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, 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.

This is why I never wear makeup. That way when you do, everyone is like, "Ooooh, you look great!"

it happens. if people don't know what your real face looks like then they will do that. I wear eyeliner everyday and one day i didn't and my mom kept bugging me all day that i looked sick. that's why i try to avoid makeup on a regular basis. and when i do wear it, it looks special. lol

maybe you usually over use make-up

It's a natural reaction, though. Make-up is meant to make one look more vibrant and attractive, wouldn't it make sense that taking it all off one day would cause others to think you are less vibrant and more sickly than normal?

Maybe, you shouldn't paint your face everyday, so people would know what you really look like.
