YOU look OK but you would look really pretty if you smiled.

I feel like i'm turning into my nan writing that - i admit that i never smile in photo's though as i hate the way it makes me look!

:yes: couldn't agree more - you have a good image - nice hair and great features - but the scowl doesn't do anything for you - smiling is the way forward - and yes I also sound like my nan!

I'm on team smile here. Most people look 10x better smiling in pictures, and you will look 10x more confident aswell. :thumb:

You look perfectly fine but I agree that you need to smile

Smiling makes a big big difference in how you look

And your hair is lovely - I want my hair to get to that length and soon get a fringe like yours. T'is cuteness

I do like your hair (it's quite similar to mine actually so I could be a bit biased :razz:) but I reckon you could carry off a funky, choppy style, maybe shoulder-length. Sometimes making a change to your hair can work wonders on your confidence too. Why not have a consultation with a hairdresser (they're usually free) and see what they suggest? When my boyfriend broke up with me, I went and had my fringe cut in - it was quite a dramatic change for me but boosted my self esteem loads to know I'd been brave enough to do it. Plus the compliments I got on it helped a bit too!

One thing that I have found can help improve the way I feel about the way I look is to have a good look at others. Like in the gym changing room. (Don't stare of course, that could get you into all sorts of trouble!). But see other women's body's. Not just the super fit ones. But the saggy ones. The dimply ones. The scarred ones. The flabby ones.

Or like today on the tube it was really crowded and I was feeling self conscious about my skin and I looked at lots of people's faces and saw that quite a large percentage of adults have some type of skin complaint and blemishes.

Looking at other people's good parts and bad parts helps me feel better about myself.

Kimmeh you look very nice but when wearing black, try and smile a bit more. Don't wear black if you're having a down day - wear something more colourful like that nice red top. That will make you feel better anyway, because rich colours have a happier look about them.

Best,

Nowt wrong there, you look really nice :thumb:

Your makeup could do with some improvement and a smile would also make a better impression.

You're not bad, imo.

I like your hair, and you need to smile more... really... you look great

You actually look a bit like my girlfriend. she even had a hairstyle a bit like yours, though she's just had it cut to just above her shoulders lately.

Honestly, you just need to cheer up a bit more, that's all.
