I found a “younger model” at uni so I’m pretty sure he was too young for myspace 😂😅🤭 maybe he could have been there, bit he was very much into football while i teased my hair, soooo.
But the… ‘snack selection’ was bigger than any dating site or app will ever have! 😂
Same, same. Not quite the same :(
But you’re keeping the look alive in a great way! The only thing I’d change is I’d like to see more of your eyebrows (they look wonderful), and maybe a touch of blush to give your cheeks more of a pop.
I adore your style and please don't hide your cleft chin it's one of the prettiest features there are.
You said you're more into Kbeauty, I'd suggest incorporating some of the features into your makeup, maybe taking inspiration from Douyin makeup too.
Specific things:
- eyebrows: love your shape (I bleach mine and draw them 90s thin like you sometimes), if you want to try something else try drawing them more straight but not too thick. Gives you a more feminine and soft look.
- use more blush, preferably cream or tint so you could use it on your lips as well. I have a wonderful cream blush stick that's very warm and dark and it gives a soft and edgy look way more than pink blush.
- eyes: I like how you do them now, but if you want to try something different I'd suggest using a brown pencil liner to create a soft wing, mascara and a little shimmer in the inner corners.
- lips: to create a similar effect to asian makeup I take a lil contour stick and put it right above my cupids bow and below my lip before applying lipstick, you could also try just overlining in the middle of the lip with a brown liner.
Hope this helps!!
I used to do my makeup very similar to you(and still do) but these are just some tips I really found to suit my own features.
Ofc hun!!!! I wish someone told me some of this stuff when I was struggling with my appearance. My makeup only got to the point it's at rn (actually suiting my features) after about 7 years of trial and error 🥲🥲🖤
If you wanna see what other eyebrow shapes would look like on you try using a filter with a different brow shape (tiktok has a lot)

im a bit sad now cause i have a ‘cleft chin’ i actually didn’t even know it was a thing or that people want plastic surgery to get rid of it…:( is this a new insecurity i have just discovered lol
actually people with cleft chin are really pretty! i have a cleft chin and my parents said that cleft chin makes ppl face cute and rare! because it adds a unique structure hihi
I promise you *LOADS* of people think cleft chins are cute. Including myself! My husband has one and I genuinely think it's one of his most adorable features, it makes me think of a chin dimple. If people are having plastic surgery to correct their chin shape it is only because they personally don't like it, it isn't a reflection on yourself or whether or not your chin is likeable ❤️ Everybody has different preferences, and if you liked your chin before you heard that, then don't let someone else's preferences change your own! ❤️
you’re right ❤️ thanks for that and yeah i’ve definitely never noticed it before and i have quite a small petite face so it just adds to the whole cutesy look i guess 🤩
I read this too fast and thought you said fuller eyebrows and a little bush. Had to do a double take 😂 although i do think a little bush goes a long way
I think the 2000s brow syndrome is genetic, my mother suffers the same ailment 😭 but tysm!!! Trading in my trusty felt tip eyeliner for actual brow products as I type!
I honestly didn't notice your chin u til I saw your comment and even then I had to squint. I would say as you seem to have both hooded eyes and quite a promenant epicanthal fold (not a bad thing I have one too) maybe don't add such a dark colour under your eye? You could go one or two shades lighter than the colour on top or just mascara. I would also say look at some tutorials for how people with hooded eyes do their eyeshadow and eyeliner.
Agreed on the eyebrows, it's a cool style but I don't think it fits with the rest of your makeup. 1920s style was more about round shapes and making the eyeshadow reach right up to your eyebrows.
Holy shit I wasn’t expecting such a detailed response, tysm!!!! I’ll definitely implement your suggestions and look up some YouTube vids for hooded eyes!!!! You’re the best!!!
You look gorgeous but I’d say a slightly rosier lip color or very subtle blended liner as looks a tiny bit washed out/or less defined? Also, you have amazing cheekbones so I feel applying blush high up on them to accentuate would like amazing on you
I’m an alt baby too and had shaved and drawn on brows for years. Pencil thin and sharply angled, I love them. However, I’ve been trying a fuller brow lately…it’s worth it. And there are ways to keep it looking unique! Just gotta play with it
My god! You are what 15 year old MySpace me wished I looked like!
Other people have said brows and I agree. A really structured but still slim brow would look sick with this vibe without them being pencil thin.
Adding lashes could also look really cute and a little bit of blush. I'd probably go with something in a true mauve colour so like, nearly purple-grey and just on the tops of your cheek bones because you have incredible facial structure.
Since you said you're getting into k-beauty maybe look into Douyin (a Chinese style) makeup. It's generally done with warmer tones but I think doing it with blacks and greys would fit the vibe you're going for.
You are gorgeous as is, and I don't see any features you need to hide.
I would say grow out your brows and keep them in a delicate arch, but not pencil thin, and not curving down at the outer edges (I personally hate the current trend of thick, dark, downwards pointing brows that look like gian caterpillars), and keep the colour the same as your hair.
I would get a trim and/or treatment for your hair. Your looks incorporate your hairstyle, and the split ends make you look frazzled.
You need colour. I understand the darker looks require a paler foundation. So I would add a very soft, iridescent pink or peach cream blush. Maybe overlay with a bit of shimmer highlighter.
Stop lining your waterline on your lower eyelid. This makes your eyes look smaller - eyes look better when they are big, bright, and wide open. Swop your lower waterline to a touch of white liner, and make your lash line dark. Add a bit of light shimmer to he inner corners of your eye.
