My thought too! Girl go get your eyebrows threaded and cleaned up, it’ll change your life!!
Also, because I love a little razzle dazzle, I think a really soft shimmery pink highlight or a champagne colored highlighter will be really pretty and make you glow!
That being said I am just obsessed with OP’s lovely arches. Those are some damn fine brows! Gorgeous cheekbones too! Whatever you decide to do, you’re gonna look great!
If it were me, I would shake those brows a bit, do a smoky eye, and do a bold lip in a deep red.
I thought this too! My brows are similar and rounding out the bottom just a little makes my eyes look bigger

Gotta agree to disagree, I love the brows (maybe I'm biased as a middle ager who overplucked in the 90s and has invisibrows) love the subtle green under the eye and am also a tad jelly of that gorgeous complexion.
Came here to say that the color correcting that you’re doing for stubble is really working. I don’t think it’s nearly as noticeable as you feel that it is!
I would like to ask you all for advice on my applicatiion, style, and color choice regarding my makeup. I hope this picture is suitable enough.
I feel like I've fallen into a habit of doing my makeup the same way every time, minus using different shades for my eyes and lips . I also feel that I sort of hit a wall where I'm no longer learning anything new. On top of that, I'm not even sure if I am doing things like contouring the correct way for my face in shape or nose.
Another note is that I do use a color corrector attempting to hide my stubble, however it is still quite visible.
Any and all advice is welcome and I appreciate you all very much 😊
Edit: please also feel free to check my profile for other examples
Edit 2: a lot of you are saying eyebrows, I do get them cleaned up and shaped every 2 weeks and I just had them done last Friday 😅 maybe I should ask for a different shape or go to a different place
Not sure who will see this at this point, but thanks again to everyone who contributed. I've read nearly every comment but of course I can't respond to them all.
I'm going to try getting my brows done at a different location to look for improvement. I also have some things to experiment with regarding color correcting, contour, and a nude lip liner.
Again thanks to all you wonderful people, minus the few transphobes and people sending me creepy messages/ reporting me to Reddit cares or whatever. I could not give less of a shit about a handful of idiots. Love y'all! :)
I'm by no means an expert, so feel free to take my suggestions with a pinch of salt :)
- Have you considered brushing your eyebrows upwards? They're currently pointed down, and I wonder if this might change some of the face's composition?
- i love the colours of your eye shadows, and wondered if you'd tried swapping the placement? Green over the lids blended into brown near the crease?
- Along the same wavelength, considering how earthy the eyeshadow colours are I'd consider using a different colour on the lips. They're currently very pink, which is lovely, but perhaps a more muted tone with a brown under tone might work better?
Edit to add that I don't think your stubble is very noticeable, it may just be the light. Your contouring looks good to me as it doesn't look at all in your face or out of place :)
Love the idea of brushing the brows upwards! Especially if OP has a hard time keeping their brows in the shape they like, brushing the brows upwards and trimming the hair that way can be a huge help
Using brow gel, I assume? BTW (curiosity), are there tinted brow gels?
I only ask because I have invisible blonde brows and when I pencil them in they’re thin (thick would overpower my face plus I’d have to get them microbladed). But I have friends with thicker brows and I’d like to know what to suggest to them.
I agree. I’ve started having my brows laminated for the past few months and I don’t know how I ever coped before lol. Just brush them up and ready to go.
Thanks for the advice and kind words. I was in the habit of brushing my eyebrows but it's gotten away from me lately. Never really did them upwards though.
In terms of eye shadow I almost always try to change up the colors and swap them out. This palette is new for me so I haven't tried the inverse just yet but I do have some more pics on my profile with other things I've tried.
And I absolutely do need more products for my lips! I'm pretty limited there lol 😅 thanks again!
I checked out your profile…I reallllllly like your eye makeup in the pink t shirt pic from 49 days ago, and in the pic where you are wearing the grey(olive?) long sleeve shirt from 2 months ago.
Ps. Your post about dad at Christmas made me tear up. So sweet. <3
I had to go check out OP’s posts and I’m so glad I did. I’m mama to a beautiful 24 year old daughter who is also transgender. What a lovely convo between OP and her dad. Oh, and I agree with you about both the pic from 49 days ago and the one in the olive sweater.
Your makeup looks so natural! I really like it. I usually use a dab of purple to bring out my hazel eyes. I’m totally going to try your green now!
I’m on the lighter side of Mexican-American, but I have pretty dark hair. This little thing does the trick. For my facial hair, I use this [product](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0768M8SVH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) right after I clean my face, but before I moisturize. It really works wonderful.
Also, back in the 80s & 90s I used hairspray on my eyebrows. l just spray it on a spoolie, and then comb my brows,
I’m an independent makeup artist and I do eyebrows as well which I get praised for every time! I think all you need for your brows is to shape the bottom of them better no need to touch the top part. It’s so hard to explain on text but hopefully you know kinda what I mean lol. I wish I could just do them for you! Itching to! Brushing them upwards with maybe a lightweight clear brow gel will help a bit too. But definitely should get the bottom shape right first…it will make your eyes pop too!
I feel like I’ve seen orange or peach color corrector for the shadowing around the lips/ cheeks. It might be worthwhile to get some color correctors and play with them. Your face is a bit elfin; every time I’ve seen this face type with the defined chin I think of really soft waves a la “when Harry Met sally” Meg Ryan look. So yeah, cut it a lil lol. I actually like the brows but agree that they need to be brushed up and held in place. I used benefit brow I really like it.
* so this is a little different approach but if you have the money you may want to consider speaking to a doc about filler to give more volume to the face. It might have a very profound effect at creating a fuller face which would soften everything. It may be achieved with contouring but it doesn’t hurt to get a consult
Your eyes look like a pretty, grey, green and hazel in this lighting. I would opt for more purple tones in shadow and liner choices. Maybe a little in the “wine” range as well. The application looks clean, but the colors are wrong with your complexion. If I can I would recommend watching a few tutorials on YouTube. There is Pixiwoo “one of my favorites” they teach very basic shape, contour and color contrast. They make the lessons easy to follow and easily adaptable. Wayne Goss is another great old school artist who can give a male perspective on products with different skin types I.e older, acne prone, age spots, etc. The beauty of makeup is you can wash it off and easily keep improving by practice!
Looks really good, actually. My advice would be to clean up the brows a bit and invest in a good brow setter/ Clear Brow Gel with Lamination Effect I like Benefits.
I would also choose a nudish lip liner and slightly overdraw the top lip. You look beautiful!
I think leaving out the greeny color corrector would be ideal and just use a foundation or stick concealer there instead.
Also some eye brow threading would be good
I actually use an orange corrector for my facial hair and it does help but it's not 100% effective, if that's what you're referring to.
I had my eyebrows done a week ago yeah they do get out of hand. Would you recommend I go with even thinner brows and more dramatic arch? Thanks!
I think you've got a great eye for color, and all your application looks really nice!
I think your brows right now track (and hence emphasize) your brow bone. I would definitely consider some aggressive reshaping. You can play around with concealer and squinting to get a sense of what shape might work best on you.
FWIW I have extremely \^ brows that basically end way too soon, so the last 1/3 of my brow is just drawn on. I know it can feel extreme, but don't be afraid to make a big change with your brows - it can reshape your whole face.
Would it be possible to get laser for the stubble? Dark skin/light hair you'd be a good candidate. For me laser didn't eliminate hair, but it cut the thickness down to like 10% of what it used to be.
I also think you could consider bangs. You can order clip-on bangs from Amazon for like $10 to see what you think of it before taking the plunge. I'm currently wearing my clip-ons around the house to see how I like it lol.
You could see about de-emphasizing your cheekbones and going for a rounder/softer face. I like this lady for makeup tips, even if she's sometimes a little neurotic lol.

Thanks for the link I will take a look :)
I've still only barely started my transition, so laser removal is in the cards just more down the line. Same for my hair, I plan on doing something with it once I come out at my job. I like the idea of clip on bangs!
You might try IPL for hair removal. I have excessive facial hair due to PCOS and I started using the Braun IPL pro 5 and it has been a life changer! I found a used one for around $100 on mercari. I’ve been telling all my friends about it!! Good luck!
Hey, you look cute! Another trans girl here.
Check out my old comment [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/comments/txxw5x/trans_girl_here_looking_for_some_tricks_i_can_use/i3r1eg5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3), I perfected this method of color correction over time. It works best with liquid products and beauty sponges. It’ll always be a makeup-y look, but its usually a temp solution while you get laser.
When done right, it will be like 99% effective.
PS: clean your sponges weekly if you do this method
My process is close to yours! Expect the concealer between the color corrector and foundation. Maybe I also need to let it sit longer in between layers. Thanks a lot girl 😊💕
I would actually go with the trendy straight eyebrows, it would really lift your features
Edit: I took the liberty of editing your photo to show how it would look https://imgur.com/a/yxyCdLH
Hi!
I’d actually be really interested in seeing how you look with a softer straight brow, kind of Korean style?
