Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Same thing different taste
Today, I went into work for the first time without make-up. My boss thought I looked so tired and ill that he sent me home. FML
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
Today, I went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. 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 decided to not wear makeup for the first time. My boyfriend asked me if I got punched in the face. 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".

I don't think people understand this, it's NOT an insult, if you see someone more pale/whiter than they usually are, you assume they are ill. If they were always that white/pale, then they wouldn't think you were ill, that's all. It's not that you actually look bad, but rather you don't usually look that white is all.

did you tell them that you were not wearing make up? I mean when I see my girlfriend without make up I don't insult her...sorry but its a split...I can't vote...

Makeup is an art. It helps you look more enhanced, so obviously, no makeup means no enhancement. Especially when it comes to bronzer or blush, you can look very sick without it. The decision to wear it is just about personal style, much like how people choose their clothes for when they're at home or out during the weekend or at work. Different situations call for different clothes/makeup. In the same way you don't wear 7 inch stilettos and a bikini to an office, you don't wear a smokey eye with lots of bronzer and hot pink lipstick to work either. I don't think OP falls into this category.

So, you're saying when I wake up at quarter to seven in the morning everyday, because I'm tired that means I'm sick? Or did I read your comment wrong?

I get this all the time. My ex boyfriends are the only ones who tell me I look good everyone else asks if I'm sick or ok.

It's ok OP. I didn't wear makeup to work yesterday. One guy commented, "So you're one of those girls who's made up pretty and not naturally pretty."
