I only get it from my mom and MIL. (And from salespeople at makeup counters...but that is their job!)
My mom always asks if I'm sick when we FaceTime...I should put blush on.
MIL just retired and she has been reading back issues of Ladies Home Journal. She told me I should try a vanilla or bone colored eyeshadow on my brow bone to look more awake. Lol

Uh, my boss used to comment all the time and ask if I forgot to put make up on that day....
Eta: my boss is a dude!

Nope, but most of the women in my life aren't crazy fashionable lol.

No. I think I must look like a lost cause.
But my best friend was once a beautician so she gives me all the advice I could ever need.

Just my mom. She is always preaching about the importance of sunblock

Umm.... I have an aunt who raves about a proper bra fitting, but I don't think it's personal.

A strange man once approached me at a bus stop and told me to eat raisins to clear my acne. Oddly enough, I ended up working in a raisin processing plant. Raisins don't clear acne.

Ugh. My grandma does. Drives me batty. She's had over a decade to realize that I just don't care. I don't do makeup. I don't "dress for my man." Somehow I still have a great husband and the world doesn't stop spinning. I try to humor her and let her tell me about all her favorite stuff because she has always been very into that sort of thing.
@Corduroy: Do you have any raisins you could throw at him? That is just... strange.

@Corduroy: WTF?! that's beyond rude!
rarely. my nana used to like to talk about weight, does that count? like, 'oh, you look so much better when you're not heavy. don't you want to wear your nice clothes again?' no, i hate myself, thanks for reminding me. one of my BFFs is a hair stylist and sometimes he will make suggestions about my hair, but i appreciate his input.

@.twist.: Oh...I'd drop hell on that guy! Jerk.
@Corduroy: Same here...what makes guys think it's ok to comment on a woman's face like that? I want to dropkick this guy for you!
A few times in my life, but only from women. My cousin insisted that I wear horrid lipstick for her wedding. My lips look terrible with lipstick and I'm more of a lip gloss type person. Needless to say, they looked like maroon raisins.
A few people have commented at work that I should wear makeup more often when I actually do show up in it. I take that as more of a compliment than a diss though...

Yep. I've gotten comments on how I wear (used to, at least) my eyeliner, sometimes about my eyebrows. My mom's favorite is that I need lipstick.