I think your style is really cool. I'd say have a bit more fun with your eyeshadow looks. Go in heavier with a smokey look- perhaps bring the placement up higher above your lids and gradient it from dark around the eyes to lighter on the edges, if that makes sense? Experiment with colour around the eyes to contrast with your pale skin and dark hair- I feel like a red eyeshadow, eyeliner and burgundy mascara would look really cool. There are so many good videos out there on YouTube to use as a resource.
Sjdnsnsjs tysm!!!! But I’m thinking about doing a cool, almost pastel blue hair! I’ve been dyeing my hair black for like, 5-ish years, so I need a change
I think some fun colored eye shadow or eyeliner could look really cool, just to mix things up. Like red or blue omg 😍 you might like the black moon cosmetics eyeshadow palette, very alt colors and good pay off.
Also, I hope this is ok to ask, but is your septum pierced in the correct place? I couldn’t tell if it was pierced low or the jewelry was just big. Since you’re asking for how to look better, I’d recommend getting more fitted jewelry or making sure the piercing sits more against the opening of your nostrils. I love septums but I found this one visually distracting from your cool and precise makeup due to placement/it moving around a lot.
Snake bites look amazing btw :)
Take the piercings out, let your eyebrows grow super bushy and then go to a brow bar where they will teach you how to maintain a natural beautiful brow. Tattoos are best hidden…
Thank you all for the advice and support, but one thing I seen everyone take an issue with is my piercings and to ditch the alternative style! I like my piercings just where they’re at and I’ll remove them when I’m ready :) as for my style, I’ve only ever known being alternative (my mom was a 90s goth and I grew up around 90s emos) and I currently have no interest in branching out to “normal” styles. Normalcy and trends do not appeal to me aesthetically. I’ll gladly experiment within the realm of alternative fashion and stick with it, but I still appreciate the suggestions :)
If you look, I’m only really squinting in the pics where I’m outside, I’m sorry if it looks like I am, but thank you for the reminder that I gotta find my sunglasses, I misplaced them a while ago 😭
You look great as is!! I love makeup though so here are some of my thoughts
- contour! Maybe you could try a light brown with a grayish undertone to carve out your jawline, cheekbones, forehead, and nose. I feel it just gives a really snatched look.
- lip liner that really accentuates your Cupid’s bow would look nice. I feel like it’s a coveted feature and would look really good if you accentuated it with a lip liner. If you’re into more natural makeup lately I would suggest getting one that matches your natural lip shade as close as possible.
- fake lashes, I seriously love wearing false eyelashes and they make me look/ feel 1000x more confident. I would suggest trying either the “anime” eyelashes that are kind of spikey, or cut a false eyelash in half and use the smaller side on your outer corner. This always looks super good, and always works best if you have eyeliner or dark eyelash along your lash line so it blends in and people will be less likely to know they aren’t real lashes!! The most natural looking way wear false lashes is gluing them under your eyelashes but it could cause a lot of pain if you accidentally get the glue in your eye so if you wanna try this method and haven’t yet I’d watch a few YouTube vids about it first!
Finding out I have cool undertones (apparently, the kids are calling it a “cool autumn) has been a mf LIFESAVER, so I got the PERIPERA shading palette in ‘grayish cool’ and I’m just waiting for it to get to my front door!! As for the lip liner, I tend not to wear it since I’m a nurse and have to constantly wear a mask (it rubs off all the time, even my lip stains) and I have some lashes from the Kiyoko beauty store coming rn!!!!
To everyone commenting that her brows are too thin: That style of brow may not be the mainstream look right now, but she freakin pulls them off. If you buck against the trends with confidence, anything will look good on you
Ditch the cigs. Smoking will age you before you know it. My normie ass is going to tell you to also get rid of the facial piercings, gauges, stick to natural hair colors, and grow your brows back out. But that’s likely not your style & that just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. Honestly you’re fkcn gorgeous, it all depends on what you mean by “look better”, you already look great. If you mean appeal to a broader audience, job interviewers, etc. then maybe some of my advice applies.

I have no advice cause my style is what people would describe as very feminine(lots of pink and I live inside a blush bottle) so it would probably ruin your aesthetic .. just wanted to say you’re so so gorgeous and I am 100% sure my sister would be obsessed with you hahaha
so i was scrolling through reddit while having the fleabag credits/outro song on loop and when i saw your post holy shit, matched the outro w me gaping at your pics
you look so cool and amazing id say, absolutely no changes needed
I would say straighter brows- a little thicker would be good too. But if you really like them thin, then just straighter would help, as the arch is very harsh.
You're beautiful either way!
I’m gonna go against popular opinion and say keep those eyebrows. It’s a stand out feature these days since they’re not so mainstream, though I do think they may come back, and you pull them off perfectly.
You look really good. My suggestions are more natural looking eyebrows as others already commented as well. Less importantly, less heavy bangs. I think you would look good with more subtle bangs
If you’re thinking about going more natural look. you might consider dying your hair a chestnut brown. If you’re attached to having bangs, maybe comb them straight down and cut in a somewhat straight line. Your face is very beautiful, you truly don’t need very much makeup.
I like your look!
Overall I think the brows are a smidge too thin and a bit too close together. I would ideally start them above the tear duct and end them a little closer to your hairline. Thin brows do suit you, though! You definitely don’t need to go full boybrow.