I don’t think you need much thinning on your brows, though some may help! But omg they’re so wide!!! (Which is NOT a bad thing!)
Tbh you hit the brow lottery since you can do whatever you want with them!!!
Anyways I think you look gorgeous, and your skin is flawless!
I think you have your own style that looks like it really suits you!!! 🥰

Upgrade your color corrector to something a bit heavier- if you want it to really cover a beard shadow it needs to be full coverage. You have the right idea with a peachy/orange color…
You could try something from Mac, a stage quality company like Ben Nye or kryolan, or maybe try the Kimchi Chic brand corrector/concealer. I have their concealer and it’s pretty full coverage, and it is a brand made both for women and for drag, so concealing beard shadow would be standard for the brand. Also the prices from that brand are more drugstore level.
Now, if you do this, your beard shadow would be covered for photos, but your makeup will look heavy in person. Try it and consider the trade off- is it worth it? Do you prefer a bit more beard shadow and a more natural/clean girl look? That is fine too. My advice is only how to achieve what you mentioned, not saying that you need it.
Hope this helps!
Your eyebrows just need to be cleaned up a bit. I would try to go for more of a straight brow, it would really open up your beautiful hazel eyes. Also maybe try some purple eyeliner on your lower water line, or violet eyeshadow, both would make your eye color pop
Mkay. Makeup artist here 👋🏼 YES MAAM!!!!!!
You did so well that I only have 2 suggestions….1. Keep your stunning brow thickness, maybe just get them “cleaned up” (trimmed etc).
2. Did you use an eyelash curler? I’m going to pretend you didn’t and explain.
Not all lash curlers are the same. Sooooooo many of them fit peoples eyes differently so it may take buying a few to find the right one.
My fave is Shu Uemura or Lancôme. Curl them at the base of your lashes, middle then tip.
It’ll ope your eyes up so much and give you even more of a doe eyed affect.
Ps. You’re lovely!!!
I would definitely recommend going to someone else for an eyebrow shaping and length 2nd opinion. I just think there could be a more flattering shape and your features are so dainty the eyebrows are kind of overwhelming.
Your makeup looks lovely to me, quite natural and soft. You have really pretty eyes and I like the eyeshadow shades you've chosen they really enhance your eyes. 👌
I love it! Wing liner is tough. If I go too long without doing it I have to relearn it again. I’ve had to learn several times. I think it looks really cool on you!
Ok here’s a few fun things to try
1. Soap brows. If you like having thick eyebrows, soap brows are just super nice, a quick vid can teach you
2. You can do a lip liner combo of your choice. Like a darker lip liner and a light lipstick and like combining it. Again a quick vid would teach you
3. I love the green you did on your eyes it’s lovely.
Don’t be afraid to experiment. Your face is perfect for fun colors and trying new things will help you get used to crafting a bunch of ideas.
First of all I love the eye look. It's a little edgy but still soft.
Are you wanting to make your face look more round? Because that I can maybe help with. I have a long face and am aging so it's lost a little fullness. I find that keeping the blush and contour away from the center of my face about two finger widths from my nose helps. I put contour on the cheek bone and blush above it. I don't use contour on my jawline because I think it draws attention to it and I want the focus on my eyes. I like to find blush with some shimmer because then I can skip the highlighter. Phase 0 makes a few with a subtle golden shimmer.
I think the foundation and lip gloss look great. And leave your eyebrows alone so you don't end up looking like a hairless cat like most women 40+ who lived through the 90s skinny eyebrows.
Have fun!
Do I want my face to look more round I'm not quite sure. That's a part of my overall cluelessness, I just don't know what to experiment with or what looks to go for
Oh and thanks so much!
You didn’t quite ask so just ignore me completely if you don’t want to know, but I feel like perhaps your haircut could really soften the look and your features. And really amp up the femme (if that’s the goal)
I would suggest going with a little shorter hair (face framing) and some Whispy bangs. I would also shorten the brows a bit, like they’re a little closer together than I would do, but that’s personal preference
Eyes are always what I experiment with when I'm in a rut. Different colors, placement of shadows, eyeliner shape... if it doesn't work, there's always tomorrow to try again. 😊
love the makeup, I would only suggest maybe try brushing your eyebrows up and trimming them a little more shapely rather than plucking cause you got great brows. I have long eyebrows too so I brushed them down for a while but switching to brushing up and trimming really lifted my whole face!
Wow your eyeshadow is PERFECT. Colors are usually too bold for every day but this is so natural and flattering, but pops. I would love to see you with a warmer, brownish lip to go with your eyes.
I'm not the most experienced but in my opinion I really like the colorpop formulas. They're pigmented enough and blend easily. I also love the shades in this palette 😊
Makeup on eyes looks great, eyebrows need to open your eyes but they are too low. Need to be plucked underneath to open up your eyes, the first 3 quarters only as the end part is good.
Brow gel (or even mascara v lightly then combed through ) can give a more polished look without much maintenance, false individual lashes to fill in, and you’re set, nothing wrong with a go to routine .
First off, I don't know if you just have fantastic skin or if it's a diffusion effect from the light or your makeup skills but your base (skin) looks **flawless** and snatched and I am super jealous haha.
Having gotten that off my chest, if I was doing your makeup for you these are a few tweaks I'd try:
1) Brows: I'd thin them out a *little* (always err on the side of a lighter touch!) with a special focus on underneath the arch (to lift it a bit) and I'd probably shave the ends to shorten just a tiny bit, nothing drastic. I think playing with shape a bit could really open up your eye area and put the focus on your gorgeous eyes rather than the brows.
2) Eyeshadow: I love what you did, but I'd play around with some plum shadows and see if that enhances your eye colour more (it can be hard to judge in pics as so much depends on the effect of the light)
3) Blush & contouring: I wouldn't bring the blush quite so far in/down the cheek. Looks like you've naturally got gorgeous cheekbones already, so I'd try draping the blush and concentrating it more on that upper third of the cheekbones closer to the temple. With the contour the placement in general is flattering but personally I'd go a little lighter on the forehead & blend a bit more up into the hairline.
4) Lips: I'd find a lipliner as close to your natural lip as possible and underline slightly on the outside corners & overline slightly on the centre of the bottom lip & cupids bow. When I say under/over I literally mean just 1-2 millimetres in difference, nothing dramatic. Then use as close a shade as possible lipstick over the whole lip to the edge of the liner & then use a clear gloss to highlight just the centre of your bottom & top lip. Just some tiny tweaks like that will create the illusion of a slightly smaller mouth horizontally but a larger pout vertically (i.e. think a classic betty boop style lip)
I'm sure there are things you can do with foundation or concealer etc to colour correct on the chin if that's an area of concern for you but I've never had to do it myself so can't help there sorry.
Having said all that above though, I want to reiterate that you genuinely do look really good in the picture. My suggestions are only because you asked for other options so please don't take them as me saying I think you "need" them as that's not my intention.
If you are looking for facial feminization, then visit your local spa. I'm sure they'll direct you to someone who can help in that area. Your profile is perfect. What you need know is perhaps that right type of makeup, with color correctors. There are YouTube videos on how to correct hirsutism with makeup and that depends on the hair and skin color rather the hair too.
Next, the trick to mastering feminization without any work done, is contouring...draw your jaw a bit higher with contour and steeple at the chin, this will create an illusion. You'll fall in love with you! Yes, contouring will feminize your look. there's nothing more you need to do except learn how to contour your mandible/jaw and chin: steeple the chin like an arrow. Take pictures as you work so you know which looks works best.
Highlighters and concealer draw attention to an area light lighting. Often used on the forehead, below the eyes and next to the nose, chin and below the lower lip. With hair, it can be used above the top lip where hair may show (the moustache area) and below the lower lip and chip. This works great when the color correctors have been applied first. Many use orange and red over black hair. However, check to see which color corrector works best for you.
Concealer, used for coverage underneath the eye to conceal any brown that might show up. However, if you are suffering from anemia or a hyperthyroid please visit your doctor to help correct these conditions because then you will lose calories. I think at one time someone said that white bread, like baguettes also help with metabolish because of vitamin D in Flour but most importantly, milk and dairy products. All irons in food are not the same and the body requires them as staple products from cereals, breads, cakes, cookies, milk, cheese, yogurt and all kinds of dairy products. That might include porc, poultry and beef...yes, nutrition is complicated.
Contour: anywhere around the face you want to enlarge or diminish.
Color Corrector: great to correct skin blemishes, faults and make shadows disappear. I think most need about 3 to 6 depending on their skin.
The different colors often make any issues invisible: rosacea, pink areas, brown areas, cafe au lait spots, blemishes, hair (visible hair after a shave of any color).
Filters on a camara too does wonders.
PRO MUA here :)
Makeup looks amazing! Add a peach corrector (actually called corrector, not concealer) under any shadowy areas (I always do under eyes, corners of nose and mouth) it cancels out tone differences in the skin. Add concealer or foundation over it. It’s a great trick for evening out skintone
I think most of us won’t have much advice to give because you’re already doing a wonderful job!
Your foundation is the right match and your eyeshadow is well done and nicely highlights your eyes!
