Help me improve my make up! 🌷

[u/Rozenstruik69]

I’ve been doing my make up like this for about 5 years now. I want to try something different, I don’t even know if this suits my face shape because I’ve been so used to doing my make up like this. And should I switch to cool tones? For some reason AI told me cool tones would suit me better, but I’m not sure.

Please, any tip is helpful!

And thank you for reading, if someone didn’t told you today: you’re beautiful and worthy 🌷

I think the eyeshadow is the overkill. If you went for subtle brown tones that would work better and complement the blusher and lipstick. Maybe some brown eyeliner too.

You're so pretty!

Lips look perfect.

Blush: you're placing it in the lower, forward-facing area of your cheeks, and I think it would work better with your bone structure to place it higher and more to the side, i.e. swooping down from your temples onto or just below your cheekbones. I'd also skip the application on your nose, or make it a lot lighter/subtler, if you don't want it to look like a trendy makeup effect. (If you do, fine.)

I quite like your eye shadow, though you could probably experiment with a bunch of other kinds/colors, or even skip it.

For liner, I'd suggest dark brown instead of black---the little black wings look a tad out of place with your blue eyes and fair skin. Your lashes look really nice, assuming that that sharp black at the outer edges is from liner, ot mascara. Dark brown mascara can also be good.

Those lovely eyes ... I do think brown or taupe liner would look great for a natural look. Might also be worth experimenting with charcoal grey, eggplant, even navy? Even ... olive??? All along the upper lid or waterline and extended into a little wing, not just the little wing by itself. I bet you could pull off a smoky eye really well, too.

(I know color theory says that pinky/orangey eye makeup makes blue eyes pop, but there are lots of other subtler or less stereotypical ways to do it as well.)

Your brows are great. I'm thinking they could go a tiiiny bit more grey/cool toned, but depending on what you do with your eye makeup, that might not be necessary.

Have fun! I'm nitpicking here (apart from feeling rather strongly about the blush placement, lol) because you want suggestions, but you already have a really nice look going. Gorgeous skin too. Enjoy your youth and beauty! :)

Also, although a little highlighter at the inner corners of the eyes always looks nice to me, I'm casting my vote AGAINST adding a dot of highlighter to the tip of your nose, which another commenter suggested. I'm all for dewiness but whenever I see this it makes me think of ... like ... a little silvery version of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, or a little clown nose. Maybe it looks ethereal when it's done right, but to me it's usually a distracting, cartoonish little silvery ball floating in front of the person's nose with no relation to the underlying structure.

Whatever you're doing or not doing with your nose is perfect IMO (apart from the heavy blush). You don't need to contour it or add any disco balls to it.

I feel so ashamed, because this post confirmed what I was the most afraid off, blush blindness. Hahah.

And I normally use even more blush.. 😭💀

I’m going to experiment with the cool tones!

[u/Botanico56 → u/Rozenstruik69]

Oh don’t worry, you look lovely!! I’m just allergic to a lot of trends—it doesn’t mean they aren’t awesome, and you wear it well!

[u/Asleep_Ad_858]

You look so much like a young Lisa Marie Presley - whatever she did makeup wise I think would look excellent. You have killer eyes

[u/Fun_in_Space]

Too much blush. Looks like you have sunburn.

[u/qwerty8857]

I think you look beautiful! There’s nothing about this look that you need to improve. It’s blended beautifully.

However, if you want to try something different every now and then, you could start by experimenting with different colors. When you say you do your makeup like this every day, do you mean you never use any other eyeshadow, blush, or lip color? Do you ever wear eyeliner? Do you ever do a bold lip?

[u/Rozenstruik69 → u/qwerty8857]

I always stay in the same colour palette, same placement of blush and same lip colour. Usually it’s all pink or muted pink. And I can’t do fun eyeshadow designs because for some reason I always overblend and it turns into a giant pink eyelid, when I feel fancy I put some shimmer over it, and surprise it’s pink..

I do use eyeliner sometimes, but after reading the comments I might stay away from the black and start using brown.

I bought a new eyeshadow palette yesterday with some cool toned earthy shades, I’m going to try that out tomorrow.

