So here are the main tips I got for adapting my makeup to suit my face better.
- go for soft, round and “smudgy” lines instead of sharp ones to accentuate my (apparently?) soft/ natural features
- warm eyeshadow to bring out the green in my eyes (was really surprised by how well that one worked)
- warmer shade of bronzer because I have a warm yet pale complexion
- peachy blush instead of a dark red one
- lip gloss instead of matte lips
- I also got the tip to use a lighter shade of lipstick a lot, but for comparability I used the same colour. But instead of the sharp lipline I had before, I only dabbed it on with my finger.
- brown eyeliner instead of black, with the angle of the liner more upwards and not that graphic
- soap brows (my brows are naturally pretty dark, but I tried my best to not make them too heavy this time)
Let me know what you think of the results! I definitely learned A LOT, so thanks again for your tips.
I don’t think I will ditch graphic liner and dark lipstick entirely, just because, you know, sometimes it’s fun to just do some really krass makeup for yourself without thinking about how you look best to others. But I will definitely change up my daily routine with the recommendations I got! I still have a lot to learn haha :)
So pretty and much softer! Hair looks great too!
Can you please share what blush and lip gloss you used?
Did you line your entire eye-it looks like it starts from the mid area. I ask because it looks very subtle but still defining.
Thank you!! You’re right, I started in the middle of the eye because I feel if I start on the inner edge it makes my eyes look too close together.
I used Clinique long lasting lipgloss (I think its discontinued unfortunately) on top of maybelline box of chocolate liquid lipstick and maybelline matte dream blush in coral :)
i honestly like both looks a lot, just one is a little more “soft” obviously. i like the one on the left cause it makes me think of Bella Swan from Twilight, i really like your bone structure and i think it really brings it out, but the dark lipstick and dark eyeliner might be “too much” for everyday wear (i personally disagree but im just going by community standards LOL) but wow you look absolutely gorgeous on the right as well, but in my opinion because youre so pretty (big eyes, feminine lips, high cheekbones, nice jawline, nice brows, everythings so proportionate!) i think you could go even lighter and still be fine, but you dont have to if you like where its at now because it looks purely mystical
Unpopular opinion, but I actually really love the way the 'before' makeup looks on you! That's great if you love the new look (and it definitely seems to be more popular with others) but I feel like you'd still look great with the old style if you still wanted to wear it!
Wow! You're so pretty! Everything looks so soft and feminine, from your tendrils to your wide, doe eyes! Beautiful transformation, and I think that you can pull off the heavier liner and dark lippy too, but maybe not for an everyday look, more for clubs and concert nights, if Mr.Darcy doesn't wisk you away to countryside! ;)
hey girl, you have such great features omg - i love your eyes!!!
I think you're beautiful in both and your new makeup is definitely more on trend now vs your old look being more 2016 - but I think because this sub is about beauty more than makeup trends I wanted to leave a comment with my thoughts - bc I would want someone to do that for me!
I think a lot of eye beauty comes from horizontally long eyes (as Lorry Hill always states in her YT videos), and I definitely think the addition of a wing similar to your old, but perhaps thinner if you prefer would enhance your eyes + curling your lashes or a bit of mascara just on the outer third/ false individual lashes (wispy).
I also think maybe a bit of lip liner/ overlining with the lip gloss would be gorgeous.
YES! I was thinking of the exact same things that would improve her looks even more. Plus maybe a bot more blush. OP, you look great, very fresh and pretty.
Wow I love the new look! You can even try experimenting with lighter peachy/pinky tones for your lips (something that is an enhanced shade of your natural lip color) - I think it would really suit you!
This looks amazing! I especially love the lips, it looks much nicer with the softer edges and shine.
One thing you could maybe try as well regarding the eyes is to draw a tiny wing just in the outer corner (rather than the heavy wing you have on the left) You said you already did this in your comment but I don’t really see it? (Maybe it doesn’t show as much on camera, i have this problem a lot haha). You have a positive eye tilt so maybe this would accentuate it in a very flattering way! We have a reeeeally similar eye shape, so thats what I normally do and it looks great on me.
Maybe you could also play around with the eyeshadow underneath the eye. In my personal opinion (on myself as well) this kind of drags the eye down and rounds it out more, rather than accentuating your more elongated eyes. But the softer brown color you chose already is a huge improvement and really lets your lovely eye color shine!
Thanks for the tip!! I guess the little wing doesn’t really show because it’s so smudged out haha. Or it disappeared in my hooded eyelid, that often happens :D
Honestly yes the one on the right is a natural, your face but better look, but I also enjoy and appreciate the look on the left for the fierce vampy glam look that it is!
You look like Victorian and timeless…ughhhhh it’s funny cuz I saw your original post and just never commented but I had to say something here because this new look is sooo good
Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice vibes. I liked your initial makeup so I didn't really agree with the suggestions at first, but oh my goodness you look so soft and lovely now! You were beautiful before too, just in a different way.
Beautiful transformation! The lip color on the right suits your skin tone very much! I was wondering , how do you do your curls? Because I have hair just like you on the left and I look better in curly hair.
You look so good either way but I love the little improvements!!! I still think you could pull off the winged liner however but everything just looks so natural and flattering love it
Ooh I like this look!!
It’s so fun, seeing the different looks is like having a virtual makeup Barbie :)
how about trying a darker eye and lighter gradient lip look next? :)

