Beginners need advice on my everyday makeup. I have seen a lot of makeup tutorials but still can’t figure out what works best for my face so I uploaded a few photos here with comments. Please help me with some suggestions on how to improve because you can see some of them are just hideous lol.
I really like the third photo, especially the brows and eyeliner! I would keep working on the brow shape, and do small strokes to imitate hairs rather than blocked shading. You have gorgeous eyes but can definitely bring them out more by deepening the color on the outer third of the eye and in the crease, and adding a lighter/brighter shade to the middle of the eye, brow bone, and inner corner. This will create more dimension. And add mascara and smudge a darker eyeshadow to line the bottom lash line. Adding shadow to the bottom lash line will better balance the thicker line you’ve done on the top. I’d also suggest something glossier/shinier on the lips to create a plumping effect.
I think you should try blending out your eyeliner so it won’t be as harsh of a line and using a natural highlight in your inner-corner, brow-bone and cheeks to add some dimension

The lipstick in pic 1 is the pinkest and seemingly more cool-toned than that in pic-3 and i think it suits you well. I don’t think you need a fuller faceful of makeup than you already do, maybe just find the best colours for you and go from there. Try exploring pinky rosey – even raspberry – shade lipsticks without any shimmer (though maybe with some sheen or gloss?) – if indeed these cool tones work for you, they would make your features pop really nicely and therefore less need for makeup! And in that case I would pair them with subtle charcoaly eye shades in light amounts. Maybe a rosey blush rather than ‘warmer’ coral or bronze shades.
