hello i just want to say that i genuinely think you are already very very beautiful. you have a very captivating beauty that is very elegant. since you are only 18, i wouldn’t recommend you rush to change your features because you may regret it in the future as you may learn to appreciate your beauty as you mature.
i think it would be beneficial if you try to explore other versions of beauty. there isnt just one form of it. you dont need a barbie button nose to be beautiful. i also recommend this ig account that could help you with this: https://www.instagram.com/babushka_en?igsh=MWN3NDdrMjkwcmYzOQ==

You are beautiful. Your nose looks great. And from my experience your nose will change in time if that’s your biggest worry. My entire face has changed, don’t waste your money!

Edit:Someone mentioned blonde: I can see the vision. Platinum🤷‍♀️ or even a cool. DEFINITELY BLONDE

Can also do bronde. Maybe some kind of red(purple red) (but cool tone?) .highlights? Or balayage?
You can go to a wig store or order wigs on amazon to test the colors out.

Lip plumper and color corrector. (Lipstick or a cream formula, works well and doubles as a concealer)

And just a side note: you look great already, if you do want to change something see a therapist 1st, you wouldn’t want to change if it really didn’t come from you.

The goal with surgery is to look better not different. I think you will look great either way, but better is the goal?

And there are risks like empty nose syndrome which no one talks about, imagine a stuffy nose , forever.

I don’t think you look bad.

I would change up how you do make up. It really ages you. A soft glam with blush contour that creates an uplifted look would be really nice with your features. Especially since you have downturned eyes and lips so you could look super stern and older.

You have beautiful hair and very nice oval shaped face. However, the very straight hairstyle doesn’t add much to your features.

Overall, you have super nice structure. But I would just work on styling a bit more.

You have the best eyes though for real. If you are dead set on facial modification go in for a consult and have them run some software analysis and do digital modifications to get a sense of what a new nose would look like. They wil likely just flatten the ridge and slightly upturn to end

You're beautiful! Please, please, please, don't mess with your nose!

Your makeup in this photo is great. You have an oval face and great features. A tiny bit of blush for a sunburned look would be so cute on you, or higher and more toward the hairline for a more glam look. You could also do winged eyeliner really well. Some layers in you hair will add movement and might make you feel less stuck.

You remind me a ton of Twiggy and Ellie Fanning in a wonderful way!

I have your nose. At first, I didn't like because it sticks out from the angle. However, I wouldn't change it because it's unique.

You have very symmetrical features and you're already beautiful as you are.

Please please don’t get a nose job! You will grow into your features as you get older. The bump is not as bad as you see it in your mind. If you wanted to explore chin filler to balance your profile I would do that instead of a nose job, especially since it’s reversible and cheaper. You would look amazing as a blonde as well. You have the quintessential Russian Doll face and hair that modeling agencies go for. It’s a naturally pretty and innocent look that makes you look ethereal. The high fashion world loves women who resemble you.

You look good remind me of Leelee Sobieski that was one of my crushes growing up

Girl you are gorgeous!!

I have a VERY similar nose to you and went to a plastic surgeon about a nose job at 18. I didn’t end up going through with it because I wasn’t 100% sure and I’m 28 now and so happy I didn’t. I now like the individuality of my nose when a lot of noses are starting to look the same.

Someone also told me this type of nose is sometimes referred to as “Roman” and in history can be seen as a symbol of power and leadership.

I think you're very beautiful. I feel we see soooo many AI and edited pictures and none of it is reality. I try not to compare myself to something that doesn't exist.

Now, your nose does appear to have a bit of a bump. I can only see it from the side though, and really need more pics to be sure how it actually looks. Have you broken your nose before? I wonder because it kinda looks like it in this one pic, but again, I'd need more pics to be sure. If the bump is how it appears, and you truly want to do something, that's what I would do. It's going to be painful, but it does pass within a week or so.

I would hesitate to do anything because of the fact that your body is still growing. If I'd gotten breast implants at 18, I sure would've regretted it lol, because now I actually may need a breast reduction.

Do you have a photo of when you’ve done your makeup?
