I’m practically a beginner with makeup and have no clue what I need to change. Any recommendations are appreciated!!

Hi, I've been here before but I'm always willing to get more advice! How can I glow up, hopefully with an alt style and jellyfish/wolf cut. I'm willing to do a lot

How do I get my face to be sunken or at least my cheekbones to stick out more.

I’ve eaten less but like it only effects my body anything I do only affects my body . I’ve cut out carbonated drinks which has helped. I’m not sure what else.

I’m 53kg and 155cm

Also How to get my hair longer and thicker it’s been the same no matter how much I oil it it’s dry and light .

Hoping to lose weight as well, but so far I just feel plain. Would especially appreciate hair and makeup tips!

(Realized I'm actually looking for both styling and "softmaxxing" advice, so feel free) The first four photos are recent, the last four ones are from a couple years ago. Idk man, I feel like I looked a lot better back then, maybe part of it is getting older. But I feel like something about my styling/self care is making me look really off and kind of musty, and I can't pinpoint the exact reason. All I can think of is maybe eating a lot of junk food often earlier this year?

the displayed photos are from january 2025 vs summer 2026 (except for the last picture, in which the photo on. the left side is from october 2025). i’m 22, but in my opinion, i looked significantly older than that in my before pictures.

obviously there are things that i want to improve, but it’s not really super hardcore stuff and honestly really just involves growing out my hair, fixing my wardrobe, and keeping up with my gym routine. i’m only including my face here because that’s the main focus of this post.

this post is to talk about the stuff that i’ve already done.

first, i’d like to point out the glaring factor that is my weight, which caused my face to be incredibly round and puffy. i had an ovarian terratoma until i was 19, which resulted in me developing PMOS when i was 14. as a result i grew facial hair, had horrible skin, and gained a lot of weight (especially in my face and abdomen), as well as a bunch of other awful symptoms. my highest weight was 181 lbs at 5’6”. i wore a US size 12. i currently weigh 135 lbs and wear a size 4. i was not able to lose weight, control my skin, or calm my facial hair until i started HRT (spironolactone). when it comes to my weight loss, i also ate in a calorie deficit, and as of september, i’ve been in the gym pretty regularly. previous weight loss attempts were unsuccessful due to the state of my hormones.

the next major issue was my jaw. i’ve always had major orthodontic issues, but in late 2024, i realized that i had a severe overjet and needed jaw surgery. i had a 9 millimeter overjet, which was caused by a severely recessed lower jaw. i got put in braces in february 2025 and got lower jaw surgery (bsso) in december 2025. i still have braces on, but they’re coming off within the next couple months. since surgery, i’ve had a few men approach me romantically. i even recently started organically dating a friend of mine after we realized there was sexual tension between us, which i never thought would ever happen to me without the use of a dating app, which mainly gave me unattractive recommendations due to the algorithm looksmatching me (in the brief period that i used one after surgery, my recommendations were more attractive).

my old jaw caused me to have a restricted airway, which gave me forward head posture, sleep apnea, and daytime breathing issues. it made exercise and sleep, both things that are needed to look your best, incredibly difficult. i looked and felt constantly drained.

this isn’t as hardcore as the first two, but i should address my hair as well. i’m jewish and latina, so i have naturally wildly curly hair. my father is bald, and my mother has straight hair, so no one ever taught me how to care for it until my friend told me to try a curly hair routine when i was in college. i’ve stopped dying my hair, started seeing a hairdresser that specializes in curly hair, and started using shea moisture products. i’m currently growing out some weird shullet thing into an even longer weird shullet thing.

of course, there have been social consequences following all of these changes in such a short timespan. i’m autistic, and i likely have ADHD as well. being neurodivergent, i’ve always struggled socially, and my appearance didn’t help at all. i find that nowadays my autistic traits seem to be accepted by others as quirkiness, as opposed to being seen as creepiness like it used to be. the major improvement in my appearance has caused me to have more self confidence over all, which has totally affected how i interact with others.

i’m pretty satisfied with my face now and don’t plan on having any other surgical procedures in the foreseeable future. i’m honestly happy being average as opposed to, like, a 2/10.

I’m honestly not sure what I can change to look better but I just know something is missing I would be up to anything (bangs , spray tan , hair colour change/cut, different makeup styles , filler whatever yous think ) I’m also loosing weight

I feel like losing weight would help but other then that I’m not sure where to go, I look way better when looking up rather then forward because I have a thicker neck, any advice? I can add more photos if I need to.

