No Go Zone…Please.
I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but I seem to be a magnet for those hypothetical conundrums pertaining to whether or not you should tell someone (other than your bestest friend in the whole entire universe) that their makeup is horrid, that they’ve got racing stripes for blush, or that circa 80’s style lip liner is passé. I am posting this to say…Nope, no way, absolutely not, don’t go there, don’t even think about it, and step away from the temptation. Seriously. Yes, we have all thought it at one time or another and may have even mumbled it a little louder than we should have under our breath, but under no circumstances should it go any further than that. Let it be our little secret. Unless you are 210% sure that the zany makeup wearer will not be offended because you can let them know via an update that is said in such a nice way that you may have even convinced yourself that their offense is not that bad and gently slip in an alternative that is not only the way to go, but so awesome and smooth as silk, that they feel they, in fact, thought of it first. *takes a breath* In other words…Life’s too short. Serve them up a great compliment instead, that is sure to make them smile, and… just let it ride.

Sorry Beautymarked I have another view. If a person is your BEST FRIEND would you let them walk into the party with their slip hanging? I think not. Now is there a way to communicate there makeup leaves something to be desired yes. Let them know you care about them and you only want the very best for them and in your view they might think of touching up their eyes, mouth, cheeks whatever. I know if my best friend left me hanging looking like a bad day at the fish market I would not be happy.
Be sensitive and let them know you care. I kam sure it will make a difference.June 15th, 2007 at 5:35 pm. Permalink.

Too true! I agree.
Hence the proviso in parenthesis at the start of the post.

Very close friends only is my law when it comes to this. Otherwise - I quickly do my best to find something great about the person and focus on that. You’re right - life’s too short!
