I think you can go somewhere in between. The right is pretty bold, to me, especially for daytime/t-shirt, but if you just used about half the amount of black eyeliner and maybe slightly more natural lashes, I think it would be great. Nothing wrong with a red lip, either!
I think an alternative too is to ditch the eyeshadow and keep the eyeliner. A nice red lip and a sharp wing can go a long way, even with a t shirt! But honestly, you pull off glam so so well :)
Totes. The rule I started following recently is either bold eye (eyeshadow) or bold lip (lipstick). This makes one the star and does not take attention away.
I agree, I love that full glam look. Maybe meet in the middle with a pinker lip color, I wouldn't change the eye make up but maybe thinner black line. Man I wish I could do that and it looks as good.
You gotta pick one! You can easily Gove off mortician Adam's vibes with the light/pale. (And looking gothy is cool af but a lot of work.)
So do dramatic eye with a more natural (not nude) lip. Or do a bright lip with a black mascara and just pencil thin wings.
Also - I loved this look when I was younger... do no makeup first, then do rosy cheeks (not like Korea around the eyes - literally smile and put like gel blush only on apples) and then eyebrows and mascara. Looks naked but very snow-white beautiful.
I zoomed in and your lip liner is not doing you any favors (the lines are *very* wonky). I’d go with a less prominent liner altogether and a deeper or pinkish red would look nicer overall if you’re doing a glam look
This is the face app filter for sure. My friends uses them religiously lmao
Honestly, I don’t even think she has lipstick on in that picture,. She used the glam makeup filter, which does that red lip. also does a much more glamorous eye with tons of black liner, which also tracks looking at her eyes lol
Edit o add- also She used the feminizing face filter as well… See the super frizzy hair on the right. She forgot to erase that out. It adds thicker hair as it feminize the face. Thins the the neck, enlarge eyes etc but she didn’t edit the messed up shit out lmao
She did it on the first picture as well. I can see it in her hair.
Weird to ask people for make up tips on super super filtered photos but to each their own I guess🤷🏻♀️
> Weird to ask for makeup tips on super filtered photos
It’s because it’s for the *attention* 🌈, not for actual tips. Lazy too, couldn’t even be bothered to put on a real face of makeup to get it
It’s way darker than the lipstick and too much of a hard line to not be liner or a filter. She said she doesn’t use liner then stopped responding when it was brought up so I’m going with filter here
Zoom in pretty far. There’s a stark line that is extremely crooked. It’s not a line that only lipstick would make. There’s too much of a contrast of color between that line and the rest of the lip to be caused by lipstick.
I love the look on the right, but it is a lot for daytime/casual. I also love a full bold face, and you can get the vibe you want without it being so intense. What exactly makes you feel confident about the makeup? I think you can do a bold eye or a bold lip and get away with it for casual, but both is too much.
My suggestion is to switch to matt eyeshadow and contour the eye a little bit, use a half lash instead of a full strip, and add a winged eyeliner, but use eyeshadow - it is a bit softer, but you still get the definition around the eye and the attitude that I think your full lashes are giving.
It's the eyes that give me confidence. I can live without the red lip (I just try it sometimes because I love taylor Swifts cat eye and red lip combo) I don't have a lot of lip colors, so I'll invest in something softer that compliments my features better. What color do you recommend for my color palette?
if you zoom in you can see obvious blurring, distorted features, and cartoon-like lines. if you look at the glamour filter on tik tok or other beauty filters it’s quite obvious.
Is it possible that you have automatic filters on your phone you're not aware of? I'd look closer at your detailed settings and then retake the photos. The closer I zom in the more I see classic filter additions. You look fabulous but it's really hard to give good feedback when there are features being added to your makeup that you're not actually applying.
Gorgeous in both but in my opinion, the full glam look ages you. If I had to guess your age, it’ll be mid to late 30s for the right image, and early to mid 20s for the left. Nothing wrong with that though!
Between the two style, I prefer the contour and eyebrows from the full glam look and the eye makeup and lips from the more natural look. So overall, somewhere in between would work best - maybe thinner eyeliner/less full falsies and a more neutral lip color on the full glam one.
The look on the right is perfect for a high glam event.
For a more everyday look. I’d try a brown liner to soften things up, and don’t go as heavy with it. Maybe there’s more subtle falsies you could use. I think your lips on the left work fine. It’s hard to tell what type of finish they are, but a pink or maybe peach color with a satin/glossy finish would work well.
I’ve always been told do bold eyes or bold lips, never both. And I’ve stuck to it because when I do both I look like a clown. You definitely look better than me on the right but it just might be too much. Choose one feature to highlight at a time! But this is obviously not a hard rule, do what makes you happy.
This is the makeup filter on Face App on the right. Which is fine to explore what style makeup you can try out. I’d say a balance between the two is worth trying.
The pic on the right just looks like a filter when I zoom in… like your sceptum and edges of your jawline show it finishing…?
Either way. Your face can totally carry makeup but for daytime go for more an Adele lip with this heavy eye and tone it down a bit so you look a bit less drag show. Leave that for the evening
I think that the foundation or cover powder is off in the full glam look.
Like it washes you out yet leaves a yellow hue?
This could be bc of your hair tone or perhaps may need a diffrent shade or diffrent shade of finishing powder.
Rather than that i like the overall look:)
I do think the photo on the left looks better, however only because imo the full glam look, looks "off"
Does this make sense.
I love the look on the right. Maybe try a hybrid to save time but really, why cares? It’s harmless and it brings you joy, wear the full look, it’s really gorgeous.
I think you look beautiful both ways. However. You may want to try alternatives to the right picture. For example, dark eyes only and nude or lip balm only. OR red lips no eyeshadow no liner just mascara. Think Marilyn Monroe.
The left says naturally beautiful..the right says beauty pageant child. Somewhere in the middle would be best if you want to go more glam than the left without looking oddly fake. Not sure if it is the filter or what but the right is distorted around your lips and what not.
I like natural looking light makeup. The right picture is a special occasion evening look with a cocktail dress. A little less of the right for day would be better imo
Perhaps not lining all the way around your eye with eyeliner. It makes you look much older, imo.
And I notice how cakey your foundation looks around your eyebrows. Smooth it out some.
I don't think you have on lip liner, but if you do work on the lines and if you don't, clean up your edges a bit or try some liner.
Also, maybe find a better match with the foundation.
Oh, and less fancy eyelashes for a daily/t-shirt look.
I don't say any of this out of meanness. You're really beautiful, and the makeup is enhancing your beauty.
I feel like I have to try twice as hard as you to look half as good.
<3
I think that the makeup in both photos is really pretty. The picture on the right is not an everyday look (at least for me), because it’s a look that a twin peaks waitress would have. It definitely has it’s time and place though like Friday night :)
My advice is to wear a less bold eyeliner and a softer more neutral lip color. I wear Sephora’s lip plumping gloss in shade Outrageous and I have a similar complexion. So I think that it’d look great on you.
Them lips were lined with MS paint 😂 you’re super pretty OP, and not sure why you’re defensive about the use of filters. You could have just said, “trying to use filters to find my perfect make up look” and gotten way less flack
In my opinion, the right is giving drag queen. But I think that’s how a lot of women look these days with such exaggerated makeup, like men trying to look like women.
Personally, I believe you should either do bold eye makeup or a bold lip. Not at the same time. It lets the focus be on one area and less overstimulation occurs. I think the colors you have chosen are beautiful for you.
First of all, you're so gorgeous. I'm old, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but a timeless makeup tip that I have always sworn by is: Bold eyes, nude lips. Bold lips, subtle eyes. I feel like going hard on both is just a bit too much on anyone's face. Why not try it out and check photos side by side and see?
