Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I can stop using makeup, because it's "not working." 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, my boyfriend asked me if I wear makeup much. Expecting him to say something about my natural beauty, I replied with an honest, "No." His smiled softly, gently squeezed my shoulder, and said, "Maybe you should." 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 went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. FML
Today, I didn't put any makeup on my acne-ridden and newly sun-burnt face. Today was also the first time I've ever run into my crush outside of work, all while trying to parallel park in a car that hasn't been washed in 6 months. I hit the car behind me. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I'm beautiful. Before I could thank him, he continued, "Too bad it takes a shit-load of makeup." FML
Today, while hanging out with my boyfriend, I started getting ready for bed. As I grabbed my face wipes, he said, “Wait, don't take off your makeup because then you'll be ugly.“ FML

That's the thing with wearing make up all the time: no one appreciates your true beauty since they're all used to the fake you :( fyl OP

When I didn't wear a lot of makeup to school, they asked if I had cancer.

I barely wear make up around my bf cause he told me he thinks I'm much prettier without it. But I do wear it when we go out or I'm with the girls :)

I know that feel bro, I used to wear makeup every day, and when I for once didn't wear any, everybody thought I was ill or something :P now they're getting used to it at home, but I still don't go out of the house without makeup, dark spots under the eyes and neurodermitis around the eyes...

Your boyfriend is an asshole. Women SHOULD wear less makeup to stop being slaves to image and the fashion industry.

There is nothing wrong with makeup. It's used only to enhance natural beauty. While I agree with the caking it on being unattractive, make up that looks more natural shouldn't come off as that. It should be light and only correct problem areas (e.g. scars).