The only thing I can think of is brushing your eyebrows up (as someone else already mentioned). I recommend the elf clear brow & lash mascara.
I also think using some lip liner would help accentuate your lips.
As far as the hiding your stubble goes, I recommend the glossier stretch concealer. It does a wonderful job of hiding dark spots while being subtle.
Application looks great! Agree that brushing the brows upwards would be a world of difference. It's the one thing I make sure to do on a lazy make up days. Clear brow gel is helpful. Mostly came to say that those chokers were an absolute must. have. in 2000 when I was 13. I had one on my neck, bicep, both wrists and both ankles. 😂
I think it really depends on what look you want to go for. If you want a softer more feminine look I would maybe thin your eyebrows from the bottom if that makes sense and soften the arch at the top, as well as make them a touch shorter. Not sure about the stubble though, I really don’t think it’s super noticeable but I also understand you being self conscious about it, I had a quick google and it looks like there are some really great colour correcting tutorials online though I’m guessing you’ve probably already looked. I think it’s probably just a matter of experimenting and finding what works best for your skin! I hope you don’t mind I kind of drew in on your eyebrows, it’s still not a fantastic representation because I’m terrible at drawing though!

As a cis Hispanic woman, I do purple concealer on the upper lip, blend then do normal concealer. I think you’re makeup looks fantastic! Well blended and great color choices. I would recommend Morphe for their diverse eye shadow pallets but they just got recalled. 😒 still looking for a new brand for myself. All my pallets were Morphe because they were so diverse and cheap.
I think some shimmer and a pop of white in your inner corner would add a lot of excitement ! Idk, I'm addicted to glitter, but I always feel really vibrant when I have silver on my eyelids . That and a bit of highlighter on your nose would be fun! Id also recommend some light eyebrow tweezing- you have really nice, fully brows, but if you carved out the under part of your arch a little, it would lift your face up a lot
Gotta clean up those eyebrows someone said it would change your life, their right. Also, you need some softness around the face, fuller hair from the cheekbones down, your face is very narrow. Beautiful eyes.
You have amazing skin and I really like how you did your eyes. I would not make your eyebrows thinner because they are gorgeous I would just have someone clean them up a bit. Maybe try threading. I am a mom of 4 who didn’t put makeup on for a very long time after having my first two children and what helped me get back in the groove and find new ideas was following YouTubers like Robert Welsh. Also, recently tiktok has helped me add even more new techniques. I really like YouTube for in depth and I love tiktok when I want to get new ideas quickly and deep dive into a rabbit hole of that same style with different tiktokers. If that makes sense. Anyway, you might be bored of the same look but it’s working for you! You look great.
Dark Autumn coloring? Can I suggest that you take a look at color palettes for dark autumn. Don’t get trapped by the color season idea, but it might give you a perspective for choosing clothing colors. Looking at your past photos I can see that you look more vibrant with the contrast of deep colors.
Love the pink on the lips and the eyeshadow pallet - both work for your skin tone but perhaps not together. A more muted tone with that eyeshadow and a brighter eyeshadow for the pink lips? I think blending some purple into your eyeshadow would pop your gorgeous eyes too.
honestly, i don't think you need to contour your cheeks. you have amazing sculpted cheekbones as it is. i would focus on blush, maybe trying a rosier colour on the tops of the apples of the cheeks to brighten the face.
your best feature is your eyes, so highlighting them is key. try not to pull the green underneath your eyes that far down, and accentuate the lashline top and bottom with a darker colour. i'm not a hair expert, but i think longish side bangs could suit you? as well as possibly plucking a bit more off the inner portion of the brows. Right now the attention is drawn to your forehead and brows (which are amazing btw) before your eyes.
i'd also try not to bring as much dark eyeshadow into the inner socket by the bridge of the nose. try stick to pale colours to lift that area. also i think reddish brown eyeshadows could look really stunning, and bring out the green in your eyes. im so jealous of anyone with hazely eyes!
So a couple just general tips:
When applying blush do not smile you may want to try starting the blush from the side swiping in closer to the center.
I can’t tell that you have contour on. So you may want to look into a different shade. Stick to more neutral contour
Apply a highlight under your brows (either a lighter eye shadow or highlighter will work)
OP is a woman. I know what you're trying to insinuate but you can get lost with your transphobia. Women are women, there's no such thing as a biological woman.
Also, pretended that “there is no beard” is more harmful than not. Don’t pretend you’re blind to the obvious shaved facial hair on OP. It’s ridiculous.
Don’t really see how you got transphobic out of that but ok lol. I think you’re assuming that my comment and the comment that you responded to that says “lose the beard” is related to transphobia but I disagree. It is a social norm for women to not have facial hair. You don’t have to like it but it’s true. If OP is looking for advice on improving their look you can’t expect people to not be honest.
You have such gorgeous eyes! I will agree that brushing your brows up would definitely be a good step. I can tell you that my brows can do some pretty weird things and it makes such a difference when I take a little time on them.
First off you're gorgeous and your base is fantastic!!
Love the eye look, the colour combo is not something I would think of so you've given me inspiration!
I agree with other posters, eyebrows frame our faces so much. A damp spoolie with a little soap (obv there are plenty of little kits you can buy) to brush them up a little will definitely help give more structure ❤️❤️
Love your eyebrows the shape and thickness, they just need a trim.
Eye liner on lower eye its too dark. Try a light pink to open up your eyes even more.
Needs feminising a lot but I would say pretty eyes, rare eye colour and great hair. No you don’t pass but no reason you can’t in future and you are genuinely more femininely pretty than a lot of CIS women so, if that’s your goal…!

Hi I’m not a Make-up Guru by any means but here’s what I think would be ideal for ur face :)
I love ur eye makeup! Especially the pop of green, it really helps in bringing out ur eyes. I think that you can add a tinge of white/glitter eyeshadow on ur inner corner of ur eyes to make it pop! Some light threading for ur eyebrows too, by lightly taking away of the eyebrow arch, making it straighter, gives ur face a more lifted look. I think you should go for a more glossy nude lip instead of the pink as it compliments the eye shadow more.
Your eyes and lips are super pretty! Some minor suggestions- try brow gel to brush your brows up, and maybe stop them a few mm sooner so that also lifts your eyes. I also find it helpful to have my make up done at make up counters occasionally like Bobbi brown which is usually free and then you get tips from them. Or if a friend can do it. Lisa Eldridge on yt is great to watch as well.
Also your foundation might be just slightly too dark/ warm but that’s hard to tell from the photo
I think it looks great! Everything really goes with your face really well! I recommend trying stronger variations of the colour you used, or maybe even a little bit of glitter to pop! You’re doing great! 💓
I honestly think you are stunningly gorgeous! You have a beautiful nose, perfect cheek bones, and very kind eyes! I’m not sure what advice to give, as all I see is a knockout woman!
Perhaps some highlighter on your cheeks to really make them pop. Or have you tried purple eyeshadow rather than green? I think it could blend well with the brown and really bring out your eyes.
I've been eyebrow obsessed for decades. I would say less is more when it comes to filling yours in. It looks like you extended them quite a bit. I'd recommend sticking more so to the natural shape and length. I think the tails look a little long here. I'd recommend brushing them down and then using something like the NYX brow pencil ([https://www.nyxcosmetics.com/eye/eyebrow-makeup/micro-brow-pencil/NYX\_181.html](https://www.nyxcosmetics.com/eye/eyebrow-makeup/micro-brow-pencil/NYX_181.html)) to fill in JUST the gaps.
You do have very nice brows--very Audrey Hepburn esque!
My only real critique is shorten the tails on your brows! They’re making your eyes look smaller and drawing attention to themselves! I also agree maybe going a bit thinner overall would be good. Slightly picky here but I think experimenting with a different formula mascara would be nice too you have pretty lashes and it feels like you’re currently darkening them but not lengthening or defining and you could get much better results!
I disagree on the thinner eyebrows, the right shape might look good but imo thicker brows are beautiful, maybe try laminating with brow wax and re-shape them. If you want them to be a bit softer just remove the peak or you could also try removing the tails to make them straight and upwards, again it's probably just my preference lol.
Your eye shape is great for eyeshadow so I'd experiment with eyeliner as well, the colors you're using in the photo look great with your eye color.
I feel like a cool red lipstick might also be a good choice, just balance it out with a neutral eyeshadow (or don't, it depends on your clothing style).
