You could look more feminine('pretty') if you fixed the tip of your nose to turn it up more and perhaps narrowed your lips(laterally) -- don't know how this could be done. And adding some volume to your cheeks -either by putting on some weight or with fillers would be feminizing. I would imagine Haworth would be a good doctor to consult with. You should not go overboard on the fillers, as your face type is lean and it would look unnatural. I agree with a previous poster about your brows--too heavy and dark. Your hair could be softer too-highlights and fullness.
I think your clothes are fine for someone your age and you have a great body.

IT IS BECAUSE YOU DRESS LIKE A TRANNY HOOKER/CALL GIRL. RED HAIR THAT IS EITHER MAROON OR BRASSY + TIGHT CORSET TOP SHORT DRESSES IN EITHER VELVET SPANDEX OR RED SATIN spandex - LOOKS LIKE A THAI TRANNY HOOKER.
If i saw you on the street I would not think knockout or beautiful to be quite honest. I would think potential to be "stunning" - if you were styled head to toe.
YOU ARE TIRESOME AND I AGREE WITH CHRISK.
1-CHANGE THE HAIR
2-CHANGE THE EYE BROWS
3-FIX YOUR NOSE
3-THROW OUT ALL YOUR CLOTHES ESP "GOING OUT" CLOTHES
*****ABOVE ALL GET YOURSELF A CBT THERAPIST!!!! YOU ARE A ENERGY VAMPIRE.
Julia summed it all up there. You look great except for the styling. Sure, get a rhino but you in no way shape or form "look like a man".

Thanks for your advice Miss J and yes that is the one thing I like about my nose as it makes my upper lip look short. Again thanks to everyone else too for the advice about what to change. Right now my hair is no longer red but the red has faded into strawberry blond mixed with brown. As for the brows, how do I fix them? I go to someone who does them and I have no idea what to do with them. Ive been getting botox to raise them, is this a mistake? Also what is your take on V line reduction? (I think this may help me)
Also to the poster who mentioned narrowing my mouth, yes yes and YES! I know I need that done but have NO clue what proceedure that is or where it is done or how (Miss J any clue?)but that def would help. As for the cheeks I had fillers in Sept but they seemed to only really last for 2 months and poof.... I was looking into fat but seems too unpredictable *sigh* Anyways thanks again! And I do not dress like that in everyday life, maybe like 10 % of the time, and those are the times im taking pics, cuz were out..... so yah

I don't see any aesthetic 'problems' with your face. I would even say you look like you could be related to Rachel Welch. Narrow mouth???? You have a WIDE SMILE which is GOOD. Personally, I think your lip would look too long for YOU (like YOU might not like it) if you had your nose tip rotated upward more. It would elicit; 'is my lip too long now?' type of fretting.
I think you just need to put a POSITIVE SPIN on the stuff you are bothered by. eg. "wide mouth" can be looked at POSITIVE wide smile. Downward rotated nose tip not looked at as "hooked" but rather something that makes your lip look nice and short. Jaw line NOT looked at as 'masculine' but rather 'assertive'. You need to reframe HOW you look at yourself because none of the things you are complaining about are really "true negatives".

Miss J the unfortunate thing is I feel really soft inside and I do see my looks as masculine, even to the point where Im worried people cant tell Im a woman (when I hear those comments) and it is really upsetting. Im thankful there are people here (and in real life too) who compliment me so there are people who see things differently, thankfully!
Miss J I was wondering if you know of any way to widen the temples or upper face. I think what i need to do is make my face slightly more heart shaped. I can either do that by narrowing the lower face or widening the upper. Any idea about what can build up the temples and widen the cheeks (my cheeks are narrow, and come in compared to my jaw)

Hi Laurad
The brows should be fairly easy to fix.
Firstly don’t go back to whoever is currently doing them as they are doing you no favors.
Next let them grow ,the nicest looking brow for your face will generally be close to your natural shape just a little tidier.
What colour are your brows naturally?
If they are as dark as in the photos lighten them at least a few shades
I know you did not like them lighter but I think that was because A. They were fighting for attention with your hair (and losing) and B. The lighter brow lacked the dramatic look that you like.
With fuller lighter brows you will still get the drama but also softness and a more natural look.
It will take some time for your brows to re-grow so while you’re waiting keep an eye out for brows you like. If there on a person ask them who they go to. Keep pictures of nice brows from magazines so you can show whoever does your brows what you want.

Laurad, I haven't been around for years and so don't have a history of your postings here. But it seems to me that you are in the top 1-2%ile and have no cause for concern. If you are obsessing over this alleged problem and genuinely distressed by it well maybe some antidepressants can take the edge off your completely unnecessary ruminations.
The angularity of your face is a large part of what makes you so attractive. I don't think you'd be happy if you messed with it more than in a very minor way.
If people are saying mean things to you, it's jealousy.
I work with special needs kids and they have said some really horrible things to me. But the next day they will say really nice things to me, or tell me things their parents have said about me. They are utterly devoid of social graces and say what's on their mind without thought for consequences. I have heard the full gamut, I have heard everything about my face, body, and personality critiqued in elaborate detail.
As to positive or negative, it depends on their state of mind, which is always in a flux, and if I have rewarded them or withheld privilege from them immediately before.
If I took the compliments seriously, I'd be insufferably arrogant. But if I took their insults seriously, I'd be a basket case. So just put the things you don't like on ignore. It should be a lot easier for you since you are so attractive. I'm more in the "ok from certain angles" bracket.
I have better things to think about. But I do confess to a smug satisfaction at some of the things they say, particularly when they compare me to other teachers, because some of those things strike me as true.

I wasn't gomna read ANY MORE of this stinkin' thread ... but having seen that Kosmeds posted, I did. WELL SAID. Now let's hope it sinks in. There comes a time when "tough love" is the right thing. Next time we see Laurad post, we may just try to say NOTHING. (and that would be a miracle for me)

I was reading in the paper about a woman who was celebrating her 105th birthday.When asked her secret to a long happy life she said:
"Be happy with what you have and don't make mountains out of molehills".
I'm trying to take her simple words to hearts and I think the planet would be in better shape if with we all did.

Laura,
I wish you could look in the mirror and see how beautiful you are. You likely have no idea how many people see in a day and wish they could look like you. I also want to say please be careful. I used to be attractive and ruined my face with cosmetic procedures. I look back at pictures and wonder WTF was I thinking. Well, now I know that it was because I was depressed and fell in the hands of surgeons that sought to capitalize on my weakness.
Looking good is important but feeling good makes you beautiful. Stop looking in the mirror if it upsets you and start hiking or somehow gleaning the beauty in this world. I know this is PS forum but you do not need PS Laura - you are absolutely stunning.
M.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I just feel like whenever I get insulted its about me looking like a man, never Im ugly or fat, etc (which I would rather actually). Maybe people are making more out of my angular features and being mean, but it still hurts, no matter how many compliments come before or follow. Im still looking into the fat grafting but I felt something was off about Trevor Born... anyone know of any good drs? I feel adding fat to my cheeks and temples may help me achieve a more heart shaped look and I wont have to mess with my jaw or chin
