"accentuating the positive"

Both, I think. But then there is an artistic side to makeup. I have been fascinated with makeup since I was a little girl and coming up with the perfect shades and application techniques for different skin colors, face shapes and cosmetic problems is truly an art form.
Besides from the artsy stuff, the answer to your specific question lies in how a woman was raised as a child or teen. Problems in the home might lead to feeling unpretty or inadequate and therefore some of these women feel the need to pile on makeup as a mask of sorts.

I think of makeup as false advertising and submerging inadequacies.

Depends on how it is used. There are some girls who trowel it on so heavily (Pamela Anderson) and look great made up, but like completely different people when the makeup is gone. This, I think is false advertising. Most of us just use it to cover imperfections and highlight features we really like. I don't think it is false advertising if you look like a better version of yourself when made up.

You would have to qualify that question much better to get any kind of a meaningful result.
If you're talking about one who uses makeup like the lady on Drew Carry, I'd have to go with both your only two options.
If you are talking about a woman who knows how to utilize makeup properly, it is a simple additive to bring out the beauty she already posses. In an analogical explanation; similar to how a florist cleans up, washes and beautifies flowers in her shop.
On the other hand; staying with the analogical explanation, you could think of one who mis-uses makeup as how Earl Schibe paints cars. lol.
Have a great Day!

For women, it can enhance features such as eyes and cheekbones and hide imperfections such as blotchy skin.
I have dated women that wear very little makeup. The ones that spend hours and put it on with a putty knife are falsely advertising as you said.

In either case, no more so than wearing clothes or jewelry, brushing teeth or using perfume or deodorant.
