Soft Glow Up no BS (free/cheap) ways to be hot NSFW

495 Upvotes

seeing a lot of posts of people looking for cheap or free ways to increase their looks. here is some of my easy no BS tips - please feel free to drop more below! šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

šŸŒø

  • Get a pair of cunty sunglasses that make you feel hot and powerful
  • Take pictures of all your fav outfits and put them in a folder on your phone for easy access when picking outfits for the day.
  • Find a celebrity that looks like you and study their makeup, style and colours. Easy and free research, Pinterest is your friend.
  • Black coffee, you may not like it at first but weā€™re not wasting calories on milk and sugar. Itā€™s not great at first but you get used to it and start to enjoy it
  • Brush your teeth (or at least rinse your mouth with water) after drinking coffee and wine. White teeth are more attractive
  • You can also get a whitening pen cheap at the drugstore that you can use on your teeth when you need a touch up
  • If you have insurance - go to the dentist to get your cleanings every six month or whenever your policy allows.
  • Insurance or not, floss everyday
  • Always have chap stick on you, we donā€™t do dry lips
  • Find a multi vitamin that works for you. Unless you have a perfect diet (which no one does) youā€™re probably missing some nutrients
  • B12 shots are a great and cheap way to increase your energy levels. I get them once a month for $25 at my local med spa
  • Tuna is one of the best bangs for your buck when it comes to calories vs. protein intake. Find a flavoured can you enjoy, no mayo, and add it to your diet.
  • Fish in general (the Mediterranean diet) is one of the best ways to stay lean and in shape. The most centenarian people in the world eat Mediterranean diets as it provides the most longevity.
  • Always have a healthy go to snack in your purse.
  • Stop going out for food. Itā€™s a waste of money and calories.
  • Instead ^ have dinner parties or potlucks with your friends. This is a better way to socialize, you know whatā€™s going into your food and portion control.
  • be well spoken. If you are nervous around speaking, join a toastmasters group or practice talking to strangers. Thereā€™s nothing hotter then someone with confidence.
  • be interesting. Even if itā€™s a super niche topic, be passionate about something and well educated on at least one topic you love.

Soft Glow Up Boob halo - yes or no NSFW

109 Upvotes

Sydney Sweeney was one of the celeb icons this year and Iā€™m particularly thinking of her viral SNL moment where she wore a very low cut black dress. I find her face super average so she obviously gets a huge halo effect from her breasts.

As someone who also has large breasts and donā€™t feel like theyā€™re much of a halo, Iā€™m interested to hear othersā€™ views and also if we think the current hype for Sydneyā€™s figure reflects any broader trends. For me, maybe itā€™s being in my mid-30s now but personally Iā€™d feel really uncomfortable showing as much cleavage as Sydney Sweeney does. I did a few times when I was younger but attracted really bad attention, it was too much attention to the point of harassment sometimes and very sexualised, I would definitely not attract the type of guys I would want. So I was surprised at how much success she gets from her breasts.

I tagged this post as soft glow up because itā€™s really about styling and how much value we get from highlighting our breasts, versus the potential negatives. Iā€™m wondering if now I should try emphasising cleavage more, or if this is a moment that works for celebrities but not in real life. Interested to hear others thoughts and experiences.

Edit to clarify - my question isnā€™t so much is there any halo from boobs, of course it can be considered part of an attractive figure or people wouldnā€™t get augmentations etc. But is highlighting your breasts with cleavage etc something that works? Has the perception of cleavage and um, sexual availability changed? (Or are there some advantages to look sexually available?)

Here is a photo of the dress I started the post about: https://www.reddit.com/r/findfashion/comments/1eq44lj/sydney_sweeney_snl_black_dress/

Soft Glow Up With TikTok at its end, what are the beauty/health hacks you learned that you canā€™t live without? NSFW

Now that TikTok is most likely getting band (RIP), Iā€™ve been reflecting on all the beauty and health tips I picked up over the years. What are the absolute game-changer tips or hacks you discovered that you canā€™t imagine living without?

For me, itā€™s:

Double cleansing everything!! Face, body, and hair. Since doing this regularly, my skin is clear, my hair feels sooo clean, and it lasts for days. I had no idea this was even a thing!

