I'm poor as fuck but questin an /fa/ bf. I feel like if I want sort of chance I'll need to try harder. I hear you /fa/ggots have pretty high standards for your qt3.14s.

atm I have no time because design school is the consumer of any and all time I have, but over the summer, I want to spend a little more time on my appearance.

Here's my most recent photo. halp?

Do what other plain-faced girls do. Start dressing edgy and alternative and draw attention to your peacocking clothes and hair and/or tattoos. Then show your musical prowess by listening to Mars Volta and Joy Division. Don't forget to be a feminist and a graphic designer/photographer (because actual art is for the talented).

[Anonymous No.5947871]

you look qt, as far as hair and outfit goes.
I'd dye/pluck/pencil those brows a lighter shade, to match with the blonde hair.
Also, wear a foundation a shade lighter; your face seems to be a shade darker (almost as if inflamed) than the rest of your body.

I kinda like the look Cara goes for with the thick, defined brows. I mean, sure, plucking/trimming/maintaining is a must, but I'm not sure if I want them much thinner/less defined. What am I missing that she does to get that look?

As for foundation - I don't even wear it? Can you explain how it looks inflamed? Just redder?

To be fair, I was feeling pretty shitty that night and have been for the past few weeks since it's finals and all. For some reason they scheduled our intern show the weekend before finals week. Everyone looked a little trashed.

That seems to be the problem I run into the most. I know I have a good personality and I'm more understanding/agreeable with guys than most girls (simply because I've spent more time with them than girls - I actually find women far more perplexing, confusing, and downright annoying than guys). I get friendzoned a lot for being more of a fallback than a first-choice.

One friend said I should try to rock the sexy conservative librarian kind of look when my hair grows out more, since I'm like 5'10".

Her hair is darker and more ashy toned than yours, and she doesn't wear glasses. Also don't do a middle part. It doesn't suit your face shape very well.

[Anonymous No.5947965]

>>5947923
>Cara
good question, I think it has to do with the length/thickness ratio. Cara's brows are actually really sleek. They also seem to be a little sparse - you can see bits of skin showing through them, which further offsets the strength.

>face
I just sense a bit of a pinky undertone to it, that's it. I think you'd really benefit from at least a tinted moisturizer - a homologue skin tone from face to body looks extremely attractive.

I try to part my hair to the right, bt it always ends up going back to the middle part.

Also, should I let my hair darken/brown out a little more? I've been dying it blonde but I'm thinking maybe it's time to let it go to its natural dirty blonde colour?

Op you can work the blonde hair/dark brow look, but you don't have the right face shape for a middle part, and from what it looks like you might be outgrowing some bangs too. I would recommend a haircut that's far more versatile, like a side part.
>pic related
Also I would grow your hair out a bit, which can be achieved by taking vitamins and doing deep conditioning treatments and getting a haircut every 6-8 weeks (but you only want 1/4th of an inch cut off, this is to remove split ends that will stop hair from gaining length)

That's my only advice I can give just from this picture. You seem perfectly fine otherwise, but maybe try a different glasses shape, since you're face is long and thin those glasses are too bold on your face.

[KEN !Q6hhMQ2rbs No.5948004]

>>5947977
Yeah. The blonde you have is a bit buttery and unnatural looking. Something darker and more mousy or cool toned would be nice to match your eyebrows a bit better. I love big eyebrows.

You can get your part to stay by continuously parting it in the same direction every time you do your hair, esp. when it's drying. Just try to break the habit of parting it in the middle.

And it's rare that middle parts suit anyone. I think they really only look good if you're doing some pulled back look like Arwen from LOTR.

>>5947996
>(but you only want 1/4th of an inch cut off, this is to remove split ends that will stop hair from gaining length)

sounds like broscience, doesn't it grow from the other side? or it somehow senses when the end is split and inhibits growth?

No, it doesn't stop growing. Think of your hair like a rope. As time goes on, the ends begin to fray, creating split ends. If you don't cut them off, the "rope" will continue to unravel and your hair will become weak and ratty and prone to breakage.

