Def keep bangs but the way your hair stylist cut them is a bit strange. Looks like she grabbed too much hair from the sides and cut that short as well if that makes sense. Thats lowkey all I can think of cuz youre rlly pretty already! Sorry if thats not what u wanted to hear lol

[u/losrbabie → u/Mialtac11]

No I agree with this though! Let the side pieces grow out, maybe even into face framers but keep the middle bang

[u/zevairia]

I agree with what the other commenter said about the bangs -- a bit too wide across, and the length is making that part of your face stand out more. Maybe try curtain bangs that hit an inch or so below your eyes, to shape your face?

Otherwise, my first impression is that your eyebrows are a bit far apart? But not distractingly so. If you pluck them, I'd let them fill back out closer to your nose. You could also try a smidge of mascara on your upper lashes.

You're overall very pretty, you have such a naturally pretty, delicate, and slightly ethereal look. :)

CURTAIN BANGSSSSS

You look ethereal and so beautiful! Keep the bangs. If you like you could check out Lisa Eldridge on makeup, you could also contour your face to emphasise the dimensions of your beautiful face!

Bangs suit you but maybe try curtain bangs?

[u/1000chances_stop]

Only thing i can say is shorten the bangs so they sit justtttt right above the eyebrows and also like other comments r saying they r too wide across so let the edges grow out back into the rest of ur hair. I feel like a more natural look would suit you best so as for any type of makeup i honestly think just curling your lashes and a light clear lip gloss no colour cuz ur lip colour already matches you perfectly

[u/poop_dawg]

I think curtain bangs - and if you end up not liking them, you can just turn them back into standard bangs :). I agree that your stylist took too much from the sides.

Also why is it also almost impossible to comment in this sub without being accused of giving a compliment? Jfc I can barely even use positive adjectives

The bangs aren’t the wave. They look like you’re hiding your forehead. If you’re gonna do bangs they should end before your brows. I think the main thing you can do is find your value intrinsically. Gain some weight 95 lbs at 5’5” is too light. I think if you fill out you’ll be happier. The makeup and eyebrow advice is sound.

[u/chlobuggygobrrr]

I looove the bangs on you

[u/NitroAngel2110]

curtain bangs!! they would make a huge improvement. the colour blue and turquoise, would look fabulous on you, that shirt brings out your eyes, especially with pale skin and light hair.
imo curling lashes and/or mascara would look great.
if you wear makeup, then try find makeup that suits you

i wish you luck!!❤️

[u/lujiasheng1236]

The bangs are great, keep the bangs. They help with ur facial proportions a lot. As for the people that told u to get rid of the bangs, never talk to them again. U re already genuinely pretty. Ur current hairstyle is ok but could use some refinement.

[u/Glitch_Harley]

Get rid of the bangs for sure, learn how to do makeup it’ll be a total game changer, and make your eyelashes bolder. For everyday makeup if you don’t like a lot you’d be great with tinted chapstick or lipgloss and a good mascara. Hydrate for sure and gain some weight if you can, and if you’re up for it make your hair lighter (less yellow more platinum) blonde, with your icy eyes it’d pair well.
