Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML

Don't worry, that's just society's way of saying "My beauty standards are screwed up".

Use that to your advantage and go home sick for the day

Omg the same that happens to me too when I don't wear make up :(

I don't think people understand this, it's NOT an insult, if you see someone more pale/whiter than they usually are, you assume they are ill. If they were always that white/pale, then they wouldn't think you were ill, that's all. It's not that you actually look bad, but rather you don't usually look that white is all.

did you tell them that you were not wearing make up? I mean when I see my girlfriend without make up I don't insult her...sorry but its a split...I can't vote...

Makeup is an art. It helps you look more enhanced, so obviously, no makeup means no enhancement. Especially when it comes to bronzer or blush, you can look very sick without it. The decision to wear it is just about personal style, much like how people choose their clothes for when they're at home or out during the weekend or at work. Different situations call for different clothes/makeup. In the same way you don't wear 7 inch stilettos and a bikini to an office, you don't wear a smokey eye with lots of bronzer and hot pink lipstick to work either. I don't think OP falls into this category.

So, you're saying when I wake up at quarter to seven in the morning everyday, because I'm tired that means I'm sick? Or did I read your comment wrong?

I get this all the time. My ex boyfriends are the only ones who tell me I look good everyone else asks if I'm sick or ok.

It's ok OP. I didn't wear makeup to work yesterday. One guy commented, "So you're one of those girls who's made up pretty and not naturally pretty."
