Why do people remember my face?

Most people can remember me. I'm quite shy and I don't like it. When I was at college, I used to go to a shop sometimes to buy things and it kind of made me shy. So, one day I changed my appearance (dress, hairstyle etc and wore a mask) and went there. They still recognized me. It has often happened that professors who we had very less classes with forgot all my friends but remembered my face. Living at a students' dormitory further made me confirm it. At our building almost 600-700 girls from the same age group stayed. The office workers, cooks and the security guards could still easily recognize me from the very first week. When I got my job, around 300 people were interviewed for it in 3 consecutive days and only 2 were shortlisted. After I joined the work everyone there recalled seeing me at the interview, they in fact approached me to tell me that they recalled seeing me.

What can be the reason? It often makes me insecure because I feel way too visible for a shy person. Sometimes I feel like there's a distinguishable flaw in my appearance. There's nothing unique on my face though like any mark or anything. How to be less visible? Thanks.
