Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while doing my disabled client's makeup I got my period. I'm hoping that she didn't notice a red stain on her white bedspread when I stood up. FML
Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML
Today, I was at a birthday party and got my face rubbed in cake. When I came out of the restroom having washed my face, I noticed one of the girls going in. Just to be nice, I asked, "They put cake on your face too, did they?" She said no, that was just her make-up. FML
Today, I awoke to make-up all over my face and nail polish on my hands and feet because my daughter wanted "daddy to look pretty." I have a job interview in an hour and none of it is coming off. FML
Today, it was the first day of my job at a kindergarten. A boy fell over in the playground, so I ran over to see if he was OK. He got up and had a huge red mark on the side of his face. Shocked, I yelled "Oh my god, your face!" Turns out it's a very large port-wine birthmark and now he won't stop crying. FML
Today, was my wedding day. Right before I walked down the aisle in my gorgeous white dress, the woman who did my makeup saw a blemish. She went to squirt concealer on her finger, but squirted the orange concealer all over my dress. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new high school. I put on a tiny bit of makeup, just some mascara, to feel more confident. I got in the car and my mom started yelling about how horrible my makeup is, basically calls me a slut for wearing it, and makes me take it off. I ended up crying in the bathroom on my first day. FML
Today, at school, I was scheduled to give a presentation to my class. As I arrived, my teacher said to me, "You're bleeding from the 120th pimple on your left cheek." FML
Today, my school put on a musical. I was one of the leads, and in the middle of my solo, I got a huge nosebleed. A little girl in the front row screamed. FML
Today, I went to the store with my 4 1/2 year old daughter. When we got to the cosmetics aisle, she asked what make-up was for, I told her it was to make women prettier. My daughter then told me it was a good thing I wear make-up because I was ugly and that I might scare off my husband. FML

Oh please, you can't compare birthmarks on an arm (that you can easily cover if it bothers you) to birthmarks on a face.

I understand how the girl feels because, even though it is not the same thing, I have really horrible psoriasis across my face, head, back and legs. People have always been scornful of me and have treated me like a mutant, but it was an honest mistake, and I think that she overreacted a bit too much.

I have a similar mark that covers most of my forearm. I don't mind having it on my arm, but I would hate to have it on my face.

Honest mistake, its the girl's fault. Birthmarks are odd and its easy to misinterpret them as burns, scars, etc. :3

87, and any other comments that said similar things, I don't see how any of it was anyone's "fault." How can you say "it's her fault for having a birthmark," or as someone else said, she should have to cover it with makeup so no one will say anything about it? Also, how would it be OP's fault for thinking someone in a play was wearing so much makeup that it could be easily smudged? Especially if the lipstick the girl was wearing was a similar color to her birthmark. Smh. No one has to be at fault for a small misunderstanding. And maybe it's a little bit of an overreaction to cry for half an hour because someone thought your birthmark was makeup, but that doesn't mean she's to blame for anything.....

I can understand being self-conscious and a little upset, but it seems excessive to hide away and cry for half an hour while she was needed to prepare for the play that she presumably was in. :/

its not your fault, it's not like you can just TELL it was a birthmark
