Okay, need help with makeup.
This is my regular, day to day look. Usually foundation, a bit of blush and face countoring and eyeliner, sometimes I wear mascara. I bet lots of you saw this picture but i'm putting it up. For the upper lip I use a foundation that is a shade darker than my skin and it covers the lil bit of redness or gray that is there while I don't finish lasering it. Ah right, there is also the powder over the foundation.

This is before I left for a party a couple of weeks ago. Though my daily routine is good enough, I think my makeup skills for events are lacking. . For the eyes I used brown eyeshadow and covered it with black eyeshadow, it created a nice shiny effect (if only you could see it lol) mascara and eyeliner. Unfortunely I can't do away with the glasses yet, so it covers eyeshadow a bit The rest of the routine is alike, only I used a bit more blush than I would and had my hair straightened. The lips are done with foundation and a rose nude lipstick.
Since this was a while ago the haircut is different, it is a bit neater looking now. Anyway here goes.

I like this pic. best :)
Your make up scheme actually looks pretty good for the most part :) You've accented your eyes and face shape nicely without over doing it... I would however recommend a deeper shade on the lips... Something in the wine, burgundy, maroon or berry with a matte finish kinda thing :) This will balance out your look by accenting your smile without being garish or glaring
Hope that helps :)

I think Virginia Marie has pretty well summed it up. You look great. Have you thought about glasses in a similar style with a coloured frame? That could halp balance the colour spread too.

Well girls, thanks then !
I suppose I will see youtube videos and slowly perfect things :). I don't know what is going on with me, I think gender dysphoria left me with some kind of mental trauma, because I constantly see myself as being ugly, though these days I have stopped seing my face as masculine finally. I still see some signs that bother me, but not as much as to cause dysphoria.
I constantly try to have better makeup but it seens it is never enough.