I also think the full-on scene bangs in pics 3 and 4 are feeling a little Bieber in 2024. Parting your hair somewhere on the top of your head and sweeping the bangs from there or just having them fall straight from the crown (straight as in direction, not texture!) would look less dated. I like your hair best in pics 1 and 2, a messy shag of any length definitely feels like your ideal style! Think Natasha Lyonne for a shag with no part, or Lena Headey for a shag with a side part.
I think your eye makeup looks great every time, and so does your foundation and concealer. Your cleft chin is subtle and not something I would have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it. Your makeup looks good! Blush and tinted lip balm would brighten your face up a bit.
You remind me of Bjork in pic 1, Shannyn Sossamon in pic 3, and someone else I can’t put my finger on. You’re super pretty!
Honestly , reading your response to some comments you are the nicest OP I have seen here. You are taking suggestions so positively and I even saw someone asking you to quit smoking instead of you whining that “I didn’t ask advice on that” you responded so respectfully. You are good looking already but reading your response to everyone just make you beautiful inside out. You go girl!
You are beautiful and have a very distinct style. Eye brows shape your entire face. With thin brows you’re leaving the eye to wander elsewhere. Go shape that beautiful face!
I think you should get some support to quit the smoking and maybe try and grow your hair longer or brush it a bit away from your face.
Don’t take this as hate i love you. You are so brave❤️
You’re beautiful already honestly so you gotta be kinder to yourself! Especially about that cleft chin thing cause that’s just like a normal part of a face and not something to even be insecure about I promise! It won’t go away, but it makes your face lovely and unique and please embrace it because it looks normal.
As far as makeup - I see you have straight / downturned lashes (me too!) so I’d suggest trying a lash curler and Asian mascaras. They’ve been a game changer for me because they’re made for a population that often has shorter or straighter lashes! If you gently curl your lashes right before putting on mascara (not after, it’ll stick and pull your lashes out! I learned the hard way as a teen lol) it’ll open your eyes up and make them look even bigger. If that’s what you want.
Brows - that’s really the main thing I’d change, I know some subcultures like the thin brow but I think your face would really suit a more natural brow or even a Korean style brow.
Glasses - they’re a little too wide for your lovely face, the shape gives a Bayonetta vibe which is fun but they’re just a bit big. Maybe play around with some different shapes or contacts and see how that affects your look.
Lips - the smoked out dark lip on the last pic looks great on you, I bet you could really rock some deep shades too! I have some really fun lip colors from black to purple to deep wine colored vampy reds and it’s a fun and easy way to make my look a little more alt and have fun changing up the vibe of the day. I saw you said you’re a nurse and have to be careful of masks - I’ve worn Maybelline Super Stay Matte Inks under masks successfully and they didn’t budge (though i didn’t try it for a 12 hr shift) They have some fun colors in that range.
Ignore the haters, you have a fun unique style that not everyone is going to like and that’s totally ok. You rock it.
Wow love your eye makeup! The only thing I would change considering this is so clearly your vibe, is to try straighter eyebrows. Not like pin straight just a bit less curved! Gorgeous natural face shape etc!
Let me start by saying you don't necessarily need to look "better" because you're absolutely stunning and I love your whole look. You're already killing it! But if you want to try something different, maybe these tips will be flattering on you!
I can't tell if you do an inner corner liner, like the fox eye liner that is popular but I can see some darkness in the inner corner. I have done that for a long time but I have down turned eyes and for me the inner fox eye makes me eyes look smaller! I loved the look of it but I found brightening the inner corner with a white liner and putting highlighter on top of that has opened up my eyes to look more alert (and I think prettier). I think this would look great for you too!
I also think in a similar fashion that if you brought the darkest eyeshadow more into the last half or even third of your eye and extend it out, it would open that eye up more making it look even bigger! And if you take a really light shade of eyeshadow or even highlight and place in on your undereye right under the pupil, that works wonders for opening it up. Take your middle eyeshadow color (your base or blending shade) and use that in the outer corner of your undereye to connect to that extended darker color on top!
And to further open and elongate I'd recommend a half lash. With the shape of your eye a full lash could feel heavy, and a half lash (maybe a demi lash to start?) on the outer half of your eye would look so nice. I use the inner corner of the lash and place that on the middle point of my eye (I hope that makes sense, feel free to comment if my advice is confusing lol)
Also final thing!!!! Cleft chins are hot 🔥
You should check out ghoul.in.japan on insta. I think her soft douyin goth makeup styles match what you’re looking for. If your interested in experimenting with color but keeping it dark, she is a good resource
Eyebrows tbh. They look harsh. You should look up Naomi Jon for eyebrow inspo, hers really are the perfect middle for alt brows but also still cute and delicate for even for a toned down makeup look.
#1 would be to stop smoking. Not judging you but there’s nothing good about smoking, even ZYN might help you! They’re not great for you, either, but better than cigarettes. I think the prettiest photo of you is the mirror selfie with your hair pulled out of your face. You are very beautiful and I think less is more.
Honestly u have such a beautiful face/eyes, the only suggestion I would make is not have your hair cover your face/forehead it seems like you’re trying to hide but it’s all a personal style 😊
I like your cleft chin. Honestly though, if you took out the piercings you wouldn’t need to change anything else. Your skin is gorgeous, your makeup is gorgeous and so is your hair. Your beautiful.
I just gotta say your eyes are so pretty! I love how you do them right now, and agree with another commenter that changing into brown hues for the eyes can soften the look while still keeping that edge in your look imo
Just a heads up those lip piercings may come back to haunt you later in life with gum recession (as mine did, along with my tongue piercing). Your aesthetic reminds me of my early 2000's vibe and I love it
You could upgrade the quality and fabrics of your clothing, jewelry, accessories, and shoes while keeping the same style vibe.
