Asking A Girl About Her Makeup

A person on a Reddit page called #TheGirlSurvivalGuide shared how she knew nothing about makeup and wanted to learn more about things. She would often find people around her wearing makeup really well and struggle on inquiring about it without making seeming less awkward. However, she was confused about how to compliment and ask them for advice and product suggestions. The comment section was filled with ideas and here are some of them.

A Reddit user wrote, "It's not weird at all to say someone's lip or shadow colour looks great on them and ask which specific product it is. I've been asked before and asked others, and it's not strange at all. You can also compliment someone on their look and ask if they will help you achieve the same. "That lip colour looks great on you, can I ask you what it is?" Another one wrote, "Hey! I’ve asked and been asked. To me, it’s such a compliment. I not only give all the details but often show them a picture or send a link".

Another Reddit user wrote, "I don’t have any tips for you, unfortunately, because I don’t know much about makeup either. But if I did and someone asked me questions like these, I wouldn’t think they are creepy! Especially if you say “hey, I don’t know much about makeup but I’m trying to learn, ? Or replace the bracket part with whatever your question is. Good luck and I hope you have fun learning!".

A user shared her own experience and wrote, "A few years ago, a girl came up to me in a store and said “your highlighter looks so good on you”. it was such a huge compliment (and still is since I remember it lol!). I was a bit stunned but if she asked me the brand I would’ve been more than happy to answer". If you want to get some advice, as this Reddit user wrote, "Honestly, just ask. I'd be delighted if someone consider me good enough to actually ask me about my make-up".

There is a stigma around people complimenting others about makeup. People think it's offensive to ask girls about their makeup. However, it feels good to get complimented for something you have spent a considerable amount of time doing. In fact, people who love makeup are always enthusiastic to educate people around them about it. So next time you come across a girl wearing makeup, compliment her and ask more about her look, products and skills. People will be delighted to guide you.
