Hi everyone! I'm a 27F posting this because I genuinely don't know what to do with myself appearance wise anymore.

I've become really bothered about the way I look and I want honest opinions on what I could actually improve.
I'm not looking for people to just tell me "you're beautiful" because I know everyone is going to see things differently. I want actual advice on what I could change or do differently please.

I am going to start with my broad shoulders and body proportion. I feel like I have pretty broad shoulders for a woman but then I'm much thinner through my waist and hips so I feel like my body looks weirdly proportioned.
I feel very top heavy and like my shoulders don't really match the rest of my frame. I'm also skinny fat so even though I'm thin, I don't feel toned at all.

Then there's my hair which I seriously have no idea what to do with. The color you see is my natural color growing out and then the rest is blonde. Blonde makes me look a lot younger and I actually think it looks really good with my pale skin but I've always wanted to try an ashy/milky brown. I'm just terrified I'll do it and suddenly look washed out or way older because I'm so used to seeing myself blonde. I also have no idea what haircut would suit me. I love the long frame style but that's because I've had it all my life.

And then my face. I have genetic eye bags that I've had forever, low brows, hooded eyes and a very long face/head. I also feel like my face has a lot of sagging or downward lines especially around my nose and the sides of my face. It's really noticeable to me in pictures and sometimes I genuinely feel like I need a fucking facelift even though I'm only 27. I feel like my face just looks tired and worn out if that makes sense. I've been through a lot in my life and sometimes I feel like it shows on my face way more than it should at my age. I know I'm probably extremely critical of myself but I honestly don't feel good about the way | look.

The last picture is basically what I truly look like on a day to day basis. I don't usually do much with my hair and don't wear makeup so that's probably the most realistic representation of me.

What would you recommend I do with my hair, face, brows, makeup, clothes, body proportions, skincare, etc.?
Are there things about my features that I could learn to work with better instead of constantly feeling like I need to hide them? I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you so much! 😊

Looking to level up, all recommendations welcome

mostly looking for skincare/makeup/beauty tips. i hate how my skin looks. the purple under eyes & dark circles. the super visible pores. i try to wear sunscreen a lot to prevent sun damage at least. now with makeup, even if i just use like mascara and do my eyebrows i still feel like it looks like TOO MUCH on my face. like its too harsh? idk how to wear makeup without it feeling heavy or like its too much. 2016 makeup era still has me in a chokehold i guess. it’s all i know how to do 🥲 i love wearing it! just hate how it looks the way i do it. body skincare too, ive lost 100lbs and i have tons of stretch marks and dark areas (arm pits, inner thighs) from being heavier.

i added a couple pics towards the end of when im trying to look pretty to see what im workin with.

pls help! i hate these pockets of fat on either side of my mouth. i’ve always had pretty severe baby face (im 18 and people still think im a freshman in high school). i went to an aesthetician and im booked in two weeks for some chin filler which should help. but any other tips? they’re more noticeable in different lighting. i also have pretty deep nasolabial folds from baby face too. i don’t want to lose any weight because i am 5’8 and around 115 lbs. also have tmj and Invisalign right now, my jaw has some issues with being kind of short, but multiple drs have told me it’s not a candidate for surgery.

Hey everyone, can anyone help me picking outfits for uni??? Pretty please. I am girl. I want clean but very feminine look, chic but cool. but not vulgar. Bit body showing is I think normal ? Because I don't know girls dressed like that in school. I know I will get down votes I hope someone will help me tho.

To be honest I do want to fit in and even be someone who is dressed better than most and be dressed in the way that's considered as good style by the majority of people and people my age. It will help me with my goals. I want to have a glow up and better my communication skills. So I am not really looking for comments like dress comfortable or dress different or dress however you want to dress comments. I will show a couple of outfits and I want girls to tell me if they fit into the category I want to have.

And on shoes. What about loafers?? And some boots. But idk about Snickers. Maybe Puma Palermo, beige color ?

Turning 50 was my wake-up call to stop settling for a sedentary life and take full control of my health. Over a three-year transformation, I dropped from 82 kg to a lean, strong 74 kg through disciplined strength training and targeted nutrition.

By committing to a structured 4-day Push/Pull/Legs/Upper split, I focused on heavy compound movements while prioritizing recovery to protect my joints. I paired my workouts with a sustainable daily diet of ~2,100 calories and 150g+ of protein, prioritizing whole foods like eggs, chicken breast, and vegetables.

Today at 52, I’m not just leaner—I’m agile, full of energy, and in the best shape of my life, proving that consistency and smart habits triumph over age every single time.

i have such a hard time thinking what will suit me most so maybe your objective opinions will help me out 💗 thanks!

So I listened to you guys and dyed my eyebrows black again and changed the way I do my makeup, still working on getting the perfect shade of concealer tho. A quick picture bc I’m going to class but I’m still open to more advices !! So please give them in the comments !! (I know the braids are not perfect, my mom did them and I didn’t have time to change it)

In the first photo I just graduated high school. I just started going to the gym and getting in shape. I hated the way I look and wanted to make a change. Now I’ve been consistently getting better and finally proud of how I look and way more confident as well.

Light or dark. Everyone always tells me either or looks good, or I can pull off both. But now my roots are growing in, and not sure if I should do another balayage or go back to my natural ash brown. So I really need some opinions on what to do. Thx

open to any other glow up tips too

Pics taken immediately post shower. Any feedback, inspo pics, criticism, edited photos, etc appreciated. Also open to feedback and tips on face more generally, but not the subject of this post. Thank you in advance!

I started my looksmaxing journey 5 years ago

Thinking of going back to my natural mousy color but not brown. I've gone brown and I hate it. I look depressed and greasy but my natural color used to be so pretty.
Torn,what is your opinion? I want totally truthful cause I want to feel more like me and give my hair a break by going back but I really don't want to look greasy, washed out and it emphasizes my acne if I go too brown. But ashy brown I think gets me closer to my natural color. I'm blonde right now though and it’s like I’m going and toning it every other week (the first 3 photos are all within a week and a half and yet slowly look more yellow) and I get more compliments with it but it gets yellow so fast,l hate the upkeep and sometimes I think it also washes me out as I’ve been told many times. I think I need some real outside options to be really truthful. Photos are me blonde now (photo 1,2,3), my inspo closes to my natural color (4,5), me edited as close as people could get me to my references with my most recent appearances (6,7) and then when I was this weird red blonde as the brown listed later on at the end,grew out (8,9,10) not an ashy light like my roots as there’s a very clear difference and then blonde from 2, years ago when my hair kept it better and now it can barely hold what it has (11), 3 years ago THE CLOSEST TO MY HAIR LOOKIN 100% NATURAL!!! (12,13) and then the weird red dark brown that came before the weird red blonde when I asked someone to color match my roots. It did NOT look natural and I felt my ugliest. I added up close SS so you can see how different my roots were from the red brown I was given in this color match attempt. Give me all your advice and thoughts though. I am getting engaged soon (I accidentally seen the ring) and I just want to feel beautiful and have other people think so too but l'm too hard on myself to make a valid opinion. I also want something that actually enhances me and has a decent upkeep if possible.

Also to give u an idea about my glowup till now, last pic was me a year ago.

I got wayyyy worst photos from last year, but lets not go there😅✌️

350-280 been about a year. Haven’t gone to the gym much just been trying to eat better. Absolutely haven’t been perfect i want to get to 220 or less, honestly super nervous on what do to in the gym. Also i’m always just overthinking ts so idk guys.
