"I recently saw a friend I hadn&amp;#x27;t seen in years, and the first thing I noticed was her odd haircolor. Maybe she&amp;#x27;s gotten some grays since the days when we used to hang out regularly; whatever the reason, she&amp;#x27;d gone from golden blond to a weird shade of warm brown that totally didn&amp;#x27;t work with her pink undertones. There was a phase a couple years back when I, too, was dying my hair totally the wrong shade of brown for my skin--and I didn&amp;#x27;t realize it &amp;#x27;til much later, when looking at photos. I kind of wish a close friend had gently suggested I try a different shade, but if I&amp;#x27;m honest with myself, I admit that hearing this would have really stung. I also remember a time I did smoky eyes totally wrong (I basically just made my lids really dark, instead of concentrating more on the creases), and a friend kind of hinted to me that they weren&amp;#x27;t working. &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m not used to seeing you in so much eye makeup!&amp;quot; she said. Um, yeah--we all know that&amp;#x27;s girl code for &amp;quot;a little overkill on the shadow, eh?&amp;quot;. Now I sometimes wonder if I should use a similar technique on my friend who rims her eyes in thick black liquid liner all the time, making them look way smaller. I doubt I&amp;#x27;d really say anything, though. What about you: Does one of your friends do something with her hair or makeup that totally doesn&amp;#x27;t work? Would you ever dare to say something? Has a friend ever gently tried to get you to change something about your hair or makeup? Did you appreciate the feedback or feel kinda hurt?