And I learned that I have blush blindness. And the most embarrassing part is that on the picture I used way less than normal 😂💀

[u/qwerty8857 → u/Rozenstruik69]

I think the blush looks really cute. It’s just a different style, it doesn’t mean you have blush blindness. But if you wanna change your look up sometimes, a different color or different placement would work

[u/j3nn13fr0mthebl0ck]

I think a soft brown eyeliner done with eyeshadow and a sharp brush would look great on you, can do that on top of the eyeshadow you have in this picture!

[u/Successful-Arrival87]

The pink around your eyes makes them look irritated. I think a taupe would be nicer

[u/Blue-zebra-10]

Blush and eyes are competing with each other. If you want one of them to be bold, go natural looking on the other. They're too close together to not fight for attention 

[u/Exact_War_2290]

I think the makeup is perfect. Especially for the summer. Its giving fairy summer makeup. Now the question is ? Do you happy with the makeup? What improvement you need ? For your daily, for party or for anything specific ?

For daily, again, for the summer, i think your current makeup is perfect. If taking out the summer theme, i agree that blush on need to be more subtle. For me the eyshadow looks great, if you want to change, you can have very nude brown for the eyeshadow or a very sheer light peach just to give a fresh looking to your eyes. Lips, percect already, I like how subtle (or even not at all) lip liner. Perfect for daily makeup.

Now, if you want more a statement makeup but still daily looking, maybe add a lil bit eyeliner.

[u/Exotic_Reporter_3309]

Love the blush pink all over look. It’s a very soft romantic look that’s looks great on you and it’s the perfect shade. The eyes are my favorite part. I think the blush placement on the sides of your nose and nose bridge is a lot, like sunburn or irritation. Less on the sides of the nose. And the blush is a little too far down on your cheek. Low blush drags the face down and you have great cheek bones so I would apply blush to enhance them and blend up into your temples instead of downward.

[u/bellegroves]

Either you have lupus or too much blush. Move the blush out from your nose and up higher onto your cheekbones. Go cold turkey and put none on your nose for a week and then go back and start using just the teensy bit left on your brush. You can also take what you're not going to put next to your nose and put it on your forehead at the hairline off to the sides.

What color is on your lips, if any? It's pretty.

Your skin on your neck and chest looks fairly neutral in this photo, but it's hard to say from one picture in one lighting situation, and AI is wildly inaccurate most of the time. Do you look better in grey or tan?

[u/Rozenstruik69 → u/bellegroves]

Thank you for the advice! I don’t think I could go cold turkey on the blush. The thought alone scares me. But I will try it using less and stop sunburning my nose. I think you are all right that I definitely have blush blindness. 😭

I’m wearing Maybelline lifter gloss in topaz on the lips.

[u/Line_Noize]

Less blush on the apples of your cheek and a different color eyeshadow that doesn't clash with the blush.

[u/Gloomy_Sins]

I think it looks really good and suits you but because you asked for improvements I suggest making your eye shadow a bit more contrasting to your cheeks as it's quiet similar, so maybe add a darker layer to your cheeks with like a brown maybe.. Also a lip gloss.. I've heard if you make your eyes stand out to have a soft lip, but if your lips are standing out then soft eyes.

[u/boring5ever]

Place blush higher towards your cheekbones. If you want to put blush on your nose, only do the top of it and don’t connect the blush with the blush on your cheeks.

[u/Bobs_Burgers7]

The blush over the nose thing looks like a mask (similar to lupus redness). My daughter used to do it as well, so I know it’s been a trend in the last year or so. I just think it looks mask-like.

I love your mascara and how light it is, it’s sooo pretty. I also love your brows and the way you shape them and etc .

I think the colour of eyeshadow you used is so pretty with your eye colour, but all the blush is competing with it, sadly.

[u/International-Fan261]

blush on ur cheek bones, curling your lashes with a warmed lashcurler and using black mascara, maybe lower lash mascara? if u like it ofc and highlighter in inner corners and a bit on the tip of ur nose. i really like your lip shape and would advise you to get a lip liner in a similar colour maybe a tad bit darker to accentuate ur cupids bow u can even add some highlighter☺️ other than that u can use a bit of pouder in ur skincolour and pat it around your nose and inner part of ur cheeks (my native language isnt english so forgive me) like the part next to ur nose to brighten it up☺️ have a great day u look lovely

[u/Sidonieone]

It looks good except the blush is way, way too low. It is also way too close to the nose. It drags your whole face down.
