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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". 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, 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 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, I decided to not wear makeup for the first time. My boyfriend asked me if I got punched in the face. FML
Today, a colleague said I looked “different” and I thought it was a compliment. It turns out they meant that I looked “tired and stressed.” I smiled awkwardly and said, “Thanks?” while internally dying. FML
Today, I asked my kids if I looked good before going to work. Smiling, they told me I looked wonderful. It wasn't until I got to work and looked into the mirror until I noticed my left eyebrow was gone. FML

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

All depends. If when you put on make-up it looks like Mimi Bobek and you put it on with a spray can than that may be your problem. Drastic changes would lead to the above comment. I have to agree with #2. If it was more for being pastie and such get a tan. That usually gets everyone to stop telling me I look like death warmed over.

Yeah, this happens to me a lot. I have black circles under my eyes, just from genetics, and if I don't wear any eye make up my eyes look a lot smaller. I just look rather tired if I don't wear make up.

That's your fault - if you didn't wear every day such heavy make-up people wouldn't wonder what the hell was wrong with you when you had none on. It's like the people who complain they can't go a day without because others tell them they look pasty - of course you look pasty, any other day you have a ton of blush on, how could you not look pasty compared to your "normal" coloring. You'd look just as surprisingly different if you painted your face purple every day for a year and then suddenly showed up for work without painting it at all - people would be asking what happened to your color

I prefer the natural look to tell you the truth. Get at me, OP.