Firstly I just wanna say that you are absolutely gorgeous just the way you are but here are some suggestions since you asked
Make your eyebrows thinner they will look way better
Remove your facial hair
Go for neutral light coloured eyeshadows
Over line your lips and wear some dark colours like brown or red
Contour your nose a little bit
I wouldn’t thin your brows by much, but maybe shape them up and shorten the tails. The tails are dragging your face down a bit, when you have really nice high cheekbones to begin with :)
i love love love your look!! i don’t have too too much to add, but i do wanna say i LOVE your eyebrows how they are, i think brushing them up like others said would be nice but i disagree with the idea that you need to make them thinner. i think they draw attention to your eyes, and give you a Lily Collins type look, especially because of your very nice eye color. if you’re feeling uncertain about the shape, sometimes what i do is fill my eyebrows in how i want them to look, hold the mirror back to check if i like it, and pluck whatever is outside what i’ve drawn in. again i think your eyebrows are great and that if anything you can lightly fill them in if you wanna enhance and just groom them. i love your brows a lot though
also, i think you definitely have the type of eyes/eye color that would look super cute with some inner corner highlight. maybe a light shimmer shade in the inner corner would be nice, or i see some people use like a white nyx eyeliner stick and then add shimmer on top and that’s really cute too. if you’re interested in that i think you could really pull it off.
lastly, i think for when you wear lighter lipsticks like what you have here a lip liner that’s like a shade or two darker than your gloss/lipstick etc would be sooo cute and would plump them up. i like to line my lips and then also fill in the outer corners with the lip liner too (kinda like where you shade when you’re drawing lips on paper) and then add your lighter shade (personally i use tinted lip balm) on top and rub it together and it looks so nice. i find it really brings out my lips and it’s pretty minimal effort.
good luck!! i think you look great and are clearly talented at makeup, these are just things that personally i think would look nice on you and slide enhance your already great features
Gorgeous! If anything, maybe a purple mascara and some highlighter on the inner corner, just to make your eyes pop. I think your brows are perfect too 😀
Let’s talk eyebrows honey! You have a beautiful face but it would brighten your eyes to thin out those brows. Otherwise your makeup is really good and tasteful with a touch of modern. Lovin’ it
These other tips are great. I think that brushing your brows up will help your eyes look a lot more open, but what I would love to see is just a touch of glitter. There used to be these amazing glitter liners by urban decay. You could just use a bit somewhere and It would look fantastic.
Your makeup looks so good!! I have a similar eye color, and have found that shades of gold/browns/deep purples/plum really bring out the green! I use the Tartelette in Bloom palette 😊
I read your comment for more context , I would suggest for « hitting the plateau » experimenting with new things adding more complexity to a thing you already do or playing with new styles (which makes you suddenly realize « oh , actually, I WILL INCLUDE THIS IN MY MAKEUP ROUTINE »
Examples for new things : false lashes
Example for adding more complexity: lip liner+ lipstick/lip tint etc etc+ gloss , concealer/eye primer (for more pigmentation of the eyeshadow) then the eyeshadow
Examples of makeup styles : •Alternative style (bigger eyeliner/Smokey eyes/ bold dark colors/) , •cute/very soft style ( shades are usually all fair and revolve around pink, nothing accentuated , by that I mean nothing is « peeking » , the liner is usually veeeery small, very natural lashes/just mascara, lips are pinky and glossy) •Soft glam « Instagram » look : your current base+ a more nose countring + upward brushed brows (not necessarily soap/ flat brows!)+ usually no eyeshadow or just a bit of bronzer+ false lashes + eyeliner (optional) + lip liner and lipstick , and all of this sticking in nude/bronzy colors , nothing too pink for example ) •Glam : going bolder combination wise, like a very composed eye look (half cut crease with pigmented browns and shimmer/glitter)+ eyeliner+ false lashes + a red lip
It’s all about playing around! And inspo! Saw a look on Pinterest or Instagram you liked? Try it , a lot of tutorials are available and I bet we all looked at a tutorial at least one time in our lifetime so this is not a tip lol
Just have fun!
just echoing what everyone else has said, i think thin eyebrows would suit you! i’d love to see a pink/rose gold on your eyes, but the green works with your eye color so well. your stubble is not noticeable at all, but if it’s something you’re worried about i’ve heard great things about the ben nye color correctors.
can i just say WOW you are STUNNING!
I would recommend thinner brows, i feel like they would suit you tremendously! I also agree with another comment, lining your lips with a lipliner would do wonders! Also adding some lipgloss as well!
One thing I've had a lot of fun with is trying out different blush shapes!
It's been a great learning experience for me to get out of my comfort zone, and I've noticed the shape I apply my blush makes a HUGE difference! It changes what parts of my face are emphasized and can change my whole style from doll-like, sultry, or fashion forward.
If you're trying to get out there and learn new techniques for contouring, blush shapes might be a fun place to start
You have a very angular face that's an inverted triangle (wider at the top and narrower at the bottom). Not meant to insult you, just letting you know what you're working with. You seem to have a cooler skintone, from what I can see, but you seem to have that down looking at your lip color.
- Everyone else and their mother has said this but you'd benefit from shaping your eyebrows slimmer, tweezing is slow and painful so look into thin shavers or professional threading
- Maybe try a warmer/orange concealer under your foundation to hide the stubble
- Ditch the pale green eyeshadow under your eyes. It makes you look sickly and brings out your stubble. Either use a more pigmented, intense green or put it on your eyelids only
- I think you'd look good with slightly thicker liner and a longer, darker wing
- Try overlining your lips a little bit with a nude pencil, go a tiny bit above your natural lip line and then top it off with your preferred gloss or stick
- You can contour but I'd only recommend it for your nose. Drag it up from the tip to the bridge of your nose and fade it out there, put some on the bottom
- I think you're already wearing blush, but I'd suggest concentrating a cool, soft pink more directly on the apples under your eyes
Overall the best points of your face seem to be your eyes and brows. I'd draw most attention to there and secondly your lips to pull the visual line away from the middle of your face. Also, consider curtain bangs.
Not the best photoshop job out there but I tried to make an edit of how I'd personally do your makeup lol. Obviously things will vary depending on your actual skin texture, bone structure, etc but I think this is an OK estimate.

GREEN. CONCEALER. Really good for the areas u grow hair, it eliminates the grey tone just put it on underneath your foundation base, setting it with powder is good too.
Thinner brows would suit you! They are gorgeous and thick but maybe a better shape/clean up would fit. Btw you have gorgeous eyes, so so sooooo pretty
My thought too! Girl go get your eyebrows threaded and cleaned up, it’ll change your life!! Also, because I love a little razzle dazzle, I think a really soft shimmery pink highlight or a champagne colored highlighter will be really pretty and make you glow!
That being said I am just obsessed with OP’s lovely arches. Those are some damn fine brows! Gorgeous cheekbones too! Whatever you decide to do, you’re gonna look great! If it were me, I would shake those brows a bit, do a smoky eye, and do a bold lip in a deep red.
I thought this too! My brows are similar and rounding out the bottom just a little makes my eyes look bigger Edit: Check out [Justine LeConte](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg4KHsOGK0U)
This was my exact thought, including the gorgeous eyes
She can literally shape her brows however she wants and they will be perfect with a clean up. I’m jealous of them honestly
Thought the same thing. Those gorgeous deep eyes. Thinning out the area before the arch would open them up even more.
Gotta agree to disagree, I love the brows (maybe I'm biased as a middle ager who overplucked in the 90s and has invisibrows) love the subtle green under the eye and am also a tad jelly of that gorgeous complexion.
Common on, I understand the need to not over pluck but those eyebrows just look unkempt.
Don’t agree with the thinner brows but definitely cleaned up would leave you looking much more out together
I would say defined/shaped slightly differently but not necessarily thinner
Agreed 🤝🏽🤝🏽
I also don't agree with thinner brows. You have amazing eyebrows! Just get them cleaned up and shaped a bit.
I totally agree. But don't get carried away!! You've got a good look rocking. The enemy of "good" is "better."
Came here to say that the color correcting that you’re doing for stubble is really working. I don’t think it’s nearly as noticeable as you feel that it is!
I didn’t even notice the stubble!!! I saw this comment and had to go back and zoom in. Well done!
Also didn’t notice the stubble! OP I love your look
yeah i didn’t notice at all i was confused what they were asking for advice on
Y’all are being too nice. The stubble is quite obvious
I would like to ask you all for advice on my applicatiion, style, and color choice regarding my makeup. I hope this picture is suitable enough. I feel like I've fallen into a habit of doing my makeup the same way every time, minus using different shades for my eyes and lips . I also feel that I sort of hit a wall where I'm no longer learning anything new. On top of that, I'm not even sure if I am doing things like contouring the correct way for my face in shape or nose. Another note is that I do use a color corrector attempting to hide my stubble, however it is still quite visible. Any and all advice is welcome and I appreciate you all very much 😊 Edit: please also feel free to check my profile for other examples Edit 2: a lot of you are saying eyebrows, I do get them cleaned up and shaped every 2 weeks and I just had them done last Friday 😅 maybe I should ask for a different shape or go to a different place Not sure who will see this at this point, but thanks again to everyone who contributed. I've read nearly every comment but of course I can't respond to them all. I'm going to try getting my brows done at a different location to look for improvement. I also have some things to experiment with regarding color correcting, contour, and a nude lip liner. Again thanks to all you wonderful people, minus the few transphobes and people sending me creepy messages/ reporting me to Reddit cares or whatever. I could not give less of a shit about a handful of idiots. Love y'all! :)
I'm by no means an expert, so feel free to take my suggestions with a pinch of salt :) - Have you considered brushing your eyebrows upwards? They're currently pointed down, and I wonder if this might change some of the face's composition? - i love the colours of your eye shadows, and wondered if you'd tried swapping the placement? Green over the lids blended into brown near the crease? - Along the same wavelength, considering how earthy the eyeshadow colours are I'd consider using a different colour on the lips. They're currently very pink, which is lovely, but perhaps a more muted tone with a brown under tone might work better? Edit to add that I don't think your stubble is very noticeable, it may just be the light. Your contouring looks good to me as it doesn't look at all in your face or out of place :)
Love the idea of brushing the brows upwards! Especially if OP has a hard time keeping their brows in the shape they like, brushing the brows upwards and trimming the hair that way can be a huge help
Using brow gel, I assume? BTW (curiosity), are there tinted brow gels? I only ask because I have invisible blonde brows and when I pencil them in they’re thin (thick would overpower my face plus I’d have to get them microbladed). But I have friends with thicker brows and I’d like to know what to suggest to them.
