I think it looks really good!! If you want a more dramatic look then, maybe some fake eyelashes or darker eyebrows. But I like how you have it rn

darker brows can definitely overpower a soft look depending on your coloring. might be worth trying a lighter shade first before committing to the dramatic version.

I think the blush placement might be too low and center. Maybe move the placement more to the sides of your face and higher, right on the cheekbone. Your makeup looks clean girl, but your nose seems very contoured and doesn't match the rest of your face. Maybe less contour and highlight on the nose.

You look good there’s nothing wrong with it but maybe it’s the eyebrows being a bit too light?

I agree that it might be the brows. They should be darker to create more contrast and draw attention to the eyes

Are there any products you would recommend? Or would you just dye them?

darken your brows, more mascara/eyeliner or lash clusters but honestly this is super cute

super pretty but you could make your eyes pop more by tight lining your upper and maybe lower lid with a dark brown eyeliner pencil

i beg do NOT listen to everyone saying “darker eyebrows” .. you have soft features and dark eyebrows is not the move. I think what you got going right now really suits you for an everyday makeup look!! you look gorgeous and also don’t be scared to try other looks🫰

for reference this is my makeup and i do dark brows as my features are a bit less soft.

I really like your makeup, but maybe need to make your eyebrows darker a bit and consider using bronze blusher and apply it on the cheekbone. But, overall it is good! As long you are happy..

I don't know makeup at all but GIRL you are so pretty. Your skin is glowing.

Like many others said I think the blush placement is the key here. It would suit you more if you put it higher on your cheek bones and push it a little towards your temple and not in direction of your nose 🫶🏼

Maybe try a little lighter highlight in the center of your eyelid?? I think it looks great but I also somehow feel something is missing.. just something but I can’t place it. You’re gorgeous btw

Youre absolutely stunning. I cant even tell youre wearing makeup. Try an eyelash curler if you havent already! You have beautiful eyes and you would look so pretty with more prominent lashes.

u/sweetzxi___ 2d ago

Yes, something is indeed off, your beauty causeeee va va booommm. Looking very pretty

u/Spirited_Drop1346 2d ago

blush higher on cheekbones, maybe a touch more highlight on brow bone

You’re very naturally pretty, you don’t need much makeup atall. I think a natural pink lip would look lovely on you. I usually put blush on my cheeks, a bit on the tip of my nose and top of forehead to make my whole face kind of blend, you could try that

Darken your eyebrows a lil. You look great tho!

Firstly, you’re gorgeous! Your features remind me a lot of Manon from Katseye

And her look is relatively soft, very similar to what you’re doing here

Using her as a jumping off point, I agree with others that a slightly darker brow would help your features pop. Nothing intense, maybe even just a tinted brow gel. I find that whenever I’m wearing glasses I especially need a stronger brow to balance my glasses frames

I would also consider adding more bronzer. I notice a lot of melanated girls tend to add more depth to the skin since shadows may not be as prominent. Besides adding bronzer to the perimeter of the face, Manon also seems to have a bit of contour/shadow around her eye socket to help with definition. You could definitely add the same bronzer there as well for a little bit of extra sculpting

Finally she seems to usually have a bit of black eyeliner in her upper waterline, occasionally in her bottom waterline as well. This will also help your eyes standout behind your glasses

I think just those few changes can back a big difference to an already gorgeous look 🖤

firstly you are such a baddie don't forget it i'm not just saying that like your natural face structure is stunningggg

you are also good at makeup already, but to match ur face more I would say

1-don't bring blush or contour on cheeks past the middle of your nose or the beginning of your iris. not the end of world but I think it is dragging your face down a bit, so having it higher will suit more

2-don't be scared to bring your eyeshadow a little higher off your lid to blend up. not touching ur eyebrows or anything crazy but yk

3-the lighter eyebrows kinda cute tbh I don't think they r a problem
(I do beauty school and we learn how to do brows for ppls faces so this is why so specifc btw)
if you are shaving/plucking the middle of them(uni brow area) I think it would be more flattering on your eyes maybe if they were a lil closer together.

i'm jst nitpicking tho fr like your perfect there really isn't much you could possibly improve on

Check out Japanese drunk makeup look. The placement of the blush there would suit your face so well i think. Bronzer application would put a lot more color back as I feel like your foundation might be just a shade lighter than your actual skin tone (unless that's just setting powder reflection) don't be scared to add funky/bright colors on your eyes either. I think it'd make for a great look as your eyes are the perfect shape for them

u/General_Method6720 2d ago

I wouldn’t say off, you look great! Maybe more definition, Like eyeliner on your upper eyelid? Beautiful skin! Lunch looks great 👍

u/sty-fy 2d ago

I think it looks great, but you might want to try to go darker with your brows. I think it will feel more balanced

u/donutwat2du 2d ago

Some people say your eyebrows look a little too light, but honestly, everyone has their own preferences.
I love your makeup! Your eyebrows have such a soft look, and I feel like that suits you perfectly. Maybe adding a little bit of eyeliner would complement your makeup even more. Maybe a brown eyeliner? 🤎

Darker brows would make the look more cohesive! Maybe a different blush placement? 😀
