How can I tell my friend she is wearing WAY too much make-up?

cara asked:


Okay my friend McKenzie(we call her maccheese) showed up on the first day of school with bright blue eyeshadow and layers and layers of eyeliner. Way too much mascara too. She has flaming red hair and it all looked horrible. This has been going on for a while now. How can I tell her the make up looks awful?

Polite answers only.

    l wouldn’t really mention it. lf she likes it, then good for her. lf she wants your opinion, she’ll ask you, and then when she asks you, you can be honest.

    l hope l was polite enough (:

    When you two are hanging out one day, ask her if you could give her a makeover. And then do her makeup how you think would look nice on her. If she likes it, she’ll start doing it that way. If she doesn’t, then you know that she likes it her way and as long as she likes it, it shouldn’t matter.

    OMG, i had to do this to my friend…conincedentally named mckenzie.

    i said things like:
    kenz, lighten up on the liner a bit! (make sure to say it with a joking voice though!!!)
    you are too pretty to have so much makeup on!

    maybe you can suggest different colors for her eyeshadow but she might be wearing it because she really believes she looks good in it. you might try and tell her that you used to like how her eyes looked better before all the make up.

  • just a girl....

    just tell her nicely i guess

    Tell her hey i know i’m not an expert but if you wanna look more beautiful then….
    give her the impression you’re by her side.
    I f she insists she likes it then leave it I mean it’s her face and her life let her use it that’s what humans are for.
