Today, I yelled at a new employee for violating the company's makeup policy which is minimum coverage. She had red lipstick, very dark drawn eyebrows, and foundation that made her look like a ghost. She took out a makeup wipe and used it then showed me it, only to reveal she doesn't wear any. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, 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, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML
Today, I asked my manager if wearing makeup was a requirement for the job. She told me, "Not if you're naturally pretty... So for you, yes". 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 buy some makeup. As I was checking out, the cashier said, "You're going to need more than that to cover up that face." FML
Today, my mom told me that my new concealer is way too dark and makes my skin look hideously orange and uneven. I wasn't wearing any makeup. FML
Today, at my job in a cosmetics department, I was helping a customer find something to her taste. She said, "I want a lipstick like yours. Something that says, 'I'm a bitch'." 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sorry op but ydi. Always ask before you assume. Assumptions often lead to bad results.

Even if the assumption was correct yelling was out of line. OP sounds like a shit boss.

Well, once she got over you yelling at her for no damn reason, she may have taken it as a compliment, in that she's so pretty she looks like she's wearing makeup when she isn't. In fact, use that as an excuse if it's not too late.

from the description, I'm not sure it would be described as pretty... wearing make up doesn't make you prettier if you don't know how to use it

She could be a shut-in... :D

No, it doesn't necessarily mean she's pretty, but OP could *say* that's why. It's just little white lie. Won't hurt nobody. ;)

She could just have tattoo'd on makeup.

@tounces7 Thats what I thought as I was reading it.

That's really worth yelling at someone about?

Instead of yelling about something that minor, maybe you should politely speak to employees. Or you know, check to make sure they're actually wearing make up before flipping your lid.

Either you're just a coworker, in which case it's not up to you to discipline people for not respecting the company policy (though a heads up is generally appreciated), or you're a superior, in which case abusing your power by yelling at her is unprofessional and just a shitty thing to do.

Its was permanent makeup

The eyebrows might have been tattooed on, but I doubt she had "permanent" ghost white foundation lol. Her lips could have been tattooed red too, but maybe not. People have mistaken me many times for wearing lipstick when I'm not.

Tattooed red lips? That is a very painful, yet awesome idea!

Maybe don't be a douche and actually learn to manage your personnel properly instead of shouting about a first offense, you prick.
