I tend to think you should keep it to yourself. Even if you're not hitting on them, it's clear that you want them to know that you think they're attractive. It becomes more about you than about them, which is annoying and a little creepy regardless.
If it's someone you know fairly well (like the regular girl at the coffeeshop whom you see every day) and it's a fairly neutral comment, like "nice t-shirt" or "you look really nice today" that's fine, but "you have the most beautiful eyes" or something equally personal is kind of pushing it.
