My question is how can i change that?? No matter what I feel like I look like a boy. I guess I have a masculine face... how can I make it more feminine? I have 0 fashion sense and know NOTHING about makeup... please any tips or advice.

I'm trying to make a change so I can be more confident... but I'll never have confidence if I look like that. I know some people who look like a brand new person with different clothes or makeup. My biggest problem is that I need long sleeves cause I get weird bumps from too much sun exposure, and I have freckles and a mole on my shoulder I like to hide. (Plus my arms are WAY too skinny. It's gross.)

Any advice for what to wear in clothes, makeup, and where to find this stuff?

About the eyebrows... I'm scared to go into a place and do that. Whenever I go in to those places I feel like people are wondering why I think they could even help.

And I'm scared they will mess me up even more.

Answer 1

Your very pretty but you don't do anything to make it stand out. Find some nice fitting tops at JC Penny or Sears, somewhere not too expensive. Find tops that are tighter at the top and shows off your small waist but a little lose at the stomach area. Tops like that make you look tall and sleek. Find pants that fit you but buy two of them... its hard to find pants that fit you well. And try to find nice bra's that holds your girls up well.
Make up, go to Macy's and get a make over, they will give you a piece of paper showing you what colors look good on you and how to apply it right. Then go to Target or WalMart and get the make up.
Your hair can use a new style. You can do a few things with short hair, try to add some high lights too...
Hope I helped you.

Answer 2

Hey I am much younger than you but I really, honestly, think that you are really pretty! Especially in the 2nd picture. All you need is some contacts to make your pretty eyes stand out, and some makeup and a really cute hair style, you'll look GREAT!!!!!!!!!! :)

For makeup, since you don't have much experience (thats ok! everyone starts out little and keeps growing! :) I would take a light brown eyeliner and draw a thin line directly under your lower lashline. But only draw it 3/4 quarters of the way in. This makes your eyes stand out and POP! Then take a liquid eyeliner with a felt tip and draw a thin line on your top lid. Then you can buy a pallet of eyeshadow (stick with neutral colors, they're the best) and swipe a neutral color on your lid. Then get a mascara and swipe on 2 coats. This is not a lot of makeup at all, and it transforms you into a gorgeous woman! :)
As for clothes, ummmm, I'm not sure I can help you in that area because I shop at places like Hollister and American Eagle which is for teens... Maybe someone else can help you out with that one! :)
Makeup brands go with Covergirl, Maybelline, or Lo'real, (you should go with covergirl and maybelline). Lo'real is more expensive and its harder for beginners to choose from.

Makeup is all about experimenting with shades and different products that make you look beautiful. I gave you a basic eye look, and you can certainly go on from here.

GOOD LUCK!

Oh, also, for a foundation buy a powder from CG may..., this will even out your skin tone with a fresh look! Ask the person who works in the area for a tone that fits you. You can find Cg and maybelline at any drugstore!

Answer 3

ok you dont have a masculine face first of all, you ahve very nice cheek bones

your hair is really nice, its straight, not frizzy but i MUST INSIST that you part it to the side, it will make a lot more of a difference...you can even get a cut and ask your stylist for side bangs and cute layers. make sure you go to a real haircuttery too, i know super cuts etc is cheaper, but really a good haircut is worth the money. maybe while your there get your eyebrows done [ makes any face look better]

as for makeup... i could explain to you a whole long tuturial here, but i suggest that you go to a makeup counter at a department store [ i love mac, but its a little expensive, you can find cheaper stuff]. anyways, the people there will help you pick out the right makeup for your face and explain how to put it on. tell them youve never really worn makeup

as for clothes... well id ont know how old you are but throw away the happy bunny shirt haha... i would ask a friend who seems to have a nose for fashion to take you on a shopping spree.. dont be embarassed either, people who love clothes, love to shop...especially for someone who is pretty and inshape like you

most of all...get some confidence, and remeber you DONT LOOK LIKE A MAN hahaha, seriously though, you are pretty and have a lot of potential

good luck :)

I think you should put a thin line of eyeliner, brown or black, and a light gold or brown hue of eyeshadow and two layers of mascara on and play up your lips. Use a deep red or mauve color and put gloss on the center (thickest) part of your lips. Go the the salon and get the stylist to style it for you so that maybe it flips out a little at the end. As for clothes, stay away from message tees. Try the new style shirts that are tight on top (like above where your breasts are) and flow way out below that. They are feminine and hide anything that you don't like. Go to TJMaxx if they have one around you. It is kinda like a thrift store, cause you have to search, but they have great, name-brand items for a really good price.

