Hi, y'all!

I'm (21F) not facially attractive due to my bad facial harmony and features. I look a bit androgynous naturally, but sometimes look like a man in certain angles. I've been called "ugly" all of my life, but I want that to stop, so I'm considering cosmetic procedures. I'd need different things done, since it's not a single problem area/feature.

I have a long mid-face and my philtrum is not short.

My nose has a bulbous tip, my eyes are almond-shaped, and not wide-set.

My nose isn't small, but it's medium-sized. The bulbous tip makes my nose look bigger.

The left side of my jawline is higher than my right side. I have a cross-bite and an overbite.

I have small eyes and too much sclera shows in my left eye.

My face isn't super asymmetrical, but my left eye is a little higher than the other one (it's also bigger), and my right nostril is lower than my left. My right eye is tilted upwards a little as well.

I also used to have plagiocephaly as a baby, but it got corrected (for the most part). Some asymmetries were left behind.

I'm hideous, but I want that to change. My goal is to look like the Black women I've seen who get reposted online, used for beauty inspo, and put in Pinterest boards. I want to be pretty, but that's super hard when your base is garbage.

What would you all recommend I start with?
Has anyone here gotten cosmetic surgery before?
How was it and how long did it take you to save up?

Any advice would be helpful. Thank you! 💗

I am curious to know what to expect because I was not fortunate enough to have a natural hourglass figure. I am considering getting a skinny bbl because the gym doesn’t always help with my weight gain progress.

Beautymaxxing has been ALL over TikTok lately and I’m curious what everyone here is doing to “beautymax” 👀

For anyone who hasn’t seen the trend, beautymaxxing is basically putting extra effort into enhancing your appearance and overall glow up. It can be anything from skincare, fitness, haircare, makeup, whitening strips, lash growth, better sleep, posture, confidence, style upgrades, supplements, or even just drinking more water and being consistent with self care.

So ladies… what are y’all doing right now to level up your beauty routine? What’s actually working for you? Any underrated tips/products/habits?

I’m looking for some YouTube makeup tutorials for a simple everyday eye look for dark-skinned women over 45. Something easy and realistic for work, errands, lunch, casual dinner, etc. No lashes, no 80-step routine, and preferably not a ton of concealer products under the eyes. Just a clean, polished everyday look.