Just go back to your natural colour, it'll match your brows best and be the least maintenance.

[Anonymous No.5948031]

>>5948012
your hair just keeps splitting and slowly decaying, canceling out the length that has grown on the other side.

[Anonymous No.5948034]

>>5948012
When split ends form, it literally splits the end of your hair into two, and continues up the strand the longer you go without a haircut. This leads to hair closes to your scalp being split. When you brush your hair, it is easier to break off the split, weakened hair pieces and obviously if your hair is splitting and breaking off when you brush it, it will never grow, or at least the damage will make it take longer to make any progress.

stop lying to the girl and saying she looks cute. She came here for help, not to be hit on by anons. Anyway, you have a nice dress on in the pic, do you dress similarly to that on a regular basis?

that or get better looking glasses

[Anonymous No.5948127]

part your hair on the side instead of the center, if you want bangs, get angled bangs.
keep your hair out of your face.

if you're trying to maximize a laidback/lazy look, just put your hair behind your ears, and pull out a layer so your ears aren't showing, pic related

you'll probably look better with your natural hair color.

makeup wise, you don't need to do a lot with your eyes while you're wearing glasses because most of it will get lost, and I think you could benefit more from lip color anyway.
just do mascara, and tightline if you're not ultra lazy
lip wise, find a good natural looking color that stands out more than your actual natural color (I like lipstains) and just put it on really fast.

Of course, you could do a lot more if you didn't want to be lazy, but this much would help you out quite a bit.

>>5948127

I was on a similar quest, OP.

the number one thing that helped was learning my body type.
the number two thing that helped was looking at lots and lots of pictures of outfits.
the number three thing that helped was experimenting and paying super close attention to what actually looked good and felt natural vs what maybe looked good but felt tryhard.

also, even if you don't buy from them, shit like yesstyle is awesome because they show the clothes in a full outfit and not just as an item.

I think the 'yes' is a reply to the initial question of whether she really wanted it. implying she never said yes/no at the time to sex but realises afterwards how she was forced into it, and ultimately accepted, due to I suppose patriarchal dominance, her submission and his dominance as natural. hence it can be seen as rape for she was subjected to an act naturalised under patriarchal order. only through becoming aware of this is she able to see the act as rape, rather than consensual.
maybe.

i think you should also change your haircut, depending on your face shape try looking at a cute short bob or a side parting with lift and wavy hair

finally make sure you have clear skin, nice makeup and maybe try some contacts depending on whether you can put up with them or not, bring out you eyes.

fashion wise i have no fucking idea when it comes to women, but follow general rules like no crazy colours clashing and no outlandish or childish prints (e.g. vidya or anime), fit is also important as always.

Honestly OP you look WAY better in the OP than the two other fit pics. Which kind of works out since it's summer and I would recommend you just keep wearing basic sundresses with bright spring colors or dark navy. Stay away from blacks since you can save all the layering and shit for winter. And as for hair I personally like it, that kind of relaxed casual style but you may think about putting it up or straightening it and unless you plan on growing it out I would get maybe an inch or two cut off and go for a bob, if you do plan on growing it out see if you can't thin it out so it will have a more "wispy" look like you want. Also I would suggest either keep dying it light blonde or maybe another brown "mousy" color like other people have suggested. Do not go back to unnatural colors or streaks like a high school weaboo and as far as I can see your eyebrows look fine and don't need to be changed IMO. Finally please learn to smile and just work on your confidence level, you should walk out of your house/dorm and feel like you are going to get some attention. I'd say you're definitely qt material.

you don't NEED to do this.
wearing black and grey all the time is stupid.

I mean, you could do it sometimes, it does look sleek, but not all the time.

There's potential. The hair pls change it. I would say def grow it out more, the blonde could stay, just go one or two shades darker. Something more natural. Keep growing it out and keep it wavy with bangs perhaps? You need to completely change both of these outfits. basics pls, neutral and basic colored v-necks to start with, maybe a military jacket, go with some skinny jeans? Nothing to extraordinary. But lose the glasses. Your halfway their.
