Who sets those expectations? I hope it's not your boss, personally telling you to wear makeup. I hope it's not a husband or SO telling you you need to wear makeup to be presentable.
I'd say it's very obvious that the flippant comments are informed by culture, and not yours or their personally set expectations. (I mean, unless you have an asshole boss that does try to set expectations, but I'm not hearing that in what was said so far)
I'm my boss and my husband prefers no makeup, so I'm in the clear there. ๐
I hear it from clients, store clerks, or other random people I interact with. It's the new "you should smile more" for me.
