The phrases 'Te ves muy bien' and 'Estás muy guapo/a' are understood almost everywhere in the Spanish-speaking world.
'¡Qué guapo!' or '¡Qué guapa!' are extremely common and used frequently as standalone compliments.
It's common to hear 'Qué lindo/a que estás' or using 'vos': 'Vos te ves muy bien'. 'Lindo/a' (pretty/nice) is used more often than 'guapo/a' for general compliments.
You might hear the colloquial 'Estás muy churro' (for a man) or 'churra' (for a woman), which is a casual way to say someone is very attractive.
'Qué guapo/a estás' is very common. They also use 'majo/a' to compliment someone's personality or friendly appearance, e.g., 'Qué maja eres' (You're so nice).
Tú miras bien. — Te ves bien. — This is a common mix-up. 'Mirar' means 'to look at' something (e.g., 'Miro la televisión'). To talk about your own or someone else's appearance, you need the reflexive verb 'verse'. 'Tú miras bien' actually means 'You see well' (your eyesight is good).
Eres guapa hoy. — Estás guapa hoy. — Use 'estar' for temporary conditions, including how someone looks at a specific moment. 'Estás guapa' means 'You look beautiful (today/right now)'. 'Eres guapa' means 'You are a beautiful person (in general)', which is a stronger, more permanent statement.
Tu camisa es muy bonito. — Tu camisa es muy bonita. — In Spanish, adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. 'Camisa' (shirt) is a feminine noun, so you must use the feminine adjective 'bonita'.
Me gusta tus zapatos. — Me gustan tus zapatos. — The verb 'gustar' changes based on what is liked. If you like one thing ('tu camisa'), you use 'gusta'. If you like multiple things ('tus zapatos'), you must use the plural form 'gustan'.
