Should I prioritize wearing the Niqab for modesty after experiencing discomfort from a man's comment about my lips, or should I focus on improving my faith as suggested by another Muslim sister?

Thank you for your question. An inappropriate comment from someone else doesn't necessitate a change on your behalf unless you think there is something genuinely pointed out that you need to address. The onus of the inappropriate comment lies on the one that made it. Niqab is not obligatory for women according to most jurists in our current times.
May you always be successful
