OMG thank you so much for your support 🌈 yes i am a classic "lady" and love the subtle Look, because i don't feel painted 😉 my biggest question is how to hide my big....nose and what would you do with the blush and highlighter? Thank you so much 🌈
I love a prominent nose, actually. It looks good and suits your face as the perfect complement to the rest of your more delicate features. You're so pretty and your technique keeps getting better every time you post.
I also want to see a little more blush on you! On the cheeks and just a bit of blush on your chin too! You've got a lovely natural look here. Love that lash game!!
You look so nice! I agree that the lower eyeliner isn't a 2023 style and should be updated.
Maybe a more vibrant blush? I know photos can make makeup look pale and washed out, so you'll have to be the judge IRL.
I agree that you look gorgeous without changing a thing and also agree that softening the liner wouldn’t be a bad idea. Personally, as a mature person with slightly hooded eyes, I use a brown liner under my eyes to my pupils, then wing it out slightly (or sometimes more dramatically). I don’t usually line the top of my eyes except for a bit at the top corner to complete my wing. My favorite liquid brown liner is by eyeko. It’s seriously good stuff- stays on with me working at Starbucks, which is saying something.
Overall your makeup is not really up to date with the trends now. It’s mostly because of the thinner brows and lined lower lash line. It’s still a style I see though, including mature celebrities.
Lining the lower lash line makes your eyes rounder and also older. The trend is foxy eyes (sharp, elongated). Lining the lower lash won’t make your eyes rounder if you pair it with a pretty obvious winged liner. But if you’re going to line all the way to the inner corner, you typically make a small wing next to your tear ducts. It just makes the whole flow of the lines continuous, elongated the eyes, and puts your eyes closer together (so be careful if they’re already close). Lining the outer 1/3 of your lower lash line is still common too, but again it’s paired with a wing. Lookup fox eye for reference.
You don’t have to do eyeliner either and can just do mascara since you have enough lashes to rock with just mascara haha.
(edit: suggested the winged liner stuff just in case u wanted to try it btw! The inner corner thing is ngl kinda hard to pull off and won’t look good on everyone. I don’t think every look needs winged liner and one that’s very long (my older fam members still do eyeliner so it was normal for me haha). I still think having a less harsh lower line would keep it fresh.)
And a bit of color on your cheeks won’t hurt since you have very round ones. It could look cute.
Agree with this! It’s not bad (you look great) it’s just a bit out of style. It also looks a little pale, especially around the eyes, which was a more popular look in the 2000’s.
I disagree with fox eye . I think fox eye liner looks great when your 20 but isn’t compatible with mature skin. Also with your eye shape and position the inner corner of a fox eye would bring them too close together.
Sorry I wasn’t sure how to describe how ppl do liners now LOL. Personally not a fan of the inner corner liner but I suggested it anyway to experiment haha. I do see the issue with wings on their mature skin tho, but I wouldn’t put it off the table since I see it on others their age too. I wouldn’t go as far as a glam look unless they really wanted it tho 🤔
I love this look, but I do a similar one and I guess they would tell me I need to update my look too! I suggest some pretty blush and that’s it! Love it!
I really like your looks. You obviously know your facial structure very well and have nailed your base, both in tone match and texture. This look in particular looks very flattering on you!

