"Why do you wear makeup? You'd look so much better without it."
Excuse me, MATE. You are clearly misunderstood. I don't mean to sound superficial, but NO, I FRIGGIN' WOULD NOT LOOK BETTER WITHOUT MAKEUP ON.
And if you SAW me without makeup on? You would run crying to your mother like a little baby boy who is scared to go to sleep at night because of hideous monsters under his bed.
I am that monster!!
Don't get me wrong - some (very lucky) girls can pull off wearing no makeup and looking decent. I am not one of those girls. I look completely different, and not in a good way. My skin lacks colour, my eyes look downright naked. It's not pretty. This is why I do not leave the house without *at least* some foundation on. Call me shallow, but it's for society's own good. I don't want anyone to think a zombie apocalypse has begun.
Male friend or admirer, please shut your mouth. Do not make statements you know nothing about. Why does the beauty industry rake in billions of dollars a year? Definitely not because women everywhere are going "natural".
Next time you utter this ridiculous line to a girl, please alter your words a bit - suggest she wears less makeup, not NONE AT ALL. Or as I said - just don't open your mouth at all.
I leave you with a comparison:

...Know what I'm sayin?