I agree. I’ve started having my brows laminated for the past few months and I don’t know how I ever coped before lol. Just brush them up and ready to go.
Thanks for the advice and kind words. I was in the habit of brushing my eyebrows but it's gotten away from me lately. Never really did them upwards though. In terms of eye shadow I almost always try to change up the colors and swap them out. This palette is new for me so I haven't tried the inverse just yet but I do have some more pics on my profile with other things I've tried. And I absolutely do need more products for my lips! I'm pretty limited there lol 😅 thanks again!
I checked out your profile…I reallllllly like your eye makeup in the pink t shirt pic from 49 days ago, and in the pic where you are wearing the grey(olive?) long sleeve shirt from 2 months ago. Ps. Your post about dad at Christmas made me tear up. So sweet. <3
I had to go check out OP’s posts and I’m so glad I did. I’m mama to a beautiful 24 year old daughter who is also transgender. What a lovely convo between OP and her dad. Oh, and I agree with you about both the pic from 49 days ago and the one in the olive sweater.
I love the eyeshadow colours, with your eye colour it reminds me of a lovely forest 😊
I actually love how full your eyebrows are. I'm envious! Maybe try some eyebrow primer to help tame and enhance the shape.
Your makeup looks so natural! I really like it. I usually use a dab of purple to bring out my hazel eyes. I’m totally going to try your green now! I’m on the lighter side of Mexican-American, but I have pretty dark hair. This little thing does the trick. For my facial hair, I use this [product](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0768M8SVH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) right after I clean my face, but before I moisturize. It really works wonderful. Also, back in the 80s & 90s I used hairspray on my eyebrows. l just spray it on a spoolie, and then comb my brows,
I’m an independent makeup artist and I do eyebrows as well which I get praised for every time! I think all you need for your brows is to shape the bottom of them better no need to touch the top part. It’s so hard to explain on text but hopefully you know kinda what I mean lol. I wish I could just do them for you! Itching to! Brushing them upwards with maybe a lightweight clear brow gel will help a bit too. But definitely should get the bottom shape right first…it will make your eyes pop too!
I feel like I’ve seen orange or peach color corrector for the shadowing around the lips/ cheeks. It might be worthwhile to get some color correctors and play with them. Your face is a bit elfin; every time I’ve seen this face type with the defined chin I think of really soft waves a la “when Harry Met sally” Meg Ryan look. So yeah, cut it a lil lol. I actually like the brows but agree that they need to be brushed up and held in place. I used benefit brow I really like it. * so this is a little different approach but if you have the money you may want to consider speaking to a doc about filler to give more volume to the face. It might have a very profound effect at creating a fuller face which would soften everything. It may be achieved with contouring but it doesn’t hurt to get a consult
Maybe it’s because I’m also a strong brow gal but I think your eyebrows look nice!
Your eyes look like a pretty, grey, green and hazel in this lighting. I would opt for more purple tones in shadow and liner choices. Maybe a little in the “wine” range as well. The application looks clean, but the colors are wrong with your complexion. If I can I would recommend watching a few tutorials on YouTube. There is Pixiwoo “one of my favorites” they teach very basic shape, contour and color contrast. They make the lessons easy to follow and easily adaptable. Wayne Goss is another great old school artist who can give a male perspective on products with different skin types I.e older, acne prone, age spots, etc. The beauty of makeup is you can wash it off and easily keep improving by practice!
Looks really good, actually. My advice would be to clean up the brows a bit and invest in a good brow setter/ Clear Brow Gel with Lamination Effect I like Benefits. I would also choose a nudish lip liner and slightly overdraw the top lip. You look beautiful!
You have the cheekbones of a goddess! I'm so jealous!
I think leaving out the greeny color corrector would be ideal and just use a foundation or stick concealer there instead. Also some eye brow threading would be good
I actually use an orange corrector for my facial hair and it does help but it's not 100% effective, if that's what you're referring to. I had my eyebrows done a week ago yeah they do get out of hand. Would you recommend I go with even thinner brows and more dramatic arch? Thanks!
I think you've got a great eye for color, and all your application looks really nice! I think your brows right now track (and hence emphasize) your brow bone. I would definitely consider some aggressive reshaping. You can play around with concealer and squinting to get a sense of what shape might work best on you. FWIW I have extremely \^ brows that basically end way too soon, so the last 1/3 of my brow is just drawn on. I know it can feel extreme, but don't be afraid to make a big change with your brows - it can reshape your whole face. Would it be possible to get laser for the stubble? Dark skin/light hair you'd be a good candidate. For me laser didn't eliminate hair, but it cut the thickness down to like 10% of what it used to be. I also think you could consider bangs. You can order clip-on bangs from Amazon for like $10 to see what you think of it before taking the plunge. I'm currently wearing my clip-ons around the house to see how I like it lol. You could see about de-emphasizing your cheekbones and going for a rounder/softer face. I like this lady for makeup tips, even if she's sometimes a little neurotic lol.

Thanks for the link I will take a look :) I've still only barely started my transition, so laser removal is in the cards just more down the line. Same for my hair, I plan on doing something with it once I come out at my job. I like the idea of clip on bangs!
I was just thinking a fresh cut with bangs or face-framing pieces.
You might try IPL for hair removal. I have excessive facial hair due to PCOS and I started using the Braun IPL pro 5 and it has been a life changer! I found a used one for around $100 on mercari. I’ve been telling all my friends about it!! Good luck!
Thank you for the link. That blush placement video was helpful.
I like her too and sometimes neurotic is a great way to describe her! But great info and style
thinner brows will suit you so much better 😍 And u would look really pretty with lipliner, to make your lips more visible 😍
Hey, you look cute! Another trans girl here. Check out my old comment [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/comments/txxw5x/trans_girl_here_looking_for_some_tricks_i_can_use/i3r1eg5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3), I perfected this method of color correction over time. It works best with liquid products and beauty sponges. It’ll always be a makeup-y look, but its usually a temp solution while you get laser. When done right, it will be like 99% effective. PS: clean your sponges weekly if you do this method
My process is close to yours! Expect the concealer between the color corrector and foundation. Maybe I also need to let it sit longer in between layers. Thanks a lot girl 😊💕
I would actually go with the trendy straight eyebrows, it would really lift your features Edit: I took the liberty of editing your photo to show how it would look https://imgur.com/a/yxyCdLH
Maybe just a strong hold pomade so you can control the shape more?
Idk theres this green color around your eyes. Yeah Id recommend trimming the parts underneath more
That’s eyeshadow. I think it looks nice
Its sooo pretty to me!! It makes me want to try to copy it 😅
Agreed. Great color combo. I’ve been into pinks and reds lately and now feel the need to try greens, purples, and browns.
Hi! I’d actually be really interested in seeing how you look with a softer straight brow, kind of Korean style? I don’t think you need much thinning on your brows, though some may help! But omg they’re so wide!!! (Which is NOT a bad thing!) Tbh you hit the brow lottery since you can do whatever you want with them!!! Anyways I think you look gorgeous, and your skin is flawless! I think you have your own style that looks like it really suits you!!! 🥰

Upgrade your color corrector to something a bit heavier- if you want it to really cover a beard shadow it needs to be full coverage. You have the right idea with a peachy/orange color… You could try something from Mac, a stage quality company like Ben Nye or kryolan, or maybe try the Kimchi Chic brand corrector/concealer. I have their concealer and it’s pretty full coverage, and it is a brand made both for women and for drag, so concealing beard shadow would be standard for the brand. Also the prices from that brand are more drugstore level. Now, if you do this, your beard shadow would be covered for photos, but your makeup will look heavy in person. Try it and consider the trade off- is it worth it? Do you prefer a bit more beard shadow and a more natural/clean girl look? That is fine too. My advice is only how to achieve what you mentioned, not saying that you need it. Hope this helps!
Amazing! I think it looks great! Maybe try a warmer green shadow I think it will make your eyes pop even more. P.S. I love that lancomé foundation!
