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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while taking the bus home, a girl stared at me for a while before asking me if I'd ever heard of makeup. 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
Today, I was sitting in the bus station when an old woman looked over at me, then said to her friend, "Young women are so pretty these days." Her friend looked up at me and said, "That's because makeup is so cheap these days." FML
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
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, 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 went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. FML
Today, I was walking through the store when I saw a little boy point to me and say something to his mom. I was out of earshot at the time, but I got close enough just in time to hear the mom reply, "God says we have to love everyone, even if they're ugly." FML
Today, I was on the subway and saw this cute guy eyeing me. I crossed my legs, tossed back my hair, and raised my eyebrows slightly. As he came up to me, my heart started racing until he finally started flirting... with the girl next to me. FML
Today, at work, a little boy shyly told his mom he thought I was cute. I smiled at him as she looked me up and down and said to him, "Eww, honey. No, you do not!" FML

Don't worry OP, he probably meant that you looked prettier without it or something.

I think you're beautiful, OP.

OP, you may just be applying too much make-up. Caking it on can have the opposite effect that you intended.

Reminds me of a girl I knew in high school that caked on her makeup. Her nickname, unknown to her, was Oompa Loompa. Did I mention it wasn't just foundation she caked on, but self tanner/bronzer? :/ There should be classes for this type of thing, lol. I used to be one of the ones that caked on foundation and cover up when my skin was really bad.

Whoops, I meant "than you intended." Oy, that's truly scary! I can just imagine how Oompa Loompa-esque she looked... :( I used to cake make-up on too, but luckily I've learned my lesson. :P

Same here. At least I didn't learn about bronzer until last year (apparently I lived under a rock? Hahaha) and I was taught how to use it instead of figuring it out for myself. Muuuuuch better. :D

Well, I call it a rock, but it's really a giant slab of ice. Of course I live in an igloo; what else do we live in, in Canada?

A hockey stadium?

Naw, my igloo's next door to one, though. Timmy's on the left, hockey stadium on the right. Brb, gotta feed the beaver.

I agree. True beauty doesn't need an inch of makeup and an hour in front of a mirror. Being male, I don't know much about makeup, but I thought it was supposed to accent your looks, not drastically alter them.

^^ Hoorah! A man that gets it! It's meant to accent or enhance, not drastically alter or entirely cover up. :)

How do you know he didn't think YOU looked pretty and was telling his mom (who might wear makeup) that SHE looks ugly? Random thought. :) #91 Your dog is SO CUTE!!!

This can be taken both ways. He could be saying that his mom is ugly and you're pretty, or he could be saying that you're ugly, and his mom is pretty. In my opinion, you should take the former thought approach that the boy thought you were very pretty, and that his mom wasn't as good.

I'm not making any judgements on anyone's appearances here, but, where I live at least, girls tend to wear TOO MUCH make up and it makes them look hideous, especially on a hot day. I'm not a fan of makeup except on special occasions, my gf doesn't wear it, and I like it that way. I don't see why girls should try to hide their faces away behind a mask just to look better for people they don't know. Tbh, most girls are prettier without makeup or with a LITTLE BIT to cover up the blemishes/zits/imperfections if you want.

Maybe you should learn how to put makeup on or stop being so ugly or not go out in public or cake it on a bit thinner

maybe you should go for more of a natural look OP rather than trying to look like a supermodel...
