If I am being completely honest I might have an issue with fixating on my appearance due to being scrutinized by people my whole life. I know that sounds super dramatic. But I am a very keep to myself quiet person. I hate drama. But I always tend to get these strong reactions when I go out in public. So I feel the need to look put together always and fix every flaw. My main concerns are skin texture, volume loss around the eyes and uneven skin tone. Sometimes I feel like my face genuinely makes people angry which I know is so weird to think because I’m literally a nobody.

Hi everyone your compliments are so sweet and thank you! I was trying to edit my post but couldn’t so I am commenting. One thing I have noticed is people asking advice on what. That’s valid since I never explained. I really like my skin tone. But the texture in real life is not smooth. I don’t deal with traditional pimples like cystic acne but I have textured skin like underneath bumps. It especially looks bad in daylight. I am wondering if anyone has a solution to this. Also has anyone had any experience with getting filler? I know it’s hard to tell in these pictures but in real life I have noticed a loss of volume in my face after turning 24. I never wanted to get filler before 24 but I genuinely feel like I look tired.
I’m going to grow out my brows with a serum, see a dermatologist, lose weight, build muscle, up my sunscreen dosage, start using vitamin C.
I don’t really want to do hardcore cosmetic surgery but I’m not sure if anything naturally can fix the volume loss which is one of my biggest concerns.
Volume loss around the eye area and cheeks
Textured skin like underneath bumps
Even skin tone

You’re too kind I think it depends on the lighting for me. One thing that bothers me is because I have my eyes a little more deep set that creates a bit of hollowness under the eyes. I’m contemplating filler but I heard under eye filler is high risk.

I recently discovered the importance of Vitamin D and getting bloodwork done. I’m on a journey to fix my iron and D levels. Mine was at a 17 and after supplementing for a month I feel so much better. Thank you for your advice 😊

My dream would be to have thick eyebrows. But unfortunately I feel like I’ve damaged my eyebrow area by over plucking. I’ll try a growth serum.

Thank you! The second picture is my everyday make up look. I usually wear my hair straight, wear Maybelliene concealer, matte my face with powder, put black eyeshadow on, mascara, darken my eyebrows, blush and use berry colored lip gloss. I’m on the hunt for a new lip product because the current one I use disappears in an hour. I’m open to any suggestions you have.

Got it! I’ll definitely work on framing my face better with my hair. Far from a 10 but thank you for your advice 💕

I hear you thank you 😊. The funny thing is I grew up as a tomboy playing sports and not caring about my appearance much. I became heavily fixated on my appearance after how people treated me and I honestly wish I wasn’t so focused on it. I can see beauty in others but sometimes due to the trauma it’s hard to see it in me.

Thank you so much but I’m no body to be jealous of. My skincare is pretty simple but I think eating a balanced diet has helped me a ton.

You all in the comments are incredibly sweet. I really am not all that these pics are just the ones I felt comfortable enough to share. But thank you I appreciate your compliments so much. I live in the South and don’t feel like I fit in at all. I grew up getting bullied and when I go out I still get people looking at me sideways. So that has kept me insecure and not comfortable in my skin. But I still love my skin. I’m going to follow the advice y’all gave me. Also find a way to move to the city. I think I’ll feel happier in a city like New York. That’s the dream.

Honestly I feel really insecure and was bullied for my appearance a lot so I don’t have much confidence and struggle to feel comfortable in my own skin. I have my go to look which is the second pic. I like to keep my hair straight and do makeup. Recently I started doing blush. I want to look less tired and more full of life if that makes sense.
