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 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".

You should go to a doctor.

Yeah, I heard the withdrawal symptoms from not wearing make-up is horrible.
THE_A_TEEN 28
Yes. The first symptom is looking really ill, or like the walking dead. The second one is being shunned by society. The third one is depression. The fourth is Psychological scaring. The fifth is Death. Apparently, it's that serious.

That may be because they aren't used to seeing you without it. Something was subtly different and they couldn't figure it out. At least they care enough to see if you are well? P.S. Was I the only one having a difficult time not clicking the 'submit FML' button?

29- As much as I'd really love to, FML doesn't seem to find my life good enough (or bad, I guess) to post! I can tell you some real embarassing/horror stories if you'd like, though.

Probably because you wear so much makeup your skin looks a bit more pale. But hold on, natural is beautiful.

If you consistently wear heavy make up, especially on the eyes, or bronzer the lack of these can give the impression of being ill. Leave the heavy eyeliner for nights out at the club and keep a fresh light look for everyday.

I suggest toning it done a bit just so the next time you don't wear makeup, it doesn't look like you're dead. Go for a natural look :)

That just means there are 13 people at your work who are honest. The rest of them are talking about it behind your back.

I don't think I've been outside once in the last ten years without having at least a little bit of makeup on. Huh. People who know me would probably say the same thing.
