Is it bad…

To tell your friend that her make up just looks wrong?? Especially when it is her pride? I thought what a better place to ask then on a beauty site right? I love my friend but people comment on it behind her back and I wish I could tell her somehow….

Should I just butt out??

    Yeah let her know so she doesnt embarress herself. Ive had people tell me my flys undone, got a booger hanging out of my schnoz and was so thankful. I wouldve died if anyone else saw! shame!!

    yeah it hard coz you dont want to hurt their feelings but dont wan thtem to look silly, i`d tell her, me and my friends have this sort of code when this sort of thing happens or if one of us is dressed weirdly or in soething not flattering, we say always start off with i luv ya babe but the outfit/ makeup isnt good on you, it doesnt suit you but it`s ok we find something for you. but i susspose it depend son your friends we are very open and open against. So with us if we here luv ya babe we basically no to change lol
    coz its her makeup i`d say suggest alternatives, with compliments like you have such beautiful eyes i think if you were your eye make up like …. it would really make them stand out, or if she wears too much make up maybe say she has such nice skin she could getaway with a light powder, or if all else fails have a ntriments parrty of something similar maybe she`ll take on board the tips the make up artists gives her
    good luck

    You could always try using a subtle approach by having a girls night in and ask everyone to bring their makeup, make it fun by making over each other.

    I love the truthful relationship my friends and I share it enriches the moments we share!

    Hope this helps you and your friend!

    Be up front in a friendly way. She might get a little offended but shes your friend and it won`t be a serious issue:) Nothing is worse than having ott make up or make up applied very badly and not realising itt! Tell your friend in a way you would like to be informed, nicely .

    Yes it would be better comming from you than getting embarresed by a stranger.

    I have to agree with Pink Diva. And I would always want my friends to tell me if my makeup/hair/clothes looked wrong. Sure, I`d be a little upset, but I`d be even more upset if I found out later and knew that they had let me make a fool of myself.

    I would definitely want my friend to tell me if my makeup`s wrong, she would be doing me a favour more than anything. But of course there are nice ways to go about it so you don`t sound bitchy and end up upseting your friend, i thought Pink Diva`s suggestions were really good.

    Yep I definitely think you should tell her, especially if she is being made fun of behind her back. Would you want to be told if it was the other way around? Do it gently, and maybe offer some advice at the same time on how to apply the make up better. She might be offended at first, but once she`s had a think about it, Im sure she will appreciate it 🙂

    I`ve told someone that their makeup was badly applied, thick clumps of mascara on redhead lashes that werent fully covered. I tried to do it tactfully and suggested an eyebrow comb or different mascara, i think she took my info on board. But hey, if i tell people something they dont like, they can and will say “”what do you know, you`re a goth”” :p

    I would want to be told too. I think the makeup counter is a good idea. She could really get her feelings hurt. If she finds out what people have been saying and knows you didn`t tell her she`ll probably be really upset.
