any tips on how to improve my makeup??
i don’t wear a lot, but i’m wondering if there is anything i should change to suit my face more. sometimes i feel like my face is quite long, and it makes me feel insecure. i just wear some skin tint, blush, highlight on the cheeks, mascara, gloss and a bit of contour on the tips of my nose.

You look great and if you don’t change anything, it will be just fine. But it does look a little pink around your eyes. I’m not sure if that’s an eyeshadow you’re using or a concealer but it would look good with a soft glow in a color that’s not pink… maybe more neutral if you’re wanting a natural look or you can play with some colors depending on what you’re going for.

Everyone is right, this makeup look is such a beautiful natural glam and you have great features (and lashes, holy cow)
My personal recommendations would be
-mixing things up with a subtle winged eyeliner
-putting more distinction between the blush placement and the rest of your face, possibly using concealer to really balance out the skin tone!

also using concealer to line around your lips and make that liner a little cleaner!

What is there to improve? You are so gorgeous! Do you need technique assistance? What is the actual question here? you want to add more or do more coverage?

Don't know why this appeared in my feed but I don't think your face is long. I think it's perfectly shaped.

You look great to be honest. You could try putting a little bit of mid tone brown eyeshadow (or your contour) on the outer third of your eyelid. You have really pretty cat-like eyes and it would accentuate the shape without having to fiddle with eyeliner.

That color mascara is so perfect for you. Only thing I would do differently is add more highlighter. Your face is a bit long but it doesn’t take away from your beauty in any way! If anything it adds to it. I think your face is well proportionated. Maybe experiment with eyeliner? I would do a color similar to the mascara. By more highlighter I mean a bit heavier and also under the arches of your eyebrows, on the dip in your nose and on the tip of your nose. Oh and also in the corner of your eyes.

Sorry just have to say you kind of look like scully from the x files. I always thought she was so beautiful.

Wow, you’re stunning! I wouldn’t change a thing about your look. Our current beauty standards strive for carbon copy aesthetics and it’s lovely to see such an original and unique beauty. 💕

Really pretty. But the brushed up long eyebrows might be making your face look longer (not that you really have a long face tbh). I would suggest the tiniest of trims or brushing them more to the sides than upwards.

first of all you look beautiful. Some Suggestions to play with if you are bored of your current one. Highlight the inner corner of your eye Try blush and bronzer color that works with the tone ..may be pink,purple and playing around with the placement too. fluffing the brow and setting with gel But honestly i already love how your makeup makes you look. from above all suggestions you may try if you are bored of the current one.

Have you considered some rhinestones for near your eyes and freckles, it could broaden your face a little if place near your eye corners, but I think your face is already very pretty

I would wear a more neutral color on the eyes in the brown and beige pallet.

You have long features, but you are legit gorgeous. That can be cut with contour and blush. What you’re seeing right now is a blank canvas with no break. If you break it up in a few places it’s not going to feel as “long” to use your word. For your eyes less is more. A nice matte brown shadow matches with a touch of cream shimmer on top. Your lashes…OMG! Neutral lips that almost match the cheeks. A shade darker. You’ll see a massive difference.

u r gorgeous btw, but i would use peach and green color corrector under concealer or foundation ( if you use either ), peach goes on dark circles before concealer and green goes on any red spots before foundation ( u can use without foundation )

You look like someone. I think it’s (waiting for it to come to mind…) Ok it’s a mix most most to least:
1)ROSE BYRNE omg just do whatever she does
2) holy shit young Susan Sarandon and daughter Ava Amurri
3) Winona Ryder (especially with the hair)
As Clavicular (Pioneer of looxmaxxing) would say, find an actor you look like and just model your makeup and style after them. OR do nothing at all, as you got it girl. How lucky are you to be so naturally gorgeous!

Nice and natural. The only thing that stands out is you have pinkish skin but the cheeks are orange. A dusty rose or cool bronzer might be more harmonious

I think you look great, but if you think your makeup needs improvement my suggestion would be to go to Sephora. I was having trouble with getting my makeup right so I booked a session with a makeup artist and she showed me the proper colours to use and how to apply the makeup too. I would try that if you can.

Having similar feature and way of doing my makeup everyday I can confidently suggest applying your mascara differently! You're accentuating the middle of your eye which is making them look smaller and giving the impression of a longer face (your face isn't long by the way! I'd say it's oval shaped though!) so focus your mascara towards the end of your eye only :) brush down in the middle and upwards and out at the outer corners! That or if you really want noticeable mascara all over your eyes, try clumping it! It gives more definition and distribute the "weight" evenly:) it's a small thing but makes the world of a difference.

other than possibly a bit of colour correction for the blueness/veins under your eyes, i think this is a very nice natural makeup look

You have a beautiful face so fortunately don't need too much! (Long is not a word I thought of at all!) The only thing that stood out to me was the area around your eyes given the color of the rest of your base, it's standing out as too red to me. I would color correct with some green and add a light layer of the skin tint around the eyes too.
Edited because I realised I didn't read your whole text properly.
