When a guy notices your makeup?

Anonymous
I was at lunch 2 seats down from him (same side) and he asked "Are you wearing makeup?" Well I'm not going to lie to anyone or him, so I answer, "Yeah..." He says, "I noticed that you are." Then that was it.
And I use natural colors, I don't cake it on either. It's not a makeup artists job, but definitely not a bad looking case. I'd say I'm pretty good at it. All I used was a bit of foundation to even my color, a pretty (light/natural) brown, and some mascara. It's not like I went overboard on it. That drives me insane seeing girls with 7 pounds of makeup on their face.
What do you think he meant?
One of my friends heard him and she said,"Don't ever say that to a girl." After I told him that, yes I was. I don't think he responded to either of us, and we're somewhat friends, but not real close. Maybe he couldn't think of what to say. Was it a complement or negative?