Answer 5

Personally i don't think you look bad. What i think would help you out is if you went to a hair stylist (a more expensive place) and got your hair professionally cut and colored and be willing for a change ask her what cut and color she recommends for you face and skin tone trust me she will know what she is talking about and then if you went to a makeup counter like the other girl suggested (at sephora) talk to them about it and then say i don't want to spend over X amount of dollars and then ask if they can put something together and show you how to apply it. Also you can go to just about any store and if they have manikins if you are at a total loss. Also what may help is a little pampering treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure at a nail salon and maybe an eyebrow waxing if you want to?

Answer 6

You're not as bad as you may think. Maybe consider contacts. For makeup- If you get some bronzer, it evens out the color in your skin. It makes everything look more smooth. Eyeshadow... choose a light color. Blush... choose a clor that's just barely darker than your skin tone. For clothes, observe the general styles of other people, and you can find the same kind of stuff for way cheaper at places like JCPenney, or Kohl's instead of Abercrombie and Fitch, and so on.

Answer 7

OMG that is the cutest baby ever lol. well watch makeover shows and stuff to get ideas. you could try highlights (hair obviously) and some more feminine clothes (forever 21, RUE 21, wet seal have some good ones.. they call them fashion tops i believe) if that is not your style then jc penny has some good tops. as for pants dark jeans work well with anything. you can go on youtube to learn about makeup and fashion.. thats how i learned lol (for make up).. good luck OH and i felt the same way but my friends gave me a make over

Answer 8

first of all-you're not ugly! the problem is that you lack confidence, and therefore are not giving yourself the credit you deserve. I think you should pick a day in the near future to start a whole new you. such as: the first day of school (if ur still in school...), first day at a new job, etc. by this time you could try:
*going on a shopping spree for clothes and accesories
*trying a new hairstyle
*get contacts
*set other goals for yourself like 'i will not put down myself' 'i will not call myself ugly' etc. confidence starts within
As far as clothes, etc. goes:
think about your personality and the way you think...are you shy, edgy, loud, classy...etc.? these all can be transformed into looks that represent you...but only you can decide what is fitting. however some ideas are:

top:http://wetseal.com/productdetail.asp?mi=1000&size=&style=38367038&color=10&token=

layering!!!! try a plain long sleeved tee:

and tops that fit you: ( just ideas)

or a fun tunic!

and don't forget: accesories can spruce up a dull outfit:

overall: just listen to yourself and believe in yourself. YOU have the power to change your outlook on life.

Answer 9

Start with some sexy langre,it wil help boost your confidence, and confidence is definately sexy. go to your local winners, they have some inexpensive push up brasthat i find are very attractive. Or, Lavie en rose, they are an obvious choice for anyoune looking for nice longre, and there staff can help fit you properly for best results. I looked at your pictures you may benifit from some plumping lipgloss that you can find at any shoppers drugmart or wallmart. Nails are verry sexy, and feminine, you can go to your local nail salon and get them done (fyi. the avrage price to get them done is abought 25 bucks) they can be a bit pricy so set them done to treat your self. you can play with diffrent stiles that will inhance your favorite features. good luck.

Answer 10

1] new hairdo - side or wispy bangs to frame you face, and soft layers [ don't change the color ]
2] shape your eyebrows - accent your eyes
3] learn how to use mascara[ dark brown, or brown-black ], blush [ pink or rose ], and lip gloss or color [ pink, rose, coral ]
4] buy tops in your best brights and pastels - they will flatter your face, and make your eyes sparkle - long sleeve, 3/4 sleeve, some short you can wear under a loose blouse
COOL colors:
white, pinks, cherry red, coral, lemon, mint, jade, forest, sky, royal, navy, lavender, plum, gray, black, and silver jewelry.
5] buy pants and skirts in your best neutrals - navy, gray, black.
6] buy at least one outer layer in each netutral - jacket, sweater
7] buy belts and shoes in each neutral - wear with same color slacks. Make sure shoes look like 'girl' shoes!
8] go thru wardrobe - get rid of [or store for washing car ]
all colors that aren't your best, such as the olive green T - yes, it matches your eyes, but washes out your complexion, too
Don't wear them in public any more.
9] replace them with tops in all your colors in different necklines, sleeve lengths
10] wear jewelry - silver is your best bet. Try earrings or necklace, and bracelet or ring
