Sharing your opinions of how others chose to dress or act is weird unless you are doing it to influence others. Trying to influence people by belittling them is rude.
You could be saying it about how someone dresses, or dances, or what bike they chose to ride.
It is unfortunate that men belittling women about their makeup is so pervasive in our culture that after at least three generations of people highlighting how hurtful it is, people still think their right to state their opinion of random people is more important than people’s right to go through their day without being accosted.
It’s usually not complete strangers, but friends and partners: “you look better with less makeup”, “why are you wearing that?”, “see you look good without makeup!”, “are you OK, you look sick?”, “what’s wrong, are you sad?”
God forbid men have a preference women don’t approve…
Having a preference and whining are not the same thing.
Things that are fine to say in relevant social contexts:

How common is it that random people just tell women on face these things? Asking out of genuine curiosity

Well that’s definitely a take. People can’t have experiences of others and share them.
God forbid a woman doesn’t want to hang out with you.
(repeat for all women until no woman wants to hang out with you)
I’m sorry, that sounds awfully close to whining about women wearing makeup.
God forbid someone have an opinion on makeup that isn’t positive! Stone them!
“I prefer it when you don’t shave your legs”. So? Keep it to yourself weirdo, I’m not doing it for you.
Found the manchild who cannot get it up. Sad.
Oh, attack the assumed sexual capabilities of your target, very original.