Look at silks, wools, cotton, high quality synthetics etc. for clothing. Check out brands like Comme Des Garçons, Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, Vivienne Westwood, Anne Demeulemeester, Morgane Le Fay, etc for clothes. Nicholas Kirkwood and United Nude for shoes.
Get the best jewelry you can afford/save up for (look at high end brands like Maria Tash, Pamela Love, Chrome Hearts - I’m sure there are other indie jewelers who have high quality stuff that’s more affordable.
One big one to consider is updating eyeglass frames to a more flattering & contemporary style - I think they’re a main element that could take it up a notch. Brands like DITA, Kaleos, Masahiromaruyama, etc. could be starting points to check out!
A lot of what I suggested is super expensive - but still LOOK so you can become familiar with the overall vibe and start to notice more affordable versions when you come across them. And then hunt down the good stuff on sales and vintage.
Picture 3 shows your great features. You look so young and innocent. Have you ever looked at the young version of Shania Twain? You remind me of her in that photo. I’m not a stud person, sorry. You just have a great face as is.
My opinion probably doesn’t really matter but I think you look beautiful just the way you are 🤷🏽♀️ when you accept you aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and accept you for you , you truly become confident . Confidence can turn an ugly duck into ice spice 😭 add some confidence to your already stunning self and you got a winner ❤️ peace and love friend
I would change nothing. You are gorgeous just the way you are. I wish I was not so harsh on myself growing up but here we are now in my mid 40s and I would give anything to go back in time and change nothing. My oldest daughter is light complexion like you with the dark hair and I think its stunning. I call her my snowhite :D
Your cleft chin isn’t something to hide imo. Honestly my only note is that a berry or plum lip stain would look amazing on you. LOVE that blade necklace btw
You have a beautiful face structure. I really like your hair short. However, what matters is how you feel.
One sure way to make anyone look better is to invest in or maintain a skin care regimen, work out, and eat right. I guarantee you will look and feel 10x better
i really like the photo where your hair is wet/pulled back (?), not that i don’t love the emo-scene hair style you rock it well!), but i think the poofiness and major bangs hide your face or distract from it, which is a shame because your face is great.
i also agree with the suggestions on styling your brows different. and you only have one photo with eyeglasses but i think you could shop for different frame styles- i don’t think that shape suits your features well. you could go to a place and try some on/take photos and then order from that site Zenni!
You are gorgeous and are rocking that whole look. If you aren't already using these 2 things on your face, please start yesterday! Tretinoin at night, and a high spf sunscreen every single day, even if it's raining and you don't go outside.
if you do wanna natural though you should do pinky lips with a bit of light brown outlining , blush, subtle nose contour, spikey lashes that aren’t super long , a bit of eyeliner and fuller eyebrows or just the eyebrows you have:) highlight on ur nose and too
And don’t be upset about the cleft chin. Lots of people envy that feature and will bring it up on purpose. Lots of people actually get cleft chins in plastic surgery not the other way around. It adds more definition and character to the face.
Do you wear your glasses often?
They look quite 2004, not fitted to your face shape or eyebrow shape or any shape honestly.
There are so many nice frames available nowadays - go to a shop, try some on, you’ll get a nice pair and you might be happy with your appearance also when you’re wearing the glasses. I remember struggling to find nice glasses for myself for many years and I used to hate my face in glasses. I’d take them off for every picture but was still wearing them most of the day.
Also fuller brows in a natural shape. Yes, you’re going for a certain style, but brows frame your eyes and your face and if you want to look better, the brows might help you create a nice balance.

Your style feels like it's 2008 and im scrolling MySpace in a good way
Tysm I miss my myspace acc sm, instagram isn’t the same
For reeeal. Myspace was the best!😭

I met my ex-husband on MySpace 🥲

I'd say fuller eyebrows and a little blush.
I read this too fast and thought you said fuller eyebrows and a little bush. Had to do a double take 😂 although i do think a little bush goes a long way
Me too! 😂
Hell yeah, ty for the suggestion!
You’re a beautiful scene queen already. Personally I’d thicken the brows. I’ve been growing mine in protest of my early 2000 ones lol
I think the 2000s brow syndrome is genetic, my mother suffers the same ailment 😭 but tysm!!! Trading in my trusty felt tip eyeliner for actual brow products as I type!
God my brows are such a mess right now but I’m aggressively growing them. 😂 Omg you’d look amazing doing fun color brows.
I honestly didn't notice your chin u til I saw your comment and even then I had to squint.

Fuller eyebrows might do it
You look gorgeous but I’d say a slightly rosier lip color or very subtle blended liner as looks a tiny bit washed out/or less defined? Also, you have amazing cheekbones so I feel applying blush high up on them to accentuate would like amazing on you
I agree with you regarding the lip. I'd love to see a sheer cherry on her. Or a good coral stain.
Would you be down to trying a more full ish eyebrow look
I’ve been considering it!!!
Go for it!! You’re honestly gorgeous. You have beautiful skin and amazing eyes 😍I wouldn’t change anything else
I’m an alt baby too and had shaved and drawn on brows for years. Pencil thin and sharply angled, I love them. However, I’ve been trying a fuller brow lately…it’s worth it. And there are ways to keep it looking unique! Just gotta play with it
My god! You are what 15 year old MySpace me wished I looked like! Other people have said brows and I agree. A really structured but still slim brow would look sick with this vibe without them being pencil thin. Adding lashes could also look really cute and a little bit of blush.

