Fathers have the funniest responses to make-up, am I right!? My father has some pretty hilarious and sometimes downright hostile views about my make-up. Curious to know if I was the only daughter subjected these daily wisecracks, I decided to ask around. Turns out, fathers have a knack for passing absurd comments about their daughter’s make-up! So much for being *LIT* AF and airbrushed to perfection, Dad!
1. What have you done to your face? Why do you do this to yourself?!
It’s called make-up, dad!
2. *Facepalm*
That gesture speaks louder than words! It was all the validation I needed! Gee, thanks, DAD, I just spent 20 minutes beating my face(with a beauty blender, I am not the hostile one).
3. You look like a ghost, please take that off!
DAD, I just spent Rs 4,500 on this setting powder!
4. You wear too much make-up!
This is sunscreen, DAD!!
5. Why do you always have to look like a monkey when we go out?!
Because I’m fabulous!
6. What is this war paint! Are you really going to leave the house looking like this?
No, Dad! I’m going to spend the next 10 minutes blending away all my problems!
7. You look like a witch! Are you still watching Zee Horror Show?
So much for my vampy lipstick!
8. I’m not giving you any more money, I know you’re going to buy more rubbish (Read: make-up)
Pretty Pleaaaaaaseee dad!
9. You look better without make-up!
Really, Dad? Would you say that to an artist? Would his canvas look better without paint? Don’t answer that.
10. That’s TOO much make-up we’re just going for a walk!!!
This is my no make-up look!
I’m sure he means well, and this is his way of telling you that you were born beautiful! But Dad, I like wearing make-up, it makes me feel…the way that Mercedez makes you feel! So, please indulge me.
*pouts and gets what she wants* Thanks, Dad! You the best!
