should i go darker, would that look better on me? any other hair colour suggestions are welcome too

Is there a different hair color or cut that might suit me more? Different eyebrows? Another makeup style? Second pic is about the best I ever look but my hair is thick & wavy and never holds the blowout!

Main concerns are how to properly style my hair/makeup, general skincare, and reducing my buffalo hump (last picture). I’ve got weight loss on my to-do list and would be happy to hear any tips yall might have! Any other suggestions welcome of course 💕 softmaxxing preferred but I’m open to ideas 🤪

so the first picture on the left is me when i was 14, the right is me now. the 2nd old photo is me at 15 if not late 14. the 4th one is at 16 and the rest are current. last picture is current without makeup.

i originally posted on this sub about 4 years ago from an old account asking for advice as i was DESPERATE to glow up. i lost 35 pounds, got on accutane, started tanning, learned how to lose facial fat/get rid of bloating, tinted/threaded my eyebrows into an arch shape, dyed my hair black for eye color contrast and learned how to do makeup among a few other things.

i found that i look awkward in candid photos (2-5) and would rlly love to improve that
first photo is a close up for my features, sixth is with a clear skin filter (skin is very much smth i struggle with) and the last photo is me trying out some hair color filters dont mind the awkward poses bc those are screenshots.

30 year old mom of two. I’m really wanting to look better. You may be ruthless

F 19, basically what the title says. The second I take off my make up and glasses I feel like I look insanely different. It makes me feel like a catfish.

What should I change to feel more naturally pretty? How different do i actually look? I wanna have more confidence in myself so badly bc i do get compliments at times but again only when im wearing my glasses. And honestly some more attention from men esp with going back to college in a few days.

(P.S don’t really want weight loss as only advice iv delt with an ED in the past and although ik I hold alot of face fat im at a healthy weight for my height!:)

Over the past 5 years I’ve focused on my health and happiness. With the help of exercise, calorie counting, and meditation I’ve lost 85 pounds. Looking forward to my last year in my 30’s. 🎉 💜

Spent my entire life taking care of everyone else finally trying to focus on me at 40. Working on weight loss and just improving my overall look and love for myself.

I weighed 220 lbs right before my first son was born. I was absolutely convinced I looked “big” but muscular and had no idea I was just looking fat. As a long time skinny kid I was on a permanent bulk and was afraid of a big cut. I was mistakenly worried I would lose all of my gains. I avoided cardio and ate/drink pretty much what I wanted thinking I needed to keep my calories high to maximize maintaining my mass.

New Year’s Day 2022 I decided to get in better shape (still thinking I was in good shape). This kickstarted a very slow and gradual cut. By March of that year I was down to 205.

Last summer I leaned out all the way to 168 pounds.

Fast forward to now, I have “bulked” back up to 178 but maintain a very consistent hybrid training routine.

Take it from a now nearly 40 year old father of 3 boys. Do not be afraid of the cut and cardio. You will be healthier and look better.

Currently: 50kg 168cm 23yr F
So throughout the years I’ve fluctuated on my weight a lot, from 100kg to 44kg and I still don’t know which one I GENUINELY look the best in, I don’t trust my friends because they told me to stop at 75kg (I was overweight) and I really want someone to just be straight up and honest about which SIZE I actually look the best, not healthiest, nothing like that but the actual BEST and most attractive I’ll put some photos below.
I’ll also attach a photo of my face, I want help with what I can do to make me look better.

I plan on losing weight (currently 61.6kg / 163cm).

Would you recommend getting fillers in these areas? I dont want to be blind though :')

Also what kind of nose job would you recommend me? I am scared that it might be botched and i also have chronic Rhinitis 🫠

Never had a relationship what needs to change ?

i want to look better naturally. ill add photos of me with makeup and barefaced too.

i am aware that im overweight and currently working towards losing weight. i also have an overbite and poor fat distribution in my neck / chin, so suggestions for that would be appreciated.

any fashion / makeup / hairstyle / colour palette advice is also fully welcome. i want to be the best possible version on myself physically.

I don’t feel like I look unattractive but I just look older than I am. I’ve always sorta felt this way ever since I turned 20. Not sure if it’s the stress depression or something else lol. Excuses aside I know I should probably lose some weight (currently 165 pounds target weight 150) and I know my hairline is thinning a bit. Any other advice?

I know I'm ugly despite my mother said I ​look normal/average

I usually am mostly practical about my appearance and don't put a lot of effort into how I look, especially my hair I mostly want to keep out of the way and I often think more elaborate hairstyles just don't look that flattering on my head and face shape. is there something here you would improve hairstyle wise or in general? Another thing I'm sometimes frustrated with is the low contrast that comes with my hair color and skin color. I'm somewhere between a soft summer and soft autumn, I guess, and it took me a while to accept my natural hair color. I just still don't really know how to work with it. If I go to soft in my color palette I feel like I'm working against myself. Any make up recommendations are welcome too, but to be honest I never do a full facial make up, only ever eyes and lipstick. There's also something masculine about my face, I think, and I'm not sure I can change that, so should I lean more into it? Some of you might say change the eyebrows. I've tried to regrowing them, which had so far no effect. And it looks so obviously fake when I try to fill them out with a brow pencil. Especially after having a baby I'm having a hard time connecting with my body and I'm sure some people out here have a good idea how to make more of these features than I do. Long story short any advice on how you would improve this look is greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

Thinking of changing my hair color, I have had it black for over two years and I’m thinking of dying it dark brown, but it is naturally light brown. I have also had it blue.

What should I go with?

(Please be nice I know I was copped and emo in the old pictures 😭)

Edit: blonde is not an option and will never be an option.

19 need advice never had a gf what do I need to change
