I finally have pictures of myself! Will someone please help me find a VK look or whatever that they think would look good on me? In these pics, I am just wearing my normal makeup and I have my hair styled just slighly differently from usual (although it's nightime and my hair has mostly fallen down >_<) This is my Oshare Kei look, that's why I'm all smiley and wearing happy colors. If needed, I can take more pics of myself without makeup or whatever. Next time, I'll go with my darker, more normal look. I was actually trying to look cheerful and cute for once. >_<

Aaaw, you're so cute! x3

You did a great job with your makeup. ^-^ Drat you, I can just never get my eyeliner neat like that!
How about trying a bit of colour round your eyes? The black makes them stand out wonderfully and gives your eyes an intriguing grey tone, but more excuse for pretty is always better! And I'm personally thinking it might add a bit of balance, because you have such very delicate colouring.

I'm thinking of the way that white eyeliner is often used to fill up the gap on the bottom inside edge between the end of the black eyeliner and the corner; except white is a bit draining for a soft colouring. Perhaps a little soft, very pale silver on the inside corner of the eyes? A touch of cold gold or blue? Though it's great as it is, so there's no need to do that.
Other than that I can't see much I'd recommend, since generally less is a bit more for everyday use.

On the subject of a look that will work for you, well, now I can see your colours (see your truuue colours, shining through! Damn! I'll have that in my head forever now!) well, hm... if you like the darker look, grey and ash colours might be your best bet for that? Black is great, but it rarely flatters anyone when worn as clothes - it does not as it is said make one look smaller; it only smooths out any bodily lumps and bumps. That's great, but it'll also wash anyone but those with the strongest colourings out if not separated from the face. (I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu and suspect I'm repeating myself. Sorry.)
How about a collection of silk scarves? Mostly anywhere catering to old ladies will sell some really rather pretty silk scarves in a variety of nice florals and mixing florals and such patterns, as well as the scarves themselves, is quite common in visual kei. I just had that thought because these things tend to come in cool watercolour tones, which would really make you glow!

I think your hair is lovely like it is. What a pretty colour! The spiky look in the photos softens your facial features while providing just the right textural contrast and flatters them wonderfully. Were you thinking of adding colour? Streaks, perhaps? Or were you considering dyeing the whole thing?

I don't think that was quite what you were after to hear... but what would you like to wear? What's your body shape, if I may ask? Your style, what you think would suit your personality the best? I'm reluctant to pick any old thing out the air and say "Try this!" without any idea if it's your kind of thing.

Thanks! If you think it would help, I have a few more pictures here: Lost-Remnant's Gallery My style is a little diverse, depending on my mood. Some days, I like darker clothing, and some days, I looks almost like a rainbow. >_< Some styles that I've seen and like are Elegant Gothic Aristocrat, Oshare Kei, Scene, and Visual Kei styles like Versailles and Malice Mizer. I like to go for a more androgynous style, too, since I am androgynous, so I don't like to wear dresses or look too much like a man.

Thanks so much for the help and compliements!
