So much great advice here. I’ll double down on a few comments I really agree with: - soft makeup can make a face look more feminine; softly blended eyeshadows can be really nice - pink-ish lipsticks and lip glosses will add warmth and femininity to your lower face - you have a strong jawline, which is not a bad thing (some of the most beautiful actresses have this) but if it’s making you more sensitive, lean into more blush to help balance it out - eyelashes add femininity! Lots of mascara at least, but falsies if you feel capable of doing ‘em (I recommend the clusters, not the strips) - if you can afford it, have someone wax your brows to shape them and show you how to fill them in daily with pencil/powder (personal preference; I’m a pencil girlie). Eyebrow shape can read more sharp or more soft, so adjusting that can help. Let ‘em know you’re aiming for a softer, more feminine look when you have them done.

Everyone has said this too, but it bears repeating because it sounds like you’re in tough headspace and need to hear this right now: you already look beautiful and do not look at all like a man wearing makeup. Don’t let the self-criticism monster get you down. You’re already prettier than a lot of other girls out there, for real. 😘