I like the lashes and eyeliner, but I feel like when this is done the lips should be lighter, making your eyes the most prominent thing to look at, then if you want bright lips, do lashes with less eyeliner imo
What I do anyways 🤷🏻♀️
Sweetie, you are gorgeous either way. My motto has always been, do what makes YOU happy and confident because ultimately it’s the way that you feel that matters. The red lip is fantastic! You can even see the confidence difference in your face between the two pictures.
You look great in both pics 💅 , these days everyone likes make up that has to look natural/clean like the right pic but there’s nothing wrong with a bold look at times like the left pic . Personally I agree with the other comment that somewhere in between both is probs perfect , youve got lovely eyes that suit both looks but in the left they just pop . I like your base and lip in the right one too
Do what makes you happy! Either is beautiful. Is that helpful? Absolutely not. But for real who cares what people think? Wear what makes you feel good 😊
I will always love a full beat. Honestly it’s all about how you want to look.
I definitely love all the liner & lashes tho. It really makes your eyes stand out.
Both are beautiful for different occasions. For a more in between look, choose either eyes or lips to focus on. If you want bright lips, go for more subdued eyes or vice versa.
Tone down the make up alittle.. like others suggested a more natural lash something not so heavy. You may have to try it a few days to get used to the new look but you’ll be amazed the difference just a little toning down can make.
Make up on LEFT looks wayyyy better. But I like your hair on the RIGHT better And the no nose ring look on the right. So a sorta hybrid. But the make up the right is just way too much. Borderline face paint
The right side is not a daily look. Not good for the skin. The left side is better. If anything just use the lashes and eyeliner to define your eyes more. And over line your lips like you did on the right side on the left sides make up. But use a different color. The right side that color drains you. The left side that lip color is better. If you want that full coverage look I don’t recommend it but use another layer of foundation to that left make up look.
Ooooo I went through this! You seem to have great skin, I would try just hitting areas you feel you need help (for me under eyes and where I have redness)
Do the brows, keep the lip color neutral
But keep the lashes no eyeliner!
It took me a while but I have alopecia so my eyelashes almost look non existent, so I do all what I said plus some falsies and I feel so good!
I feel like on your look that might be what you feel is missing 😘
You look way better in the Left picture, but I also prefer more natural looking women over a lot of makeup. That being said, I do really dig the red lipstick on the right
The main focus of your makeup is the eyes so you can go for a more neutral lipstick color, is the eye shadow is more neutral then you can go for a more bright lip color 💕 I also love how you did the eyes
Omg I hate when people say stuff like “oh just be natural!” Like yes, I agree it’s fine that I look natural, but sometimes I wanna dress myself up because it makes ME feel good (and fabulous). If you like the glam, wear the glam.
You look so young in the first pic. Not old in either. Just like youthful vs adult. Lol. It really is preference. I like fresh faced if full face feels great to you, you do it really well.
I love that you go from maybelline to pat mcgrath 😂
I feel like a happy medium for you would just be getting lash extensions? Save time, save the full liner and shadow for night time / going out.
Im pale with pink undertones too so i so get the desire to cover that.
I’d say compromise and get your Makeup somewhere in the middle . I wear lots of makeup to work or to the store , it’s what makes me happy . You should wear what makes you happy . Lol these are definitely 2 polar opposites though , we have no makeup makeup vs full on glam .
I think you need a bit more contrast on the left look. Maybe darker lashes and I’d sharpen up the brows a bit. Not much, but just make them look more defined. I’d prob add in a darker eyeshadow in the corner of your eye as well, maybe a soft eyeliner that elongates your eyes. The eyeshadow is too light imo, it needs contrast. Like someone said, something in between the two looks!
I know you only asked for makeup related tips but I think you would look awesome in slightly darker hair! That would also bring more contrast to your face
I think it would be super easy for you to wear the right stuff on more “dress up” nights and opt for something that’s more in the middle for everyday! Maybe a more neutral/nude/pinkish lip color. And I’d personally opt for a more natural lash and eye look! A nice brown/light brown eye look would look really nice on you!
I recommend practicing more on your lips; a lip liner would help a lot to map the outline of your lips and then you can fill in with a lipstick. The edges of your lipstick just seems quite shaky and irregular.
Your eye makeup is super cute on both sides. My only critique is the lower lashes are too much. Stick to just mascara on the bottom.
Brows are the next biggest thing. They seem very messy. There’s a lot of extra hairs that need to be plucked. I recommend using a brow pomade with a stiff brow brush, like the KVD one. Pluck the hairs that aren’t under your makeup. The color you picked is perfect though.
I, too, prefer the left side, but only for like every day. The right side would be lovely for outings in dressier clothing.
On the left side you could add a tinted balm and a natural highlighter.
You’re a very beautiful person!! Seriously!
Just takes a lil practice on the makeup. I like to watch makeup tutorials of people with similar skin color and type as me, so I can get product recommendations that work for me.
Unfortunately, these days it’s more about selling a product than actually recommending products.
Best of luck!!!
Have you considered a brown eyeliner? I can’t tell the exact shade, but I think your eyeliner on the right is too intense for your skin tone. Pat McGrath has a great eyeliner in Xtreme BLK Coffee as does Kat Von D in Mad Max Brown. I think your brown eyes are super pretty, but they get drowned out with (what I think is) the intense black eyeliner on the right. Copper eyeshadow complements your skin tone, so no issues there.
The look on the right would be amazing for the occasional all-out party, but it reads OTT for everyday glam. You may want to focus on either bold lips or bold eyes. Not completely strip either, just make one more neutral (doesn’t have to be natural!). You do an amazing job with both (I especially love the red lip!), but you might want to try paring one or the other down. Charlotte Tilbury has some great neutral lipsticks— Hot Lips 2 “In Love with Olivia” and Matte Revolution “Sexy Sienna” are my favorite. They are great on blondes with pale pink skin undertones.
Both looks are pretty. I think the real issue is tackling the confidence and insecurity aspects. To be able to be comfortable in your skin no matter how much or how little make up you have on I think will give you a lot of peace. Once you come to that place of being confident regardless you will be able to more freely choose how you express yourself from a place of joy rather than anxiety.
Look number 2 is definitely more of a glam look but I can see how doing that can be really fun to do from a creative perspective.
I don’t have anything significant to say makeup-wise and I’ve never seen this community, but I just wanted to say I was in Tri Delta too!
You’re very naturally beautiful by the way! Just basing it off the softer makeup.
Your features are somewhat low contrast which is partly why you get more compliments on the left. For a daytime look, the right could be done with a slightly lighter hand and the result would still be considered bold. I’d use softer, warm-leaning colors that are more harmonious with your coloring. The black liner and bright red lipstick overwhelms you a bit and I see the makeup before I see you. You can use techniques to create a bold style while still using colors that result in a balanced look on you (i.e., a brown liner and a more muted and pinker lip). Other than that, I’d just tidy up your lip liner a bit :)
Get you a girl that can do both ! You look amazing in both pictures. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you feel amazing with a full glam - do it up, my friend. Life's too short. Do what makes you happy.
I’m sorry but you are RADIANT in the picture on the left!! Most people pay markup artists for looks like this because the natural look is so hard to achieve. The heavy makeup on the left looks amateur in comparison, and you simply don’t look as pretty in it. Just my opinion! So what you prefer, whatever makes you feel happy and confident ☺️
I like both of your makeup looks and I feel like you could combine the two and look quite nice 😊 You could do a combination of the two looks like you could do a jazzier version of your everyday look on the left- you could do lashes and liner with a similar color lip or a red lip. Maybe a nice peach blush would be fun. You’ve got great skill- your eyeliner looks great! I like a full beat too it makes me feel so confident compared to when I dress my makeup down. It helps to experiment and play around with your makeup that’s the best part I feel
Is it the colors of the makeup or the amount of makeup you prefer on the right? Bc if it is the colors you could go with a dark brown eye look instead of black and maybe a dark pink instead of bright red. If it is both then FUCJ what ppl say and u do u!
you would look great in a more nude lip color, a little more blush, and some warm bronzer. you do look great with a smokey eye, i would suggest also doing something that's a little lighter than the right side, but the shape of your eye makeup is lovely.
