If you need to disguise your identity for any reason . . . hey, no judgments. And I've got good news for you: Apparently you don't have to do too much.

A new study found that you can fool a lot of people with a pretty BASIC disguise, like a wig, glasses, or different makeup.

In the study, any of those three simple changes made it 30% harder for someone to recognize you.

The researchers did find it's harder to fool people you KNOW . . . so in those cases, you'll have to up your disguises even more.
