Obviously wind chills of -50F can sting your face, and -50<32, so yes.
But wind chills that are very close to 32F don't really sting at all. Unless the wind chill is below 15 F, it won't really sting me at all, even if I've been outside for an hour or more.

Usually it is only bad as soon as you get outside, but once you start moving around it is fine.
I don't cover face unless wind chill is around -35C or colder.
I voted "No" though since 32F is much warmer than -35C.
Windchills above 20f aren't too bad. You guys should go up north to Minnesota where they deal with temperatures below 0F (without the windchill) every year! Haha.
I was amazed one day I was walking downtown in Toronto and it was 35 F outside, light rain and a bit of wind. I saw many guys with totally exposed ears and most of them their skin colour looked normal, despite the cold wind and rain. Mine would have been bright pink for sure if I did not have a hat. I have always been this way, so I don't think I have any particular condition causing my face to be this cold.
Anyways, please vote, as well as feel free to add comments if you want.
No bud, come to Britain and you'll find 20C with windchills can sting... By the way I'm white British, but I love hot weather!
But I am sure the OP is referring to "sting" as the feeling of needles being poked into the skin and it hurts so much you need to RUN inside.
We get that here during cold spells like this morning with a -43C windchill. It is EXTREMELY painful if you walk directly into the wind uncovered, you can't even feel your face if you are out long enough.
I just doubt it can feel THAT bad if it is above 0C windchill.
