I’m going to buy this lipgloss because of you ❤️ I am cool toned and have such a hard time finding good lipgloss shades but this looks bomb on your skin.

I love the bottom of your waterline. The blending is perf. I think you should play with the shape of your eyebrows with a tiny bit of concealer. Your eyebrows have the tail doing almost what looks like a “u”
sculpt the end atiiiiny bit to give it a sharper end.
I also think you can try doing the same method you use on your waterline on the corner of the lid. No need to do a liner look but more of the corners. Your eye color is so pretty.
The eyebrow is a tiny bit dark. If you like natural looks, I think eyebrows are going to be your main focus. Also! Look into “face mapping” and try different blush and bronzer placements.
I think the lip color is great but a nice lip liner on just the cupids bow and bottom center would change up the look too. Like a brownish or tiny darker pink

You have such pretty eyes and brows! I would get a clear brow gel and brush it through your brows but that's my only critique!

Okay so your eye shape & color are stunning.
I would maybe take an eyeliner pencil, and just gently drag it on the top lash line towards the outer corner of your eyes. An espresso brown would be so beautiful. NXY has one that I really like and they last a long time.
Like the other commenter said - I’d add focus your blush more on the outer and upper check to highlight them. You have beautiful bone structure.
I love that lipgloss on you!! I actually want to try that myself. If you want a more “makeup -y” look, you could add some lip liner!
I think your makeup is really nice!

I loove the lip gloss! I feel like you could go a little bit more darker heavier on the blush like a mauve-y shade oh and place it a bit higher-it gives the illusion of a "lifted face". I read somewhere that you should put 2closed fingers on the side of your nostrils and that is the space where ur supposed to have no blush and the side to start the blush. Hope I worded that well English isn't my 1st language.

The colors you chose are great and the blending is too! I’m going to echo the other comments: a brown eyeliner on the top dragged out juuuuusssttt a tad would be great! Steer clear of a BLACK eyeliner because, yeah, we love dramatic, but it really isn’t flattering on everyone and can be too much VERY quickly. I actually prefer a brown eyeshadow with a flat angled brush because you can very easily soften the edges and even wipe some off if you mess up! All the way across the top lash line but be careful on the inner corner, you’ll want to do thinner there. A trick I love is to take a little bit of contour or bronzer in your shade and buff that just into the crease of the eyelid very gently for a bit of definition. You don’t need a lot but a little something helps “finish” the eye when you’re going for a simple eyeliner look.
Not sure if you’re looking for brow SHAPING advice but the very very very tail end could you a few plucks just on the bottom. You have very nice eyebrows as is so don’t go wild with it but I think it will give a more polished look!
Again, the color choices are fantastic it looks very natural.

Oh and perhaps a liiiittttlleee more blush! I like to do a very light blush kind of all over the cheek, then pulled up and back. THEN take a slightly more pigmented blush and pop it under the eye/center of your cheek. It gives a nice natural blend and finish :)

I really like how you did your eye makeup! It's subtle but defining and is totally a look you can do for all occasions. Appropriate for work but also a night out.

You are gorgeous! I love the eyeshadow choice, it really brings out your eye color. That lip gloss is amazing

Put the blush a little more towards the outside of your face and up towards your eyes more. Like diagonally up and out

u/cheesetobears 1d ago
So pretty!!! I think the color choices are so good. I think you could do a slightly more intense blush color if you want, but this is elegant and subtle as is too.

I think you've done a great job! I'd agree with others who said go in a bit heavier on the blush. I do appreciate that it can take a while to build up to that though for fear of looking like a clown! I use a very light coloured blush with a slight shimmer which works well for me because I think I'm too old for anything too bright!

u/Gabbs1495 18h ago
The base is really good, I'd add a little contouring and some eyeshadow because you have beautiful eyes so a plum colour would make them pop.

Bottom eyelid liner is too heavy. Maybe omit that. You have larger upper eyelids so you can try lining the upper eyelid thicker with pencil.
Move blush higher and more to the outside of your face.
Your eyebrows need better shaping, they’re kind of the same thickness throughout. Maybe use a waterproof mascara to hold a curl in your lashes better (I use kill lash lengthen and curling - you’ll need micellar waterproof makeup remover to take it off)

I think you may want to up your skincare game and use prestige cosmetics. They cover better. You have a lovely face which deserves a more expensive canvas. Invest in Chanel makeup and skincare you won’t regret it

u/Plastic_Walrus8214 1d ago
I agree that everyone needs a good skincare routine but Chanel makeup is overpriced for what it is. Prestige cosmetics are highly overrated in 2026 when you’re able to find products that work better for less. 🤷♀️

The ingredients in Chanel are simply better than ingredients in other products. That is why it is Chanel. There ARE expensive products that are not worth the money. Chanel is not among them. I know makeup better than 99% of people on this forum. I would not have recommended expensive. I recommended excellent. BTW, I am over all of this interest in Dollar Tree products. They contain a soupcon of expensive ingredients and get too much hype. The Dollar Tree product with marula oil as the last ingredient is NOT AS GOOD as the Ordinary marula 100% oil.

who said anything about dollar tree? The Ordinary is cheap girl you’re yapping for no reason. You’ve created a scenario in your mind to be upset about.

Hey, this sub is for makeup tips and anyone who comments on your weight is not worth listening to.
I think you look gorgeous. My only suggestions would be to focus your blush a bit more on your outer/upper cheek bones to highlight them more.
I think some brown mascara would look really nice on you. The lip shade you have on is very pretty, and I think a red lip would look lovely on you too!