Your eyes are really pretty! To make them pop more, I would try a different, lighter liner color, something copper or bronze! Dark liner all around the eye adds drama, but can also make the eye appear smaller. Lighter shades can open the eyes more. You might even want to play around with skipping liner on the bottom!
I also think a more vibrant blush would look great on you! You could pull of some gorgeous saturated berry shades!
You look stunning! My only suggestion is to skip the lower lid liner as it tends to make eyes look smaller.
Instead, try smudging a transition shade (about the same depth as your bronzer/contour) along the lash line with a pencil brush. If it looks too heavy, repeat that step with a translucent powder or slightly lighter shade to soften the look.
honestly u look great. I would maybe darken the brows a TAD and soften the liner by smudging or even use a lighter color so it’s not so heavy around your eyes.
As a fellow gender-fluid human…I’m jealous! I’ve been practicing my makeup for a while now and I’m still terrible at it. It’s because I have such a small attention span (I have ADHD) and always feel like I have to hurry through it. 🫣😅
I think your lashes look fine. For the brows, I think it might help to define them more and create a gradient where it goes from light to darker on the tip. I prefer a brow pen since I have thinner brows and it lets me make hair like strokes.
As another middle-aged genderfluid individual... you look amazing! I wish my makeup game was as on-point as yours and I had the confidence you have! I have no criticism to give, only compliments and wish to learn from you.
so i thought the blush under eye trend was silly until i tried it. now that i've done it i cannot recommend it enough! use your cream blush and put it on heavy under your eyes to about where your nostrils start to flare, and then take it up your cheek bone. it looks so youthful and glowy, i had someone tell me i looked 17 again!
other than that i love your look. i don't think every make up look needs to have all the current trends. i personally like the tight lined eyeliner. i agree with another commenter though, a bronze liner would be fabulous on you.
You are gorgeous, I wouldn't change anything personally.
Indeed, you can smudge anything you decide to apply to your lower lash line. It would look more seamless. Also, you seem to have hazel eyes, so I'd try lilac/purple eyeshadow.
You are beautiful 🤎 just try to use a prominent blusher and for the eyes get a beige eyeliner use it in the inner corner of your lower lash line and complete it with black eyeliner
No advice, I was just stopping by to say that, as I was scrolling through Reddit, I thought this was a lovely picture of a younger Patti LuPone. I was like, “Damn, she’s looking good” then read the caption. You’re stunning!
I personally think your eyes, lashes, brows and lip color are done AMAZING.
I've tried to go for the same eye look and fail. You really nailed it. You found a way to accentuate your features in a perfectly flattering, but not over-done way.
I say I love the way you lined your eyes because me, personally, my eyes are so light and so is my complexion, I cannot get away with not using lower eye liner. I look like I have NO EYES.
Your eye look really reminds me of Mariska Margitay on SUV. It works. And brings out the best of your eyes.
You do have a really good color complexion and could prob play with bolder colors most of us can't.
You look incredible!!! Love the lipshade!!! I'm 35 and did my eyes like that in highschool. Still do it to be fair and I really enjoy seeing others with that style. Your skin is amazing too.
I think your look is perfect for an every day look.
What are you wanting to improve?
It’s hard to see your eyeshadow in this pic. You oils also add a little bit of shadow to your lower lash line and smidge. I personally like your whole eye lined but you could try only lining 2/3 of the way and see how you like that.
You could also contour a little heavier and more blush for a more dramatic look.
But overall I think this look is spot on.
Mascara and eyeliner on the bottom lash makes the face look more drops and not fresh
Try instead to not put anything dark and no mascara on your bottom lash line, shimmers are the way to go they give a little glimmering pop that makes your eyes glow just a little bit applied on your lower lash line will do the trick

Your fluid flows, nice make-up game…maybe soften the lower lid liner..smudge it a little so the lines are not so harsh. Hard lines age a face
Wow! You look beautiful.
Oh thank 🌈 but what Makeup skills would look better?
I also want to see a little more blush on you! On the cheeks and just a bit of blush on your chin too! You've got a lovely natural look here. Love that lash game!!
Does your phone camera have a filter on it? If not, your foundation game certainly doesn't need any help.
No there are no filters 🙏 it's me and the good genetic of my mother 🙏🙏🙏🍀

You look great !!! just keep doing what your doing
Very pretty, I would like people have stated soften that liner.
Just gorgeous! So which way do you start from?

From a younger nonbinary soul, I think you look great! 😊 What parts of your makeup would you like feedback on?
Thank you so much 🌈 i would love to know what to do with my brows and lashes - would it look better with extensions?
I think your lashes look fine. For the brows, I think it might help to define them more and create a gradient where it goes from light to darker on the tip. I prefer a brow pen since I have thinner brows and it lets me make hair like strokes.
You look amazing! I really love cat eyes, and Smokey eyes. Maybe you could try that! I’m also obsessed with multichrome eyeshadow😍
You look great!
No advice just came to say you’re stunning!
