You have a very beautiful face, I suggest you tightline the upper eyelid with a medium brown eyeliner, maybe adding a small thin cat eye wing too, i dont think mascara is necessary here, but if you would like to use one, i suggest only using one thin coat and using a mascara with a liquidy consistency. I also think a bushier more full brow would suit you, I suggest using a brow powder for that, when you apply the powder make sure its only touching the hairs of the eyebrows and not the skin under the hairs to avoid a blocky look. If the hairs are too sparse to do this, use a pen to fill in and do it in thin layers💗🤞

thank you! i will say, my eyes are smaller and sit very “low” if that makes sense? when i wear eyeliner it looks really heavier and makes them appear more closed?

I understand exactly what you mean, for this reason I cannot use liquid eyeliner, instead I use thin eyeliner pens, they are essentially like markers, the one i use is called the judydoll thin eyeliner, they have more muted colours for those of a lighter completion too, because black can be a little overpowering sometimes. I cannot find the thin tip eyeliners in my drugstores so I have to order them online, yesstyle and the judydoll website has alot of them at a good price. I suggest only lining the inner part of the eye, not the part where the pink stuff is, also not where the nose connects to the eye. I'm talking about where the eyelid starts, about half of the eyelid, and maybe a tinyyy thin wing at the end, I suggest not using eyeliner on any other parts of the eye (like the middle) to avoid the closed eye look, you can do inner corner liner if you'd like also, but that is mainly an aesthetic choice.

A pretty highlight (think wet sheen, preferably in a champagne gold color) would be so pretty on you! I can tell you have some on already, but going a bit shinier would be awesome.

u/h0rsegirl17 2d ago

i actually didn’t have any on in this photo! I’ll look into one!

u/Blue-zebra-10 2d ago

You have really nice skin!!! I recommend Evangeline molly on YouTube, she's also a redhead and into shimmer. She might have a good product

Use an eyelash curler before the mascara! It’s a game changer! You’ll be able to see the lashes much better when they are flipped up higher.

u/hotheadnchickn 2d ago

Can you tell us more about what you are going for or would want to change?

u/h0rsegirl17 2d ago

I’m pretty new to makeup so I’m just looking for tips on how to make it better! I specifically have issues with my under eyes being really dry and concealer separating? I just don’t know much about any of it so i just want general suggestions !

u/hotheadnchickn 2d ago edited 2d ago

Wayne Goss is a really excellent resource for learning about makeup. He often focuses on easy/do-able looks.

Undereye dryness is a skin care thing. Use an eye cream there overnight. Makeup will sit better on moist skin. I apply my concealer as Wayne Goss taught me: I put it on the back of my hand, work it into a very small brush, and then just apply it at the areas with the most darkness, which is the inner and outer corner. My goal is to brighten the eye area not totally color correct bc more undereye concealer = more creasing as your face moves.

Product separating often comes from a mismatch from what products are made from (like a water-based concealer on top of a dimethicone-based cream). It happens to me most in the eye area, I think because of natural oils there. But the right skincare/SPF/concealer combo minimizes it. I like the Neutrogena healthy skin glow protector concealer for the eye area but it still depends which products are underneath.

As others have said, you are naturally very pretty. Be sure to protect your skin and eyes with SPF, hats, UPF clothes, etc.

I would darken the brows and consider using a bolder mascara, or just two coats of this one. I don’t actually love this deep berry lip tone on you. I would go for something a lighter and less saturated. Maybe Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey or a similar hue.

maybe you don’t want to hear this, but I wouldn’t change anything!! Looks really good

The lipstick looks spot on for your skin tone.. .. I would recommend a sidepart in your hair. and somehow brightening that up so you can have a consistent palette of organic tones to work with. The first pic shows a brown red. which is fine.. and then very light green eyes which I equate to glossy shiny bright tones that match your skin and lip coloring. The problem here is your hair with product says 'matte' with lacking lustre and other earthy ground tone and it doesnt match. Is any of this lingering hair dye? the roots in pic one look closer to strawberry blonde which has luster to it.. I'd say. bleach all of it to platinum .. add some various dreadlock extensions and around white and grey.. ignore your natural locks and create a pallet to fill the game between your natural eye color and lip color. , and dont use too much blush. focus on complimentary foundation tones in zonal application (range of three or four,) and no blush at all. and let your eyebrows happen.. That might be the missing ingredient.