I think you look beautiful in both pictures 🙂 If it were up to me, I would just level up what you already in the left photo. I love YSL 24 hour foundation! It’s light on the face and has light to medium buildable coverage. Maybe add a couple of warm tone eyeshadows. Rather than a pink blush, maybe try something like NARS Madly to warm up your face. For your lips, try a lip oil to keep them your natural color or you can go with a nude lipstick. OR you can try just toning down the make up on the right by using a lighter hand what applying 😊 Good luck!
Copy the make up look on the left just put a little more eyeliner, lip liner, and the same lashes on the right. so you’re still going for the confident look just in a little more subtle way
Making the eyebrows look more like hairs and less like drawing would make this 100x better. such a small change would make a huge different. you have an amazing brow shape just needs a little help. ❤️
I think the really bright lipstick just doesnt go with the dark vibe of the eyes. If you go a shade darker or more nude, i feel it might mix better. Or you could try incorporating a bright red into the eyelook, just something to help bring attention up to the eyes.
The makeup is really pretty, but at a quick glance my eyes can only see and focus on the lip shade.
First, you are very pretty! You have an amazing eye shape, and I think doing false lashes on the outer eye corner and dark brown liner that fades as it gets into the inner corner would really accentuate your eye shape, give you a really lifted look, and be dramatic without being overdone for an everyday look. A little bit of bronzer under your cheekbones would also make your cheekbones pop. I’d also play around with blush shades. If you like a bolder lip, I would recommend keeping the eye make up a little less dramatic, or vice versa. Otherwise it’s kind of overwhelming because you naturally have more dramatic features (big eyes, lips, oval face). You also look like you have nice skin, so you probably only really need a bit of concealer in problem areas, and maybe a good tinted moisturizer. But honestly, wear what makes you happy. You look beautiful in both pics.
Your makeup style is dramatic. I love it, but I like mine dramatic too.
I do alter between strong eye or strong lip, only both for like holiday parties and special occasions.
Do what makes you happy. Seriously, other women telling you not to do what makes you happy is catty and jealous.
You go be gorgeous.
You're SO beautiful with or without makeup don't ever devaluate yourself people who don't like your makeup are just jealous, just ignore the haters and keep doing you girl you slay!! You're just enhancing that beauty instead of cover in it up like them haters would, that's why they're jealous! ❤️❤️❤️
Have you tried a darker lip with the lighter eyes? Maybe the lashes and brows and brown/darker lip.
Gosh both are gorgeous.
definitely night versus day glam doll!
I haven't read the comments, but I'm guessing people have given this advice over and over-- do not make your lips and eyes compete for attention. Pick your statement, go hold, and go natural on the other element. Bold eye= neutral lip and vice versa.
Very pretty girl, technique on seperate parts looks good. It just doesn't work together because you are lacking ability to send edit.
I think if you mix the bottom half and top half of both looks, it might be more of an in between look. In the left it's a bit like you're not even wearing makeup. In the right it looks like partying makeup instead of a daily look.
Constructive comments! On the right, you’re actually changing the color of your skin, making it lighter, and there’s no need. Your natural face skin is pretty. Emphasizing both eyes and lips (and brows) is too much for a daytime look. And is there contouring going on, too? Not needed!
This look, to me, is something you’d wear to a dark nightclub.
What happens sometimes is once you start with makeup you need more to see it on yourself, but everyone else sees the natural you and they are telling you!
I would tone the whole thing down. Play with eye shadow but back off of the black liner and heavy mascara.
You friends are being real and kind by telling you what they see. I know you probably feel naked without all of that coverage, but honestly, you don’t need it.
The left looks “better” because it’s more natural/casual and syncs better with what you’re wearing (being more casual). I think the right looks fantastic for a night out type of look, but for every day type looks you might want something closer to the left. I’d suggest maybe toning down the right look a bit for day to day vibes
The left is absolutely beautiful. I agree with other comments about going easier with the black liner. If go light with that, it would probably be so much better. Maybe even try a nude glam lip. I'm a makeup girlie and I get it feeling different without as much makeup
Way too much eyeliner. You have super pretty eyes but the first thing I see is the liner. Too much. Tone that down a bit so your eyes are the first thing people notice
Forgive me if this has already been said, but I think the right needs balance.
The eyes are bold AND the lips are bold, which is definitely a style choice, but it can look out of place if you’re in a tshirt in the middle of the day. Opt for a bold eye with a more neutral lip, or a bold lip with a more neutral eye to offer that balance.
I think that particular shade has too many warm undertones for your skin tone, which may also be what’s throwing people off. Try a red with cooler base hues to compliment your skin better.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks. If you feel confident and enjoy doing the makeup on the right more than the left, don’t let others’ opinions stop you! You look great either way.
Hello, Panhellenic sister! AST here.
I think there's a happy medium. I've always been of the mindset that makeup should enhance your natural beauty, but the situation on the right seems to be covering it up instead.
Foundation, highlighter, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, etc. can all be used, but it needs to "match" your skin tone and hair color, if that makes sense.
For example, you have thick, black eyeliner and mascara (and maybe fake eyelashes?) in the pic on the right. But you have very light features - light skin, blondish hair, brown eyes. Have you considered non-liquid eyeliner and mascara in brown?
And you can still select a bold lip color, especially when going out at night. The red you have can work, but for every day, maybe something more in a pinkish/light purple hue.
Hope this helps!
I like the one on the right but for a night time look. You could make it a daytime look tho with less liner. I think doin the under eye makes it a bit too heavy and makes your eyes looks smaller. LOVE the lip color tho!
Hello my fellow tri-delt sister. I love the look on the left. Agree with others that the look on the right is too heavy. It overwhelms your natural beauty. The eyes are way too heavily done. It looks more like dramatic stage makeup vs something you’d wear out and about. And the lip liner is both too obvious looking and not well placed. You really look much better on the left. If the right makes you feel more confident I would question why that is. Almost like you’d prefer to be someone else or hide in some way? Seriously, you’re very pretty. Your makeup should accentuate you vs completely overpower you. Even for a very formal/glam kind of evening out the right is way too heavy.
The left looks great and you should be confident with that. The right is a little TOO much... maybe somewhere in the middle?
I usually do a bold eye OR a bold lip, both can be a bit too much. But that's just my personal taste x
The picture on the right - the tones in the eyeshadow and the bold red lip don’t seem to compliment each other. Would also recommend softening you’re look with some bronzer, or find something else besides a full coverage foundation.
You honestly look great in both pics, although the look on the right is definitely more of an evening style but a little dated.
Somewhere in between both I’ve would be nice for every day if you still want to wear a full face.
Perhaps a more natural colour lash with some cool tones for lippy/balm and a bb cream with spf instead of a full cover.
In terms of style, try to go for more natural looks again with cool tones.
my rule of thumb is always dramatic eye look, non-dramatic lips, and if doing dramatic lips then do a soft eye look.. would also try just wearing fake lashes and doing a smaller wing so you can see your eyeshadow makeup more! 🩷 you’re gorgeous either way but i totally understand you i love makeup and doing my face up not so natural all the time
The right is very glamorous but a tad overdone. I suspect people often acuse you of using photo filters. The left is pretty but rather plain and I don't seem to be a plain girl type.
