HELP PLEASE (I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING)

no idea what i'm going for on the lips. what level of blush looks good? etc, etc. i'm at the 'makeup stage, but i rushed it and now the upper lip and nose are really discolored. the nose chipped, and my airbush keep clogging. i thought this was an okay result (it's not, i'm going to have to fix it)

so this went really wrong, as the sealeent started pooling. i really don't like what i did with the lips, and i'm confused how i'm supporsted to keep this thing from scratching/chipping with how fragile this is. the sealent seems like someting the mask can't come back from. i've attached pictures of the botched sealent application (once again, i take full resonsibilty for the self sabotage). how can i fix the mask and make it look good going forward. Thanks for the help!

no, i still haven't decided on a character. but lots of progress. (i'm the girl from 3 months ago doing diy)

i've got the eyes bro printed on photopaper now, the ones in the image are just a concept with paper. commissioned my friend to make them. i'm about to do airbrush finishing, and after, that, makeup and sealing. not sure how to do makeup, so that is why i make this post.

probably no fix, but sharing anyway.

18 trans female still living at home. been this way for almost 7 years now. i'm doing all i can to try and stop slipping, but it's not enough. the constant pain of being in a highly politcal hostile enviroment (trump's nonsense trans wars) and a equally hostile household (my parents are pointlessly cruel), and just a difficult situation (high stress levels). i'm really scared for the future, and this has led to massive discocation. i don't really really much of anything anymore, and nothing feels real. i find myself forgetting most things, to the point where i can hardly remember the day before. it's a grind through life. i don't pass, and that's a constant soucre of trauma. it's so hard living like this, and with a possible purge happening, i feel... nothing. i just don't have it in me to care and be present anymore.

facial skin is way darker than skin on the rest of my body, any ideas on how to fix it?

this photo is zoomed in of my arm against my forehead, and the coloration is completely different. i've been increasing my sunscreen use recently, but that alone seems unlikely to revert the skin, even partially.

update/questions-#10

i've been working hard on my mask, and it's now fully primed. (well almost, i ran out of paint at the very end so this is going to be how it is becuase i'm not buying more primer.) main thing i've been doing recently is researching paint options for both the blush and skin colors, and after looking into them, i could not find a single option that wasen't either out of stock or with insane shipping costs, so if someone could provide links, that would be nice (usa california based) i used u/somenewromatic 's eyelashes, they fit okat after some sanding and bending. still have not decided on a character, kind of doing this backwards.

still completely stumped on how i'm going to do makeup/skin, but we'll get to it when we get to that. it's buttery smooth, with only a few very fine lines left. going to leave those alone, more trouble than it's worth.

i've added the first few layers of primer, going very thin to avoid issues. still a few imprefections peeking through. not great. i've installed the hardware on the back half. still no idea what character this is going to be, or how to airbrush the skin on. the other problem is 'makeup', how do you do that?
