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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. 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, 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 to go all-natural and go to work without any makeup on. My boss swore I was on drugs, which I guess had absolutely nothing to do with the completely "random" drug test I had to take later in the day. 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, I decided to not wear makeup for the first time. My boyfriend asked me if I got punched in the face. FML
Today, my boss's husband came over to our office, and as a by the way comment told our boss my make-up looks good and suits me. The thing is, I've never worn make-up to work, and obviously, he never told his wife, my boss, that she looks good with make-up on. I'm fucked. FML
Today, for the first time, I decided to just be myself at work. My boss thought I was drunk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That must mean you usually put a lot of makeup on. Makeup is meant to only enhance your beauty, not create a totally fake beautiful mask.

If my wife wears make up she looks older than she is. At the same time time, she looks better without it. The most plausible reasons as to why you look tired and ill would be because you're lacking sleep or you tan, tanning causes early aging (wrinkles, etc) and the possibility of looking tired and ill.

because of what just happened, this is why i don't normally post in the comments and mainly read the FMLs and laugh some of the people who do post in the FML comments. all the houlier than thou posters thumb down anyone who disagrees with them and except 1 million comments telling the OP that they feel bad for the OP.

yeah...you were the holier-than-thou poster this time. And you got thumbed down b/c of it. OP didnt claim to wear a ton of makeup. I know a VERY pretty woman that only wears eyeliner if she puts on makeup. Without it, she does look tired. So much for your bs theory in the previous post.

What is it with you and babbling about all your thumbs down? This is the third time. If you "don't care" so much, then act that way and get over it.

there isn't anything wrong with wearing make up, the idea of make up is to make it look like you aren't wearing make up at all, as to how I know that, my wife is a make up artist. Wearing too much make up is the problem. I doubt OP wore a lot, OP sounds like the person who wears just enough and is comfortable going outside their house without make up on, and that can tell a lot about a person.

in this FML, I at first did feel bad for her because I know what she means, but then most of the people defending her make me not wanna pity her. She most definitely deserves it now because she's one of those people who always wears make up everywhere she goes.

still waiting for you to get a clue that i'm allowed to have an opinion and just because it doesn't agree with yours doesn't mean it should get buried or moderated. i was respectful about it too. i didn't curse or have foul language or anything. yet you houlier than thou people thumb down anyone who disagrees. thumbing up all the posts who don't agree with yours.
