I have this problem too and I call it my "comfortable mirror syndrome".
Basically, what it is, is this. We get accustomed to one "fav" mirror at home whereby we do our hair and makeup and if we go outside(in the real light) we can see that we have missed bits, ie of our makeup, mascara or eyeliner or lipstick.
Of course people are going to notice it outside.
The best thing to do is to apply your makeup under really good light or even go outside in the daylight to apply it.
Have you ever thought people may be looking at you because you are just nice to look at? It's just a thought.
Invest in a good mirror with plenty of light or apply outside.
Don't worry too much, you probably do look fine. We are our own worst critics!!

I feel that way too, sometimes. It could have to do with the type of lighting you have at home versus when you are "out". But more likely it's just psycological - we feel safe at home, and confidence "looks" good, but when we're out in public we feel less confident, so we become more critical of ourselves.
People probably aren't looking at you anymore than they look at anyone else, assuming you don't have toilet paper stuck to your shoe. Assuming you don't have any physical deformities, they are probably looking at you because you are pretty and/or dressed nicely.
If it seems like someone is looking at you, smile at them. If they return your smile, then they were looking at you for a good reason. If they keep the same expression on their face they weren't looking at you.

It's strange but i have the same thing happen to me. It has to do with Lighting. If you do your makeup under a yellow tinged light you will look different when you are in natural light. the solution is a little more expensive but you should go to the store and get one of the natural light bulbs for where ever you get ready in your house. Trust me you will see a big difference.
