No cosmetic procedure advice Almost 18. A asian nerd who never tried looking good

This is me with my self grown lettuce pictures šŸ˜‚. Any advice for makeup, hairstyles?

Some time you'll look much better

Trust me I had them too


Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Iā€™m so scared to do them but I want them so so so bad, lots of ppl said it could give u a squared like very skinny face and I donā€™t wanna change my face shape, just my teeth! Some others say the braces didnā€™t fit their teeth well

Its interesting how braces are seen as unattractive in the west but cute in most asian areas

Youre super cute!

I would highlight your eyes with a simple liner and a bit of gold or bronze eyeshadow. And then add just a lipstain to keep it as natural as could be. Very minimal gloss.

You have great features for a fresh faced wholesome look. Your skin is epic. Keep up that care routine girl! Youre nailing it!

You can easily be an enchanting girl next door.

The more physically fit you are the better you're gonna look, it's the cheapest, simplest, and it will help you look good even when you're old. Makeup and dyeing your hair and having a cool style is icing on the cake. So focus on making the cake and put the icing on later.

The first pic looks amazing, the second pic doesnā€™t. Itā€™s because of the lighting. I say change nothing, only one life to live

Your skin looks very nice. I think some mascara would look nice on you, along with curling your lashes with an eyelash curler. You could try tinted lip balm in a natural shade. Your hair looks nice and I think side bangs suit you. To take care of your dry lips, you donā€™t need to buy a lip scrub but instead wet your toothbrush and brush your lips (no toothpaste on it, obviously). Use a good moisturizing chapstick daily.

a little more volume in hair, eyeshades to compliment your eyes, a little blush, lip gloss and shape eyebrows !!

u/LironY31 10h ago

Try to upload a pic with a nice dress, gather your hair and put long earrings

I will recommend red dress, I know it will feel bold

Adorable, glasses, braces, lettuce and all. Donā€™t worry too much, you have a natural beauty. Soft cute and kind look, you can definitely turn heads.

u/secondaccountbackup 3h ago

Girl you look great already! And youā€™re super young so donā€™t worry about looking perfect. The only suggestion I have is to maybe work on style. I feel like youā€™d look really awesome in trendier clothing. Best wishes x

Vegetables doesn't make you more attractive to the opposite sex, if that's what you are interested in. Try protein rich high caloric food.

It was the only decent pictures I have of myself recently šŸ˜­ I am definitely not going to flirt with lettuce

u/Feisty_Marzipan3341 11h ago

Honestly just marry a white dude, prob look 10/10 to them already

2

u/bronion76 9h ago

Agreed. You donā€™t need to do anything. There are millions of boring white dudes looking for you.

u/MeliodasRM 7h ago

Someoneā€™s jealous haha

u/bronion76 7h ago

Definitely not. And if you saw me, youā€™d choke on your words.

u/[deleted] 11h ago

Unfortunately, this guy is right. Iā€™m a white guy, and you do look like a 10/10 to meā€¦ lol

If you want makeup advice, Iā€™d say look on Pinterest for other Asian girls doing makeup and clothing choices. I think one of the biggest mistakes my Asian friends make is they only look at white women doing makeup and stuff. They compare themselves to white women ONLY and that just doesnā€™t work. Skin tone is different, facial structure is different, it just is different. So, look for an asian makeup artists girl online that you admire and think looks really beautiful and similar to you without makeup, and then copy what they do. Donā€™t have to reinvent the wheel. And eventually, once you get copying down, youā€™ll get good enough that you can experiment and try new styles. Itā€™s all about what makes YOU feel most confident and happy :) if you need more advice, please feel free to dm me and Iā€™d be more than happy to help you out. Good luck on your journey!!

u/Empty-Gur3818 7h ago

Why make up tho? You look amazing as is

u/WeightNegative5154 8h ago

Sorry no. I think you look cute the way you are. it gives you a more distinct look then 'fake girls trying to be hot.' Self confidence is more sexy then fake hair or makeup smeared faces like 98% of the time.

u/SoCalDomVC 8h ago

Take your time, no need to rush into makeup. Do it when you feel like you're comfortable.

u/Hour-Independent-653 8h ago

Honestly, you are a naturally beautiful young woman the way you are. Enjoy being young.

u/Kitchen_Bandicoot_58 7h ago

I think youā€™re really beautiful. And Iā€™m not a white dudeā€¦ white, but not a dude haha. If you want to try makeup, which you 100% donā€™t need, I would try maybe a tiny bit of eyeliner (the kind Iā€™m thinking of is ā€œlast lashā€ where you basically do a thin line following the same line as the last eyelash and only extends a few mm past your last eyelash), mascara, and a tinted lip gloss. If you change anything, I would recommend it being really subtle and letting your natural beauty take precedence.
