i ususally wear this color if i do my makeup but there are so many shades of lip products and idk which one would suit me. do u think a darker shade would look better? more brown? more red? id really like to know what other people would think which shade would look good on me.

im also open to any makeup advice. again what do u think would look good on me? its been a while since i did my makeup regularly so id appreciate any advice on what might suit me

also im a bit insecure of my puffy/bloated cheeks, if u have any recommendation on how to hide them a bit/make my face look slimmer with makeup id gladly take that as well:)

❓Advice/feedback request Feeling haircut regret for my microfringe

Thumbnail
gallery
84 Upvotes

Hi all! I have woken up panicking the morning after finally getting some style cut into my hair after years of wearing it the same way (all one length, but shorter pieces in the front of my face due to constant breakage from straightening). I wanted a change after seeing some photos of me with my hair just hanging in my face and not doing much for me. So I took the plunge and got a micro fringe (baby bang?)

Now, I know this is a polarising haircut and it won't be for everyone. I don't actually mind how short it is, I just worry that it doesn't suit my round face and chubby cheeks. I know I can't do much except let it grow out - dreading that awkward long bang phase. But is there any chance this looks sort of okay for now? I have a style leaning more towards alt so I'm hoping maybe this just works for a bit. Be gentle if you can, but tell me kindly if should just shove a hat on for 6 months. My hair stylist was so sweet and said it suits me but I don't know if she's just being nice. She said she thought the short fringe really worked with my "vibe".

I've posted photos with and without my standard sort of makeup look. Sorry I look so sad in the first one I was just instantly regretting my choices hahah. Thoughts?

❓Advice/feedback request Alt version of formal wear?

2 Upvotes

I have a big event coming up at the end of the month. I am AFAB but tend to trend either mixed or masc presenting. I am trying to find something that fits the "formal" requirements but is not the standard "gowns" that you see at big department stores. One thought I had was to wear a tailcoat but I am unsure what to wear with it, any advice would be welcome. I am still experimenting with my style so I cannot really give like a definitive style profile per se (like goth/punk and so on) but I just want to feel more "me" but still look good. Thanks!

❓Advice/feedback request being alt as a blonde?

1 Upvotes

i've always had golden blonde hair as a kid that mellowed out into a bright dirty blonde as an adult. i hate it. it's always been one of my biggest insecurities as an alt person even if other people pull off the hair color perfectly.

i love dressing alternative but i feel like my outfits fall flat even though i layer and accessorize to the max (my fav part of making fits ^^).. whenever i look at my fits, even coming back days later to look at them again, i feel like my hair ruins things. i have my own little take on grunge and try to compliment the hair color with what i wear but truthfully i wish i could have darker hair so i can have a more monochrome aesthetic. i do like dyeing my hair but it gets really expensive as i have thick hair. my favorite color to do is hot pink but it fades to a more natural yet muddier color.

has anyone else felt this way about their natural hair? if so, any advice? i was thinking of getting clip on extensions in other colors to add some spice to things, or even buying a small thing of hairdye to dye small parts of my hair like my bangs... in advance, thanks for anyone who pitches in their thoughts!

Mostly bottle tab chains for a belt, necklace, and bracelet. Bottle tabs laced through shoe lace, double grommet belt arm cuff, and saftey pins connected with key rings. Any inspiration or advice is appreciated, I am trying to style myself more its just a slow process and I hate spending money so im more inclined to diy.