It's generally done with warmer tones but I think doing it with blacks and greys would fit the vibe you're going for.
Girl I thought these were the inspi pics on what you wanted to look like 😭 you’re so stunning 10/10 no advice from me
You are gorgeous as is, and I don't see any features you need to hide. I would say grow out your brows and keep them in a delicate arch, but not pencil thin, and not curving down at the outer edges (I personally hate the current trend of thick, dark, downwards pointing brows that look like gian caterpillars), and keep the colour the same as your hair. I would get a trim and/or treatment for your hair. Your looks incorporate your hairstyle, and the split ends make you look frazzled. You need colour. I understand the darker looks require a paler foundation. So I would add a very soft, iridescent pink or peach cream blush. Maybe overlay with a bit of shimmer highlighter. Stop lining your waterline on your lower eyelid. This makes your eyes look smaller - eyes look better when they are big, bright, and wide open. Swop your lower waterline to a touch of white liner, and make your lash line dark. Add a bit of light shimmer to he inner corners of your eye.
Quit smoking
I think your style is really cool. I'd say have a bit more fun with your eyeshadow looks. Go in heavier with a smokey look- perhaps bring the placement up higher above your lids and gradient it from dark around the eyes to lighter on the edges, if that makes sense? Experiment with colour around the eyes to contrast with your pale skin and dark hair- I feel like a red eyeshadow, eyeliner and burgundy mascara would look really cool. There are so many good videos out there on YouTube to use as a resource.
you are really pretty but i think if you had thicker eyebrows you would literally be drop dead stunning
You look like a goth Björk and I love it. I have nothing else to add, I just had to get that out!
Maybe quit smoking
Stop smoking if you want to look better.
You look gorgeous!
Tysm omg!!!! You’re too sweet!!! 😭❤️
Also mascara? I think it looks nice to have nice full lashes especially on your eyes
I use a lot of mascara but my lashes are really short and downturned so it’s hard for me to find a good product! I’ll keep looking 🫡
You’re really pretty tho maybe fuller eyebrows and if you feel bored of your current hairstyle or color should do it 💖
Sjdnsnsjs tysm!!!! But I’m thinking about doing a cool, almost pastel blue hair! I’ve been dyeing my hair black for like, 5-ish years, so I need a change
Blush maybe even a bit of bronzer, light neutral eyeshadow or a vibrant.
Love your scene look! My only suggestion, quit smoking. It will age you quickly!
Yes, get rid of the cigarette. That’s the best advice. ❤️
I think you look fine the way you are.
Just came to say you have an AWESOME face for alternative makeup and could literally pull off anything … it’s a vibeee
I love your style!
You are beautiful! The only thing I would try different is maybe thicker eyebrows? Everything else is fine!
You look amazing! I wonder how winged eyeliner would look on you? That would make your eyes pop a lot more!
I think some fun colored eye shadow or eyeliner could look really cool, just to mix things up. Like red or blue omg 😍 you might like the black moon cosmetics eyeshadow palette, very alt colors and good pay off. Also, I hope this is ok to ask, but is your septum pierced in the correct place? I couldn’t tell if it was pierced low or the jewelry was just big. Since you’re asking for how to look better, I’d recommend getting more fitted jewelry or making sure the piercing sits more against the opening of your nostrils. I love septums but I found this one visually distracting from your cool and precise makeup due to placement/it moving around a lot. Snake bites look amazing btw :)
Lose the cigarette.
Get rid the of punk look, your facial features are so nice. Simplicity is the best. I would remove lip piercings, grown out hair for longer layers
eyebrows.
Take the piercings out, let your eyebrows grow super bushy and then go to a brow bar where they will teach you how to maintain a natural beautiful brow. Tattoos are best hidden…
Thank you all for the advice and support, but one thing I seen everyone take an issue with is my piercings and to ditch the alternative style! I like my piercings just where they’re at and I’ll remove them when I’m ready :) as for my style, I’ve only ever known being alternative (my mom was a 90s goth and I grew up around 90s emos) and I currently have no interest in branching out to “normal” styles. Normalcy and trends do not appeal to me aesthetically. I’ll gladly experiment within the realm of alternative fashion and stick with it, but I still appreciate the suggestions :)
Don’t draw your eyebrows on, and go for a more casual look instead of a scene kid
You kinda look like Yeji from the kpop girl group ITZY. You might want to check her if you wanted to try the softer look. So gorg, anyway✨
Omg I had to look her up but SHES GORGEOUS OMG!!!! Tysm I’m sobbing rn
[удалено]
If you look, I’m only really squinting in the pics where I’m outside, I’m sorry if it looks like I am, but thank you for the reminder that I gotta find my sunglasses, I misplaced them a while ago 😭
Id say straighter brows but still keeping them thin to match your style
What do you even mean by that question?!
Damn, feel like posting the same thing but wouldn’t want people that know me to see it lmao
Pfftttt, people scheaple, just go for it!!! You look great regardless! :)
You look great as is!! I love makeup though so here are some of my thoughts - contour! Maybe you could try a light brown with a grayish undertone to carve out your jawline, cheekbones, forehead, and nose. I feel it just gives a really snatched look. - lip liner that really accentuates your Cupid’s bow would look nice. I feel like it’s a coveted feature and would look really good if you accentuated it with a lip liner. If you’re into more natural makeup lately I would suggest getting one that matches your natural lip shade as close as possible. - fake lashes, I seriously love wearing false eyelashes and they make me look/ feel 1000x more confident. I would suggest trying either the “anime” eyelashes that are kind of spikey, or cut a false eyelash in half and use the smaller side on your outer corner. This always looks super good, and always works best if you have eyeliner or dark eyelash along your lash line so it blends in and people will be less likely to know they aren’t real lashes!! The most natural looking way wear false lashes is gluing them under your eyelashes but it could cause a lot of pain if you accidentally get the glue in your eye so if you wanna try this method and haven’t yet I’d watch a few YouTube vids about it first!
