Oh, no! I thought you were asking in general what we think about criticism on blogs, pictures and videos. In that case I think that if somebody asks for criticism, it's totally okay if you want to be 'brutally honest' or 'harsh'. But if somebody is just posting their pictures or blogging, and somebody posts a brutally honest comment- it is rude and I'd say it could be bullying, yes. I'm not calling anybody a bully! But that's just my general opinion of it. I'd hate to post a blog post or a picture of something I did and then somebody I don't know harshly comment their negative opinion on it. I'd be hurt! I'd feel bullied, yknow.

Unless I asked for opinions! Then that's totally understandable. 

Ailani, when I was new to this whole thing I would have loved if someone gave me advice like that. It just shows that they actually took the time to help you out, and that would be awesome. I probably still need it!

Andrea, ah phew, you have me a bit worried there for a bit. I totally agree with you. And even if you ask for criticism, people shouldn't write -mean- things, because that's just stupid. Criticism includes both what's good and what could be better (and how!), or at least, it should be. Everybody is brave behind a computer and I guess it's a hundred times easier to be mean over the net that it is in person, I'm afraid :(

I think it would be rude whether you're giving constructive criticism or not. For one thing, when you are typing something instead of saying it, the context could easily become misconstrued. People post pictures because they're trying and if you notice that it wasn't one of the best jobs, I'm sure they notice it too, but they have probably made progress. Keep those comments to yourself ...and your husband. "Forum Etiquette" clearly states how every member should behave on here.

Emelie, I've never had a blog or anything like that but if I did I would love that kind of feedback. It let's me know that the people (if any) that come on my blog actually care about me and my work.

I would love to have a makeup blog, but I honestly don't know the first thing about maintaining a good quality one. So for now, this is all I have. I'm hoping by the time I do make on, the people that follow will be honest, and respectful enough to give criticism like that.

Constructive Criticism FTW! haha Really though this is very hard to answer I think you can give your opinion and still be nice or at least not rude you just have to word yourself very carefully I would appreciate someone helping me out and telling me how I can better myself but that is just me I guess it depends on the person but I think a good way you could start off is just by saying "hey I can see what you are doing but if you don't mind my advice, you could make it look 20 times better if you tried this ......" I think that would be nice plus we're a community so I don't think we would see each other as purposely just hating on each other you know.

Be honest without being a b*tch about it. There's a saying that mature ppl go by "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". If you dont like what you see, don't comment, move on. Unfortunately, not every person is on a mature level.
