The point of your criticism is to help someone improve, or to correct a problem, and your feedbacks should carry that message. If you’re doing anything but that, reevaluate whether you actually have legitimate criticism to give, or you just need to talk to someone.
Offer positive and specific suggestions to alleviate the issue at hand, or identify the problem clearly without talking about the person, just the issue.

MORE IDEAS FROM THE SAME ARTICLE
Keep your criticism to your observations, and the impact they have. Don't try to fix the problem, just identify it.
Criticism by nature can be personal, but delivering it you need to separate your thoughts on someone's work or behavior from what you think of them.
"Sandwiching" your critique between two positive things about the person's softens the blow, and avoids it coming off like an attack. The mix of positive and negative makes people more likely to pay attention to the whole package.

Constructive criticism assumes that the person giving it has chosen to talk about it because it wants to help the other in reaching the good or help to progress.
