I say **** 'em. Make-up should only be worn on special occasions, or to cover up unsightly blemishes. So unless you're butt ugly and your *face* is considered an unsightly blemish on society, stop wearing make-up completely and save it for homecoming/prom/any other dance or date. Then you'll be wowing people instead of disturbing them (no offense intended).

My Dad's Mother said this to my Mom when she just married my Dad and went over her house without makeup on.

you must wear a crapload of makeup

Agree with #6. My girlfriend rarely wears any so when she throws on a little eye liner, she looks amazing. She can also roll out of bed looking great.

I think it's the eye makeup that does that. Some people will wear it every day, and if they don't one day, it's the first thing I notice cause it's so obvious. Their eyes suddenly look tired-ish and plain, which can often change the look of their whole face. I very rarely wear it, so when I do, I get a lot of compliments lol. Stop wearing eye makeup every day so people get used to you without it and see your real face, and learn to like it. Then you won't feel pressured to wear makeup every day to feel like you look nice, and when you do, people will wonder why you suddenly look even better than usual. Whatever other make-up you wear can come and go...if people notice it, they're looking too closely.

That's not an FML. That's happened to me before too, a few times.

Well. At least they care about you.

It's probably more that they arn't used to you not looking like an orange/lightbulb/barbie. A bit of a shock to the system if that makes sense. Give it a week or so and people will be used to it; to much of that stuff is fake anyway; make-up hides how you really look; false impressions!

i guess they're just not used to how you look without makeup is all. not really an fml..

this is a sign that you're wearing too much makeup everyday. maybe think about cutting it down little by little until you arrive at a reasonable amount.
