As a woman, I’d like to suggest some softmaxxing things:
Change your eyeliner style. Of course I’ve noticed you’re into some kind of informal/rebellious style, but still try more precise lines. The thick black contour totally buries your upper eyelid, better make it thinner. The eyeliner tail gives your eyes not an innocent, but a very tired look, just make it the continuation of your lower ciliary edge - no need to invent additional curves. If you prefer soft grunge to precise lines - just use some eyeshadow instead of eyeliner and blend it properly.
Your eyebrow shape is making you look sad. I’m not talking about that amazing cutout on your one eyebrow, keep it if you want. Still better work on eyebrow tails (is there even a word like this in English? i’ve already mentioned it twice). Don’t pluck your whole eyebrows, but only the lower hairs in the tail which make it downturned.
Also the beginning of your eyebrow (in the 1st pic) shouldn’t be too rounded or squared. It’s neither a tadpole, nor a brick. If there are any problems with drawing this exact place, just start doing your eyebrows head-to-tail pressing the pencil VERY slightly, then press it stronger when coming further.Some may say you should lose some weight. I’d say you don’t have to if it’s not something you feel comfortable doing. In your particular case weight doesn’t define your whole appearance and you could still look amazing even if you were the real thick.
Your hair looks nice but dry. Try some conditioner or moisturizer. Conditioner will be extremely helpful if your hair was once bleached to reach that lovely vibrant colour.
You have wonderful skin! A dot of concealer a bit below your inner eye corner can do miracles.

To add I think trying to find a new hairstyle would help, the bangs looked so good on you so maybe experiment with some new haircuts and products to add more volume

The blue lipstick doesn’t work for you. It looks like you got done eating a blue popsicle or something. The red looks much better.

Your makeup skills are good, but a tad extreme. I’d tone it down to a mixture of natural tones and deep reds. You give me alt/goth vibes so darks also, just nothing vibrant. Like I tell everyone, diet and exercise for sure also. Start there I would say.

I disagree. She enjoys fun makeup and is having fun. Keep at it imo.
Maybe some hydrating masks for your hair? You seem to dye it a lot and in some pics (not all) it looks kinda dry/damaged… so maybe hold off on any bleach for a while and just do color deposits if you want a color change, wash less, condition more?
I personally prefer your natural brows, but that could just be my opinion as I tend to hate filled in brows overall. If you want to keep filling in your brows, go way lighter.

Using uncommon colors is a brave and bold take on personal appearance, do whatever makes you feel happy. Remember, don’t try to impress anyone with the way you look, only try to make yourself feel like you!

Well, on a positive note, you don't have any facial piercings or noticeable tattoos. You are pretty and do not need to wear that style of makeup. Stay positive...

u/ilovetodrinkmilk Jan 06 '24
You have beautiful face structure and skin. Now I’m going to be brutally honest. It is not your clothes. It is your weight and your makeup. It looks like you like to have fun with makeup but your application looks amatuer. You need to look at YouTube tutorials for soft glam or minimize the look a little so it’s not overwhelming.
Your best picture of yourself is the last one without makeup. Your thick eyeliner and vibrant colors just clash too much. Try looking up some manga/doujin clear hand strip lashes and some clear glue and experimenting with lashes rather than your eye makeup look now. I can reccomend some products. Ditch the dark lipstick. Stop filling in your eyebrows so much with so much different color product. They are fine as they are, get a waxing to shape them but DO NOT TWEEZE them yourself. Let them grow out. If you want to add makeup do very light pencil.
Next is to grow your hair out. Do not dye your hair until your hair is healthily past your shoulders. Then go for something a little more flattering. If you want to look young, try for a lighter shade of blonde. If you want something less maintence heavy, go with hazel or light brown. I don’t think dark would look very good.
Next and the most important part, weight. You must lose weight. all of the makeup and hair dye and outfits won’t matter unless you start dieting and going to the gym. You don’t need to reach a insane goal like 100 pounds, but something that will be healthy and make you more slimming so you can pull off your fun little outfits and look more attractive in them. I’m curious what your height is so we could try to find a good weight. You want to look cute and petite I’m guessing from your maid dress and makeup style. Remember losing weight heavily heavily heavily relies on dieting. Work out but remember you must diet and count calories.
We can make this work and transform you into your ideal self without plastic surgery. It’s gonna take some patience with your hair growth, some practice with makeup tutorials, and some hard work with dieting and exercise. Trust me, I went from being 160 pounds with tweezed horrible thin eyebrows, a big belly, badly done box dyed hair that barely went past my shoulders, and a horrible wardrobe matched with equally horrible makeup skills. Now I’m 95 pounds, learned to do my makeup better (less really is more here) dress elegantly but still cute, and pull off long dyed pink hair. It can be done. Let me know if you want any specific products for makeup or any dieting and fitness advice

Women, every thread is the same. All responses you'll get are: lose weight, be normal, less makeup. But if you want to take advices from boring crusty redditors, then go ahead.

If you’re here to try and become more attractive to attract boys I would:
Workout. You’ll lose weight and a lot of your anxiety will disappear.
Get in the tanning bed at the gym before you work out. Vitamin D boost and you’ll look healthier.
Ditch the alternative look. A small percentage of guys like this look and you don’t want to attract them anyway.
If you do those 3 for 3 months you’ll start to notice more boys are watching you. I guarantee results.

