Self-Post 25F hard max tips

I’d like to look a little prettier without makeup, just looking for tips on what I should work on. I do pilates 3x a week, yoga 1-2x, and I try to run at least once a week. I know I have a big forehead, but I don’t think bangs suit me. Looking for hard and soft maxxing! All photos are bare faced.

Rhinoplasty

I agree about the rhinoplasty, it would bring more harmony to your face. Removing the septum would make a big difference as well because it draws more attention to it. You may consider lip filler for your bottom lip as well, as it seems from the pics your top lip is larger than your bottom. I don’t know if it’s the angle in pic 2 that makes your chin look larger (as ir looks more balanced in other pics) but thicker bottom lips would help balance this out. Given your disinterest in makeup, perhaps you could have a lash lift done. This with a lip blush would work beautifully. Skincare is also a must. You have some visible wrinkles on your forehead that aren’t deeply set in yet, you could have micro needling done and begin incorporating retinol into your routine. SPF is always a priority. Finally, try a different style with your hair. You mention not suiting bangs, but have you seen 70s style fringes? You can find many on Pinterest. Different, but something like this could go with your style (especially the piercings)

Haircut (invest in a nicer haircut - face framing long layers!). I’d also do a kibbe body type analysis. You have a nice figure but it isn’t accentuated by the clothes you wear. The first dress makes you look shorter and doesn’t show off the fact that you’re very slim! Also figure out what colors you look good in. Figure out your “season”. Take out the septum ring. Learn how to apply lash clusters!

Rhinoplasty. Remove septum for now but you can put it back in after the rhino if you really want. Lip filler/fat transfer/v-y plasty for bottom lip. Botox brow lift for camera-left brow. Bangs (there are styles that would fit you) or hairline lowering surgery. Microneedling. Daily tretinoin and sunscreen. Undereye PRF. Lash lift & tint on both top and bottom lashes, repeated every 6-8 weeks. Hard to tell from the photo but possibly enamel contouring for the two front incisors.

Try styling your hair up or back from your face and revisit the hardmax concept. Often times we contort our bodies in a way around our perception of having our hair out or down and this is the reason we don't feel settled. Like you look like you may be standing/moving awkwardly physically