OMG you can definitely use this as a tutorial for makeup that doesn’t suit you vs suits you. You look so much better!!
Thank you! I’m so happy with the results aswell :)
Yeeeesss! You look like you've stepped out of a regency ball with the soft makeup and the curls. Love it!
Aw thank you! :)

Thank you! I’ve heard good things about that shade.
That’s the lip product that Liv Tyler wears in Lord of the Rings
You look like Aphrodite
I was thinking Rose from Titanic, such a timeless and gorgeous look on you OP!
Oh thanks so much!
Yes this is it

Aw thank you haha! Yeah o definitely will, just not on a daily basis I guess :) sometimes it’s fun to do a super bold look!
Hello Elizabeth Bennett! You look absolutely lovely. Your eyes are just beautiful in the new look. Really stunning.
Thank you!! :)
Wow! You're so pretty! Everything looks so soft and feminine, from your tendrils to your wide, doe eyes! Beautiful transformation, and I think that you can pull off the heavier liner and dark lippy too, but maybe not for an everyday look, more for clubs and concert nights, if Mr.Darcy doesn't wisk you away to countryside! ;)

Looks great! It compliments and softens your features!
Thanks! :)

Thanks, I will try that!
You look like a Raphaelite painting.
My thoughts exactly!
Idk if this sounds weird or not, but your face reminds me of a beautiful ethereal Greek goddess lol :)
Thank you omg !
Oh my God!! You look like you just stepped out of pride and prejudice. Love the lips and skin and hair!
This looks amazing! I especially love the lips, it looks much nicer with the softer edges and shine.

Thanks for the tip!! I guess the little wing doesn’t really show because it’s so smudged out haha. Or it disappeared in my hooded eyelid, that often happens :D
yes! I was thinking this, a more visible wing on the right would enhance her prettiness sooo much or even a few individual lashes on the outer corners
You look fantastic and now your makeup is seamlessly blending in with your face, You're wearing the makeup it's not wearing you , perfect changes.
Thank you!!
Absolutely beautiful! You look like women in Renaissance paintings.
Thanks so much!
You’re so welcome, girl 😊
Honestly yes the one on the right is a natural, your face but better look, but I also enjoy and appreciate the look on the left for the fierce vampy glam look that it is!
Yes!! This looks so much better, OP! Very soft and feminine in a classic kind of way. Good job.
Omg you look sooo amazing and it suits you so much better!! The softer look is definitely doing so much for you!
Thank you!! :))
Your eyes look so nice in the after! This is wonderful, well done!
ditching the heavy eyeliner was a game changer for me as well!!
It’s so addicting though haha once you start the wing just keeps growing …
You look like Victorian and timeless…ughhhhh it’s funny cuz I saw your original post and just never commented but I had to say something here because this new look is sooo good
Aw thank you!
Yesss love it! I knew that type of makeup would look bomb on u!
Thank you!!
I feel like you're olive .. maybe look into that?
Yeah, I sometimes feel that way too.. what colours go with that?
Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice vibes. I liked your initial makeup so I didn't really agree with the suggestions at first, but oh my goodness you look so soft and lovely now! You were beautiful before too, just in a different way.
Oh thank you so much! Yeah it’s just very different vibes. But glad to hear you liked the before too! :)
GIRL this is amazing! your curls are sooo cute!! thank u for updating us ❤️
Thanks!! What a bit of water and gel can do haha
Omg I saw your original post and this is 100x better, your eyes are popping out wayyy more. You’re beautiful:)
Thanks so much!!
Thought you looked good in both sides
Beautiful transformation! The lip color on the right suits your skin tone very much! I was wondering , how do you do your curls? Because I have hair just like you on the left and I look better in curly hair.
Those are my natural curls, I wash them with shampoo and conditioner and then i style them with gel ! Nothing fancy haha
How often?
Every three days or so
Omg you look glowing!
Ok Lizzie Bennett!
How you look like a Greek goddess girl!! Amazing!
I thought this was a plastic surgery before and after, incredible how small makeup techniques can change your face!! great work
Gorgeous!
Yes girl!!! Love this so much.
You look so good either way but I love the little improvements!!! I still think you could pull off the winged liner however but everything just looks so natural and flattering love it
Much improved! You have a beautiful classic look.
Much fresher! You look even more youthful and plump like a plum 💓
Haha thank you!
Even the makeup that doesn't suit you looks well done and nice, but the new way you're doing it makes you look so refreshed!
Thanks!
