First 3 pics with makeup, last 3 without (and side profile)

Guys before the comments get totally flooded - I AM LOSING WEIGHT! It’s a completely reasonable recommendation but im well aware of it & actively working on it so it’s not very impactful!

-50lbs + down since January, well over -50lbs + more to go!

Sorry in advance for the skin - yes I do wash my face and have a decent skin care routine, but it’s just been so oily lately!! lol

I mean I thought yeah they’re thicker but nothing too bad? A lot of people have been suggesting trying something new with my brows lol

Hello everyone!!
I’m looking for help improving/better tailoring my skincare routine. Some days are pretty okay like the second pic, and some end up being more inflamed/breaking out like the third pic.
Looking for any and all thoughts, opinions, & recommendations!! ❤️❤️❤️
The full description of my routine is below! I have also included my day by day routine in the pics!! It’s not always exactly like that, sometimes I’ll add or take away a product but I almost always follow the actives. Sometimes I’ll add less or more moisture/hydration is all. :) or forget to Gua sha (I do it basically when I remember, usually 2-3x per week, but just not on differin nights!)
My goals are to stop breakouts, repair barrier, prevent aging (22f), and to generally have the healthiest skin possible!!

Hi!

I feel like my makeup always just looks so sloppy and it’s probably because of my eyes? Maybe my brows are too dense or my eyeliner looks hmm idk how to describe it but like super childish?

I only use mascara, eyeliner, concealer, powder, blush, highlighter (for inner corners), and a lip tint.

Even though I use waterproof mascara it rubs all over my under eyes :/

Idk im just looking for tips on how to make my eyes & brows look more cohesive?? Anything helps lol ty :)

Hi everyone!!

I have an appointment with my local beauty school on Tuesday for a cut & color (/balayage?). Also a keratin treatment.

Pics 3-4 are my color references, and 5-6 are my cut references.

What do you guys think? Are these good references? Any other recommendations that you guys think would suit me? I’m pretty much open to anything!! I have black box dye in so I’m not sure if this is achievable?
