Working with kids, I get a few.  Thought I'd throw this out there and see what amusing things have been asked/said to you about your face (as in the one you apply, not the one you grew haha).  Mine are mostly kids. . .

- 'Do you have to get up an hour early to put your eyelashes on?'  (They're natural)
- 'Miss, do you sometimes put the mascara stick in your eye accidentally coz my Mum does'
- 'Why do you colour in your face Miss?'
- 'Your eyeshadow matches your top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

Hehehe actually the only person who comments on my makeup is my darling hubby, and my IG followers.  There is 2 people who I trust will tell me the truth about my make up though.

I'm a total son of a ladydog at work *see Shaza I love that ad too lol* so I think most of them are too scared to comment on my looks, frankly I wouldn't care if they did.   People must be used to me now though as I don't even get a second glance if I wore black lipstick or neon nail polish.  I'm a chameleon!  *oOOoooo mystic sounds*

Hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one Chikoboo! The funniest comment I've ever gotten was my neice - who is 2 - she looked at my lipstick, touched it, looked at her fingers and goes... "yuck" and walked away. I probably get comments behind my back and if they're nasty I don't care, just goes to show people have nothing better to talk about than my fabulous self ;-p

Reading these comments made me think back to when I was back in England with my then 2 year old niece.  She didn't care to say what she truely felt and that often meant what I was wearing either on my face or clothing.  I vividly recall her tutt at my bright red lips one day saying that "aunty kir kir looks like a clown today" but it was laughed off and nothing else thought about it, just put down to a toddler musing.

I don't get too many comments, I did used to get a guy at work who always commented on my lipstick choices I think in his own strange way it was a compliment. Well considering he noticed what I was wearing that's how I'm taking it :)

My mother-in-law told me that she hated the way I do my eyebrows. She said they stand out too much and should look more natural. Haha. My natural eyebrows are super disappointing, so let's just say I didn't take her advice!

I've had nice comments since I've been making an effort to use more than foundation, lippy and mascara. 
I'm so used to comments about appearance from young children who I have taught off and on - invariably they will say the most hilarious things. 
My own children have been known to disown their mother when I've gone too far with makeup colours that are more suited to a younger person. That's ok, it's kinda funny to make them squirm - makes up for all the embarrassing moments they created as youngsters.

My most awkward moments are probably when someone compliments my style and I'm saying 'thank-you' while thinking 'if THIS person likes my style, I'm doing something wrong!' 

One of my workmates used to be a fan of my hair styles/colours. He especially liked it when I did my fringe blue. He was a middle-aged American geologist who wore Hawaiian shirts and socks with sandals...

I know this is an old thread, but instead of starting a very similar one, I thought I’d revive this. 

Tonight I applied a “no smell” NZ brand of self-tanning lotion after my shower and casually mentioned to hubby that if the bathroom smells slightly metallic that it’s because of the self-tan I just used (he was on his way to go shower). Two minutes later, he shouts out, “It smells like you just bathed in the blood of your victims, in here!” Haha, thanks “no smell” self-tan.  I can still smell the metallic scent on my skin 3 hours later ... I don’t think I’ll be buying this one again. 
@Silvene hahaha haha! You just made my morning!

Once, a child I was holding tried to pick a large mole off my collarbone saying "You've got pooh on you...." 

Same child at another time was touching her eyebrows and referring to them as 'fur' .

Not make up but Sophia’s one reminded me of a little girl who once very politely sad to my mum: “excuse me but you need to pull your boobies up” Looooooolllll.

Great thread! I can't think of anything luckily, cos I embarrass pretty easily about anything connected to my appearance.

Not makeup related specifically, but the 6-year-old I nanny once shouted "what is that thing on you head?!!" with a look of utter disgust when I tried out the '90s bandana look. I did not try that look again.

Recent ones are usually about my eyelashes and asking who did them - they’re my own but they so often don’t believe me! It ends up all sorts of awkward!