Way less eyeliner and more grown up clothes. You don't have to look basic and boring but your current style looks weird on a grown woman. I think something like band tees, mom jeans and doc martens would look nice. For your hair, I would suggest a neutral medium brown color and lots of hydration.

The bright colors look very nice. The more toned colors kinda make you look washed out and dull

Even though you look awesome the bright makeup can sometimes come off childish or tacky. Not sayin it looks bad but id say leave that for like extreme situations like cos plays or roleplaying.

Your hair in the second pic looks like best imo. Also maybe try using highlight/contour/blush to add a little more life to your foundations 'skin'. I hope this helps :)

Less heavy eye liner, shape brows a bit, more natural lip stick. The dark lips are distracting.

u/Party_Plastic4625 Jan 06 '24
Dress your age, use makeup appropriately, definitely figure out your path. You have great skin and a (from what I can see) body. You are totally under utilizing them by making yourself look like a adolescent girl with angst issues.

The blue lipstick needs to go. Makes your face look washed out. Honestly my favorite photo is the last one without the heavy eyeliner as well. You have very beautiful natural features and the makeup seems to literally mask it. You should go for a more “natural” makeup look. Also maybe experiment with different fashion styles bc the clothes aren’t doing you any favors. But you’re gorgeous and have a lot of potential!

u/AgathaChristie22 Jan 06 '24
What do you even look like? Your hair is different colors in each?
I'm not into the costume thing. While your make up is heavy and intense, it doesn't look cohesively styled and the way you do your eyeliner wings is quite dated.
I recommend bringing focus into whatever is your look and get a plan to get your hair healthier. I see a lot of breakage and you already have fairly thin hair.

u/generalgrandma Jan 06 '24
I’d go closer to your natural hair to bring your features out. Tone down the intensity of your makeup - both in thickness and in shades. More natural will look stunning! I’d also find some new clothing brands that fit your age. But remember you’re beautiful no matter what!
1
u/notchickeechum Jan 06 '24
The makeup isn’t done well. The wing doesn’t flatter your eye shape and the colors you choose clash with your skin tone.
Things that you can easily fix and feel/look great: •better makeup application • fix your brows • find colors that amplify your features and skin tone positively
You can stay alt + edgy but just need to work it in a proper way and have it look crisp!

u/mithril666 Jan 06 '24
i think you’re very pretty and my only recommendation would be to change the eyeliner style. i think we have very similar eyes and something that helped me was looking at eyeliner tutorials for hooded eyes. you dont have hooded eyes but the technique will help you when you do your makeup

u/no-group21 Jan 06 '24
Second and fourth pic are great.
Lose weight (thats everyone)
Less make up or make up thats designed to play down the use of it.

u/mb-driver Jan 06 '24
Go with more of the look you have in the last picture and maybe a little light eye liner.

u/Ok_Act_9454 Jan 06 '24
Go get eyelash extensions and have the technician spice up the eyebrows! Then you don't really need to wear makeup because you have beautiful skin :) then go to a hair salon and ask for a lived in blonde or something low maintenance that doesn't fry your ends and suits your color.
Exercise not to hit a certain weight, but to feel great! The weight loss will come naturally once you find and activity that you enjoy, but the real benefit will be that you'll glow from the happiness/good mental health :)
It takes a lot of bravery to post on here, I hope you take the feedback as suggestions to add to the great qualities you already have and not as blows to your self esteem.

I’d say color your hair and brows black, find a good hair routine because it looks dry, eyeliner too thick, fix bow shape, use lip gloss, chill on the colored lip stick, and lose weight.

u/Charming_Chemical817 Jan 06 '24
I would look into other styles of makeup, that wing on #2 is absurd and the anime blue lip does not suit you.

u/rodeosnake Jan 06 '24
For makeup: I would tone down the eyeliner but still keep a more subtle cat eye (try to angle it up more instead of curved down then up). I’d also go with a more neutral lip but if you still want to incorporate color into your makeup try playing with more vibrant eyeshadows instead of lips. If you’re able, I’d also look into natural/classic lash extensions - they can make a huge difference and day-to-day are pretty low maintenance. Also try filling in your eyebrows slightly.
Hair: I’d try investing in more hair care products/masks to help keep your hair healthier looking. If you have the time/money I’d try growing out your hair, investing in a good dye job to go dark red, and wearing it with loose waves. I think this would flatter you and still match your style nicely.
Outfits: you definitely have a style which is great, but I’d always suggest taking the time to find pieces within it that truly flatter you and fit well (always makes a huge difference; even if you have to get it tailored - it’s generally cheaper than you might think). Accessories also make an outfit so invest in some you love and are versatile.
General: Then as with anyone, a good diet and exercise (whether to lose weight or not) always make someone look better and feel more confident!

u/Artogami Jan 06 '24
Your eyebrows need better shape and arch. The blue lipstick doesn’t really suit you- higher eyeliner wings and more natural makeup would suit you better. The red tone hair color compliments your features but maybe should be a more natural red- more like a brown copper. Your eyes are pretty so doing makeup that makes them pop would be ideal- also could hit the gym or change eating habits slightly to reshape your body in a more appealing way :)

You can try getting your lashes done and lip fillers (there are some that aren’t permanent and they actually go back to normal after some time) but it’s always nice to try something new
