Touch Up

So, I wear my lipstick all the time whenever I am outside. And it is part of my office wear. I don't have to touch up at regular intervals but I make sure I do it compulsorily after I have my lunch. Being a pro at it, I hardly take a minute to apply it.

Whenever there are team lunches too, I go the washroom, apply it and quickly join the team. I have never made my team to wait for me because of this act. Its been quite sometime that I am in this industry and never ever I have faced any problem because of this. In fact, at one or two places where I have worked, there were females like me who needed to touch up their lip shades after lunch either at cafeteria or outside.

But, in this company where I am presently working, whenever I start moving to the washroom, my colleagues taunt me, "hey..come back soon..".. both the genders. It is embarrassing to a large extent. I do not want to sound rude to them but all I can get it is I am not interfering in their affairs nor I annoy them. How does my applying a simple lipstick be annoying to them to such an extent that they shout it in front of the whole team? And to be very frank, they are very much aware that I touch up every time after lunch in the office as well.

Whatever, my concern is, I need some diplomatic replies that would shut them forever. Anyone who can seriously suggest something like that?
