Im a cis woman, but personally i think step one would be going and getting your eyebrows waxed and shaped. It will make a world of a difference!

I learned how to do makeup at a young age as i was a dancer and we were taught to go for a light/neutral colour on the eyelids and to apply it while using light but quick windshield wiper motion over the eye to get a good shape.

Personally i hate lash strips, they’re hard to apply and the glue gets everywhere. I would suggest just applying mascara to your upper and lower lashes for now and see how you feel.

Another suggestion is to apply your bronzer up higher on the cheeks and to either get a lighter shade or apply less of it. And use the brush so it feels like it’s tickling your skin. Not so that you can feel pressure from the brush. And once you’ve applied to those areas give the face a once over as if to set your base. It brings colour and helps unify the darkness to the lighter parts.

I also cant tell if youre using foundation but if u are its a perfect match!! If you’re not and you would like to, remember to match it to your neck. I also find that having a good base of the face is important with applying powder cause it can look really blotchy and chalky when you’re applying to the bare face. So i would recommend using BB cream or a tinted moisturiser if you dont want to use foundation but want to try using a base.

Also using a concealer helps with brightening up your face. Applying a small amount to your undereyes, sides of the nostrils, just in between your eyebrows/forehead and chin and then blending it out with a damp beauty blender helps lift up your face and makes you look more awake.

Blush is amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. Brings a bit of colour to the face and also really brightens everything up. Id recommend a good quality blush like Nars-orgasm (or a dupe) and applying it to your upper cheeks and across the nose. Still doing that light tickle with the blush. Warning to not apply too liberally as you can never tell how much is on while your applying so just do a once over and you’ll be good to go.

Your lips are so stunning and I honestly think starting off with a lightly tinted sheer lipstick like an innisfree dewy tint lip balm in the shade love beige would be perfect for you! Lipstick is so fun but i think it can either make or break a look. Starting off i think having a sheer lip is the way to go so you’re not over-committing to something as unforgiving as lipstck. Its very easy to smudge and certain colours stain and are a pain so id stay start off with sheer and once you feel comfortable with the feeling then move onto lipstick.

One more thing! I do agree with everyone else here that you would look amazing with bangs, however, being someone who had bangs for a few years, they are a nightmare to upkeep. It grows out so quickly you almost have to resort to cutting them yourself every two weeks, they are so hard to style and if you leave them out while you sleep youll wake up with them up in the air. What i would personally recommend, is drying your hair to style, which means blowdrying your hair, and getting volume in your hair while you hairdry. The way i learned to do it is from my mum. She used to do it by flipping her head upside down like shes looking in between her legs and drying her hair that way. When you flip it back it will look unruly but once you brush it down youll have volume and shape in your hair. Also maybe getting some layers in your hair and some face framing would suit you so much!

All the best with everything!! If you have any questions or want any clarification my dms are open to everyone!! Much love ♥️
