Easy solution.

Instead of lying to them, try to use your words in the right way so that you are truthful but spare their feelings as well.

For example, you could say, "I am not really a big fan of your hair, but I love how your dress looks on you." In that sentence, I am truthful and the person's feelings are defused too. No need to lie at all.
