I am 31 years old but I feel like I look 10 years older but I can’t tell why (other than my square jawline which I cannot change😓). I feel like I look older than I actually am.
I normally don’t use foundation but when I do, I use the ItCosmetics nude glow cc cream and Sheglam liquid blush. Should I do contouring?
I’d appreciate some constructive feedback about the way I do my makeup.
Edit:
Hi everyone, thank you for all the tips.
A few things to clarify:
- my hair is naturally this dark, I do not dye it.
- my eyebrow hairs are dark and long, but sparse in some areas, hence why I fill them.
- I do not line my lower lashline, my eyelashes are naturally very dark. Would tightlining with a white liner help?
- I am warm toned, my skin tone leans more yellow and I tan in the summer. My veins are a mix of green and purple if that helps.
- I do dress more corporate goth/alternative/gothabilly intentionally, hence the darker colours/makeup but there were some good points mentioned:
- I should overline my upper lip a bit to match my lower lip, because the way it is it’s pulling my face downward and having an “aging” effect.
- Apply more blush and bronzer on the side of my cheekbones. I am not applying enough.
- Ditch the thick eyeliner, especially on the lids since my eyes are small and hooded.
- Use a dewy face base and a dewy setting spray (I always skip this step).
- Curl my lashes so they look more lifted.
- Although not a makeup tip, ditch the bangs/haircut. I am considering it only because it was repeatedly mentioned that the bangs accentuate my square jawline and that is one of my biggest insecurities. But I got so used to the bangs and they’re easier to “style”, so I am a bit hesitant but willing to try. I do not want to dye my hair because it is already very dark and I do not want to bleach it.
Let me know if I missed anything else. Thank you to everyone who commented! I appreciate the help!
