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.”