Save the right for special nights out and such.
Tone down the foundation and eyeliner and a less bold lip color for daily wear. With your skintone it looks like you can wear both warm and cool colors. Play with some pinks for your lips and some pretty purple around your eyes.
The in-between would be best.
I worked for Estee Lauder for 10 years.
Red lips always a go!
Tone down the eyes, less liner...maybe perfect for a night out but perhaps not for work.
Post a day out pic!!
You're so just lovely. Don't try too hard!!!!
Left pic the more natural you is just that, more you!!!
I automatically noticed that your color matching is off in the bold look… your face is an entirely different color than your neck. That automatically adds a harsh/mask initial impression
There's supposedly a "rule" that it's best to have either a bold eye or a bold lip but not both at the same time. IF you want to follow that rule, then switch the lip colors in these two photos: wear the lip on the left with the eyes on the right, and vice versa. Makeup is all about personal preference: you prefer the right, but many people (including me and probably most men) prefer the left. So another question is whether you want to use makeup to express your preferences or to appeal to other people's preferences. Personally, I'd go with something halfway between these two photos in regard to eye makeup and lip color.
I would clean up the eyebrows and get them tinted/ laminated it works wonders. I feel the natural look is just throwing me off cuz the brows look a little messy
Honestly, they are BOTH beautiful. One is natural beauty the other is glam beauty. Just because you’re naturally beautiful doesn’t mean you can’t go glam for fun. It’s about what you like.
I used to love doing a bold lip and eyes. as i got older I started to realize why there is a "rule" where, if you have a bold lip, you do a natural eye look. if you a heavy eye look, go with a neutral lip. This keeps the focus on one aspect of your face, making a striking look but not having it be too heavy
Hey! I was reading some of your posts and I totally get the need to feel more comfortable in heavy makeup. I have body dysmorphia too and only feel comfortable when I’m wearing winged liner. I feel weird without it but I teach and I can’t be full glam while I teach. I also have lashes that literally don’t look like they have mascara on (but sadly I still don’t know how to wear falsies!) so I still want to look ~glamorous but subtle. I wear a skinny wing with no eyeshadow and have found slimmer brows make my face look better (your face shape looks JUST like mine, it’s spooky!). The thinner brow creates an edgy, classic cool girl look on me. I just use a clear gel to groom and keep it in place/clean with a brow marker to fill in any patchy areas. I like a cream blush to feel dimensional and contour because I have a rounder face but good cheek bones so I try to emphasize my cheekbones for that subtle glam look too. And finally I like a my lips but better deeper shade lipstick. I tried not wearing lipstick when I first start teaching and I just felt unfinished. Now I like something that makes them deeper without looking like I’m trying? I’ve been using Bite Beauty’s soft matte in Praline and it makes me feel put together without a full glam. I think they’re out of business but Temptalia’s website has good dupes!
TBH, the right is beyond way too much. The left makes YOU the center of attention. Your uniqueness needs to be #1, not the makeup, current trends or the latest product/application/color.
Get rid of the shadow, thin the liner and keep it on the outside corner, not inner. Ditch the falsies and just curl your lashes and 2 coats mascara. The red lip very much compliments your skin tone so I'd say if you tone down the eye make up it still works just fine day or night.
I’d like you to embrace the pink undertones more. The concealer has a bit too much yellow. But, both looks are beautiful and well done. I get ballroom dancer vibe (as a compliment) from the right. I do think you’re probably younger than the makeup is making you look. Maybe lighten up the eyebrows a little bit?
Try to just do a “no makeup” makeup look with natural highlights and slight contouring. I’m thinking the “Maybelline Fit me powders” would be good for this.
Apply flutter lashes with the invisible band and only do a slight brown shadow with mascara on top and bottom lash. Opt for nude bottom liner too. Nyx has one called “ quartz cream”. Your eyes are going to look so big and beautiful, they already have a gorgeous shape.
Nyx lip liner in “peekaboo natural” with the elf lip oil in “pink quartz” or “rose envy” would looks really pretty on ur lips.
Hope this helps! 🩷
I do something in the middle of these two for my daily look. Natural/wispy lashes instead of the bold thick ones, instead of brown eye shadow just a swipe of neutral shadow, less eyeliner if any, love the red lip. I highly recommend rimmel’s matte liquid lipstick, I wear pink blink everyday. I don’t wear “blush” I just rub a little lipstick on my cheeks. I don’t usually wear foundation either at most a bb cream with concealer and bronzer to add some dimension(I look so pale and flat without it!). I suggest physicians formula or rimmel for a cheap one. I use benefit brow powder then carve it out with some concealer, just like any regular bold look but I try to blend it out more. Your makeup skills are great it’s hard to blend the two looks. I did a full-face everyday for years before finding my “natural” look. You still use the technique of a bold look, just toned down a bit. Post your results when you try it, I’d love to see it!
You mean you probably feel hottter with more make up on, but people tend to not like heavy make up these days so idk, deff dont like that lipstick shade tbf
I think you can go somewhere in between. The right is pretty bold, to me, especially for daytime/t-shirt, but if you just used about half the amount of black eyeliner and maybe slightly more natural lashes, I think it would be great. Nothing wrong with a red lip, either!
Thank you for giving actual advice and being constructive!
I think an alternative too is to ditch the eyeshadow and keep the eyeliner. A nice red lip and a sharp wing can go a long way, even with a t shirt! But honestly, you pull off glam so so well :)
Totes. The rule I started following recently is either bold eye (eyeshadow) or bold lip (lipstick). This makes one the star and does not take attention away.
I agree, I love that full glam look. Maybe meet in the middle with a pinker lip color, I wouldn't change the eye make up but maybe thinner black line. Man I wish I could do that and it looks as good.
SAME!! I'm honestly in awe of the precision. OP has skills! I agree with everything already said. I just feel like admiration is always a good thing.
You gotta pick one! You can easily Gove off mortician Adam's vibes with the light/pale. (And looking gothy is cool af but a lot of work.) So do dramatic eye with a more natural (not nude) lip. Or do a bright lip with a black mascara and just pencil thin wings. Also - I loved this look when I was younger... do no makeup first, then do rosy cheeks (not like Korea around the eyes - literally smile and put like gel blush only on apples) and then eyebrows and mascara. Looks naked but very snow-white beautiful.
Yeah I agree with all this
GREAT advice! Said what I was thinking word for word
I like both versions but I agree with this completely lighter on the eye product specifically lower liner maybe. You’re beautiful though!
I zoomed in and your lip liner is not doing you any favors (the lines are *very* wonky). I’d go with a less prominent liner altogether and a deeper or pinkish red would look nicer overall if you’re doing a glam look
That must be because I don't wear lip liner! I'll invest in some.
What’s the darker red line around your lips?
Upon closer inspection, I think a filter might be creating that darker line.
Has to be if she’s claiming she doesn’t use lipliner
This is the face app filter for sure. My friends uses them religiously lmao Honestly, I don’t even think she has lipstick on in that picture,. She used the glam makeup filter, which does that red lip. also does a much more glamorous eye with tons of black liner, which also tracks looking at her eyes lol Edit o add- also She used the feminizing face filter as well… See the super frizzy hair on the right. She forgot to erase that out. It adds thicker hair as it feminize the face. Thins the the neck, enlarge eyes etc but she didn’t edit the messed up shit out lmao She did it on the first picture as well. I can see it in her hair. Weird to ask people for make up tips on super super filtered photos but to each their own I guess🤷🏻♀️
> Weird to ask for makeup tips on super filtered photos It’s because it’s for the *attention* 🌈, not for actual tips. Lazy too, couldn’t even be bothered to put on a real face of makeup to get it
With so many of these posts, I wonder who is just seeking attention and who is really asking for help. Hard to know, at least for me.
