how to not hurt my friend
How do I tell my my really nice friend that she wears WAAAAY too much makeup? She's pretty underneath it all, but I swear she puts on so much makeup nobody knows what her real face actually looks like anymore. I don't want to hurt her feelings, I just want to help her out.

Plan a sleepover at her house and throw all of her make-up away.LOL. No, just plan a party(just the two of u)put on each others make-up and put light colors on her and barely any make-up and tell her she looks much better with light colors and less make-up. But the thing is, when she does ur make-up, u might look like a clown, but don't worry . . . its washable(hopefully)

I'd just straight up tell her that she doesn't need it because she is already beautiful. If she says it is because she wants to look pretty for the guys then tell her how are you ever going to know if they really like you and not just all the make up your wearing.

How about going to a nice department store together and having your makeup done by one of the ladies there. Often its free and they'll give advice and tips and this will save you having to tell her,at least yet. They'll have to remove her makeup to redo it. Its a creative way to make the suggestion.-let me know how it works out-okay??-Insight2020

If your scared to tell her suggest that the two of you go for makeovers at a department store for fun. The makeup consultants would be happy to teach your friend how to properly apply make-up. She might see she can still look good without a painted face.
And from my experience guys prefer a natural look, so that may be something to tell her too!
Good Luck!

Some of my friends cake their make up on with a roller some mornings, but the way i see it, if they're comfortable that way then good on them. If your friend likes the way she looks when she wears make up, then what's the harm in it? However, I can see your side of the argument. My friends are usually really blunt and honest when something's wrong (I'll ALWAYS tell my best friend my honest opinion on clothes, if she says "Does this suit me?" and it doesn't I'll say no), so I guess if you really want to say something to her, just tell her that you think she'd be prettier with less make up.

make up can eat the natural colour of the skin...and look oder than what she really is when she is oder and pale...she'll be FORCED to... tell her the truth, that she is pretty, and doesn't need the whole thing...

Be carefully honest. Just tell her she's too pretty to be piling all that crap on her face. If she's smart, and your friend, she won't get hurt. Besides, you're complimenting her anyway.

look up some fresh and light but COOL makeup techniques on the internet that you can show her casually. One day just bring it up out of no where - 'hey can I try this really neat eyeliner/eyeshadow thing on you I saw, its really cool.'
If she lets you show it on her she may start to like the lighter look when she sees it on herself or she may not.
If she doesnt like it, dont be upset because there is simply nothing you can do to change this. This means that that is her taste and maybe with time she will change it.
It may even look better on her or what not because your opinion is subjective and all. But anyways, give it a try, hopefully she will go for it.
