She might get a feeling you are being sarcastic and that she should read in between the lines....
Stop applying make-up She could also go to the extent of thinking that her make-up overrules her natural beauty.
Honestly you can say just something to her like color of lipstick really compliments your natural glowing color or that kOHL UNDER THE EYES really brings out the depth amd mystery in your eyes which you always felt...

If you want to compliment a woman on her makeup..dont come out and say...Wow your makeup looks great. Remember, when a woman is putting on makeup she is usually trying to accent her good qualities and camoflauge her flaws. Something like...Honey, your eyes look so beautiful tonight..that eyeshadow really makes them stand out....or your lips look so full and kissable when you are wearing that lip color. Compliment her as well, not just her choice of colors or ability to apply them

Maybe but it would be better to compliment her eyes instead of her makeup. The reason women use eye makeup is to boost their natural beauty but to compliment the method for the boost, implies that it is to fix something wrong. Try saying something simple like "you have such pretty eyes" .

Just say that she looks pretty or that she is beautiful. You don't want to get too specific because women put makeup on in an effort to enhance their natural beauty - it shouldn't be super noticeable.

I think it would be more flattering to complement them on their appearance in general, as most women wear makeup to look attractive; they don't want it to be the stand-out thing about them. Most go for the illusion of "natural beauty" and use cosmetics to enhance that.

Tricky question. Some women would consider it very rude - since they apply makeup to look more natural, or to cover flaws.

no. a woman will almost always take that to mean that their make up is messed up. compliment their clothes and if you are gay their shoes. you can tell them that they look very pretty or nice. that is almost always safe.

dont say, wow your makeup looks great! simply say, wow you look beautiful. dont specify her make-up or her clothes or anything, that means your focusing on one thing and not everything she has. complimenting everything about her will make her more confident