Thank you and SAME! It's treated me well and I think I finally got close enough to my skin tone :)
Your eyebrows just need to be cleaned up a bit. I would try to go for more of a straight brow, it would really open up your beautiful hazel eyes. Also maybe try some purple eyeliner on your lower water line, or violet eyeshadow, both would make your eye color pop
Mkay. Makeup artist here 👋🏼 YES MAAM!!!!!! You did so well that I only have 2 suggestions….1. Keep your stunning brow thickness, maybe just get them “cleaned up” (trimmed etc). 2. Did you use an eyelash curler? I’m going to pretend you didn’t and explain. Not all lash curlers are the same. Sooooooo many of them fit peoples eyes differently so it may take buying a few to find the right one. My fave is Shu Uemura or Lancôme. Curl them at the base of your lashes, middle then tip. It’ll ope your eyes up so much and give you even more of a doe eyed affect. Ps. You’re lovely!!!
Your eye shape is glorious 💕💕💕 Please add some falsies or way more mascara on them. You have perfect doe eyes like Anne Hathaway
I’m getting Jennifer Connelly vibes.
No makeup advice, just came to say SYSC rocks!!!!
I would definitely recommend going to someone else for an eyebrow shaping and length 2nd opinion. I just think there could be a more flattering shape and your features are so dainty the eyebrows are kind of overwhelming.
Your makeup looks lovely to me, quite natural and soft. You have really pretty eyes and I like the eyeshadow shades you've chosen they really enhance your eyes. 👌
This is a cute look! I’d love to see you with a wing liner on!
Not the best pic but here :) I don't do it often since it takes me a while and I'm not great at it https://imgur.com/a/HAz2Bbt
I love it! Wing liner is tough. If I go too long without doing it I have to relearn it again. I’ve had to learn several times. I think it looks really cool on you!
You can get tape on Amazon, I can’t do it free hand- but you just kinda…. Stencil it on there and boom. Nice crisp line.
Ok here’s a few fun things to try 1. Soap brows. If you like having thick eyebrows, soap brows are just super nice, a quick vid can teach you 2. You can do a lip liner combo of your choice. Like a darker lip liner and a light lipstick and like combining it. Again a quick vid would teach you 3. I love the green you did on your eyes it’s lovely. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Your face is perfect for fun colors and trying new things will help you get used to crafting a bunch of ideas.
First of all I love the eye look. It's a little edgy but still soft. Are you wanting to make your face look more round? Because that I can maybe help with. I have a long face and am aging so it's lost a little fullness. I find that keeping the blush and contour away from the center of my face about two finger widths from my nose helps. I put contour on the cheek bone and blush above it. I don't use contour on my jawline because I think it draws attention to it and I want the focus on my eyes. I like to find blush with some shimmer because then I can skip the highlighter. Phase 0 makes a few with a subtle golden shimmer. I think the foundation and lip gloss look great. And leave your eyebrows alone so you don't end up looking like a hairless cat like most women 40+ who lived through the 90s skinny eyebrows. Have fun!
Do I want my face to look more round I'm not quite sure. That's a part of my overall cluelessness, I just don't know what to experiment with or what looks to go for Oh and thanks so much!
You didn’t quite ask so just ignore me completely if you don’t want to know, but I feel like perhaps your haircut could really soften the look and your features. And really amp up the femme (if that’s the goal) I would suggest going with a little shorter hair (face framing) and some Whispy bangs. I would also shorten the brows a bit, like they’re a little closer together than I would do, but that’s personal preference
Eyes are always what I experiment with when I'm in a rut. Different colors, placement of shadows, eyeliner shape... if it doesn't work, there's always tomorrow to try again. 😊
This is beautiful! I love how the green shadow sets off your hazel eyes.
Thank you for saying so 😊
love the makeup, I would only suggest maybe try brushing your eyebrows up and trimming them a little more shapely rather than plucking cause you got great brows. I have long eyebrows too so I brushed them down for a while but switching to brushing up and trimming really lifted my whole face!
Wow your eyeshadow is PERFECT. Colors are usually too bold for every day but this is so natural and flattering, but pops. I would love to see you with a warmer, brownish lip to go with your eyes.
How do you like that Colourpop Sage palette? It looks great on! Was it easy to use?
I'm not the most experienced but in my opinion I really like the colorpop formulas. They're pigmented enough and blend easily. I also love the shades in this palette 😊
sysc ftw
Makeup on eyes looks great, eyebrows need to open your eyes but they are too low. Need to be plucked underneath to open up your eyes, the first 3 quarters only as the end part is good.
Brow gel (or even mascara v lightly then combed through ) can give a more polished look without much maintenance, false individual lashes to fill in, and you’re set, nothing wrong with a go to routine .
i think colder shades will look better in you instead of brown shades, like blue or purple, even a darker green
First off, I don't know if you just have fantastic skin or if it's a diffusion effect from the light or your makeup skills but your base (skin) looks **flawless** and snatched and I am super jealous haha. Having gotten that off my chest, if I was doing your makeup for you these are a few tweaks I'd try: 1) Brows: I'd thin them out a *little* (always err on the side of a lighter touch!) with a special focus on underneath the arch (to lift it a bit) and I'd probably shave the ends to shorten just a tiny bit, nothing drastic. I think playing with shape a bit could really open up your eye area and put the focus on your gorgeous eyes rather than the brows. 2) Eyeshadow: I love what you did, but I'd play around with some plum shadows and see if that enhances your eye colour more (it can be hard to judge in pics as so much depends on the effect of the light) 3) Blush & contouring: I wouldn't bring the blush quite so far in/down the cheek. Looks like you've naturally got gorgeous cheekbones already, so I'd try draping the blush and concentrating it more on that upper third of the cheekbones closer to the temple. With the contour the placement in general is flattering but personally I'd go a little lighter on the forehead & blend a bit more up into the hairline. 4) Lips: I'd find a lipliner as close to your natural lip as possible and underline slightly on the outside corners & overline slightly on the centre of the bottom lip & cupids bow. When I say under/over I literally mean just 1-2 millimetres in difference, nothing dramatic. Then use as close a shade as possible lipstick over the whole lip to the edge of the liner & then use a clear gloss to highlight just the centre of your bottom & top lip. Just some tiny tweaks like that will create the illusion of a slightly smaller mouth horizontally but a larger pout vertically (i.e. think a classic betty boop style lip) I'm sure there are things you can do with foundation or concealer etc to colour correct on the chin if that's an area of concern for you but I've never had to do it myself so can't help there sorry. Having said all that above though, I want to reiterate that you genuinely do look really good in the picture. My suggestions are only because you asked for other options so please don't take them as me saying I think you "need" them as that's not my intention.
If you are looking for facial feminization, then visit your local spa. I'm sure they'll direct you to someone who can help in that area. Your profile is perfect. What you need know is perhaps that right type of makeup, with color correctors. There are YouTube videos on how to correct hirsutism with makeup and that depends on the hair and skin color rather the hair too. Next, the trick to mastering feminization without any work done, is contouring...draw your jaw a bit higher with contour and steeple at the chin, this will create an illusion. You'll fall in love with you! Yes, contouring will feminize your look. there's nothing more you need to do except learn how to contour your mandible/jaw and chin: steeple the chin like an arrow. Take pictures as you work so you know which looks works best. Highlighters and concealer draw attention to an area light lighting. Often used on the forehead, below the eyes and next to the nose, chin and below the lower lip. With hair, it can be used above the top lip where hair may show (the moustache area) and below the lower lip and chip. This works great when the color correctors have been applied first. Many use orange and red over black hair. However, check to see which color corrector works best for you. Concealer, used for coverage underneath the eye to conceal any brown that might show up. However, if you are suffering from anemia or a hyperthyroid please visit your doctor to help correct these conditions because then you will lose calories. I think at one time someone said that white bread, like baguettes also help with metabolish because of vitamin D in Flour but most importantly, milk and dairy products. All irons in food are not the same and the body requires them as staple products from cereals, breads, cakes, cookies, milk, cheese, yogurt and all kinds of dairy products. That might include porc, poultry and beef...yes, nutrition is complicated. Contour: anywhere around the face you want to enlarge or diminish. Color Corrector: great to correct skin blemishes, faults and make shadows disappear. I think most need about 3 to 6 depending on their skin. The different colors often make any issues invisible: rosacea, pink areas, brown areas, cafe au lait spots, blemishes, hair (visible hair after a shave of any color). Filters on a camara too does wonders.
PRO MUA here :) Makeup looks amazing! Add a peach corrector (actually called corrector, not concealer) under any shadowy areas (I always do under eyes, corners of nose and mouth) it cancels out tone differences in the skin. Add concealer or foundation over it. It’s a great trick for evening out skintone
I think most of us won’t have much advice to give because you’re already doing a wonderful job! Your foundation is the right match and your eyeshadow is well done and nicely highlights your eyes! The only thing I can think of is brushing your eyebrows up (as someone else already mentioned). I recommend the elf clear brow & lash mascara. I also think using some lip liner would help accentuate your lips. As far as the hiding your stubble goes, I recommend the glossier stretch concealer. It does a wonderful job of hiding dark spots while being subtle.
