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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. 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 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
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
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, after spending a lazy day at home, I went to UPS with my mom to help her pick up a package. While in line, she sent me back to the car because I'm, "an embarrassment to be around" when I'm not wearing makeup. 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 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, my mother screamed at me for the millionth time for “giving her a dirty look” as if I could see my own face. I’m just tired. I just wish people would pay attention to my words and not my face. FML

Why do people at work care if you have make up on?

I am so sorry you are dealing with difficulties at home and now also at work. I cannot make things better but I do want you to know you are not alone with parent issues affecting your life. Unless its a work rule you don't have to wear make up. hold your head high as you are a strong person still fighting on to make it to work and do a job that's been made tougher by gossips.

Looks like your co-workers make you cry, too. Either you're surrounded by unspeakably cruel assholes, or you're a delicate orchid who bursts into tears at the drop of a hat.

They yell at you? Actual yelling, not just questioning? Really though?

Hate people like this. It’s because of their own insecurity - they don’t feel comfortable going out of the house without makeup so they think that no one should

You don't HAVE to wear makeup. I never wear makeup because my eczema is bad and so many things burn my face and my allergies are terrible if something gets near my eyes. I just have to touch the wrong person's clothes or be near some perfume to have a breakout. No one saw me with makeup ever because I just can't be assed to have my face in pain just to look "good" And you best bet it'll look worse the next day when I wake up with a breakout and looking like i got a big ass sun burn. Bring them to HR for harassing you. Men don't get harassed to wear makeup, so let those sexist pigs learn a lesson.

I'm curious as to why anyone cares whether you have makeup on or not. That's bizarre. it's no one's business.