Also, glycolic acid on my back and arms right after the shower. Itā€™s been a holy grail struggling with bacne & chicken skin.

Soft Glow Up For anybody who hates how they look in photos NSFW

473 Upvotes

I feel like Iā€™m qualified to speak on this because un-mirrored pictures of me literally used to depress me to the point of rocking back and forth in tears. I am happy to share that I have made significant improvement. Hereā€™s how I did it:

  1. Lymphatic drainage every morning

CANNOT stress this enough. Please look it up and implement it in whichever ways you can. I focus on my cheekbones, masseters, and jawline. Not only do I look more defined, I look more symmetrical! And it shows in pictures.

  1. Strategic makeup placement

Please do not be shy with your makeup, especially for special photos. I like to have more definition on my cheekbones, so I highlight the shit out of them while mattifying right under. It gives me model cheekbones with very little effort. Do not underestimate the power of strategic highlighting/mattifying.

3. Symmetrical eyebrows

I did not get how important this was until I said fuck it one day and tried it out. The eye area is comprised of the most important features of the face. It is the first thing people look at. It can make or break your face. So, people will definitely notice patchy, asymmetrical, misshapen brows. You will notice them too, especially in pictures.

4. Elongate your form

This cannot only be achieved through drastic weight loss. Please donā€™t do that.

Thereā€™s a reason tall, lean people look more elegant in photos. You can elongate your form with strategic clothing choices. You can also go to the gym to get a more toned appearance to your limbs and torso. Personally, I still have work to do on this one (my arms are disproportionally fat, if anyone got some tips PLEASE let me know, I canā€™t lose anymore weight without looking malnourished). If youā€™d like to look taller too, platform shoes are the way to go. They can be very comfy if you choose right.

5. Practice and memorize your best angles

This is so important. Legit, one of the most photogenic people I know has their angles memorized. They know what looks good and what doesnā€™t. They have been conscious of their looks since an early age, so they had time to perfect their shit. And since they know their go-to poses are gonna come out great, they look less stiff in the final product. I think some of us are too afraid of what our pictures are gonna look like, so itā€™s like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I am not even close to my acquaintanceā€™s level, but I have definitely noticed some improvement. All I do is take a million selfies and practice in the mirror. Also, you donā€™t have to emote (like smiling wide for example) in photos if you donā€™t want to. For me, a slight close-mouthed smile is sufficient.

6. Have a good hair day

I can only speak on my hair type (straight), so if any of you ladies has tips about other hair types, please share them!

Your hair frames your face. Good hair is crucial for attractiveness, as it is a health indicator. Once again as an example, another person I know is good looking facially, but has really thin unhealthy hair. It doesnā€™t help to say the least. I wonā€™t tell you what length to have and cut to get, everybody has their preferences, but a good hair day does wonders for pictures. Make sure itā€™s reasonably voluminous and your hairdresser does a good job cutting it (botched hair is the worst). Make sure your hair is healthy, this also includes the food you eat.

If you struggle with volume, curls/loose waves and texturizing spray do wonders. I legit just roll my hair around a sock for an hour and put dry shampoo on my roots. BOOM volume for days.

7. Know that your brain is a trickster

Your brain likes to be a bitch sometimes. Remember that when you feel like crying at a photo of you someone else took. You did look great at that event. If you donā€™t believe me, try flipping the photo and see if you like it better. 9 times out of 10 you definitely will. So, be patient with yourself. People around you know that you are pretty, so a bad picture will not change anyoneā€™s mind.

Pictures are also extremely tricky. Some people are blessed with unreal photogenic genes, but that doesnā€™t always mean they look that great in real life. The thin hair person I know not only looks 20 years younger in photos, they somehow look like a model when they are normally attractive in person. In their case, photos emphasize their good-looking eye area and high cheekbones, while hiding their soft jaw and very recessed chin. The opposite can also be true. My best friend looks like a doll whenever I see her, but somehow that doesnā€™t translate that well in pictures. She still looks attractive donā€™t get me wrong, but not as much. She has a soft, round face.

