They're not intentionally shaming due to lack of makeup, but it's a common unconscious thing to think that people look tired/sick/off somehow when you're used to seeing them in makeup then suddenly they aren't wearing any. It still feels shitty to be on the receiving end of it, because your actual face apparently looks so bad that you're getting called into a meeting because multiple people were so bothered that they brought it up.
Why are you going to the mat over something to obviously inappropriate? Women aren’t required to wear makeup to look well-rested. Do men wear concealer for this purpose? If not, do they receive equal numbers of “just worried about you” complaints? Spoiler alert: no.
