A shark on beer is a beer engineer

Guy From Class: What's that on your neck? Is that a hickey?
Me: No. I fell down.
GFC: [Raises skeptical eyebrow.]
Me: I fell down onto a shark.
GFC: You got savaged.
Me: Right, 'cause it was all with the...teeth.
GFC: Can't you put some concealer or foundation or something on that?
Me: No. I don't have those things.
GFC: What? All women have those things.
Me: Well, I can see you are busy with your stupid, there, so I'll let you get back to that.
GFC: Hey, I'm not the one who's dating the marine life.

oooh, hickey! oooh!
Guy From Class is only calling you out because he is jealous that you get action.
and he likely gets less.

I also don't own concealer or foundation.
But I only date land mammals,
and the occasional bird.

actually, most of the women i know don't seem to use those things. or do they? would i recognize it if i saw it?

if it looks like they have a second skin over their normal face, most likely they're using that stuff. especially if they say things before leaving the house such as, 'hang on a sec, i've got to put my face on.'

I actually do have such things. I wasn't quite brave enough to include them in my cathartic display of throwing out cosmetics a few years ago, and they lurk in my cabinet waiting for periods of elevated self-doubt. It would be handy if I dated sharks and needed to cover up the evidence, but as it happens I only date vegetables. Well, kind of on the line between vegetable and grain, actually, depending on cooking method. Not particularly savage, either way.

Isn't there a scene in Mulan where the matchmaker's covered her in makeup and she uses her sleeve to wipe it away on one side, leaving her with one half of a normal face and one half of a scary kabuki face?

Sorry, the "I have to put my face on" reminded me of that.
