TIFU by trying to brush a crumb off my co-workers face

I (25f) tried to brush a crumb off my (27m) co-workers face. I am kinda new to this job and we have to wear masks at work so I’ve never seen this co-workers full face before. Our supervisor planned a going away party for someone so all of us had to be at this restaurant to participate in the celebration. It was at one of those nice restaurants that’s kinda dim inside and they serve you fresh bread while you wait. So everyone is eating bread making crumbs and small talk and since I’m the newer person I’m just doing my best to be friendly and not a statue or on my phone. My second mistake. My first one was showing up to this on my off hours I should’ve lied and said I was sick or my car broke literally anything but no I just had to go be sociable. Anyways I start talking to a co-worker that is the alternative shift for the same thing I do and he’s pretty laidback. And I don’t know what got into me if it was the fact that my most recent social interactions have been with family and friends or how I typically have a “mom vibe” but I told this man “hey you got some crumbs on your face…” (he tries to brush them off nothing) “ it’s still there..do you want me to get it?” He’s says yes. YALL. I go to pick the big crumb off like this 🤏 but last second I decide to go for a sweeping hand motion instead. AND THANK GOD BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A CRUMB BUT A MOLE!! COULD YOU IMAGINE. I 🤏 OOPS SORRY GOT YOUR MOLE!! I THOUGHT I WAS A CRUMB BUT IT WAS YOUR MOLE AND I PULLED IT OFF. Which I definitely would have attempted if I didn’t try to brush it off last second. I would have turned to dust and blown away infinity war style. Anyway he simply goes “didja get it?” “Yup sure did.” Luckily only one other person saw this lil event unfold but I’m not sure if she knew the full extent of my fuck up. Anyways yall I went to hide in the bathroom until the food showed up.
Thank goodness he’s alternate shift I can not face this guy again. I feel like he knows I thought his mole was a crumb.

TL;DR: Was at a work dinner. Thought my coworkers mole was a bread crumb and went to brush it off. Was not a crumb in fact there were no crumbs. Went to hide in bathroom till food came.
