Today, I had a morning shift at the restaurant and didn't feel like wearing makeup. I was energetic and greeted everyone happily, but my manager told me I looked tired. I said, "Oh no I'm just not wearing makeup!" He said, "Well, you might need it." FML

What's updog?
Today, all of my friends and teachers asked me what was wrong because I looked sad and tired. One kid even said that I looked like "an abused housewife the day after." I was fine. It was the first time I went to school without wearing any makeup. FML

Shot from both sides
Today, I was yelled at by multiple people at work for not wearing any makeup. The only reason I don’t wear makeup is because my mom is guaranteed to make me cry before I leave the house every morning, so there’s no point. FML

Today, my boss commented on the fact that I don't usually wear makeup, then told me it would be much appreciated if I'd change that. FML

Wrong move
Today, I told a coworker, “You look way better without makeup.” She responded, “I’m wearing makeup.” Everyone around us gasped like I had just said "fuck" in church. FML

Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". FML

Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML

Don't worry, that's just society's way of saying "My beauty standards are screwed up".

Just gotta say that I've been there before,just brush it off. My best friend in jr high would hand me hair gel and her make up bag after telling me I look like he'll every morning if my hair wasn't straight and/or I didn't have on make up. Brush it off :)

That's because most people, especially men, seemingly have no idea what make up does to your face! I usually wear little make up, but it does the trick - concealer and blush makes you look less tired and healthier. When I skip out on those things, my dark circles on my very light skin are extremely noticable and I get comments about "looking exhausted/tired" all the time, too. Well **** you people. Newsflash - real people don't look awake and radiant and healthy like they do on TV.

Same thing happens to me. I'm just too pale.
