Just tell her the truth. And tell her that it doesn't help putting all that stuff on there cuz it just clogs her pores even more so the acne will never go away. But just be honest with her and even if she gets mad at you she'll forgive you and thank you for mentioning it.

One day while you girls are having a sleepover or something, do each others make-up! You do her's, and make HER look how she should really look. Then tell her it's the best you've ever seen her look. Tell her she looks awesome, and ask her if she thinks the same!

I think you should tell her because if she ever finds out about people talking about her and that she wears so much foundation they she will probley blame you for not telling her.
Tell her that she doesnt need foundation

I'm sure your friend is very sensitive about her skin, so when you talk to her about it, be very careful with your words.
Just sit down and talk to her about it. Tell her first-hand that you're only talking to her about this because you care. Tell her what you said in this post, that she doesn't have that bad of skin. Compliment her skin to the best of your ability, and reassure her that she doesn't need to put on a lot of makeup to cover herself up. Explain that you read "somewhere" that putting on a lot of makeup tends to make the acne more noticeable and that your skin is more prone to breaking out if you use makeup daily. If your friend is up to it, go to the mall together and have a makeup artist at a department store put on some makeup on your friend; request a natural, polished look.
I, too, was once a teen that was prone to breakouts and I went through the same phase your friend did. The reason why I put on makeup was to make the pimples "less noticable" and that I was really insecure about the way I looked. Makeup gave me a bit of confidence I guess you could say. I started with a layer of foundation (not a lot, but enough for coverage) and later down the line I found it made me look silly and pasty. Until I realized that, I laid off a little, instead I opted for sheer coverage.
But now since my face cleared up, I hardly use makeup. I only use foundation to cover minor blemishes (not on the whole face, only on trouble spots) and I set with loose powder and it looks fine. If your friend wants some advice for makeup or skin care, im me on yahoo someday and we'll talk. :)
Also, here's a link with some (but very few) makeup tips:

Sorry that this is pretty long, but I hope it helped!

You don't say how old you guys are.I'm going to assume you are younger girls.
Do you have an older friend or sister who could be of help here? Maybe have a girls day "in" and teach each other makeup tricks? Sometimes it's easier if you let someone a little older help out so your friend doesn't get upset with YOU.
Go to the library or go buy some magazines that give makeup tips.Read them with your friend and try some new things. When she looks good and is not as spackeled up, make a big deal about how great she looks. I think you might be able to tell her without coming right out and saying "you look like a clown" this way.

tell her she's overduing the makeup and that she should lighten up on it. but also tell her to try the proactive stuff. that stuff is amazing! especially when it comes the makeup! proactive has the most wonderful makeup i have ever tried! and the cleanser, toner, and lotion works wonders!
Love Always,
Maria
