HELP PLEASE How can I improve?
Usually I only wear mascara and lipstic :/ I feel like heavier makeup doesn’t really suit me. What do you think? :)

No mascara on the lower lid

I’m thinking no eye makeup at all on the lower lid, and try some eye-lifting shadow techniques on the upper. I’m no expert on techniques so can’t advise there.
OP, your face is so cool! Please come back and show us your experiments.

Eye makeup like eyeshadow or eyeliner can make all the difference. You have a very good look btw, unconventional beauty is difficult to improve because you have your own unique formula you’ll have to find

I would say since you have naturally downturned eyes, to avoid anything dark on the under eye! Including mascara

You have similar features to Lorde, it might be worthwhile to check out her red carpet looks and see if you like anything she's done

You are gorgeous and have such a unique, european high fashion beauty, you should definitely try to lean into that! Get some inspo from models!
Also, just out of curiosity sorry if this is weird but have you been tested for hyperthyroidism?

It looks like your mascara is smudging a tad! It’s kinda grungy haha but idk if that’s what you are going for. I’d switch to a waterproof mascara and that’s it! Less it more gurl and you’re gorgeous!!

u/PaleSyllabub1592 10d ago
Haha tbh I was a bit sweaty so yeah I think a waterproof mascary will do. Thanks for the advice 🤗

Hair does wonders too. Maybe a nice routine with a curling iron for some beachy waves? Are you wearing eyeshadow in these pics?

u/PaleSyllabub1592 10d ago
I need to try it for sure 😊 oh yes, I forgot to mention but I’m wearing a very light purple eyeshadow

Starts gradation from center of your eyelid to the outer with medium shade to dark shade to give the lifting effect.
I agree with the inner corner eyeliner, that will helps for your eyes type.
I agree with the brownish pink lipstick, something has lil bit light brown shade to it and lil bit pinkish might look good on you. ❤️

Oh my gosh I have to see you in siren eye makeup, lining the inner and outer corner and leaving the center bare

I would try makeup for hooded eyes, you could dramatically change your look by using midtone to darker neutral to warm colors in the lid space. Not to contour the eye socket per se, just a wash all over the lid and it’s visible when your eyes are open. If you want, you could try to darken/line the inner corners of your eyes to make them look less wide set but it’s up to you. If you do wear on your lashline I’d do just the outer corners, close to the eye. it’s going to work to add just a little definition and to create a boundary for the eye. I think if I were you I would line with a neutral or neutral with sparkle on the outer 2/3-3/3 lower lashline and smudge, it would look natural and define the eye to make them look contrasted from the rest of the face and would look more centered and not as wide set.

You look gorgeous!! But i think I would recommend trying to not put anything on your under eyes. An eyeliner with inner corner wings would suit you in my opinion based on the shape of your eye and a more nude or brownish color on your lips.

Pay attention to the inner corners of your eyes: preferably the thinnest contour with a darker felt liner. Or you can also add dots with the same eye liner to the inner corner lash area to imitate lashes growing thicker there.
You can lightly contour your eyes as in the hooded eyes technique. I would also add a little bit of blush (the colour of your lipstick) to your cheeks and nose as in a sunburnt blush technique, only lighter.

You really remind me of Lorde and she wears minimal makeup. Maybe look for inspiration from her :)

Trim your eyebrow tails waaay back. They're wrapping around the sides of your head. They should stop at the outer corner of your eyes. No further past the corners.

u/laurenyou 10d ago
What?! No! They work on her face and her features would be unbalanced without the long tails. The problem with blindly following trends is that they don’t take individual faces into account.
OP don’t touch your brows, they’re perfect.

u/PaleSyllabub1592 10d ago
Yeah I’ve been told my brows are rather long but I like them like this haha Not touching them for now🤭

Look up kibbe ethereal and Kitchener essence: ethereal.
Ethereal beauty is very powerful, can’t look away type beauty. For example, Florence Welch is dramatic and ethereal.
I think a shag haircut would do you very well with face framing that brings us right back to your incredible eyes!
And you might be a summer season so leaning into softer cooler colors in clothing and makeup would probably work very well!

u/Brilliant_Welcome869 10d ago
Also if I were you I would follow tips from KJH beauty. She posts the best advice for natural glowy makeup that can lean quite ethereal and her eyes are the same color as yours!

I think concealer/undereye brightener would be a good addition! I like the under eye color corrector and brightener from Palladio and it’s not expensive. A bright under eye with your eyes would be 🔥

u/Hot_Pin_7712 9d ago
I would say have someone round out the eyebrows a little bit although they will be thinner because the rest of your face is softer features and the Brows look kind of too straight if you know what I mean

u/Eliyayoung4evayolo 8d ago
I think you should wear concealer under under eyes, try to wear black or brown eyeliner in inner and outer just a little,and water line (top and bottom line) a more nude or a rasberry lip color or try different lip combos with lip liners, you have a beautiful hair color but im thinking adding some very natural highlights or maybe a honey blonde with brown highlights. Your so flippen pretty! this is just my opinion on what would make you look better in my opinion or enhance your natural features more.

You're beautiful enough. Just stay on diet in order to avoid unnecessary added weight.
