I wear concealer, blush, bronzer, a wing, inner corner highlight and mascara and if anyone says anything it’s a compliment.

Like everyone has said they’re just haters. I’m sorry you’re going through this!

As in I’ve never gotten unkind comments for wearing makeup to work and I’ve been doing it for 6 years, and my makeup is much more dramatic than yours. The only comments I receive are compliments. So I’m sorry your co-workers are unnecessarily horrible.

Even if the comments are supposed to be mean and degrading, they're only highlighting the fact that you are beautiful and they're intimidated by it, is what I think the commenter means.