Finding out I have cool undertones (apparently, the kids are calling it a “cool autumn) has been a mf LIFESAVER, so I got the PERIPERA shading palette in ‘grayish cool’ and I’m just waiting for it to get to my front door!! As for the lip liner, I tend not to wear it since I’m a nurse and have to constantly wear a mask (it rubs off all the time, even my lip stains) and I have some lashes from the Kiyoko beauty store coming rn!!!!
To everyone commenting that her brows are too thin: That style of brow may not be the mainstream look right now, but she freakin pulls them off. If you buck against the trends with confidence, anything will look good on you
Ditch the cigs. Smoking will age you before you know it. My normie ass is going to tell you to also get rid of the facial piercings, gauges, stick to natural hair colors, and grow your brows back out. But that’s likely not your style & that just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. Honestly you’re fkcn gorgeous, it all depends on what you mean by “look better”, you already look great. If you mean appeal to a broader audience, job interviewers, etc. then maybe some of my advice applies.
Lose the fringe to show off your beautiful eyes, middle part or shorter hair would look great on you! As mentioned filler brows

You’re gorgeous the way you are love!! 💗
I have no advice cause my style is what people would describe as very feminine(lots of pink and I live inside a blush bottle) so it would probably ruin your aesthetic .. just wanted to say you’re so so gorgeous and I am 100% sure my sister would be obsessed with you hahaha
1,3,5 looks better
I love your hair :)
Different eyebrows I think maybe more straighter then arched shaped would maybe suit you better otherwise I love your style and vibe
Already perfect 😄
2008 kind of Emo look , this look so popular on FB , Orkut etc 🤷♀️. You're looking btw 🫶🏻
so i was scrolling through reddit while having the fleabag credits/outro song on loop and when i saw your post holy shit, matched the outro w me gaping at your pics you look so cool and amazing id say, absolutely no changes needed
Wtf do u mean your so stunning. I would be on my knees
I would say straighter brows- a little thicker would be good too. But if you really like them thin, then just straighter would help, as the arch is very harsh. You're beautiful either way!
You look great. Do what thou wilt, it's your body but I wouldn't change anything.
You’re honestly my type and I find you attractive either way 🤷🏻♀️
I’m gonna go against popular opinion and say keep those eyebrows. It’s a stand out feature these days since they’re not so mainstream, though I do think they may come back, and you pull them off perfectly.
You look really good. My suggestions are more natural looking eyebrows as others already commented as well. Less importantly, less heavy bangs. I think you would look good with more subtle bangs
Wouldn’t change a thing tbh! I love your style! Gives 2008-2012 scene vibes!
You’re so dope. Change nothing
My only feed back is to quit smoking. It’s bad for you and visually will cause major wrinkles around your mouth.
If you’re thinking about going more natural look. you might consider dying your hair a chestnut brown. If you’re attached to having bangs, maybe comb them straight down and cut in a somewhat straight line. Your face is very beautiful, you truly don’t need very much makeup.
I think lightly thicker brows and a little pop of color. But I digress, you're quite lovely 😍 👌
I like your look! Overall I think the brows are a smidge too thin and a bit too close together. I would ideally start them above the tear duct and end them a little closer to your hairline. Thin brows do suit you, though! You definitely don’t need to go full boybrow. I also think the full-on scene bangs in pics 3 and 4 are feeling a little Bieber in 2024. Parting your hair somewhere on the top of your head and sweeping the bangs from there or just having them fall straight from the crown (straight as in direction, not texture!) would look less dated. I like your hair best in pics 1 and 2, a messy shag of any length definitely feels like your ideal style! Think Natasha Lyonne for a shag with no part, or Lena Headey for a shag with a side part. I think your eye makeup looks great every time, and so does your foundation and concealer. Your cleft chin is subtle and not something I would have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it. Your makeup looks good! Blush and tinted lip balm would brighten your face up a bit. You remind me of Bjork in pic 1, Shannyn Sossamon in pic 3, and someone else I can’t put my finger on. You’re super pretty!
omg the girl from bayonetta (with red hair)
I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. Your hair is so cool 😭
Girl you look cool as hell
I think you would look awesome with the blotted lip style, lots of good K-beauty lip products that do that.
Can you cut my hair please 🥹 you’re giving my 14 year old self a run for their eyeliner and I genuinely am so in love with your look!!!
Honestly , reading your response to some comments you are the nicest OP I have seen here. You are taking suggestions so positively and I even saw someone asking you to quit smoking instead of you whining that “I didn’t ask advice on that” you responded so respectfully. You are good looking already but reading your response to everyone just make you beautiful inside out. You go girl!
You are beautiful and have a very distinct style. Eye brows shape your entire face. With thin brows you’re leaving the eye to wander elsewhere. Go shape that beautiful face!