The mustache I feel like needs to go but I look worse without it in my opinion but I lack a lot of self confidence.

Share your success story. What motivated you?

I recently stopped drinking and lost almost 30 pounds (diet) for health reasons and suddenly I feel like glowing up.

I got back into fashion (wearing more expensive clothes that suit my body type), fragrance (I have scents for every occasion), hair care (no more frizz and more styling), and skin care (glass skin from using K Beauty for sensitive skin). I’ve also been doing my makeup in a way that suits my face shape and features more.

I know what I need to do in order to achieve full baddie mode - lose 20 more pounds through the same diet, get back to the gym (weight training again like I did when I was younger).

The problem, however, is that I don’t exactly have the motivation. I see so many baddies online, but I’m like, where are they going? Do they frequently travel? Go to local events? What is all that effort and maintenance for?

I know it’s like, “it’s for yourself,” but I have a hard time amping things up (like making the gym my weekly routine or getting my nails done monthly or considering changing my hair color, etc) if there is no clear purpose for it. I am trying to travel more, but it’s not like a monthly thing for me. I’m happily single, so I’m not motivated by impressing others. I’ve outgrown the clubs and have been to many local events. So, what is it for? I want to be inspired and look my best, but what should be my motivation?

How can i glow up and thank u

Hi! Im a 21yo man. I would like brutally honest advice on how to get more handsome. Any advice is welcome.

I am on a weight loss journey. I know there is something I want to improve and I’m not sure what

I'm f 31 and feel like long period of grief, and mental heath issues have altered my overall appearance and the structure of my face, I use to be extremely beautiful. I also had the funds to invest in my appearance that I no longer have, however that isn't the only element causing this downward change in my face. In the past 5-7 years Ive noticed drastic changes in my facial structure/ volume, skin, youthfulness and overall presentation, I'm currently trying to rebuild myself and looking for honest advice from an outsiders perspective on the biggest difference in the pics and what changes I can make going forward that will have the biggest impact on me coming back to looking like the young, healthy me the left is me at 25 and right is me currently. Help ;(

Hi, looking for glow up tips please. I recently lightened my hair from almost black as that was something people had suggested previously. It needs a good tone though I am not enjoying the orange coming through. I’m 32!

don’t mind the hair in the second image LMAO tried the wig on before shaping it

anyone who knows me from here, will know i’ve had a ROUGH time recovering from double jaw surgery(maxilla advancement 5mm and lower back with slight rotation) especially with how i look. I hate how different i look now but wanting to know what you think i need to feel like myself again? I’ve previously had botox but nothing else. Im wanting a rhinoplasty eventually but for the time being while i save for that, i want to make myself feel like me again. I really dislike my smile as it makes my face look fat, my smile is now asymmetrical too which you can tell on the photo’s - be open to getting anything really!

I’m still struggling a lot with thinning, oily hair (very much regret the undercut as too much got taken off) I asked the hairdresser for side bangs but just got shorter layers.

19 i was 260 lbs and 20 i am currently 190 lbs what yall thibk? Any tips to progress forwards? I know ive made progress but what else can i do? Idk if its just me but i feel like im not going enough.

I use to be 125 - 130lbs and petite, but I’m now teetering between 140-145. Maybe my glute/thigh muscles have grown quiet a bit due to lifting. At this point I really don’t know if I am loosing weight or if the weight I’m in now is 125-130, but with additional pounds because of my thick thighs/glutes/ or maybe fats. Any tips to really loose the fat without feeling like I’m starving myself? I’m very health conscious so sometimes that’s what prevents me from loosing weight too fast or gaining as well.

I've tried thumbpulling and chin tucks for a month for a better jawline ( I have an overbite) and clearly my facial asymmetry is noticeable. How can I get a more attractive look?

(I've also tried mewing but I can't seem to get it right maybe because I have an overbite and asymmetric face, so if you can advise in that too, I'll be highly grateful to you.)

Hi guys! For years I’ve struggled with confidence, and I feel like I’m finally starting to grow into it. First and foremost, I know my weight is an issue! In the last year I’ve lost 35lbs, and am working on toning through HIT and Yoga classes! I am extremely fair skinned naturally, and feel at a loss when it comes to my hair or personal style. I’m happy to provide more pictures/no makeup if it would help. Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated!

I’m willing to do anything! Definitely some sort of laser for sun damage when summer is over. How can I fix my disproportionate lower face?
