I suppose that how you tell them depends on who that person is in relation to you. If the person is one of my siblings, or other family member in the same age range as me, I take the direct approach. If appropriate, I make a comment when they commit the faux pas. Otherwise, I draw the other person to the side and let him/her know how they embarrassed me and ask them not to do so again. Sometimes you may see some humor in the situation a little later, and waiting for that enlightenment before you speak to the other person helps them not take your comments personally.
If the other person is in the generation at the same level as my parents, grandparents, or older, I think long and hard before I comment about them embarrassing me. Sometimes the better part of valor is silence. There are times, however, when the older generation needs reminders on what constitutes good manners: those times require delicate handling, as you want to avoid a family rumble.
Low-key and informing the offending person in such a way that avoids embarrassing that person always works better than trying to embarrass them in retribution. In some cases, you may realize that the offending person is unable to act in a way other than the way they acted during the offending incident. If that is the case, cut your losses and let it go.
Good luck!

Be straightforward and direct to the point so as not to leave anything unclear. Be nice, though when you approach the person who embarrassed you. No need to show emotions by screaming and pointing fingers. Those acts are uncalled for. The important thing is for you to come across as a person who needs answers.

Now is as good as time as any to start standing up for yourself. Look him in the eyes and tell him. Do not be afraid and do not blink. The more you stand up for yourself the easier it will get the next time. Also anyone that makes it a habit of mistreating you...you need to back away from them. To thine own self be true.

it depends on what he/she did that embarrassed you and if they ment to do it but if it was an honest mistake I would say pull that person to the side a let them know that ypu didn't appreciate what they did and you would appreciate if they didn't do it again because you have feelings

You tell him right now or for sure he will do it again.If it happens a second time just slap him up the side of his head.

Say, "I know wasn't intentional, but what just happened (as opposed to 'what you did') was really embarrassing for me."
That'll keep him from getting defensive.