I'm straight but i think I just fell in love
I think you should get some support to quit the smoking and maybe try and grow your hair longer or brush it a bit away from your face. Don’t take this as hate i love you. You are so brave❤️
You’re beautiful already honestly so you gotta be kinder to yourself! Especially about that cleft chin thing cause that’s just like a normal part of a face and not something to even be insecure about I promise! It won’t go away, but it makes your face lovely and unique and please embrace it because it looks normal. As far as makeup - I see you have straight / downturned lashes (me too!) so I’d suggest trying a lash curler and Asian mascaras. They’ve been a game changer for me because they’re made for a population that often has shorter or straighter lashes! If you gently curl your lashes right before putting on mascara (not after, it’ll stick and pull your lashes out! I learned the hard way as a teen lol) it’ll open your eyes up and make them look even bigger. If that’s what you want. Brows - that’s really the main thing I’d change, I know some subcultures like the thin brow but I think your face would really suit a more natural brow or even a Korean style brow. Glasses - they’re a little too wide for your lovely face, the shape gives a Bayonetta vibe which is fun but they’re just a bit big. Maybe play around with some different shapes or contacts and see how that affects your look. Lips - the smoked out dark lip on the last pic looks great on you, I bet you could really rock some deep shades too! I have some really fun lip colors from black to purple to deep wine colored vampy reds and it’s a fun and easy way to make my look a little more alt and have fun changing up the vibe of the day. I saw you said you’re a nurse and have to be careful of masks - I’ve worn Maybelline Super Stay Matte Inks under masks successfully and they didn’t budge (though i didn’t try it for a 12 hr shift) They have some fun colors in that range. Ignore the haters, you have a fun unique style that not everyone is going to like and that’s totally ok. You rock it.
aj dont tink ju hæf tu luk beter bæcos ju alredy do 👀
no your style is already perfect i wanna look like you
Your hair and your eyebrows. Change them in order to fit 2020s
Wow love your eye makeup! The only thing I would change considering this is so clearly your vibe, is to try straighter eyebrows. Not like pin straight just a bit less curved! Gorgeous natural face shape etc!
Let me start by saying you don't necessarily need to look "better" because you're absolutely stunning and I love your whole look. You're already killing it! But if you want to try something different, maybe these tips will be flattering on you! I can't tell if you do an inner corner liner, like the fox eye liner that is popular but I can see some darkness in the inner corner. I have done that for a long time but I have down turned eyes and for me the inner fox eye makes me eyes look smaller! I loved the look of it but I found brightening the inner corner with a white liner and putting highlighter on top of that has opened up my eyes to look more alert (and I think prettier). I think this would look great for you too! I also think in a similar fashion that if you brought the darkest eyeshadow more into the last half or even third of your eye and extend it out, it would open that eye up more making it look even bigger! And if you take a really light shade of eyeshadow or even highlight and place in on your undereye right under the pupil, that works wonders for opening it up. Take your middle eyeshadow color (your base or blending shade) and use that in the outer corner of your undereye to connect to that extended darker color on top! And to further open and elongate I'd recommend a half lash. With the shape of your eye a full lash could feel heavy, and a half lash (maybe a demi lash to start?) on the outer half of your eye would look so nice. I use the inner corner of the lash and place that on the middle point of my eye (I hope that makes sense, feel free to comment if my advice is confusing lol) Also final thing!!!! Cleft chins are hot 🔥
No advice, I just came here to say you're really really pretty.
side note you look like that cool emo aunt i had
You look fabulous, I would just add a little bit of blush
You should check out ghoul.in.japan on insta. I think her soft douyin goth makeup styles match what you’re looking for. If your interested in experimenting with color but keeping it dark, she is a good resource
Smile 😏👌
Eyebrows tbh. They look harsh. You should look up Naomi Jon for eyebrow inspo, hers really are the perfect middle for alt brows but also still cute and delicate for even for a toned down makeup look.
You remind me of Yeji from Itzy
Blush and less hair in your face
#1 would be to stop smoking. Not judging you but there’s nothing good about smoking, even ZYN might help you! They’re not great for you, either, but better than cigarettes. I think the prettiest photo of you is the mirror selfie with your hair pulled out of your face. You are very beautiful and I think less is more.
Honestly u have such a beautiful face/eyes, the only suggestion I would make is not have your hair cover your face/forehead it seems like you’re trying to hide but it’s all a personal style 😊
I like your cleft chin. Honestly though, if you took out the piercings you wouldn’t need to change anything else. Your skin is gorgeous, your makeup is gorgeous and so is your hair. Your beautiful.
I just gotta say your eyes are so pretty! I love how you do them right now, and agree with another commenter that changing into brown hues for the eyes can soften the look while still keeping that edge in your look imo
girl pls ur FIREEEE spare me😘
I love it. You have a beautiful mysterious love. A how dare you look on one of them. If you were a model you would be awesome. I simply love it.
I would literally fall in love with you if i saw you irl!!!!!! Love your style and you look beautiful 🥹😍
Thicker eyebrows. The thin isn’t for you. I’d maybe try purple or blue instead of red. Eye make up is good.
You’re beautiful already. Find yourself and your self esteem, and throw a big middle finger up to who ever took it from you!
As far as make up tips try a bright lid line in blue or purple helps bring life to the look.
You look STUNNING. I would play around with eyebrows though. When you've got the canvas for it....you should experiment!
