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".

This is a result of women constantly deciding to hide behind a wall off makeup.

I'm quite pale and I'm pretty sure that's happened to me before!

If you look ill without makeup, it just means you wear it too often. Your face pigment is not receiving enough sunlight and so therefore it is a lighter color

Shoulda gone in natural from day one. Or at most wear very little, it's very painful to see a pretty face ruined by excess makeup.

I'm guessing your back to wearing makeup?

Thirteen? At least a lot of people obviously care about your well-being! If you have dark circles under your eyes that you usually conceal, you probably will look "ill" to people who don't ever see them. Still, if everyone gets used to it, no biggy. Personally, I once went to a class without makeup, and my teacher joked to another student that my mother beats me on a daily basis. Awkward moments can ensue with these things.
