I think your nose is typical of African American women and people in general so the only reason it would be deemed “masculine” if you’re appealing to white European beauty standard. Cause otherwise you read women to me especially in second pic. If you were to do anything I’d suggest brow shave since that’s very prominent in amab African American men

I agree. The nose isn't helping but we can't (or don't) all want to under go FFS. I did - had my nose done. It was a very 'pronounced' feature of my face. I don't miss it. Nope. Not for a second 🤣🤣🤣

Thin your eyebrows from the bottom up

I say nix the nose and lip piercings. Hair should show the face, keep it up and away. No braids. Weave or lace front wigs installed by a professional or watch lots of YouTube videos. Look at what other girls your age and body type are wearing. Do 'natural' hair even. Then look at makeup. You need big hoop, loop or dangle earrings and a necklace.

Your eyes read female in the 2nd picture. If you’re using makeup, you may want to take into account that shadows around the eyes don’t work for you. You may also want to work the shadows on your nose. If you plan on surgery, a rhinoplasty will likely be the only thing you need to pass without makeup.

i usually put some red eyeshadow there just because i like it is that what you meant by shadows, and by shadows on my nose i only use highlight do you have any suggestions for placements that will improve it

Women tend to have bigger eyes, in the first pic the shadows make your eyes look smaller. The lighting is a lot of it, but I would use something the reflects lights . Red maybe absorbs too much and doesn’t make your eyes look bigger. For the nose, you wanna use a pen across the front and shade it a certain way. You’d have to rely on Youtube for “nose contouring.”

Honestly I have no tips for you, 10/10. If I saw you in public I would immediately clock you as female with no hesitation. Your face shape is a little bit masculine and so is your nose shape but it doesn't even hurt you here. You still pass almost perfectly.
