You can only do this if the person has requested your input and constructive criticism. If you are criticizing a person unbidden, you are being rude.
Make sure your criticism is truly constructive. I would suggest starting with a positive before introducing an "improvement." For example: "I've always admired your long, shiny hair. I bet if you went to a good stylist they could give you some suggestions on how to avoid split ends, and feature your attractive face more."
Try to use "I" statements, or "If it were me, I might consider" instead of "you always . . .".
Good luck!

The most polite way to approach corrective criticism is to make certain that when you approach the subject, you do it in a passive way ... don't say "You do this wrong," but "This is a very difficult task to do, here's some advice on how it can be done better."

Honesty is the best policy.