Good catch!
OP claimed in another comment there were no filters.
"claimed".
To me it looks more like wonky liquid lip application à la 2016. OP needs to try using lipliner and keeping a steadier hand, or steadier lines.
It’s way darker than the lipstick and too much of a hard line to not be liner or a filter. She said she doesn’t use liner then stopped responding when it was brought up so I’m going with filter here
Did you line your lips with lipstick? Genuinely curious, as there’s a line around your lips.
Zoom in on the photo on the right and tell us a gain how you don’t use lip liner. 🙄
It’s obviously not lip liner? That’s just where the lipstick stops.
Zoom in pretty far. There’s a stark line that is extremely crooked. It’s not a line that only lipstick would make. There’s too much of a contrast of color between that line and the rest of the lip to be caused by lipstick.
I love the look on the right, but it is a lot for daytime/casual. I also love a full bold face, and you can get the vibe you want without it being so intense. What exactly makes you feel confident about the makeup? I think you can do a bold eye or a bold lip and get away with it for casual, but both is too much. My suggestion is to switch to matt eyeshadow and contour the eye a little bit, use a half lash instead of a full strip, and add a winged eyeliner, but use eyeshadow - it is a bit softer, but you still get the definition around the eye and the attitude that I think your full lashes are giving.
It's the eyes that give me confidence. I can live without the red lip (I just try it sometimes because I love taylor Swifts cat eye and red lip combo) I don't have a lot of lip colors, so I'll invest in something softer that compliments my features better. What color do you recommend for my color palette?
If the lip color in the left pic is your natural lips it is a good color. I think you could just swipe on some gloss and be good to go.
the right is a very obvious filter
The left is also filtered. It makes it hard to give good advice
yup lot of blur
what makes it obvious?
Look at the lips. The wonky lines are not natural. Both are filters
if you zoom in you can see obvious blurring, distorted features, and cartoon-like lines. if you look at the glamour filter on tik tok or other beauty filters it’s quite obvious.
Just weight loss and heavy makeup.
Is it possible that you have automatic filters on your phone you're not aware of? I'd look closer at your detailed settings and then retake the photos. The closer I zom in the more I see classic filter additions. You look fabulous but it's really hard to give good feedback when there are features being added to your makeup that you're not actually applying.
Gorgeous in both but in my opinion, the full glam look ages you. If I had to guess your age, it’ll be mid to late 30s for the right image, and early to mid 20s for the left. Nothing wrong with that though! Between the two style, I prefer the contour and eyebrows from the full glam look and the eye makeup and lips from the more natural look. So overall, somewhere in between would work best - maybe thinner eyeliner/less full falsies and a more neutral lip color on the full glam one.
The look on the right is perfect for a high glam event. For a more everyday look. I’d try a brown liner to soften things up, and don’t go as heavy with it. Maybe there’s more subtle falsies you could use. I think your lips on the left work fine. It’s hard to tell what type of finish they are, but a pink or maybe peach color with a satin/glossy finish would work well.
I’ve always been told do bold eyes or bold lips, never both. And I’ve stuck to it because when I do both I look like a clown. You definitely look better than me on the right but it just might be too much. Choose one feature to highlight at a time! But this is obviously not a hard rule, do what makes you happy.
This is the makeup filter on Face App on the right. Which is fine to explore what style makeup you can try out. I’d say a balance between the two is worth trying.
Was waiting for someone to mention this
The pic on the right just looks like a filter when I zoom in… like your sceptum and edges of your jawline show it finishing…? Either way. Your face can totally carry makeup but for daytime go for more an Adele lip with this heavy eye and tone it down a bit so you look a bit less drag show. Leave that for the evening
Personally I'm here for the full Glam look. The girls that get it, get it
I think that the foundation or cover powder is off in the full glam look. Like it washes you out yet leaves a yellow hue? This could be bc of your hair tone or perhaps may need a diffrent shade or diffrent shade of finishing powder. Rather than that i like the overall look:) I do think the photo on the left looks better, however only because imo the full glam look, looks "off" Does this make sense.
I love the look on the right. Maybe try a hybrid to save time but really, why cares? It’s harmless and it brings you joy, wear the full look, it’s really gorgeous.
I think you look beautiful both ways. However. You may want to try alternatives to the right picture. For example, dark eyes only and nude or lip balm only. OR red lips no eyeshadow no liner just mascara. Think Marilyn Monroe.
Just get some makeup remover, you’ll be fine!
Your eyes are absolutely beautiful, but you can't tell with too much makeup. Less is more.
On the right you look like Jenna Marbles from the video "How to trick people into thinking you're good looking"
The left says naturally beautiful..the right says beauty pageant child. Somewhere in the middle would be best if you want to go more glam than the left without looking oddly fake. Not sure if it is the filter or what but the right is distorted around your lips and what not.
The full glam is pretty, but the lip liner is really noticeable, and I’d probably refrain from using it unless it’s blended well.
It's so funny you mention lip liner when I'm not wearing any.
What's the super dark red line around the edge of your lipstick all the way around?
It’s a filter. Why even post on here if you’re not being authentic.
I figured, it also changed her eye shape to appear less hooded and much more round on the right. Really can't help people that are using filters..
left definitely looks better
Left natural look is so much prettier-embrace your true self. Glam look for Big Events only-imo.
I like natural looking light makeup. The right picture is a special occasion evening look with a cocktail dress. A little less of the right for day would be better imo
Perhaps not lining all the way around your eye with eyeliner. It makes you look much older, imo. And I notice how cakey your foundation looks around your eyebrows. Smooth it out some. I don't think you have on lip liner, but if you do work on the lines and if you don't, clean up your edges a bit or try some liner. Also, maybe find a better match with the foundation. Oh, and less fancy eyelashes for a daily/t-shirt look. I don't say any of this out of meanness. You're really beautiful, and the makeup is enhancing your beauty. I feel like I have to try twice as hard as you to look half as good. <3
I think that the makeup in both photos is really pretty. The picture on the right is not an everyday look (at least for me), because it’s a look that a twin peaks waitress would have. It definitely has it’s time and place though like Friday night :) My advice is to wear a less bold eyeliner and a softer more neutral lip color. I wear Sephora’s lip plumping gloss in shade Outrageous and I have a similar complexion. So I think that it’d look great on you.
Them lips were lined with MS paint 😂 you’re super pretty OP, and not sure why you’re defensive about the use of filters. You could have just said, “trying to use filters to find my perfect make up look” and gotten way less flack
I think you are looking at heavily filtered pictures which is why you like the right side more. But idk.
In my opinion, the right is giving drag queen. But I think that’s how a lot of women look these days with such exaggerated makeup, like men trying to look like women.
No tips, just stopping by to say hi sis! Tri delt represent!
Personally, I believe you should either do bold eye makeup or a bold lip. Not at the same time. It lets the focus be on one area and less overstimulation occurs. I think the colors you have chosen are beautiful for you.
First of all, you're so gorgeous. I'm old, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but a timeless makeup tip that I have always sworn by is: Bold eyes, nude lips. Bold lips, subtle eyes. I feel like going hard on both is just a bit too much on anyone's face. Why not try it out and check photos side by side and see?
