 As celtic tiger said all women have upper lip hair and those pesky ones on her chin...Being part italian myself, I've got dark hair so when you get close enough you can see those dark hairs..Some women who are blondes or redheads can get away with peach fuzz in those areas. But yes we do spend a fortune on self wax kits, or getting it professionally waxed at the salon.
How long have you two been together? And you just now noticed the hairs? My point is if it has taken you a while to notice them then she probably plucks them regularly and has been slacking the last few days. If you do point out those few hairs you will upset her to the point where she dumps you. I say bare it for another week to see if she waxes or plucks them and then tell her she's got something on her chin..Like "oh you got something on your chin (like it's a piece of stray food, dirt, or eyelash)" Then she'll get the point and of course you'll embarrass her.

 Hah, I told a girl I dated when I was 14 that she had a moustache... kinda as a half joke but with a kernal of truth to it.
If looks could kill!! But she must have ended up taking it to heart as the very fine lip hair, (damn near unnoticeable in the first place) was gone a week later... we didn't break up over it either.
Ya can get away with it as a naive little 14 year old sh*thead... not so much in your 20's...

My suggestion would be to wait for an appropriate time and then just act like you just noticed something on her chin and reach over to wipe it off. You will have to warm her up to grooming before this in order to pull it off without making it obvious. Take every opportunity to wipe crumbs or food or a smudge off her, you can apply this all over...if she has hair on her clothes, pick them off. When you then have the opportunity, have a go at her chin hair and then act embarrassed to realize they are attached, apologize but offer to pluck them out for her. Done properly, I swear this will work because I did it accidentally to a man I work with that had hair growing ON his nose (not the bridge) I was truly embarrassed but he never had those hair there again....then it happened again with a girlfriend and her chin...she actually asked if I would let herr know in the future if I saw them as they were in a difficult spot for her to see and she was embarrassed by them.

I grow a few hairs on my chin and it drives me insane! I tweeze them and would never leave them on my face. She may have a disorder called pcos, it causes different issues but is extremely common among women, one symptom is facial hair. She may be scared that if she tweezes them more will grow back, I belived that is a myth. I would tell her in a nice way. I would want my man to tell me in a nice way. You can tell her she is beautiful and you love her and ask her about the hairs. Ask her what made her decide to leave them there instead of tweezing. If she decided to tweeze maybe you can do it for her and you guys can get a laugh out of it.

 Yeah dont say anything to her mate. If you do your in trouble. Your just going to have to stick with her. But if you dump her for that shit then it says alot about who you are.

 How many hairs are we talking here? A few, or a full beard?
You do know that women have hair too.... sometimes it shows up more than others. Dark haired women often get moustaches and beards... you would be shocked at the amount of money women spend on waxes, bleaches and creams to get rid of unwanted facial hair. Monthly treatments cost a fortune.
Some women get hairy nipples as well. Contrary to popular culture women are hairy! Its just modern practices mean we have to shave, wax and remove it in order to be accepted as normal by our menfolk.
All because stupid men decide its unattractive and make their girlfriends feel like freaks.
DO NOT say anything to her. It will upset her and hurt her more than you can every know. There are women who end up with life long complexes because of a comment like that.
Does it bother you? Do you find her utterly repulsive because of them? If not, then deal with it and ignore it. She probably knows they are there, and plucks them.
You say she is smart and beautiful...so what is the problem?

 lol this is quite funny. I would say tell her straight up but not knowing the type of girl she is. Not so much, if you guys play around a lot say it as a joke but dont really mean it. BUt secretly you are. Or maybe a friend of hers that you can talk to. This may blow up into a bigger situation depending on the amount of self confidence she has. so best bet is to try and ignore it. or if they are long enough cut them off when shes sleeping. lol. just a random throw out.. :)
