Help me improve my face (pic attached)

I'm serious.
When I look at my face it's like my head is lopsided on a permanent tilt. I noticed it really badly on a Zoom meeting this morning.
Is it my hair or my parting that makes it look bad?
Is my jaw asymmetrical?

How can I make it better?

Set your zoom to mirror function, then you’ll see yourself in a way you’re more used too.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 18/06/2020 21:08

It's not you, it's Zoom..! I've gad meetings where I've genuinely wondered if somebody will question my health because I've looked so undead awful

Flopjustwantscoffee · 18/06/2020 21:10

your face is very symmetrical! noones face is 100% symmetrical (that would be creepy) but yours is definately well on the more symmetrical end of the spectrum. Also bear in mind when we see others faces they tend to be moving as they talk/pull expressions etc. This is much more attractive than when we see still photos of ourselves staring straight ahead. Zoom is odd because even though its a video call its often quite jerky so you get to see your own face frozen for a few miliseconds (or longer) than normal!

You have lovely bone structure, so no changes to your face needed! If you're feeling like you need a change, alter your hairstyle. Try a layered hair down look to frame your pretty face. Maybe hair straight back in a pony with no part at all. Hair parted on the side. But remember you have a nice complexion and lovely bones, so no improvements neededFlowers

BlueTreeBlue · 18/06/2020 21:50

You have wonderful bone structure and amazing skin!

bobbikato · 18/06/2020 22:26

As others say you are lovely .
Your hair may look better if it was swept back more or shorter for that trendy " i cut my own hair in lockdown " look .
Otherwise perhaps you could dress up in geeky glasses for zoom calls,to look more interlectal - people may actually be distracted by how stunning you are .

BlackSwan · 18/06/2020 22:32

You look perfect.

dontgobaconmyheart · 19/06/2020 00:41

Er...OP nobodies face is symmetrical and I feel fairly confident we all hate the sight of our faces on a Zoom call. I can't see what you mean at all though but I am bloody jealous of your skin, tell us what you are using! and your nose is lovely (seems weird to say so but it is). Be nicer to yourself!

IntheHeartofTransylvania · 19/06/2020 00:45

You look beautiful and your face is super symmetrical.

noseresearch · 19/06/2020 00:51

I really don't see it, you look very symmetrical to me.
So true^
If anything reading your post has made me paranoid how terrible I must look 😂😩 because I genuinely thought you look very symmetrical compared to me, plus you are blessed with lovely skin!

noseresearch · 19/06/2020 00:53

Seeing your pic slightly reminded me of the model Toni Garrn! She’s beautiful, I’m sure you are too Smile

JemimaShore · 19/06/2020 00:59

You look fine, and your face doesn't look lopsided at all. You do have lovely skin.

I think you'd look good with a fringe.

Haretodaygonetomorrow · 19/06/2020 01:00

Honestly please don’t worry about this. You have lovely clear skin and great cheek bones.

chatwoo · 19/06/2020 01:13

Absolutely nothing wrong with your face, you are a good looking woman.

As for Zoom...Sad I recommended turning off the self view option It's the three little dots on the top right of the box where you can see yourself. Zoom seems to "wash out" the features of anyone who is remotely fair skinned/haired. I put on extra eye make up and still look sickly on Zoom. So I just stopped looking at myself instead Grin

Samtsirch · 19/06/2020 01:33

Your face looks normal.
The trouble with staring at something long enough is that you can imagine all sorts or see something that isn’t there.
All of the other people on zoom may have had the same insecurities after seeing themselves.
You are attractive.Believe what the pps are saying.

Cheeseandwin5 · 19/06/2020 02:10

You look grreat to me

Maybe smile is the only improvement required

MoltonSilver · 19/06/2020 02:40

Zoom is awful.
You are beautiful.

Stripesgalore · 19/06/2020 02:55

You look beautiful OP.

Great skin and bone structure.

loveskaka · 19/06/2020 02:59

I think u look great, but if u really want to be that wee bit more, maybe some filler to even out ur jawline and your cheek bone on your right side x

dixiedo · 19/06/2020 10:58

You have beautiful bone structure and other features.. very pretty.
Sometimes my face lacks a little fullness
on one side and I found its due to sleeping. So I sleep on the other side for a bit and let it firm back up xxx

VanGoghsDog · 19/06/2020 11:07

You could try moving the camera/laptop a bit further away so there is less focus on your features. I've found this far easier to cope with - I tend to have the laptop on my lap and my face fills the screen. If I sit at the table and push the laptop back a bit, more of my body is in the pic and my face and features don't bother me as much.

There's nothing wrong with your head, obviously.

eandz13 · 19/06/2020 11:13

Gorgeous skin, high cheek bones, perfectly straight nose, plump lips. I feel shit about my face now! Really don't think you have anything to worry about Grin

SixtiesDress · 19/06/2020 11:39

I hate how I look on those calls. Seems to emphasise all the hollows and shadows.

You look perfectly lovely. A sharper/more defined parting might help. I used to have an off-centre parting as I thought it looked less harsh, but then I realised it could sometimes actually make me look like my face was lopsided, whereas a straight centre parting made my face more symmetrical.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 19/06/2020 11:39

I think you would look lovely with a fringe and a short just above shoulders choppy bob.lovely shaped lips by the way

ijustneedasleep · 19/06/2020 12:16

Excellent skin and lovely lips, looks like a great head to me 😊
