Villagers won't stop talking about my face

Couldn't find anyone else online talking about it when Googling things like "villagers talking about face", it only brings up articles about "funny Animal Crossing villager conversations" or old ACNL face guides. My friend brought it up and I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this.

I've been wearing face paint for a whole year and haven't changed it. Just eyebrows, like most people do. I didn't get this dialogue until one of the updates from January or February. I farm for photos. I move someone in, I talk to them and give them presents, and as soon as I get their photo, I move them out as soon as I can. Needless to say, I've seen just about every piece of dialogue in the game, and this hasn't showed up ONCE until after one of the updates from earlier this year, I think January.

I noticed the Snooty villagers doing it first, with a line something like "What is different... about your face? Well, I like it!". Lazy villagers will say something like "Are you going to keep your face like that forever?" or "It looks like someone scribbled on your face while you slept!". A Jock villager commented on my face too but I don't remember what he said. I don't talk to any of my other non-farming villagers (permanents... lol) so I don't know what other personalities have to say, but my friend said just about everyone on their island has said something at some point.

I will move in a brand-new villager who should KNOW I have face paint on, I will visit them the next day, and they'll say "Wow something is different with your face isn't there?" even though I have changed NOTHING for a YEAR.

What's up with this? It's annoying. I talk to my villagers 5 times (the limit you can talk to them in one go) and every time they bring up my face ONCE. Whenever I talk to someone they always bring up what I did the previous day, ask me what my second file's favourite food/movie/etc is, and they say something about my face. Remember when villagers would talk about how often you're wearing an article of clothing? Do they still do that? I've been wearing the same exact outfit for weeks and haven't gotten a comment about it. They only want to talk about my face.
 
Are you using any of the new Halloween eyes? I used to use the yellow eyes and would get those comments all the time but when I took them off the dialogue disappeared

I thought this could be a cause back when I had the pink Halloween eyes. I changed them into the regular default green and I'm still getting comments. My friend is using the default grey eyes.
 
I don't use face paint, but I never changed my clothes since I started the game (for the most part) and they won't shut up about that. I hear people say NH has the most dialogue out of all the games, but mine just want to comment about my clothes and what I did the other day all the time. Gets old. I can only imagine farming for pictures makes it even worst.
 
They've never made comments about my face except when I get stung by wasps.

And yes. They still make comments about your clothes if you wear them a while. I think Zucker used the word grody. I think my villagers think I'm a slob... Julian even asked me if I had showered that day. 😅
 
Oh gosh these villagers are so annoying in this game. Not just commenting about your face, but also commenting about the clothes you wear. I've been wearing my custom outfit since last year and everytime I talk to them they talk about my outfit. Who created it and what Town it was from.

However, I found out that if you use the wand outfits the villagers for whatever reason stop commenting on your outfit. I don't know why that works but since I registered my custom outfit onto the wand and changed into to it, it made the villagers not say anything about my clothes.

Omg. I didn't realize that was why the villagers were commenting things like this to me! I use the halloween orange eyes because they look like a light/honey brown to me, which is one of my favorite eye colors so I totally forgot they were technically supposed to be "spooky" haha!

At first when I saw this thread title I thought it'd be about the Lazy villager's little "big ole adorable round head" comment so I laughed. I haven't gotten to find eyebrows that I like on my character's face yet but this is kind of a frustrating deal! :( Maybe I will just refrain, because I think that would frustrate me too.

Nah, you don't really have to talk to them ever to get their photo. Just give a daily gift and then ignore them until the next day's gift, if that's what you want to do.
 
The animals have said stuff about my face before. My character is always wearing either an eyebrow design or a bang design. She also has the bright purple eyes, and I've had a few different villagers say somethin about my face or hair, even a lazy said what you put in your example 'are you gonna keep your face like that forever?' They also make comments about me changing my face/hair when I recently have not, like you've also said 'wow is there somethin different about your face?' I notice this mostly with lazies, snooties and crankies.

Do you maybe use the mirror alot? Even if you don't change your face paint? I do go to the mirror often do maybe that's what's triggering it?

Not a bad way to do things, and it's probably the best way for most of the time lol. I started talking to them more in the hopes that they'll give me an errand to do, or if they want to buy a fish off of me or something.
 
I've only been getting these comments for one of my alt characters that has eyes from the Halloween update.
 
I haven't seen any of my villagers talking about my main character's face, and he still has the lighter brown/orange eye color (to reference Wild World), so it isn't the eye color that causes it. I don't use face paint so maybe that's it...
 
On the other hand, I use face paint for freckles and I don't think they ever pointed that out o.o
 
Yeah, ever since I changed my default green eyes to the purple Halloween ones they will not stop commenting about my face. I’ve had the same face paint for months so I don’t think that’s the reason.
 
I have nothing of value to add to the discussion; I just wanted to say that the title of this post made me chuckle.
 
I've started getting comments about my "makeup" from some villagers, and I'm in the same position - just wearing the same eyebrows I always have.

It also annoys me because I don't like that they are insinuating that my eyebrows on my character are drawn on - THESE ARE ALL NATURAL BAYBEEE

I mean they are drawn on technically... but that is not part of my eyebrow headcanon.
 
That's funny. I've worn freckles almost since Day One, and no one mentions it. I change outfits on a daily basis, and hair a couple times a week, depending on what looks good with a particular outfit. They comment on my clothes and hairstyle, but I've only had comments about my face if I talk to them after getting stung. Not sure what has triggered your villagers.
 
This happens to me too. I've had a mole design on my face forever, but a couple months ago I decided to changed to pink eyes and they won't shut up about it. :\
 
I just put on vampire cape a few days ago and same thing -- lots of talk about it. Vampire capes really get the Normal villagers going -- who knew! 🤪
