bare-faced? Wouldn’t that be a more accurate gauge of who is most beautiful? This also goes for cosmetic procedures I guess, if they even allow it.