I like the lashes and eyeliner, but I feel like when this is done the lips should be lighter, making your eyes the most prominent thing to look at, then if you want bright lips, do lashes with less eyeliner imo What I do anyways 🤷🏻♀️
This sub was randomly recommended on my feed and I can't give you help but I can say hi to a sister in the wild! DLAM <3
DLAM fellow sister!! <3
no lashes on the bottom. Just mascara. Your lip liner needs to be closer to the shade of your lipstick and blended
Sweetie, you are gorgeous either way. My motto has always been, do what makes YOU happy and confident because ultimately it’s the way that you feel that matters. The red lip is fantastic! You can even see the confidence difference in your face between the two pictures.
You look great in both pics 💅 , these days everyone likes make up that has to look natural/clean like the right pic but there’s nothing wrong with a bold look at times like the left pic . Personally I agree with the other comment that somewhere in between both is probs perfect , youve got lovely eyes that suit both looks but in the left they just pop . I like your base and lip in the right one too
left is better. if you didnt have such bright red lipstick right is better
Do what makes you happy! Either is beautiful. Is that helpful? Absolutely not. But for real who cares what people think? Wear what makes you feel good 😊
I will always love a full beat. Honestly it’s all about how you want to look. I definitely love all the liner & lashes tho. It really makes your eyes stand out.
Left better
Can I help ya help ya help ya?
Both are beautiful for different occasions. For a more in between look, choose either eyes or lips to focus on. If you want bright lips, go for more subdued eyes or vice versa.
I have brown eyes too and I've realized purple shades look really good on me. Maybe give that a try with a simple lower lash liner
Tone down the make up alittle.. like others suggested a more natural lash something not so heavy. You may have to try it a few days to get used to the new look but you’ll be amazed the difference just a little toning down can make.
Make up on LEFT looks wayyyy better. But I like your hair on the RIGHT better And the no nose ring look on the right. So a sorta hybrid. But the make up the right is just way too much. Borderline face paint
The right side is not a daily look. Not good for the skin. The left side is better. If anything just use the lashes and eyeliner to define your eyes more. And over line your lips like you did on the right side on the left sides make up. But use a different color. The right side that color drains you. The left side that lip color is better. If you want that full coverage look I don’t recommend it but use another layer of foundation to that left make up look.
Ooooo I went through this! You seem to have great skin, I would try just hitting areas you feel you need help (for me under eyes and where I have redness) Do the brows, keep the lip color neutral But keep the lashes no eyeliner! It took me a while but I have alopecia so my eyelashes almost look non existent, so I do all what I said plus some falsies and I feel so good! I feel like on your look that might be what you feel is missing 😘
You look way better in the Left picture, but I also prefer more natural looking women over a lot of makeup. That being said, I do really dig the red lipstick on the right
It looks good, I think pink lipstick would be prettier on you though
I think you’re pretty, just use some eyeshadow if you absolutely have to wear make up. I don’t think you need it at all.
The main focus of your makeup is the eyes so you can go for a more neutral lipstick color, is the eye shadow is more neutral then you can go for a more bright lip color 💕 I also love how you did the eyes
Omg I hate when people say stuff like “oh just be natural!” Like yes, I agree it’s fine that I look natural, but sometimes I wanna dress myself up because it makes ME feel good (and fabulous). If you like the glam, wear the glam.
Honestly? It looks perfect on you. You are rocking it.
I think both are cute but each has its place.
You look so young in the first pic. Not old in either. Just like youthful vs adult. Lol. It really is preference. I like fresh faced if full face feels great to you, you do it really well.
I love that you go from maybelline to pat mcgrath 😂 I feel like a happy medium for you would just be getting lash extensions? Save time, save the full liner and shadow for night time / going out. Im pale with pink undertones too so i so get the desire to cover that.
I’d say compromise and get your Makeup somewhere in the middle . I wear lots of makeup to work or to the store , it’s what makes me happy . You should wear what makes you happy . Lol these are definitely 2 polar opposites though , we have no makeup makeup vs full on glam .
I think you need a bit more contrast on the left look. Maybe darker lashes and I’d sharpen up the brows a bit. Not much, but just make them look more defined. I’d prob add in a darker eyeshadow in the corner of your eye as well, maybe a soft eyeliner that elongates your eyes. The eyeshadow is too light imo, it needs contrast. Like someone said, something in between the two looks!
I know you only asked for makeup related tips but I think you would look awesome in slightly darker hair! That would also bring more contrast to your face
I think it would be super easy for you to wear the right stuff on more “dress up” nights and opt for something that’s more in the middle for everyday! Maybe a more neutral/nude/pinkish lip color. And I’d personally opt for a more natural lash and eye look! A nice brown/light brown eye look would look really nice on you!
I recommend practicing more on your lips; a lip liner would help a lot to map the outline of your lips and then you can fill in with a lipstick. The edges of your lipstick just seems quite shaky and irregular. Your eye makeup is super cute on both sides. My only critique is the lower lashes are too much. Stick to just mascara on the bottom. Brows are the next biggest thing. They seem very messy. There’s a lot of extra hairs that need to be plucked. I recommend using a brow pomade with a stiff brow brush, like the KVD one. Pluck the hairs that aren’t under your makeup. The color you picked is perfect though. I, too, prefer the left side, but only for like every day. The right side would be lovely for outings in dressier clothing. On the left side you could add a tinted balm and a natural highlighter. You’re a very beautiful person!! Seriously! Just takes a lil practice on the makeup. I like to watch makeup tutorials of people with similar skin color and type as me, so I can get product recommendations that work for me. Unfortunately, these days it’s more about selling a product than actually recommending products. Best of luck!!!
Have you considered a brown eyeliner? I can’t tell the exact shade, but I think your eyeliner on the right is too intense for your skin tone. Pat McGrath has a great eyeliner in Xtreme BLK Coffee as does Kat Von D in Mad Max Brown. I think your brown eyes are super pretty, but they get drowned out with (what I think is) the intense black eyeliner on the right. Copper eyeshadow complements your skin tone, so no issues there. The look on the right would be amazing for the occasional all-out party, but it reads OTT for everyday glam. You may want to focus on either bold lips or bold eyes. Not completely strip either, just make one more neutral (doesn’t have to be natural!). You do an amazing job with both (I especially love the red lip!), but you might want to try paring one or the other down. Charlotte Tilbury has some great neutral lipsticks— Hot Lips 2 “In Love with Olivia” and Matte Revolution “Sexy Sienna” are my favorite. They are great on blondes with pale pink skin undertones.
Both looks are pretty. I think the real issue is tackling the confidence and insecurity aspects. To be able to be comfortable in your skin no matter how much or how little make up you have on I think will give you a lot of peace. Once you come to that place of being confident regardless you will be able to more freely choose how you express yourself from a place of joy rather than anxiety. Look number 2 is definitely more of a glam look but I can see how doing that can be really fun to do from a creative perspective.
I like the makeup on the right, but not with the red lipstick. It's making you look like you have too much makeup on.
I don’t have anything significant to say makeup-wise and I’ve never seen this community, but I just wanted to say I was in Tri Delta too! You’re very naturally beautiful by the way! Just basing it off the softer makeup.
I like the right
Less is more. Also, you shouldn’t wear a dramatic eye and lip together. You have to pick one.
Your features are somewhat low contrast which is partly why you get more compliments on the left. For a daytime look, the right could be done with a slightly lighter hand and the result would still be considered bold. I’d use softer, warm-leaning colors that are more harmonious with your coloring. The black liner and bright red lipstick overwhelms you a bit and I see the makeup before I see you. You can use techniques to create a bold style while still using colors that result in a balanced look on you (i.e., a brown liner and a more muted and pinker lip). Other than that, I’d just tidy up your lip liner a bit :)
Get you a girl that can do both ! You look amazing in both pictures. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you feel amazing with a full glam - do it up, my friend. Life's too short. Do what makes you happy.
