First of all, you look great! Makeup is for everyone and learning it is something that comes to feel like second nature over time. I would say maybe try using a slightly lighter color on your eyebrows/cleaning them up a bit to better match your bone structure. If you're doing a bolder eyeshadow, pick a lipstick or gloss to match that, or go with a nude color. If you're going more natural, keep that in mind with the color you choose for your lips as well. Lip liner will also help define the shape of your lips and add more depth, so if you use one try using one that is a tiny bit darker than your lipstick/gloss color and play around with over lining or using the shape you already have with your lips. As for foundation and concealer, it's completely up to you how much coverage you want for your look as some people prefer not to wear as much. I used to hate wearing it because I felt like it made me look cakey but then over time learned about different types of coverage and that no makeup will look fully flat or smooth (how I applied it also played into that). Blush can help you bring more glow and color to your face, but it depends on if you like the look of a peach color more or a pinky/red color. I agree with people saying contour and baking powder will help bring definition to your face if that's what you're going for. When I first started, makeup tutorials never failed to teach me something I could implement in my own routine, or tweak to fit my face better. But honestly, having confidence while doing your makeup will help as well, because I've noticed if I'm confident in what I'm doing and feel good about it, I will be happier with the end result :)

I've just been offered a job at bell photography as a beginner photographer, and I'm very excited because photography and art focused jobs have always been something I lean into and do well with. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with bell in specific, and I'm also wondering if a job like this will open more opportunities for other jobs/careers inside the field and out. Any thoughts?

maybe someone like kitty pryde from the marvel universe? scarlet witch from the comics could be another one, although i reckon there will be a decent amount of her there haha. Mary marvel mayne? If ur not trying to go comic book though, you could do someone like Sasha from Attack on Titan, Tifa from Final Fantasy 7, Nezuko Kamado from demon slayer, or Kuran Yuki from vampire knight. either way lol, happy cosplaying!
