How do I tell a co-worker that she wears too much Bronzer?

hattgal1: How do I tell a co-worker that she wears too much Bronzer?
I have a co-worker who wears a bronzer daily. Her face is ORANGE and looks hideous. People make comments behind her back and I feel the need to tell her it’s too much, but I dont know how to approach her without seeming offensive. Would you say something and what’s the best way to do so?

come up to her and talk to her like you’re her friend and then tell her that some people have been talking about how much bronzer she puts on and tell her that maybe she shouldn’t put on so much

♥ Good Luck!

don’t say anything flat out because that is incredibly rude. you have to remember its her face and if your not best friends with her its not your place. but maybe you should mention to her that some people have been saying things about her makeup.

If it were me i’d mind my own business. But if you really want to let her know I would just come out and tell her. Just don’t be rude about it. You may want to tell her some people are talking but don’t tell her who. That just causes @ the job gossip, and i’m sure there’s enough of that goin around the workplace.

You really can’t, unless she asks.

Answer by AngeLeanWithIt
if she’s happy with what she looks like then let her be

if she’s embarrassed, then pull her to the side and tell her “a little salt and lemon juice go a long way” (because salt and lemon juice get rid of fake tanning)

but when you hear people talk crud behind her back
stand up to them
they’re your co-workers
work’s not a high school drama
and tell them to stop the gossip

Toughy. Maybe you should say how her skin is pretty, and you wish she would wear more natural looking makeup.

Maybe bring some that is more her skin color for her to try, or if you are friends: maybe you could give her a “make-over”

or just be honest, tell her as a friend you want to let her know that some people have mentioned that her bronzer is a little dark (by no means tell her who! don’t use the word orange either)

I would just tell her. I have to admit myself that I am a massive bronzer fan, and sometimes i go way over the top– i dont realise till i see a picture or someone says look in the mirror,, and I’m like — why didn’t any one tell me!!!! If she has that much on that it is awful, she probably has some idea of the amount that she has on.

I would say something like —

woooahh i think you need to blend your bronzer in a little today ,,

or i think your wearing a bit too much bronzer lately

your bronzers getting a bit wild these days

I think if you say it in a jesty way than if would be less offencive, or depending on her personality — take her to one side and just tell her nicely

for me honesty is the best policy — always

I don’t think that you should just come out and tell her unless you have an extremely close relationship with her. Instead, I’d sit down and write a little note to let her know that people have been saying things behind her back about the bronzer she’s been wearing, and how people agree that she looks better without it. Write something nice, like “You’re beautiful without that orange stuff on your face”. That way, she won’t be offended. Instead, it would be like a compliment and will ease her into taking it off. You’d really be surprised. Don’t drop any hints that it was you who wrote the message, and don’t tell anyone else about it, either. Do it completely by yourself and don’t sign it. Also, don’t give anyone away who said anything. That would be very mean, and will only cause a problem and make her angry. Good luck!

Say “(enter name here), you have such beautiful skin, why do you hide it with so much bronzer?”
