"Day eyeshadow tho. Girl knows how to work dem highlights to catch a boys heart"
Or some other dumbass joking remark.

Play the catch-up game, ask her out to coffee or something.

Not to hard broski

You had makeup on? I didn't realize that. You looked naturally cute and I love ........ about you.

Well, you can completely divert from that comment by replying that your crush was due to more than just her looks.

Oof, yeah I doubt she intended it that way but that's a bit of a loaded question. Maybe something like "I'm sure it wasn't just your make up :)" (in your own words) would work?

Drop the I'm sure and just say "It def wasn't just your makeup tho *smug or wink emoji*"

She's just trying to respond in a way that you can give her positive reinforcement for your emotions at the time without making it awkward.

You're looking into it too much, just relax and talk without thinking more than you need to about opening up, and if you do decide to go that route, be somewhat amused and amusing by it, not condescendinly so, but humorous. If it helps, keep in the back of your mind she's just an option, because you're making your mark on the scene no matter if she's game or not. Think about how awesome you are too, basically.

responding, for example, and to keep it general so you can answer in your own style, say something genuine and while keeping it relatively simple, you need a healthy balance of laughter and serious hitting on

this is something to talk about after hours of sweaty sex not before it

You wanna make her feel good about herself, but you also don't want to be the dude to shower her with compliments and seem like you're putting her on a pedestal, being all like "no, your beauty is greater than that of a million suns with or without makeup, you are perfect etc etc."

Girls like to feel like you're not just working to get them, but they are working to get you. They don't like things just handed to them. You have to be a little challenging.

By complimenting how she does her makeup, instead of giving her the expected "no you are perfect just how you are," it'll leave her ambiguous as to whether you do actually find her attractive, or if it's just her makeup. That ambiguity will excite her.