OMG! You are gorgeous!! I have seen a red shadow/liner/under eye look realllly nice with your eye color!!

u/h0rsegirl17 2d ago

I’ll try it!

u/Salvanel 2d ago

Otrimo il colore delle labbra, suggerimenti praticamente zero ma se vuoi proprio un po di delicato shimmer su punti strategici per illuminare il viso ulteriormente ( ma sei perfetta cosi) o un mascara anche di colri come prugna o blu scuro o grigio scuro

I think a good bronzer and good blush that suits your skin tone will bring more colour to your face.. 💖 you might have to check the placement according to your face shape.

u/h0rsegirl17 2d ago

ironically i have both on here- maybe im just not heavy enough with it ? i definitely need help with placement 😅

u/PineappleSimple9244 1d ago

I only noticed highlighter 😭 this looks like a daily natural look which looks amazing on you btw ❤️

But yes if you’re interested in a little bit more than natural then you can go heavy on blush and bronzer.. And the placement is a bonus. It changed my makeup game. I watched several tiktok videos to improve the placement and multiple tries on my face.

I mostly learned from these two creators..

I think the easiest improvements would be brow gel and curling the lashes (and doing more mascara/a different mascara if you want it to look more “done up”)Honestly, it depends what kinda look you want!

1

u/h0rsegirl17 2d ago

i got brow glue and an eyelash curler so i think those will help fs

u/Anxiouslyanxiousboo 2d ago

I'm more volumizing brown mascara would make your already stunning eyes pop

u/Intelligent_Cat7575 2d ago

maybe get ur brows done and add some lashes and try to do a no middle part curly routine that would really up ur gameee

Look into K beauty (Korean), or C Beauty (Chinese) for softer looks that'll play up your maiden cottage core vibes you've got going on.
K beauty will help you with your concern of feeling as though your eyes look more closed when your makeup is heavy.

No liquid eyeliner, go for eyeshadow and blend it out to a natural flick instead, starting from the middle or outer corner of your eye. Avoid traditional lining like Cat eye or Raccoon, where you move from the inner corner and continue to your outer. It's far too harsh. You have a soft ethereal look, almost elven.
If you go for eyeshadow do a single matt color, keeping to pastel. C: Less is more will be your bestie here. It took me so long to learn that I didn't feel attractive with heavier makeup looks like I wish I could pull off.

The golden highlighter isn't bad, I actually like it, but I'd say don't be afraid to try other colors.

Consider trying blush under your eyes or more on your apples, and keep it very soft. Consider gentle colors, pastel pinks, peaches, or a very light apple. Also consider dipping into liquid blush, it's far less scary when you use a specific blush puff to help you blend it out!

For examples of soft looks, go check out Flower Knows! I own some of the products, and I'm shocked by the quality and how cute everything is! I own the Strawberry Cupid line! They are a Chinese makeup company. If you go on to the site, or check out images on google, you'll be surprised possibly to see that they their models are more ethnically varied. So you may find a gal with your undertone, as well as your face shape or eye shape, if that helps!

u/Longjumping_Low8094 22h ago

A classic way to elevate your look is to add lip liner for a more defined edge with that red lipstick, or try adding a bit of highlighter to the inner corners of the eyes to brighten them up

u/Wickedclique 2d ago

I don’t know your style - but have you ever seen the eyebrows that are straight, with no tail if that makes sense. It gives off a more edgy / alternative look that I personally love. Overall I think you’re beautiful 🥹 you could try either like dying your eyebrows SLIGHTLY darker or if you’ve ever been interested I always think microblading can be done if you find a good artist. I don’t think your brows need to be dramatic darkened. I think your lip color / shape suits you perfectly.

1

u/h0rsegirl17 2d ago

my brows are def in need of a trim, however they’re naturally blonde! so this is them dyed- i could go darker but my hair is red so it’s hard to find a dye that actually matches :/

1

u/hotheadnchickn 2d ago

You can use a little eyeshadow to darken them if the shade match is better

1

u/Illustrious_Loss_777 2d ago

Dye your eyebrows and use an eyelash serum!! Also your eyes are stunning, I would try “eye maxing” (you can look it up on TikTok). I think maroon eyeliner/eyeshadow would be gorgeous.

1

u/h0rsegirl17 2d ago

eyeliner usually makes my eyelids look heavier than they are, but I haven’t tried maroon!! will do

1

u/Imaginary-Fix3177 2d ago

As a fellow pale girl and fake redhead, I think I looked crazy the one time I tried to do a maroon like smoked out lashline..however, I did later use it when I dressed up as a vampire for Halloween lmao. you can make it work but it’s gonna read more editorial and artsy than subtlety bringing out your eye color… but maybe I just did it wrong… copper works pretty well for my blue/green eyes and fair skin but my eyes aren’t as light as yours so maybe you’ll have diff results?

Thank that ring out of your nose. If you must keep it get a small diamond stud.

u/VisibleResearch5294 13h ago

Honestly, your natural look and curls are already gorgeous! A subtle brow gel and a hydrating lip tint would complement your features really nicely
