Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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".

Hey, in my opinion gals look a million times better without it. People just need to get used to the way you really look, they're used to what you typically wear! :D

I get that too, but for me it's just because I'm so pale. I don't wear much makeup at all, but without some mascara and a little foundation I look like a ghost - or like I'm really ill... Doesn't mean you can't still be pretty :)

Beautiful people don't need makeup. You must be really ugly.

When my friends don't wear makeup I comment on how beautiful they look. Too much makeup is a sin.