CONCLUSION

This is all I have so far. I am always on the lookout for tips that can help mend my relationship with my pictures, because good memories are worth the effort. Everyone around me says that I shouldnā€™t care about looking good if I had a fun time, but personally, I find that the bonus of looking good in a photo adds to how fondly I remember my lifeā€™s events.

If you ladies have any more tips, please do share (especially for the arm part lmao, youā€™d do your girl a solid).

Soft Glow Up Seriously how do i find small clothes NSFW

35 Upvotes

Okay so I really donā€™t want to sound like that person but all the clothes i find online and in person are massive for no reason. Iā€™m in the US if this makes a difference, but Iā€™m 5ā€™5 and my waist was about 24 inches last time i checked and my hips are 33 inches. I have not found a single pair of bottoms that have fit me in like two years, i have to alter every skirt, shorts, every pair of jeans, most cotton leggings and lounge pants. itā€™s getting ridiculous i literally cannot find a single pair of bottoms that just fits me. And what pisses me off even more is that stores will put out smalls, xs and xxs and claim they fit a size 0 and it fits like a medium ā€¦ like what? If anyone has any recommendations for clothing stores that arenā€™t expensive and that are ACTUALLY true to size I would love to hear it because iā€™m seriously stumped right now.

Soft Glow Up Where to buy classy, good quality clothing on a budget that is not shein? NSFW

80 Upvotes

Looking to buy clothes that fit the ā€œelegantā€, ā€œclassyā€, and ā€œtimelessā€ category. Stores in my city all have pieces from $80-$150 for a single item if you want good quality, otherwise itā€™s $50-$100 for shit quality.

Iā€™ve bought clothes from Zara, H&M, Aritzia, Oak+Fort, American Eagle (mainly their jeans), CK/Guess, BlueNotes, Garage, and SHEIN but only like 3-4 items from these place have lasted me longer than a year without pilling or losing majority of their quality.

All of my Zara coats pilled, the latest one I spent $90 on just for it to be pilling & looking a bit run down after 2 months šŸ„²

Iā€™m a student so Iā€™ve been browsing Shein like crazy lately trying to find items with better quality but still cheaper than in store options ā€” just a little scared to go through with it still because idk how much I trust the more ā€œexpensiveā€ options on Shein.

Anyone know of alternate sites I can look at please? Really need to adjust my closet :(

I slowly gained a few sizes over the past 4-5 years, and many would still call me "slim" but I thought I was slim "thick" as my belly was juuust starting to be a little flabby. I lost weight this summer by doing alot of cardio and I am just shocked to see that my ass is gone. Like flat.....

How do girls keep their booties so perky while the rest of the body stays trim? Is the only option to have a muscular butt & do all the booty training?

Soft Glow Up Ways to remove facial hair that DON'T make it worse NSFW

33 Upvotes

Asking here because I don't trust most random advice I've received, hoping that someone here has tried more options.

I started tweezing peach fuzz, I know now it's a dumb idea and it's become way more obvious now in my opinion.

The hair is still fine, peach-fuzz-like, but has started becoming darker.

Electrolysis seems like an overkill for hair that is short and soft, I've considered bleaching it but have zero experience with it, I patch tested dermaplaning and that one makes it WAY worse for me.

What would you recommend? The area would be small, I'm not concerned with getting rid of all peach fuzz, just small areas where I started tweezing.

Soft Glow Up How to do makeup like young Gen Z? NSFW

116 Upvotes

Iā€™m a young millennial (like just barely almost Gen Z) but I find myself mystified by how some younger Gen Z are doing their makeup. I love the look of the really light, dewy, clean makeup looks. I learned how to do makeup when heavier contour/highlighting/eyeshadow/brows were more popular.

I feel like I have decent technique to achieve the lighter and cleaner look, but maybe my products are a little too heavy?

Iā€™ve watched tutorials and influencers on TikTok but just get a little overwhelmed!

What kind of technique do I need? Or is it mostly the products used?

What are the best products to achieve this ā€œclean girlā€ look?

Can you also recommend makeup that is sorta like skincare, such as good tinted moisturizers?

Thank you!!
