That one moment i can look in the mirror and feel really pretty and that i look great.(like how my eyes are so stunningly blue, my freckels arent hideous to look at, my red hair is a mysterios shade of reddish blonde, and my skin isnt that white) Then i look in the mirror the next moment and for some reason feel ugly, (like how my eyes are too close together, the bags under my eyes thta i cant control, my freckles are big brown blotches, my nose is way too big, and i have the worst teeth ever)
ive been wondering about that................... its just when i look in the mirror then a second later look again and my thoughts and feelings change.

Because most of us suffer from some type of body dysmorphia where we see things on our body not as they are - or think they are horrible and wish for other things, etc - the grass is always greener on the other side concept.
Most women - if not all do this. Red hair, freckles with pale or not pale skin is very attractive and actually many models have these features. We all have days where one minute we think we look great and then the next, we are like...hmm, wait, what's that - it didn't look like that a minute ago. That is normal.
You may want to work on your self confidence though just to make you feel better. Say nice things to yourself in the mirror, tell yourself that you are beautiful just as you are and that you accept all of you and love yourself. This can help - do it every day when you wake up - We all have things we wish we could change - weight, height, hair color, build, complexion, etc - but we can't for the most part. We are all different and that is what makes us special - that you are you and look like you do. You are one of a kind so appreciate that and love it and just know that if your nose looked ok a minute ago, your nose is the same - but your vision of yourself is what has changed so that is what you need to work on - not on your unique features that make you - you.
Love you, tell yourself it - you are beautiful and one of a kind. Freckles are so cute - I think they are attractive. Teeth that aren't perfect can be cute too you know - look at Jewel or Lauren Hutton - red hair is awesome & probably looks great with a skin tone that is not too white - I am sure. There are some things you can try to do about the undereye area if you want but that is genetic for the most part. Believe me - I know; I get circles though not bags. But just to let you know, tea bags, cucumbers and Preperation H (yes the cream for hemerrhoids) reduce bags under eyes- celebs use that last one - it is supposed to work miracles cause it is an antiinflammatory I guess. I am sure your nose is not huge and even if it is - it's yours and it was made with your face so learn to accept it as beautiful which I am sure that you are. For the most part, we will all have these things - that we want to change and even try to but in the end nothing really works, I would never get plastic surgery so I had to start to learn to love and accept me and over time you will too - you are beautiful and a one of a kind you - special so give yourself a break and enjoy being you. :o)

Do you feel beautiful when you walk down the street, smile at someone or are just being yourself? I have found (after years of selfconsciousness) that you just gotta believe you are fantastic and then let yourself shine, because everyone around you will respond to the image you put out there.
Ever find that you are attracted to someone who may not be a 10 on your list, or even make your list at all? Attractiveness can be a combination of looks and personality, some times it's even 1 part looks and 9 parts personality. So when you have a low moment, forget about it and just shine!

It has ultimately depend on your mood when you look at the mirror. If you are feeling lousy before looking at the mirror, no matter how good the make up & outfit you put on u will feel that something is not right.
it is about the mind that matter here. Just keep yourself happy and everything you do will be fine. Talk to your friends & family so you will feel good.

Don't worry,your not the only one that does that. The other thing that I do is some times when I get dressed ,do my hair and make up, I think I look pretty good, then as soon as I go to the mall or whatever, to me it seems like EVERYONE looks better then me,clothes, hair, everything, then I think I look fat and stupid and just plain horrible. I get shocked when people tell me that I'm pretty,I say thanks, but in my head I'm thinking EWWW how can they think I look pretty?! I have to keep telling myself that looks are not what is important,it's how you treat everyone and your personality. Anyways, try not to worry about it.

I faced that all the time... I guess cos sub consciously, we are comparing ourselves with the models we saw on tv or on magzine and we are comparing them with ourselves. that when we looked at the mirror the 2nd time.. we are so unsure of ourselves.. another reason is that we are too perfectionist, becos if we are not, we will not look at the mirror the second time when in the 1st place, we thot we looked wonderful.. i guess this is nature and it is built in many of us... just want to say to be contented w ourselves cos we are real ppl... models and posters gals and boys are not....

Lighting could be a factor. Or most of the time, it's in our minds. Other's don't notice the little details we notice so it's no big deal.

It has something to do with your confidence level and what type of horomoans your body is producing! These are constantly changing which could explain your situation!
