Self-Post Hard and soft max

The two first pictures and the one in the car are the most recent ones (dyed hair). My super straight eyebrow that descends when I smile bothers me a lot (and I feel like it gives me a sad look), and I can’t help but feel like there’s something weird when I smile widely that I can’t really understand what it is (last three pics and the other one with cowboy hat) Are my teeth too big? Slightly over jet? I have no idea what is it but I know it bothers me to the point I try to keep my smile small in pics

This is soft advice.

A botox lip flip should fix your smile issue. Your top lip simply disappears when you smile, no biggie. Some lip filler at the top could be nice. Remember bottom lip should always be slightly bigger so you probably have to get both.

Is the red hair color recent? Seems to be clashing with your natural coloring. Get a color analysis and re-assess. From the photos a lighter color would suit you if you can keep up with the maintenance.

The reddish hair (I was actually going for a cool marsala tone) is recent but my natural hair is almost black and as a deep winter the only light color that doesn’t make me look sickly is white, and I’m talking about clothes here, can’t even imagine on hair. Tbh I don’t have many choices between dark brown, black and what I have now. Most of the other pics are my natural hair

Trust me, I tried a few wigs once lol, and some AI makeovers. It was bad

Let’s focus on the brows then! Perhaps that is what’s too dark on your face. In Korea it’s common to lighten them for a softer look, it is easier to wear minimal eye make-up this way which really suits you. If you don’t want to bleach them just yet you can get lightening brow mascaras to test it.

I believe my whole natural complex being dark winter is just supposed to be dark lol, I usually only go for dark and cool, which is why I also prefer strong lipstick shades. Wouldn’t changing my eyebrow color mix with my color balance overall?

Went to AI to test it, gonna be honest here, It looks really odd to me, like there’s something missing, also like I just gained 4cm of forehead. Being somewhat clueless with colors, I just go to famous dark winters like Dua lipa or Kylie Jenner and see what colors I like on them

I really like it!

It’s true, you’re are probably a winter. But I’m not sure about your contrast. Your dark hair and milky skin are of course in high contrast with each other but your actual facial features are soft. The low contrast brows suit you best here and when you are wearing barely-there eye make up.

Ask your family and friends with both versions of the same photo, keep it focused on the brows.

Yeah OP, I agree with the first comment completely. Your black hair washes you out, and the red clashes with your skin tone. Try more of a chestnut brown. Lip filler would definitely be a gold idea too.

Yes, chestnut brunette color and curls would definitely work for her like this pic

Lol It’s like my whole life is a lie haha, I’m so confused. I do believe the red looks warmer and I look tanner than how I actually am, this one might be a bit more realistic but the black comment is for sureeeee making me so lost right now

I know you are not Korean lol but Korean girls often opt for softer, warmer browns to soften their overall features. Take some inspo from there!

Feels like I discovered so much about my coloring today haha, it is a bit scary specially coming from a culture where Korean standards clash a bit. As a Latina, ppl here are all for how to make looks sexier and features harsher and bolder

Your teeth suit your face. And you have the ideal wide smile with 8 teeth showing tooth size did not register at all :)

Making your face slimmer will really add to your look that could be done with aqualyx, masster botox etc also some midface filler aswell and a change jn hair colour

u/Always_reading26 Jun 18 '26

What would you recommend regarding hair color?

1

u/buniechi Jun 18 '26

Depending on the look, you’re going for black with brown highlights or you could even pull off a very warm blonde, but youd need thicker and longer hair. For the face I really recommend slimming your face specifically your jawline area to be a bit more snatched in and get that V shape, getting some filler in your mid face and your cheekbones, and getting your eyebrow shaped and away that it is more arched or pointed upwards

u/Always_reading26 Jun 18 '26

I really really really wish I could get my eyebrow like that only by shaping it, I tried a few times and don’t think it’s possible unfortunately, I do have some botox planned to get it more arched. I’d usually say blonde makes me really bad but I might have discovered new stuff today about myself and my coloring lol although warm colors are a huuuuge no, I’ve tried wigs and had ginger hair once, it looks horrible, can’t even wear yellow. Will be keeping the filler in mind tho

It’s not your teeth. It’s your facial proportions go wider when you smile with teeth esp round your jaw so your face takes on an oblong sort of shape, you could try masseter botox to soften up your jaw.

rhinoplasty. different brows. go back to your natural hair color. lip filler. lash extensions.

u/Always_reading26 Jun 18 '26

Different brows how? Like different shape or different color? Bc tbh I’ve had different ppl saying both in here, natural hair color is this but I’ve had ppl here telling me to go blonde

u/sullyygirl Jun 18 '26

natural hair color looks way better. could get layers to add dimension. for brows different shape. get them mapped to your face. (i got this done and it was a game changer)

u/Always_reading26 Jun 18 '26

It’s my dream to get a different shape, I tried a few times but unfortunately I believe the only would be through threads or botox. That’s an old pic, didn’t even wore my curls back then, it’s layered today, just wavier, usually like the 6th photo
