Today, while I was removing my makeup with my boyfriend watching, he mentioned that he used to think girls were prettier without makeup on, but he'd now changed his mind. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the guy I was seeing texted me a photo back of myself I had sent him earlier, saying I'm such a beautiful woman, suggesting that I set it as my profile pic. Too bad he doesn't think I'm pretty enough without a lot of enhancements, because he photoshopped the hell out of that thing. FML
Today, my husband and I were talking about celebrities he finds attractive. All of these beautiful, talented, glamorous women were starting to make me feel very plain, so he attempted to console me by saying, "But I love you. You're attainable!" FML
Today, while on a date with my boyfriend, he broke up with me. The reason why? Because I took a dump in his bathroom and "that's inappropriate for girls." FML
Today, while sitting next to me, my boyfriend sent a text to one of his "friends" saying, "I'm thinking of you." FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me, all because he's scared of my mother. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of two years has a beautiful daughter. That's cool, except she's one year old. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I had been talking to online for weeks. When I showed up, he looked nothing like his profile picture, and he spent the entire time talking about his ex-girlfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years told me he had feelings for someone else. He also told me he wanted to continue dating me until things progressed further with the other woman. FML
Today, as always, my boyfriend has the ability to pop his eyeballs out of his eye sockets. He thought it'd be funny for me to wake up face-to-face with the disgusting sight. The shit in my bowels did an early Thanksgiving Day parade straight into my underwear. FML
Today, a guy who I hate commented on my Facebook profile picture that I "look like I've fallen off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." Sixty people liked this, including my boyfriend and my best friend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

On the plus side, make up is supposed to make you prettier, so you must be doing it right! Lol

I wear minimal make-up (if any at all) as well but I disagree that make-up invariably ages you and makes your skin bad. And if you can't see someone's concealed spots, that's because they've done a good job.

I always get a chuckle when guys say girls look better without makeup because they tend to point out girls who are still wearing a bit of foundation and lip gloss. Like how magazines show pictures of celebrities "without makeup"...yet they're obviously just wearing their "day makeup" and not the heavier night stuff. Which isn't to say that there aren't the girls who look amazing without makeup. But many of us do need to cover pores, redness, pimples, and scars. So when you say a girl has great skin, she might just be wearing amazing makeup. If she knows how to apply it properly, it CAN be hard to tell if she's even wearing any (which IMO should be the point of makeup. It's there to cover flaws and enhance features you want enhanced. Don't just slather it on for the Oompa Loompa look).

Hehe, your comment reminds me of my boyfriend. He was also talking about how most girls were prettier without make-up, while pointing to a girl who was obviously wearing mascara, eye shadow and fond-de-teint. And everytime he sees a woman without any make-up on, he has to comment on how hideous and old they look.

Some guys I know after being corrected about the "natural looking" girls. Would end up correcting themselves "I like girls who at least wear make up so subtlety that I don't notice she is. The only think that can stand is eyeliner & lipstick. That's cute." So funny, if they hang out with girls they just want a natural, effortless look.

You must know how to put it on then, in order for him to realize and appreciate the art and science of makeup. Lots of guys can be total dicks in relationships but I'm sure he meant it in the best way possible. I really don't mind my girl going minimalistic with her makeup but for Valentine's this year she put on some silver eyeshadow and she looked lovely and... well... You know... >_>

Whenever men say "girls are prettier without makeup on", in fact, we just want to say "we love rather a girl who is pretty if she doesn't put on makeup than every girls who do." The former is the abbreviation of the latter.

Well make up enhances your beauty. Its not like you're a hideous monster, but when you remove your make up there's gonna be a noticeable difference when you do a good job with it. It's a compliment to your skills.

If you don't think makeup makes you prettier, why do you spend so much time and money on it?

Because makeup is a fun accessory like any clothes, jewelry or shoes?

"Point i'm making is is even in movies and tv shows etc when the actresses have spots, you can still see them, even when they've had a professional working on them to hide it. " I'm sorry, but I don't believe that. Why hire make-up professionals if they don't change a thing?

You've obviously being doing your makeup really well if he never realised you'd look different without it. And I think a lot of guys say they prefer the no makeup look, but maybe they're talking about nude lip gloss and simple eye makeup. My guy friends (and some of the girls even) only realise I'm wearing makeup if I do something obvious like eyeliner flicks or red lipstick. Otherwise, they assume that, because I'm pale, I'm not wearing makeup. I don't think they realise you can buy makeup that isn't golden coloured. They always use me as an example of "no makeup". I bet they'd be as surprised as your boyfriend if I took it off. Most people look different with makeup.

I don't get how that's an insult. Makeups supposed to make you prettier. If it made you ugly why would anyone put it on...

I understand why most are telling OP that she deserved it or go "wear less make up, dude, seriously" or, like you, just don't understand what the big deal is, but can we just agree with the fact that what the boyfriend did here was a dick move? Yeah, makeup makes you look "prettier" - that's the point, and that's why so many girls wear it. They're insecure about what they really look like, so they need to cover their face up with makeup to feel good. So when her boyfriend made that comment, it wasn't just a small quip but it was a more personal blow to OP's self-esteem; so much so that she felt it was an FML. So seriously, **** that guy. And for people who "don't get why girls wear makeup" then this is why. Of course there's always going to be other reasons why girls wear makeup and it's not just a self-esteem thing, but in this case it clearly was and OP's boyfriend was a d-bag.
