My eyebrows. Always! But no one likes it when I tell them it took years of plucking to get the shape right. An instant result is what people are after!

Lashes too and eye liner. I tell them Its actually just Diorshow giving the illusion of a perfect line of eyeliner. No one believes that either.

Lastly is skin. People inquire as to how I keep my skin smooth and blemish free and the answer is....... soap actually! I have an appalling skin care routine and I'm actually glad people think I'm lying when I say Palmolive hand wash is my choice of facial cleanser

[deven.marie]

my eyebrows! i get asked about/complimented on my eyebrows several times a day while im at work.

i think i should name them.

[LilSphinx]

I've never worked at a makeup counter, before, but I get asked quite regularly about my eyeshadow. I like to wear jewel-tone purples from NYX and Milani, they make the green in my hazel eyes really pop! It's very amusing and quite flattering to me.

I have very long strawberry-blond hair (used to be a light blond, but as I'm getting older my hair is getting darker ). My hair reaches to the back of my knees, no joke. I get stopped ALOT and asked about what shampoos/conditioners I use, when the last time was that I cut my hair, IF I'll ever cut my hair, how I use the toilet without dirtying my hair, or if I sit on my hair alot, as well as 'how' I wash my hair, etc.
-every time I get stopped my fiancee rolls his eyes. He's gotten used to it and is very patient if not continually amused. It's always the same battery of questions, never anything new.

Otherwise, that's it for me.

I don't work in the industry but people always ask for my skin. I don't wear foundation or anything.

[minni4bebe]

I am always asked about my eyeshadow and complexion. It's funny when I am at MAC and people ask for my help...I'm like yeaaa I need to work here! lol

[boudoirblonde]

lashes. I change my mascara quite a lot, but I get asked most when Im wearing zoomlash (lol nope dont work for mac )

People always ask what I use for eyeliner too :P but as said above - its more practice than product!

[Tahti]

I just get asked how I stay so pale/why I'm so pale/why don't I tan.
And I also get asked why I don't dye my hair (I've discovered that in Ireland having red hair is a bad thing.)
I get told to eat more also.
Sometimes I get asked about my eye makeup.

So nothing positive really ;/

[hawaii02]

My kids as well as myself-always get the eyes question. My kids have the lashes though.

[KJBarbie]

Skin, hair, and teeth.

I can tell you where to get my hair...but as far as the others....

You must come into contact with a lot of people with bad taste because I think you look great!

dont listen to them - you have perfect skin!
embrace being different to all the blond/orange girls out there! i totally think you would rock a redhair dita von teese type of look!

[VintageAqua]

Brows, lips and eye shape. Whenever I'm at work wearing Rebel or Dare You, I sold like 10 tubes, haha.

People always think I'm different ethnicities as well. It's funny because I get asked anything from Chinese to Puerto Rican to Multi-racial when I'm really Eastern European. While I'm proud of my heritage, sometimes it would just be easier to say "Yes".

[HerGreyness]

I guess I could say I get asked a little bit about ____ everything!... what eyeshadow I use, why I am so pale, why I don't have wrinkles (cuz I don't tan, that's why!), what lipstick I am wearing (sometimes two mixed with another lg!), why why... etc. ad nauseum.. so, I smile like a sphinx and provide whatever information that won't lead to a 3 hour discussion

[crystrill]

My eyebrows! I won't lie though, I LOVE MY EYEBROWS if I do say so myself! LOL!

Complexion. I always find it weird though. I'll be like... "Umm, *make funny face*, thanks?!?" But I've had a few people tell me, "OMG you're so beautiful. You have such a pretty complexion/skin tone. Where are you from?" LMAO at when I respond with "here".

And usually I only wear foundation to work because I like to sleep as late as possible, but when I DO wear eyeshadow, blush, etc.... I always get compliments and I always end up "selling my look".

i get the tat question too, like everyday, several times a day, i think my artist should put me on retainer with the amount of people i send him hahaha. i just got a new one on my inner right forearm, its a play on the traditional poison girl but instead of crossbones she has 2 lipsticks crossed under her head and i tell people lipsticks are my poison. other than my tats i always get compliments on my hair, even when the color is faded and the cut is grown out to me, people still ask me who does it and tell me how hot it is.

as for makeup, i get compliments on my brows and no one believes they are drawn on. alot of customers like my shadows but are intimated to try to blend 5+ products on the eye.

i wish i got compliments on my skin! unfortunatly my skin sucks =(. i wish i didnt have to wear foundation, that would be awesome!

[girloflowers]

i get comments on my skin all the time, and they ask what i use (i usually lie and say i use the skincare we sell... i really only like exfoliate every so often and wash it when i can be bothered and of course remove makeup every night.).
being told i look like a porcelain doll (" So pale! So smooth! Like peaches and cream! How do you keep so pale?") Gets old and kind of embarrasing heh.

[MsWestchesterNY]

bump.....
this is a good thread

although this is irrelevant, I get asked about my hair...... but I don't tell them I wear wigs!! ^_^

[Arshia]

eyes!

[HersheysKiss]

My complexion, It makes me feel good when people ask about it because i suffered with cystic acne for 15 years. Its all in the bobbi brown concealer and georgio armani primer!

[HerGreyness]

My skin -- at my age I should look prunier

[MakeupJunkie88]

Usually my eyebrows and eyeshadow. And skin. People ask if I use stencils for my eyebrows because of how straight and pointy I make them. As for eyeshadow, people typically go crazy for my purples. And skin, I have no idea how it stays smooth.