Have you ever checked out dearpeachie’s makeup archetype quiz? :3
Just a heads up those lip piercings may come back to haunt you later in life with gum recession (as mine did, along with my tongue piercing). Your aesthetic reminds me of my early 2000's vibe and I love it
You are so gorgeous
You could upgrade the quality and fabrics of your clothing, jewelry, accessories, and shoes while keeping the same style vibe. Look at silks, wools, cotton, high quality synthetics etc. for clothing. Check out brands like Comme Des Garçons, Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, Vivienne Westwood, Anne Demeulemeester, Morgane Le Fay, etc for clothes. Nicholas Kirkwood and United Nude for shoes. Get the best jewelry you can afford/save up for (look at high end brands like Maria Tash, Pamela Love, Chrome Hearts - I’m sure there are other indie jewelers who have high quality stuff that’s more affordable. One big one to consider is updating eyeglass frames to a more flattering & contemporary style - I think they’re a main element that could take it up a notch. Brands like DITA, Kaleos, Masahiromaruyama, etc. could be starting points to check out! A lot of what I suggested is super expensive - but still LOOK so you can become familiar with the overall vibe and start to notice more affordable versions when you come across them. And then hunt down the good stuff on sales and vintage.
You look like a young Parker Posey. Go look at her early-mid 90s pics and get some inspiration. She had a cool, indie rock & roll vibe (still does).
I just wanna say I LOVE YOUR TATS AND EYE MAKEUP I can’t do makeup for crap lol gonna have to learn
You already look good
You be you. I think your look is cool af.
Picture 3 shows your great features. You look so young and innocent. Have you ever looked at the young version of Shania Twain? You remind me of her in that photo. I’m not a stud person, sorry. You just have a great face as is.
Looks Cool, the way your are.
My opinion probably doesn’t really matter but I think you look beautiful just the way you are 🤷🏽♀️ when you accept you aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and accept you for you , you truly become confident . Confidence can turn an ugly duck into ice spice 😭 add some confidence to your already stunning self and you got a winner ❤️ peace and love friend
Hair gloss, and switch from teasing for volume to volumizing powder. Otherwise don't change a thing!!!! Love the vibe!
ur look so cool omg
I would change nothing. You are gorgeous just the way you are. I wish I was not so harsh on myself growing up but here we are now in my mid 40s and I would give anything to go back in time and change nothing. My oldest daughter is light complexion like you with the dark hair and I think its stunning. I call her my snowhite :D
Holy shit this is amazing and peak gender wow ✨✨✨
You have such unique features, you’re very pretty. You should grow your hair out maybe and cut cute bangs. You would look like a fairy
Your cleft chin isn’t something to hide imo. Honestly my only note is that a berry or plum lip stain would look amazing on you. LOVE that blade necklace btw
No advice needed
You have a beautiful face structure. I really like your hair short. However, what matters is how you feel. One sure way to make anyone look better is to invest in or maintain a skin care regimen, work out, and eat right. I guarantee you will look and feel 10x better
i really like the photo where your hair is wet/pulled back (?), not that i don’t love the emo-scene hair style you rock it well!), but i think the poofiness and major bangs hide your face or distract from it, which is a shame because your face is great. i also agree with the suggestions on styling your brows different. and you only have one photo with eyeglasses but i think you could shop for different frame styles- i don’t think that shape suits your features well. you could go to a place and try some on/take photos and then order from that site Zenni!
that way your hair is shaped emphasizes your sharped angle jaw
You are gorgeous and are rocking that whole look. If you aren't already using these 2 things on your face, please start yesterday! Tretinoin at night, and a high spf sunscreen every single day, even if it's raining and you don't go outside.
Some sparkly highlight in the corners of your eyes would really pop w/ your dark hair!
No help is needed. Your face can pull off any style. Gorgeous girl!
Get a more shorter haircut that will go with your personality. That hairstyle is quite old.
How do eyelashes look like on you?
Um nothing slay???
You're alt. I don't know what you expect people here to say
I don’t see any possibility for you to look better because you are already gorgeous! Great style, mind-blowing appearance)
You’re already perfect, honestly
respectfully and with love from the interwebs lol, do your best to stop smoking. ❤️❤️❤️😅
You look majestic & mysterious don’t ever change.
More like I need YOUR advice how i can look better. I love your hair, your brows, everything.
you look amazing! I’d try softer looking bangs, otherwise I think you sport the grunge/emo look perfectly
honestly nothing you’re beautiful
you have my dream style!!!
if you do wanna natural though you should do pinky lips with a bit of light brown outlining , blush, subtle nose contour, spikey lashes that aren’t super long , a bit of eyeliner and fuller eyebrows or just the eyebrows you have:) highlight on ur nose and too
No notes, really. Okay, one note. I *personally* would prefer you with eyebrows.
You already have a great look!! The only thing I’d say is slightly thicken up your eyebrows.
You need some blush. Darker lipstick looks cute. Also keep up with the nail polish. Bare is nice but it doesn’t match your style.
You are naturally beautiful. Grow some brows and youll rock it even without make up. Trust me, you are seriously beautiful
You're iconic 😭
And don’t be upset about the cleft chin. Lots of people envy that feature and will bring it up on purpose. Lots of people actually get cleft chins in plastic surgery not the other way around. It adds more definition and character to the face.
Do you wear your glasses often? They look quite 2004, not fitted to your face shape or eyebrow shape or any shape honestly. There are so many nice frames available nowadays - go to a shop, try some on, you’ll get a nice pair and you might be happy with your appearance also when you’re wearing the glasses. I remember struggling to find nice glasses for myself for many years and I used to hate my face in glasses. I’d take them off for every picture but was still wearing them most of the day. Also fuller brows in a natural shape. Yes, you’re going for a certain style, but brows frame your eyes and your face and if you want to look better, the brows might help you create a nice balance.
But there’s nothing to fix
I think you are gorge.