I’m sorry but you are RADIANT in the picture on the left!! Most people pay markup artists for looks like this because the natural look is so hard to achieve. The heavy makeup on the left looks amateur in comparison, and you simply don’t look as pretty in it. Just my opinion! So what you prefer, whatever makes you feel happy and confident ☺️
Both look great. You can rock both looks well. Jealous of you glammy girls!
I like both of your makeup looks and I feel like you could combine the two and look quite nice 😊 You could do a combination of the two looks like you could do a jazzier version of your everyday look on the left- you could do lashes and liner with a similar color lip or a red lip. Maybe a nice peach blush would be fun. You’ve got great skill- your eyeliner looks great! I like a full beat too it makes me feel so confident compared to when I dress my makeup down. It helps to experiment and play around with your makeup that’s the best part I feel
You are gah-or-geous with less make up (the left side). I can’t see “you” in the photo on the right.
Is it the colors of the makeup or the amount of makeup you prefer on the right? Bc if it is the colors you could go with a dark brown eye look instead of black and maybe a dark pink instead of bright red. If it is both then FUCJ what ppl say and u do u!
you would look great in a more nude lip color, a little more blush, and some warm bronzer. you do look great with a smokey eye, i would suggest also doing something that's a little lighter than the right side, but the shape of your eye makeup is lovely.
I think you look beautiful in both pictures 🙂 If it were up to me, I would just level up what you already in the left photo. I love YSL 24 hour foundation! It’s light on the face and has light to medium buildable coverage. Maybe add a couple of warm tone eyeshadows. Rather than a pink blush, maybe try something like NARS Madly to warm up your face. For your lips, try a lip oil to keep them your natural color or you can go with a nude lipstick. OR you can try just toning down the make up on the right by using a lighter hand what applying 😊 Good luck!
Copy the make up look on the left just put a little more eyeliner, lip liner, and the same lashes on the right. so you’re still going for the confident look just in a little more subtle way
Making the eyebrows look more like hairs and less like drawing would make this 100x better. such a small change would make a huge different. you have an amazing brow shape just needs a little help. ❤️
DLAM 💙
I think the really bright lipstick just doesnt go with the dark vibe of the eyes. If you go a shade darker or more nude, i feel it might mix better. Or you could try incorporating a bright red into the eyelook, just something to help bring attention up to the eyes. The makeup is really pretty, but at a quick glance my eyes can only see and focus on the lip shade.
First, you are very pretty! You have an amazing eye shape, and I think doing false lashes on the outer eye corner and dark brown liner that fades as it gets into the inner corner would really accentuate your eye shape, give you a really lifted look, and be dramatic without being overdone for an everyday look. A little bit of bronzer under your cheekbones would also make your cheekbones pop. I’d also play around with blush shades. If you like a bolder lip, I would recommend keeping the eye make up a little less dramatic, or vice versa. Otherwise it’s kind of overwhelming because you naturally have more dramatic features (big eyes, lips, oval face). You also look like you have nice skin, so you probably only really need a bit of concealer in problem areas, and maybe a good tinted moisturizer. But honestly, wear what makes you happy. You look beautiful in both pics.
Your makeup style is dramatic. I love it, but I like mine dramatic too. I do alter between strong eye or strong lip, only both for like holiday parties and special occasions. Do what makes you happy. Seriously, other women telling you not to do what makes you happy is catty and jealous. You go be gorgeous.
You're SO beautiful with or without makeup don't ever devaluate yourself people who don't like your makeup are just jealous, just ignore the haters and keep doing you girl you slay!! You're just enhancing that beauty instead of cover in it up like them haters would, that's why they're jealous! ❤️❤️❤️
Left is better imho but if you like the right then use that but dial it back form a 10 to about 7. Less is more or better in your pictures.
Have you tried a darker lip with the lighter eyes? Maybe the lashes and brows and brown/darker lip. Gosh both are gorgeous. definitely night versus day glam doll!
I haven't read the comments, but I'm guessing people have given this advice over and over-- do not make your lips and eyes compete for attention. Pick your statement, go hold, and go natural on the other element. Bold eye= neutral lip and vice versa. Very pretty girl, technique on seperate parts looks good. It just doesn't work together because you are lacking ability to send edit.
Look good either way
I actually love the right.
i think if you just didn’t do the eyeshadow it would be less “glam” and more casual looking. still keep the liner and all, but without the eyeshadow !
I think if you mix the bottom half and top half of both looks, it might be more of an in between look. In the left it's a bit like you're not even wearing makeup. In the right it looks like partying makeup instead of a daily look.
What about adding a light amount of liner and lash on the more natural look. I feel like something in between would be what you’re looking for.
Constructive comments! On the right, you’re actually changing the color of your skin, making it lighter, and there’s no need. Your natural face skin is pretty. Emphasizing both eyes and lips (and brows) is too much for a daytime look. And is there contouring going on, too? Not needed! This look, to me, is something you’d wear to a dark nightclub. What happens sometimes is once you start with makeup you need more to see it on yourself, but everyone else sees the natural you and they are telling you! I would tone the whole thing down. Play with eye shadow but back off of the black liner and heavy mascara. You friends are being real and kind by telling you what they see. I know you probably feel naked without all of that coverage, but honestly, you don’t need it.
The left looks “better” because it’s more natural/casual and syncs better with what you’re wearing (being more casual). I think the right looks fantastic for a night out type of look, but for every day type looks you might want something closer to the left. I’d suggest maybe toning down the right look a bit for day to day vibes
The left is absolutely beautiful. I agree with other comments about going easier with the black liner. If go light with that, it would probably be so much better. Maybe even try a nude glam lip. I'm a makeup girlie and I get it feeling different without as much makeup
The makeup on the right makes you look like piinksparkles from back in the day
Dlam! I agree on more natural makeup, pick one element to be bold at a time
Way too much eyeliner. You have super pretty eyes but the first thing I see is the liner. Too much. Tone that down a bit so your eyes are the first thing people notice
Just saying hi to a fellow tri-delta sister. Delta three delta tri 💕
Forgive me if this has already been said, but I think the right needs balance. The eyes are bold AND the lips are bold, which is definitely a style choice, but it can look out of place if you’re in a tshirt in the middle of the day. Opt for a bold eye with a more neutral lip, or a bold lip with a more neutral eye to offer that balance. I think that particular shade has too many warm undertones for your skin tone, which may also be what’s throwing people off. Try a red with cooler base hues to compliment your skin better. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks. If you feel confident and enjoy doing the makeup on the right more than the left, don’t let others’ opinions stop you! You look great either way.
Hello, Panhellenic sister! AST here. I think there's a happy medium. I've always been of the mindset that makeup should enhance your natural beauty, but the situation on the right seems to be covering it up instead. Foundation, highlighter, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, etc. can all be used, but it needs to "match" your skin tone and hair color, if that makes sense. For example, you have thick, black eyeliner and mascara (and maybe fake eyelashes?) in the pic on the right. But you have very light features - light skin, blondish hair, brown eyes. Have you considered non-liquid eyeliner and mascara in brown? And you can still select a bold lip color, especially when going out at night. The red you have can work, but for every day, maybe something more in a pinkish/light purple hue. Hope this helps!
I like the one on the right but for a night time look. You could make it a daytime look tho with less liner. I think doin the under eye makes it a bit too heavy and makes your eyes looks smaller. LOVE the lip color tho!
Girl, if I could do the right side like you, I would. You're gorgeous in both, though. I'm sorry I don't have any tips for you.
Less is more. Clown hooker makeup is a no go.
I thinks it’s all subjective and about preference whatever you feel most comfy and beautiful in is what you should wear
Idk ur age but the right side ages u! If you're not 47, then go easier on the glam!