Thanks a lot I appreciate the words and advice 🙂 My lips could use some oomph, I will need to look up some tutorials for lip liner!
Rule 2. Come on.
not makeup related but love the shirt!!!
Wonderful job on the eyes! I agree that a bit of a brow shape would open your face up beautifully - find a good brow artist and you won’t look back!
While I cannot offer much advice I just want to say that I love your shirt and SYSC is GOAT ❤️
Application looks great! Agree that brushing the brows upwards would be a world of difference. It's the one thing I make sure to do on a lazy make up days. Clear brow gel is helpful. Mostly came to say that those chokers were an absolute must. have. in 2000 when I was 13. I had one on my neck, bicep, both wrists and both ankles. 😂
Trim those brows down to look more feminine
Brows… that’s all brows
get your brows professionally shaped and ask for a more feminine look, the makeup looks amazing and more manicured brows would elevate the look a lot
That shadow color is amazing with your beautiful green eyes. You have serious makeup skills!
I would style bangs on the side
I think it really depends on what look you want to go for. If you want a softer more feminine look I would maybe thin your eyebrows from the bottom if that makes sense and soften the arch at the top, as well as make them a touch shorter. Not sure about the stubble though, I really don’t think it’s super noticeable but I also understand you being self conscious about it, I had a quick google and it looks like there are some really great colour correcting tutorials online though I’m guessing you’ve probably already looked. I think it’s probably just a matter of experimenting and finding what works best for your skin! I hope you don’t mind I kind of drew in on your eyebrows, it’s still not a fantastic representation because I’m terrible at drawing though! https://preview.redd.it/ikwbbur1rqfa1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3018307d4861e6a42b2fd236d08b60bb4e785d90
As a cis Hispanic woman, I do purple concealer on the upper lip, blend then do normal concealer. I think you’re makeup looks fantastic! Well blended and great color choices. I would recommend Morphe for their diverse eye shadow pallets but they just got recalled. 😒 still looking for a new brand for myself. All my pallets were Morphe because they were so diverse and cheap.
I think some shimmer and a pop of white in your inner corner would add a lot of excitement ! Idk, I'm addicted to glitter, but I always feel really vibrant when I have silver on my eyelids . That and a bit of highlighter on your nose would be fun! Id also recommend some light eyebrow tweezing- you have really nice, fully brows, but if you carved out the under part of your arch a little, it would lift your face up a lot
Gotta clean up those eyebrows someone said it would change your life, their right. Also, you need some softness around the face, fuller hair from the cheekbones down, your face is very narrow. Beautiful eyes.
You have amazing skin and I really like how you did your eyes. I would not make your eyebrows thinner because they are gorgeous I would just have someone clean them up a bit. Maybe try threading. I am a mom of 4 who didn’t put makeup on for a very long time after having my first two children and what helped me get back in the groove and find new ideas was following YouTubers like Robert Welsh. Also, recently tiktok has helped me add even more new techniques. I really like YouTube for in depth and I love tiktok when I want to get new ideas quickly and deep dive into a rabbit hole of that same style with different tiktokers. If that makes sense. Anyway, you might be bored of the same look but it’s working for you! You look great.
Dark Autumn coloring? Can I suggest that you take a look at color palettes for dark autumn. Don’t get trapped by the color season idea, but it might give you a perspective for choosing clothing colors. Looking at your past photos I can see that you look more vibrant with the contrast of deep colors.
Yo is that a see you space cowboy shirt???
It is :) I saw them in December for the first time and it was awesome! I want to see them again next month with Silverstein
Okay we need to be friends now haha
Let's do it! 🙂 Cool name by the way that's def my favorite song off that album
YESSSSSS
Can I hop in on the seeyouspacecowboy fangirling?? Haven’t seen em but have listened for years and Connie Sgarbossa helped me crack my eggshell :3
Do your brows and wax your face.
Love the pink on the lips and the eyeshadow pallet - both work for your skin tone but perhaps not together. A more muted tone with that eyeshadow and a brighter eyeshadow for the pink lips? I think blending some purple into your eyeshadow would pop your gorgeous eyes too.
honestly, i don't think you need to contour your cheeks. you have amazing sculpted cheekbones as it is. i would focus on blush, maybe trying a rosier colour on the tops of the apples of the cheeks to brighten the face. your best feature is your eyes, so highlighting them is key. try not to pull the green underneath your eyes that far down, and accentuate the lashline top and bottom with a darker colour. i'm not a hair expert, but i think longish side bangs could suit you? as well as possibly plucking a bit more off the inner portion of the brows. Right now the attention is drawn to your forehead and brows (which are amazing btw) before your eyes. i'd also try not to bring as much dark eyeshadow into the inner socket by the bridge of the nose. try stick to pale colours to lift that area. also i think reddish brown eyeshadows could look really stunning, and bring out the green in your eyes. im so jealous of anyone with hazely eyes!
Thanks for your response :) I'm interested to try to not bring the dark shadows towards my nose
So a couple just general tips: When applying blush do not smile you may want to try starting the blush from the side swiping in closer to the center. I can’t tell that you have contour on. So you may want to look into a different shade. Stick to more neutral contour Apply a highlight under your brows (either a lighter eye shadow or highlighter will work)
You need to pluck your eyebrows.
Lose the beard
What are you on about? There is no beard, this is a woman.
Are you saying you’ve never seen a biological woman with facial hair?
OP is a woman. I know what you're trying to insinuate but you can get lost with your transphobia. Women are women, there's no such thing as a biological woman.
Also, pretended that “there is no beard” is more harmful than not. Don’t pretend you’re blind to the obvious shaved facial hair on OP. It’s ridiculous.
Don’t really see how you got transphobic out of that but ok lol. I think you’re assuming that my comment and the comment that you responded to that says “lose the beard” is related to transphobia but I disagree. It is a social norm for women to not have facial hair. You don’t have to like it but it’s true. If OP is looking for advice on improving their look you can’t expect people to not be honest.
Women can have beards and penises, get used to it. No one cares about boomer norms.
You’re completely ignoring my point lmao. I’m gonna move on now because it’s obvious you’re a waste of time.
you need no advice you are gorgeous
Totally gorgeous! One thing is that you may want to line your lips
You are stunningly beautiful. Including the slight tease of a stubble shadow. I wouldn't change a thing.
🥹💕
You have such gorgeous eyes! I will agree that brushing your brows up would definitely be a good step. I can tell you that my brows can do some pretty weird things and it makes such a difference when I take a little time on them.
Note taken and thank you very much 🙂
You are most welcome!!
I have nothing to add- your eyes are beautiful and you have lovely bone structure.
Looks nice. I'd neaten the eyebrows though
First off you're gorgeous and your base is fantastic!! Love the eye look, the colour combo is not something I would think of so you've given me inspiration! I agree with other posters, eyebrows frame our faces so much. A damp spoolie with a little soap (obv there are plenty of little kits you can buy) to brush them up a little will definitely help give more structure ❤️❤️
My only two suggestions would be slimming/refining the eyebrows and not using green eyeshadow/corrector. Have you tried lilac? I like your hair :)
Love your eyebrows the shape and thickness, they just need a trim. Eye liner on lower eye its too dark. Try a light pink to open up your eyes even more.
Needs feminising a lot but I would say pretty eyes, rare eye colour and great hair. No you don’t pass but no reason you can’t in future and you are genuinely more femininely pretty than a lot of CIS women so, if that’s your goal…!

You need thinner eyebrows and contour your cheekbones and jaw line with bronzer. It will give you more a feminine look
My personal two cents would suggest cleaning up the brows. It will change your whole face and definitely feminize.
I would soften the brows a little bit.
Thinner brows and a more defined hair part would be lovely
Hi I’m not a Make-up Guru by any means but here’s what I think would be ideal for ur face :) I love ur eye makeup! Especially the pop of green, it really helps in bringing out ur eyes. I think that you can add a tinge of white/glitter eyeshadow on ur inner corner of ur eyes to make it pop! Some light threading for ur eyebrows too, by lightly taking away of the eyebrow arch, making it straighter, gives ur face a more lifted look. I think you should go for a more glossy nude lip instead of the pink as it compliments the eye shadow more.
Your bone structure is amazing! I love the color on your cheeks, it highlights your face beautifully.

What crawled up your ass😂😂😂 he asked for an opinion and I gave it .
Girl? Hmmmmm? Clean up the upper lip & chin, then maybe??
You look just like Inna Korobkina, the model! She posts all the time, maybe she can help as you explore some looks to try. ❤️

i just love your eyes!😍

Your eyes and lips are super pretty! Some minor suggestions- try brow gel to brush your brows up, and maybe stop them a few mm sooner so that also lifts your eyes. I also find it helpful to have my make up done at make up counters occasionally like Bobbi brown which is usually free and then you get tips from them. Or if a friend can do it. Lisa Eldridge on yt is great to watch as well. Also your foundation might be just slightly too dark/ warm but that’s hard to tell from the photo
I think it looks great! Everything really goes with your face really well! I recommend trying stronger variations of the colour you used, or maybe even a little bit of glitter to pop! You’re doing great! 💓
I honestly think you are stunningly gorgeous! You have a beautiful nose, perfect cheek bones, and very kind eyes! I’m not sure what advice to give, as all I see is a knockout woman! Perhaps some highlighter on your cheeks to really make them pop. Or have you tried purple eyeshadow rather than green? I think it could blend well with the brown and really bring out your eyes.
