Starting to be a bit paranoid about my look, thinking that I look masculine

[Teacher7676]

In terms of how I style myself.
I have a pixie cut, which I have been told suits me, I try to grow it out but get impatient and cut it again.
Anyway, I like it but sometimes feel like the odd one out, know very few women of my age (early 30s) which short hair. Virtually none, and I feel that long hair is generally seen as more 'feminine'.
Next, I don't wear make up (apart from a touch of concealer on spots). I'm not good at applying make up but without blowing my own trumpet I have good skin, eyelashes etc.
I also can't be bothered with the hassle of applying and reapplying, then taking off make up every day.
I don't have my nails done, I just keep them short and plain.
I don't wear heels as I find them uncomfortable. I'd wear them for a wedding or something similar but not for work.
I suppose my clothes can vary, I do wear dresses, and I like tighter, fitted clothes as opposed to baggy but I do wonder that if i wear a blazer and trousers for work (combined with all of the above) that I look masculine.
I feel stupid writing this and hope it doesn't come across badly. I think I've got a feminine face but worry that I should be more 'girly'.
Is anybody else like this or felt this way?

Honestly , nobody gives a fuck. Just be you.

You sound much like me - but what about your friends, are they all the long wavy hair, perfect make-up, Insta selfies type? I have a few acquaintances like that, and sometimes wonder if I'm missing out...
But only for a brief moment. Then I realise how much I love cutting my own short hair whenever I get bored with it, not wasting money on makeup I don't want to wear, sleeping in, having a rather large, varied wardrobe, walking without breaking my ankles. I'm topping it off by building muscles! Please don't compare yourself to others, meet your own standards not their

Come over to the feminism boards and we'll embrace you. Top MN tip, avoid Style and Beauty.

It's such an attractive look, really emphasises the person, imo.
I saw an older actress styled like this last night, she looked sensational- though she was made up.

Annie Lennox looks amazing.

Tilda Swinton! who wouldn't want to look like her in a blazer and trousers.

Pixie cuts can look amazingly chic and feminine on the right person. Sadly I don't have the face for one (strong features, chubby cheeks).

You sound very stylish OP, don't change unless you want to.

You are not “masculine”, you look like a woman. We are so bombarded with images of women performing “femininity” with makeup and high heels etc that some of us have started believing that just being a woman is somehow androgynous or masculine.
