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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. FML
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
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML
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 was feeling unusually self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on makeup for the day. On my way to class, I passed some guys selling towels. One of them jeered, "Wanna be prettier? Buy a towel, and throw it over your face!" There goes my self-confidence. FML
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 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, as I walked around town I noticed some guys and even a couple of girls checked me out. When I got home later I realized they probably weren't checking me out, so much as wondering why the hell I had thick black eyeliner on only one eye. Oops. 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, my boyfriend saw me without make-up for the first time we've been dating for two years. He freaked because he didn't know who I was. FML

And this is why makeup was invented.

This is why I find make up so deceiving. It's so powerful that drag queens get mistaken for actual women.

She deserves it for boosting her self esteem because she didn't feel confident enough?

Do you really need to wear a face full of makeup to school? I never understood why the girls at my school spent hours on it every morning just to sit in class for 6 hours..

Probably so that people thought they were beautiful...

If it takes you hours to do your makeup you're doing it wrong. Takes me less than 15 minutes to do my daytime makeup.

That's the whole point of makeup though, to create an illusion that enhances your natural beauty, though some people go too far with it to overcompensate for their flaws. Doesn't matter either way OP, you just look the way you want to look and that should be good enough for anybody.

The makeup matrix... It's amazing until it opens... And you OP, unknowingly walked out of it...

Maybe it's a case that wearing make up makes her more confident, even if it seems she could be wearing a lot. I don't wear heavy makeup daily. A little bit of foundation and mascara will do me fine but even then I feel different than if I was to go without. I really do take my hat off to girls who feel confident enough to go without make up.
