I need some advice on how to look better. I feel that my body is good except for my face. I do not like my face. Sometimes I feel that it is ok but it depends on my hair. I got my hair cut at a salon with curtain bangs, and its fairly long (waist length). I got the curtain bangs because I've seen other girls in my grade with it. The days following the hair cut I felt pretty and I liked my face. But, when I washed my hair a couple days later the problem began again. I've tried styling it like the salon lady but it has now worked or looked the same. I have thin straight/wavy hair. At the top it's very flat and it does not accentuate me at all. I have a normal or slightly bigger forehead, big eyes, regular nose, and thin lips. Moreover, certain hairstyles like 2 dutch braids or ponytails look decent on me but I feel like my ears look too big so I dont wear them often. I mainly have my hair down which I think makes me look like a witch because it gets frizzy and like I said looks very flat at the top. I have no volume at all on my hair. Another problem is my eyebrows. I have thick and big eyebrows but I do not know how to style them or paint them either. I'm also not good at makeup all I know how to do is mascara and blush I dont even know how to use eyeliner. I've never been into make up much either way. I got my makeup professionally done once for this event I had to attend and I liked my face that day. But the problem is I do not know how to style my face to accentuate it. I also feel that when I like how it looks in the mirror, the camera makes me feel uglier. I also have braces to fix my smile and I think when I get them off it could help me.

I want more than this
I'm very ambitious and I crave challenges. I'm 15 and in highschool so I take the hardest (they're not really that hard) or most advanced classes I can. I've be...
Learn to love the face you have. You have to live with it for the rest of your life. You are probably more hard on yourself than you need to be.
That being said, if you want more volume in your hair I recommend shortening the length. Right now it os very long, which weighs it down and makes it look flat on the top. Bangs will hide a large forehead. Ask someone (you can probably go to a salon and ask for help, or just someone you know who does it well) to teach you how to groom your eyebrows and do your makeup.
ReplyDid you know that you actually see yourself differently to everyone else? I always thought that was trippy.anyway focus on brows coz they do a lot for your face and can be a pretty awesome feature, especially if you feel you've got a bigger forehead. It focuses the eyes towards your eyebrows and eyes themselves. Look up videos on eyebrow styling. But also remember you won't look like you came straight out of a salon everyday and you need to be happy with how you look. Don't compare yourself against others too much, it's not healthy.
ReplyI don't have any tips for you. A lot of products can serve a lot of different people, but you must try each and everyone to figure out what works best for you.
I know everyone else is telling you to accept the face you have, but me personally, I don't want to settle for less since it causes me pain and loneliness.
ReplyDoing your hair and makeup in a flattering style is a skill that you can learn - there are thousands of tutorials online, an entire industry geared towards manufacturing consumer porducts that can tint, smooth, volumize all our flaws away... I'm sure you could find a beauty routine that works for you.
But it really made me feel sad for you to hear how much you put youself down.
In this post, you have criticized your face, your hair style, its texture, your forehead, eyes, nose, lips, ears, eyebrows, and your braces.
What a drag to constantly hear so many criticisms from yourself. Imagine some person chattering over your shoulder, picking fault over every little thing about your appearance! It would be maddening! Why do this to yourself?
I promise that nobody else thinks as much about what you look like as you do yourself.
I used to spend time looking in the mirror, disliking the size and shape of my nose, but I realised that I would have to hate myself a lot to spend thousands of pounds to have a cosmetic surgeon smash my face with a hammer to change it - and then I wouldn't even look like me any more. So I solved my problem by refusing to criticize my own appearance. It took effort, but I quit bein a bully to myself. I stopped comparing myself to others. I realised that I actually didn't have trouble finding people who liked my face enough to want to kiss me.
Some people really enjoy wearing make-up, and trying out different hairstyles, and finding creative ways to alter their looks. But you won't be happy with yourself unless you're equally comfortable with your natural features. You're beautiful and you just don't know it.