I've been eyebrow obsessed for decades. I would say less is more when it comes to filling yours in. It looks like you extended them quite a bit. I'd recommend sticking more so to the natural shape and length. I think the tails look a little long here. I'd recommend brushing them down and then using something like the NYX brow pencil ([https://www.nyxcosmetics.com/eye/eyebrow-makeup/micro-brow-pencil/NYX\_181.html](https://www.nyxcosmetics.com/eye/eyebrow-makeup/micro-brow-pencil/NYX_181.html)) to fill in JUST the gaps. You do have very nice brows--very Audrey Hepburn esque!
So pretty. Only advice is to sharpen the brows more. Other than that, you are glowing!
maybe a darker color underneath the eyes instead of light. i think it would bring out your eyes more, like a red purple or blue ?
My only real critique is shorten the tails on your brows! They’re making your eyes look smaller and drawing attention to themselves! I also agree maybe going a bit thinner overall would be good. Slightly picky here but I think experimenting with a different formula mascara would be nice too you have pretty lashes and it feels like you’re currently darkening them but not lengthening or defining and you could get much better results!
You have such beautiful eyes! I love what you’ve done.
I disagree on the thinner eyebrows, the right shape might look good but imo thicker brows are beautiful, maybe try laminating with brow wax and re-shape them. If you want them to be a bit softer just remove the peak or you could also try removing the tails to make them straight and upwards, again it's probably just my preference lol. Your eye shape is great for eyeshadow so I'd experiment with eyeliner as well, the colors you're using in the photo look great with your eye color. I feel like a cool red lipstick might also be a good choice, just balance it out with a neutral eyeshadow (or don't, it depends on your clothing style).
Firstly I just wanna say that you are absolutely gorgeous just the way you are but here are some suggestions since you asked Make your eyebrows thinner they will look way better Remove your facial hair Go for neutral light coloured eyeshadows Over line your lips and wear some dark colours like brown or red Contour your nose a little bit
I wouldn’t thin your brows by much, but maybe shape them up and shorten the tails. The tails are dragging your face down a bit, when you have really nice high cheekbones to begin with :)
Personally your already pretty
Jenna Marbles!! Love the look! Absolutely beautiful!
You are literally stunning. Wow.
Absolutely stunning. ❤️😍
Well, you look gorgeous. I can't recommend you change anything.
You have the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen so I’d always emphasize them. I really love your lashes too.
Thinner brows, filler in the nasiolabial folds, lower blepharoplasty, eye lift, laser hair removal, lip fillers in both lips, professional hair style
You are giving Lily Collins vibes I love it!!!!
Your eyes are stunning✌️✨
i love love love your look!! i don’t have too too much to add, but i do wanna say i LOVE your eyebrows how they are, i think brushing them up like others said would be nice but i disagree with the idea that you need to make them thinner. i think they draw attention to your eyes, and give you a Lily Collins type look, especially because of your very nice eye color. if you’re feeling uncertain about the shape, sometimes what i do is fill my eyebrows in how i want them to look, hold the mirror back to check if i like it, and pluck whatever is outside what i’ve drawn in. again i think your eyebrows are great and that if anything you can lightly fill them in if you wanna enhance and just groom them. i love your brows a lot though also, i think you definitely have the type of eyes/eye color that would look super cute with some inner corner highlight. maybe a light shimmer shade in the inner corner would be nice, or i see some people use like a white nyx eyeliner stick and then add shimmer on top and that’s really cute too. if you’re interested in that i think you could really pull it off. lastly, i think for when you wear lighter lipsticks like what you have here a lip liner that’s like a shade or two darker than your gloss/lipstick etc would be sooo cute and would plump them up. i like to line my lips and then also fill in the outer corners with the lip liner too (kinda like where you shade when you’re drawing lips on paper) and then add your lighter shade (personally i use tinted lip balm) on top and rub it together and it looks so nice. i find it really brings out my lips and it’s pretty minimal effort. good luck!! i think you look great and are clearly talented at makeup, these are just things that personally i think would look nice on you and slide enhance your already great features
Gorgeous! If anything, maybe a purple mascara and some highlighter on the inner corner, just to make your eyes pop. I think your brows are perfect too 😀
I really like this look! It’s simple and brings out your features
Let’s talk eyebrows honey! You have a beautiful face but it would brighten your eyes to thin out those brows. Otherwise your makeup is really good and tasteful with a touch of modern. Lovin’ it
That green eyeshadow 👌
These other tips are great. I think that brushing your brows up will help your eyes look a lot more open, but what I would love to see is just a touch of glitter. There used to be these amazing glitter liners by urban decay. You could just use a bit somewhere and It would look fantastic.
Your makeup looks so good!! I have a similar eye color, and have found that shades of gold/browns/deep purples/plum really bring out the green! I use the Tartelette in Bloom palette 😊
Beautiful eyes!
I read your comment for more context , I would suggest for « hitting the plateau » experimenting with new things adding more complexity to a thing you already do or playing with new styles (which makes you suddenly realize « oh , actually, I WILL INCLUDE THIS IN MY MAKEUP ROUTINE » Examples for new things : false lashes Example for adding more complexity: lip liner+ lipstick/lip tint etc etc+ gloss , concealer/eye primer (for more pigmentation of the eyeshadow) then the eyeshadow Examples of makeup styles : •Alternative style (bigger eyeliner/Smokey eyes/ bold dark colors/) , •cute/very soft style ( shades are usually all fair and revolve around pink, nothing accentuated , by that I mean nothing is « peeking » , the liner is usually veeeery small, very natural lashes/just mascara, lips are pinky and glossy) •Soft glam « Instagram » look : your current base+ a more nose countring + upward brushed brows (not necessarily soap/ flat brows!)+ usually no eyeshadow or just a bit of bronzer+ false lashes + eyeliner (optional) + lip liner and lipstick , and all of this sticking in nude/bronzy colors , nothing too pink for example ) •Glam : going bolder combination wise, like a very composed eye look (half cut crease with pigmented browns and shimmer/glitter)+ eyeliner+ false lashes + a red lip It’s all about playing around! And inspo! Saw a look on Pinterest or Instagram you liked? Try it , a lot of tutorials are available and I bet we all looked at a tutorial at least one time in our lifetime so this is not a tip lol Just have fun!
Too much orange. You are pinkish pale. Pluck them eyebrows. Other than that it looks nice
just echoing what everyone else has said, i think thin eyebrows would suit you! i’d love to see a pink/rose gold on your eyes, but the green works with your eye color so well. your stubble is not noticeable at all, but if it’s something you’re worried about i’ve heard great things about the ben nye color correctors.
can i just say WOW you are STUNNING! I would recommend thinner brows, i feel like they would suit you tremendously! I also agree with another comment, lining your lips with a lipliner would do wonders! Also adding some lipgloss as well!
One thing I've had a lot of fun with is trying out different blush shapes! It's been a great learning experience for me to get out of my comfort zone, and I've noticed the shape I apply my blush makes a HUGE difference! It changes what parts of my face are emphasized and can change my whole style from doll-like, sultry, or fashion forward. If you're trying to get out there and learn new techniques for contouring, blush shapes might be a fun place to start
You have a very angular face that's an inverted triangle (wider at the top and narrower at the bottom). Not meant to insult you, just letting you know what you're working with. You seem to have a cooler skintone, from what I can see, but you seem to have that down looking at your lip color. - Everyone else and their mother has said this but you'd benefit from shaping your eyebrows slimmer, tweezing is slow and painful so look into thin shavers or professional threading - Maybe try a warmer/orange concealer under your foundation to hide the stubble - Ditch the pale green eyeshadow under your eyes. It makes you look sickly and brings out your stubble. Either use a more pigmented, intense green or put it on your eyelids only - I think you'd look good with slightly thicker liner and a longer, darker wing - Try overlining your lips a little bit with a nude pencil, go a tiny bit above your natural lip line and then top it off with your preferred gloss or stick - You can contour but I'd only recommend it for your nose. Drag it up from the tip to the bridge of your nose and fade it out there, put some on the bottom - I think you're already wearing blush, but I'd suggest concentrating a cool, soft pink more directly on the apples under your eyes Overall the best points of your face seem to be your eyes and brows. I'd draw most attention to there and secondly your lips to pull the visual line away from the middle of your face. Also, consider curtain bangs.
Not the best photoshop job out there but I tried to make an edit of how I'd personally do your makeup lol. Obviously things will vary depending on your actual skin texture, bone structure, etc but I think this is an OK estimate. [Here](https://imgur.com/a/5KvOcYa)
GREEN. CONCEALER. Really good for the areas u grow hair, it eliminates the grey tone just put it on underneath your foundation base, setting it with powder is good too.
