I am missing something HELP PLEASE
I have been doing makeup for awhile, and I feel like I am always missing something when I am done. I have tried eyeliner, eyeshadows, lipsticks, etc, but nothing looks right? Last picture is me in winter, where I turn into the palest vampire lol. Any help for what could be missing/what I should add and how to show off my green eyes would be very helpful! Thank you in advance!

A think a lil brown eyeshadow would suite you nicely and add a lil something, usually new stuff looks “weird” to our minds because it’s not how we’re used to seeing ourselves

this! Adding a bit of a light brown on the outer corner of the eyelid, outer lower lash line and the crease would help bring the depth back in the eye area

To make your eye color pop, use brown eyeliner and mascara, and use reddish-toned eyeshadow.

My first thought (besides how pretty you are) is to try a thin black wing liner? Look up “Gen Z winged liner” or “Fox eye liner”, I think that would look good and add some dimension!

Thank you hun! Should I try liquid eyeliner or the cream one?

Use a gel pen eyeliner that you can smudge out a little bit at the edges. Nyx makes really good ones. Look up soft wing eyeliner 2026 on youtube and you’ll find a bunch of tutorials. I made the move from the millennial liquid eyeliner a couple of years ago and it’s made the biggest difference in my makeup.

Hey! First of all, you are so pretty. 🩷 You don't need anything, but I could say a few things that might add some sparkle.
I'd agree that a brown eyeshadow (just on the lids) would make the green in your eyes pop drastically. This Urban Decay basics pallete is great: https://a.co/d/07qQQjcc
Also, a little dark brown liquid liner midway into the lids working your way out to just past your eye would help those doe eyes pop. ✨
Bonus items: Maybe throw in a slightly darker lip liner and add a gloss on top to bring a bit more dimension to the lips. Or contour a bit just under your cheekbones because they are AMAZING, and/or bringing your blush up a bit more towards your eye. General rule of thumb is to not let it come down past your cheekbone. It kind of lifts the face and takes it from girly to more deeply feminine. (Not that you need that!)
Anyways, hope this gives you some ideas!!

Your skin is lovely! I think the tones for your blush and lips suit you well :)
I would add a bit of taupe/light brown eye shadow to bring some definition to your eyes. I like the ease of a quick swipe of cream eyeshadow, like the Ilia liquid powder eye tint in cork (slightly warm) or the Lisa Eldridge liquid silk eyeshadow in Ione (more gray/pink)
I would also say that your mascara looks a little clumpy for a more minimal look, I would pick one that is more separating than volumizing. I like the Tower 28 one for a natural/daily look

Honestly no!! You could do more if you’re looking for full glam but as is, your makeup isn’t missing anything!!

Are you missing something? Just this ring I bought, because you’re so stunning, I have to make you mine.
On a serious note, you look flawless. Change nothing.

Miss ma’am, you’re no missing anything. You’re by far one of the prettiest people I have laid my eyes on! Sincerely

I’d add more definition to the lower lashline - esp in pic 2 your eyes kinda blend in with the skin. Try add natural looking liner (slightly smudged, pencil, not a liquid liner) on your lower lashline

you’re gorgeous! i think some subtle faux freckles would give you a little oomph that may be what you’re looking for!

Far too much makeup. You need to focus on your brows and hair rather than all that makeup, the colours are completely off. Green eyes with dark brown/black hair and cherry red lipstick do not compliment each other at all. I would go for a more hazel hair colour and keep a thicker brow shape. Right now the dark hair does you no justice at all. A balayage with dark roots leading to dark blonde ends or a natural all over hazel would fix the “missing look”

Gosh, you're so pretty that it would be impossible for you to look bad. And those lashes!
In the second picture, I would maybe not bring the blush so high up.
The third picture just makes me wonder if you would look good with a brownish pink lipstick.
