Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML

Don't worry OP, he probably meant that you looked prettier without it or something.

OP, you may just be applying too much make-up. Caking it on can have the opposite effect that you intended.

Reminds me of a girl I knew in high school that caked on her makeup. Her nickname, unknown to her, was Oompa Loompa. Did I mention it wasn't just foundation she caked on, but self tanner/bronzer? :/ There should be classes for this type of thing, lol. I used to be one of the ones that caked on foundation and cover up when my skin was really bad.

Whoops, I meant "than you intended." Oy, that's truly scary! I can just imagine how Oompa Loompa-esque she looked... :( I used to cake make-up on too, but luckily I've learned my lesson. :P

Same here. At least I didn't learn about bronzer until last year (apparently I lived under a rock? Hahaha) and I was taught how to use it instead of figuring it out for myself. Muuuuuch better. :D

Well, I call it a rock, but it's really a giant slab of ice. Of course I live in an igloo; what else do we live in, in Canada?

Naw, my igloo's next door to one, though. Timmy's on the left, hockey stadium on the right. Brb, gotta feed the beaver.

I agree. True beauty doesn't need an inch of makeup and an hour in front of a mirror. Being male, I don't know much about makeup, but I thought it was supposed to accent your looks, not drastically alter them.

^^ Hoorah! A man that gets it! It's meant to accent or enhance, not drastically alter or entirely cover up. :)

How do you know he didn't think YOU looked pretty and was telling his mom (who might wear makeup) that SHE looks ugly? Random thought. :) #91 Your dog is SO CUTE!!!

This can be taken both ways. He could be saying that his mom is ugly and you're pretty, or he could be saying that you're ugly, and his mom is pretty. In my opinion, you should take the former thought approach that the boy thought you were very pretty, and that his mom wasn't as good.

that just means you look beautiful with out make up :)

I'm not making any judgements on anyone's appearances here, but, where I live at least, girls tend to wear TOO MUCH make up and it makes them look hideous, especially on a hot day. I'm not a fan of makeup except on special occasions, my gf doesn't wear it, and I like it that way. I don't see why girls should try to hide their faces away behind a mask just to look better for people they don't know. Tbh, most girls are prettier without makeup or with a LITTLE BIT to cover up the blemishes/zits/imperfections if you want.

Maybe you should learn how to put makeup on or stop being so ugly or not go out in public or cake it on a bit thinner

maybe you should go for more of a natural look OP rather than trying to look like a supermodel...

YDI for putting on makeup on the subway. I hate you people.
