• Give users the benefit of the doubt, and please try to follow reddiquette when possible. See this post for our personal reddiquette/downvoting guidelines.

Redditgifts is hosting a makeup and nail polish exchange! Sign up info here. Sign up deadline is October 1st and shipping deadline is October 15th.

Discouraged comments:

• "You look better without makeup" - That sort of defeats the purpose of the subreddit, yeah? There's also a difference between this and "I like you without that makeup" - constructive comments about what could be improved are most likely welcome.

• "You're sexy" - If you wouldn't say it to your sister, it's probably not appropriate here.

• Anything that could not be seen as helpful or constructive in any light (i.e., comments about weight, etc.)

Please use the report button if you see inappropriate comments.
