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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

I just wear a thin line of eyeliner and a drop of mascara. That's all

If you live off people's compliments, you'll die when they criticize you. Or something like that.

Some people need it. No shame, just fact. Look at Lindsay Lohan. And even that's not doing as much of a job as it used to.

For someone to say that, you must wear a pound of make up everyday.

It doesnt mean she wears a lot of make-up! And it takes a while to adjust to the new image which doesnt necessarily mean that OP isnt pretty anymore! And even if Op were to be ugly, can you blame her for wearing make-up? Don't think so!

I heard some women would find it incredibly difficult to go for a week without any makeup on, even though they look fine without it. I would find it difficult to go for a week *with* makeup on. Apparently it's because I have Asperger's and I'm hyper sensitive to such things. That's right, I said I have Asperger's. Come and get me, trolls.