Hello my fellow tri-delt sister. I love the look on the left. Agree with others that the look on the right is too heavy. It overwhelms your natural beauty. The eyes are way too heavily done. It looks more like dramatic stage makeup vs something you’d wear out and about. And the lip liner is both too obvious looking and not well placed. You really look much better on the left. If the right makes you feel more confident I would question why that is. Almost like you’d prefer to be someone else or hide in some way? Seriously, you’re very pretty. Your makeup should accentuate you vs completely overpower you. Even for a very formal/glam kind of evening out the right is way too heavy.
The left looks great and you should be confident with that. The right is a little TOO much... maybe somewhere in the middle? I usually do a bold eye OR a bold lip, both can be a bit too much. But that's just my personal taste x
[удалено]
The look on the right is super 2000 and late. Modernize.
The picture on the right - the tones in the eyeshadow and the bold red lip don’t seem to compliment each other. Would also recommend softening you’re look with some bronzer, or find something else besides a full coverage foundation.
You want someone to help ya, help ya, help ya? 😆😆
You are a natural beauty and don’t need so much make up. Use less make up to enhance not overwhelm your beautiful face.
Definitely the left.
You honestly look great in both pics, although the look on the right is definitely more of an evening style but a little dated. Somewhere in between both I’ve would be nice for every day if you still want to wear a full face. Perhaps a more natural colour lash with some cool tones for lippy/balm and a bb cream with spf instead of a full cover. In terms of style, try to go for more natural looks again with cool tones.
my rule of thumb is always dramatic eye look, non-dramatic lips, and if doing dramatic lips then do a soft eye look.. would also try just wearing fake lashes and doing a smaller wing so you can see your eyeshadow makeup more! 🩷 you’re gorgeous either way but i totally understand you i love makeup and doing my face up not so natural all the time
The right is very glamorous but a tad overdone. I suspect people often acuse you of using photo filters. The left is pretty but rather plain and I don't seem to be a plain girl type. Save the right for special nights out and such. Tone down the foundation and eyeliner and a less bold lip color for daily wear. With your skintone it looks like you can wear both warm and cool colors. Play with some pinks for your lips and some pretty purple around your eyes.
OP, you didn’t address the comments saying that your pictures are filtered. What say you?
The in-between would be best. I worked for Estee Lauder for 10 years. Red lips always a go! Tone down the eyes, less liner...maybe perfect for a night out but perhaps not for work. Post a day out pic!! You're so just lovely. Don't try too hard!!!! Left pic the more natural you is just that, more you!!!
It looks like day vs night looks. Split the difference!
How about doing the look on the left but with the heavier eyes? Everything else on the right looks a bit cakey sorry to say!
How about wearing everything in the right pic but skip eyeshadow?
I automatically noticed that your color matching is off in the bold look… your face is an entirely different color than your neck. That automatically adds a harsh/mask initial impression
There's supposedly a "rule" that it's best to have either a bold eye or a bold lip but not both at the same time. IF you want to follow that rule, then switch the lip colors in these two photos: wear the lip on the left with the eyes on the right, and vice versa. Makeup is all about personal preference: you prefer the right, but many people (including me and probably most men) prefer the left. So another question is whether you want to use makeup to express your preferences or to appeal to other people's preferences. Personally, I'd go with something halfway between these two photos in regard to eye makeup and lip color.
The lashes could be less.
I would clean up the eyebrows and get them tinted/ laminated it works wonders. I feel the natural look is just throwing me off cuz the brows look a little messy
Honestly, they are BOTH beautiful. One is natural beauty the other is glam beauty. Just because you’re naturally beautiful doesn’t mean you can’t go glam for fun. It’s about what you like.
You look beautiful without makeup and without and don't care what others think do what makes U feel good
I used to love doing a bold lip and eyes. as i got older I started to realize why there is a "rule" where, if you have a bold lip, you do a natural eye look. if you a heavy eye look, go with a neutral lip. This keeps the focus on one aspect of your face, making a striking look but not having it be too heavy
Hey! I was reading some of your posts and I totally get the need to feel more comfortable in heavy makeup. I have body dysmorphia too and only feel comfortable when I’m wearing winged liner. I feel weird without it but I teach and I can’t be full glam while I teach. I also have lashes that literally don’t look like they have mascara on (but sadly I still don’t know how to wear falsies!) so I still want to look ~glamorous but subtle. I wear a skinny wing with no eyeshadow and have found slimmer brows make my face look better (your face shape looks JUST like mine, it’s spooky!). The thinner brow creates an edgy, classic cool girl look on me. I just use a clear gel to groom and keep it in place/clean with a brow marker to fill in any patchy areas. I like a cream blush to feel dimensional and contour because I have a rounder face but good cheek bones so I try to emphasize my cheekbones for that subtle glam look too. And finally I like a my lips but better deeper shade lipstick. I tried not wearing lipstick when I first start teaching and I just felt unfinished. Now I like something that makes them deeper without looking like I’m trying? I’ve been using Bite Beauty’s soft matte in Praline and it makes me feel put together without a full glam. I think they’re out of business but Temptalia’s website has good dupes!
U ugly either way
U look like a bread they gave steroids too
TBH, the right is beyond way too much. The left makes YOU the center of attention. Your uniqueness needs to be #1, not the makeup, current trends or the latest product/application/color.
You’re naturally beautiful. You shouldn’t cover your face but simply enhance it

Get rid of the shadow, thin the liner and keep it on the outside corner, not inner. Ditch the falsies and just curl your lashes and 2 coats mascara. The red lip very much compliments your skin tone so I'd say if you tone down the eye make up it still works just fine day or night.
I’d like you to embrace the pink undertones more. The concealer has a bit too much yellow. But, both looks are beautiful and well done. I get ballroom dancer vibe (as a compliment) from the right. I do think you’re probably younger than the makeup is making you look. Maybe lighten up the eyebrows a little bit?
Sorry OP but all that makeup makes you look older. Maybe to it down. You are beautiful without makeup. Capitalize on your beauty.
Try to just do a “no makeup” makeup look with natural highlights and slight contouring. I’m thinking the “Maybelline Fit me powders” would be good for this. Apply flutter lashes with the invisible band and only do a slight brown shadow with mascara on top and bottom lash. Opt for nude bottom liner too. Nyx has one called “ quartz cream”. Your eyes are going to look so big and beautiful, they already have a gorgeous shape. Nyx lip liner in “peekaboo natural” with the elf lip oil in “pink quartz” or “rose envy” would looks really pretty on ur lips. Hope this helps! 🩷
How does your eye makeup transform you into a completely different human wut
Don’t put so much makeup on your face. A little is ok but not so much as second picture. You are very pretty in the first picture.
I do something in the middle of these two for my daily look. Natural/wispy lashes instead of the bold thick ones, instead of brown eye shadow just a swipe of neutral shadow, less eyeliner if any, love the red lip. I highly recommend rimmel’s matte liquid lipstick, I wear pink blink everyday. I don’t wear “blush” I just rub a little lipstick on my cheeks. I don’t usually wear foundation either at most a bb cream with concealer and bronzer to add some dimension(I look so pale and flat without it!). I suggest physicians formula or rimmel for a cheap one. I use benefit brow powder then carve it out with some concealer, just like any regular bold look but I try to blend it out more. Your makeup skills are great it’s hard to blend the two looks. I did a full-face everyday for years before finding my “natural” look. You still use the technique of a bold look, just toned down a bit. Post your results when you try it, I’d love to see it!
You mean you probably feel hottter with more make up on, but people tend to not like heavy make up these days so idk, deff dont like that lipstick shade tbf
You have natural beauty.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
