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 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".

I wouldn't say f your life or you deserve it... The same thing happens to me because I have really bad dark circles under my eyes (since I was a child). I just laugh it off, not a big deal. I don't wear a ton of makeup either, just enough to brighten up my eyes and give my pale skin some color.

I go to school without make up n people tell me I look better without it..make up doesn't make you 'beautiful' it just adds colour n shine to your face..tbh inner 'glow' is much more beautiful

Maybe that's because you looked like a clown the whole time... :P Ease up on the makeup OP.

If you often wear it and wear a lot of it, people aren't used to you without it. Also, a lot of people don't wear it if they are ill. If you usually wear eyeliner and mascara, your eyes will look smaller and tired without it.

I know how it feels OP, I don't tan very easily and am very pale so if I don't "freshen up" with some makeup I practically look like a zombie. Let's hope the incoming summer sun will treat us well and make us tanned and beautiful ;)

It's only because they thought that with your makeup that that was how you looked all the time. So don't feel bad. You look fine the way you are naturally are. :)

Vintage pinup girls were often fair skinned with bright lips. Food for thought.
