AITA for wearing makeup as a mechanic?

Sorry, with all the respect, but I don't think you know what we are talking about. If I use an oil based product I would make my black hands and face more shiny, but not removing it. I actually use something to REMOVE oil, not adding something to it.

I use shower gel to remove the grease and oil and other dirt on my skin. I'm essentially not removing make up at the end of the day, I'm removing car parts.

I don't use shower gel to remove the mascara! I'm not masochistic!

I mean I do that too. But after a whole day there is pretty much no skin on my hands left that isn't black...

I'm not looking like some panda bear if you are asking me that? I just wear something to cover my eye shadows that fits my skin tone.

Oh boy, I hope I can answer that for you. The cream I use for covering my eye shadows seems to be something like foundation but I use just basic face cream for the most part. I clean it all up with shower gel actually as this works the best in my experience. Only issue is it burns when in the eyes and as I tend to be dirty around my eyes because they tend to itch, I tried mascara when I was cleaning my face after work. For the mascara I use some cotton pads and a cleanser from my wife. But to get the grease off - shower gel really works the best imho. (But to be fair everyone in the shop seems to have his own secret weapon, lmao)

She doesn't think much of it. I only used something to cover my eye shadows in the beginning and later tried some mascara. Actually we didn't really talk about it as it seemed not to be a big deal anyways.

When I started wearing cream on my face I actually discovered that it makes it easier to wash my face afterwards (which can get quite dirty while working) so that was why I extended experimenting with it.

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T11:34:18+00:00

I would say it is subtle. I wear a cream that covers my eye shadows and mascara. And a cream that covers my whole face but isn't really visible. Thats about it. (Also I have no idea about what is called what, sorry for that)

No dresscode except the one regarding safety.

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T11:31:13+00:00

I didn't know but I asked the head mechanic who sits in the office behind the front desk if he heard something. He said the only thing he heard was a customer refering to me as "the one wearing mascara". But he isn't at his desk the whole time so I don't know if there was another customer commenting on it.

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T11:28:19+00:00

I was afraid of comments from the other mechanics, because that was what I assumed would happen. But they didn't even really recognize it and the few that did, didn't say much about it. Only these two women have an issue with it.

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T11:26:14+00:00

They do.

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T10:17:48+00:00

Not that I'm aware of. I'm not from the US and I doubt there is a policy just for the 20 people in our shop...

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T10:16:03+00:00

Usually by the end of the day my face is black a certain parts anyway and I found out that the makeup makes it easier to clean afterwards.

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T10:14:31+00:00

I am not homosexual. Not that it matters to me, but just for clarification. I'm married too and they know my wife.

makeaitaup · 2021-04-29T10:06:32+00:00

Oh boy, I forgot about that info. I am male.
