Would you be comfortable telling your friend that their makeup might look better another way or would you keep that to yourself?

Ooh, I definitely wouldn't offer makeup advice without being asked! I do try to compliment when people look extra attractive or wear flattering stuff--positive reinforcement. I can't think of any tacky-looking friends, though. Now if there's food or something on someone's face, I'll let them know about that!

@sweetchic: @tororojo: She just started wearing makeup for the first time at 31 and she doesn't blend! Maybe I will buy her some nice makeup brushes for Christmas!

@autumnlove: Ohhh, if that's the case, then maybe I would!
Can you go shopping together, and then make up an excuse to go into Sephora (or makeup counter at a department store)? And then somehow both end up in one of the makeup chairs for an impromptu lesson/makeover?

@autumnlove: Maybe you could go to the mall together and you could suggest both of you getting your makeup done at MAC or someplace that won't screw it up? Just say you want to try something new and it'll be fun. Then you can be like "wow, I love how your eyeshadow is blended!"

is she a close friend? i'd say something like, "how'd you decide to start wearing make up?" ... "when i started wearing make up, i'd go to sephora all the time to learn tricks and see what colors work best on me."
i wouldn't trick her into going to sephora or a dept store makeup counter. she's 31, she can't be that clueless.
