i get where you're coming from but maybe if you want someone to SPECIFICALLY compliment your face, don't wear any makeup, feel me?
i don't think people's words should be taken so literally ya know? if someone is giving you a compliment then just say thanks and move on.
it's kind of like if i post an fotd and i get a lot of people saying "oh wow you look gorgeous" but then i post back "well, do you only think i'm gorgeous because i have on a sh*tload of makeup or do you think i'm really pretty without it?" people would be looking at me like "wtf??!!"
i mean, you're not being a bitch by any means but you have to think, what will satisfy you? do they have to specifically say "you AND your makeup are pretty"?
don't take this the wrong way but i think of lot of it is insecurity and you seem very sensitive to it.
i personally think you're pretty but for me, if i think you're pretty with the makeup then you're pretty without it. but i'm not going to make sure i explain that to someone for fear they may only think it's the makeup i think is pretty. makeup is pretty on it's own in the jar. i call makeup pretty all the time but if i say YOUR makeup is pretty then it obviously has something to do with the application and the face that it's on, feel me?
i see the comments may hurt you but keep in mind, everybody has their own preference so maybe somebody doesn't think you're pretty..... who cares? that's just how they feel
i wouldn't take it so seriously. if the makeup makes you feel better then run with it. don't expect others to make you feel better. especially with this because then you'll never be satisfied with anything anyone says, ya know?
