Critique me please (^_^)

Hi, I thought I'd try the Hime-Gyaru style out.
What do you think?

Now I know my hair would be better if it were curled.
This can't be helped as I don't have anything to curl it with right now.
It's mainly my make-up I'm curious about.
Have I done a good job?
Thank you in advance

I agree, having the right hair would help the overall look immensely. Have you considered a wig? Your hair is kind of short for hime, though I've seen some of the Jesus Diamante girls wearing shorter, curled hair.

Anyway, that aside...the biggest areas I see for improvement are the eyes and lips. Maybe it's just the picture, but I can't see your lashes at all. If you're not wearing falsies, try a pair next time you do your make. You need visible lashes for this or any gyaru style. Again, maybe it's just the picture, but the rest of the eye make looks smudgy and undefined to me. Instead of making your eyes look wide and open, it just makes them look dark. Maybe try copying some of the make tutorials in Ageha or check out this video tutorial for more specific, step-by-step tips:

The lips and brows are also not light enough. Use a very pale beige or pink lip stick and top it off using a matching pale gloss. Your hair is pretty light so you can easily get away with lighter brows. (If you were a brunette, I wouldn't suggest trying to lighten your brows). To do this, either trim your brows down or bleach them a shade or two lighter. You can then define and shape them as you like using a pencil or other brow product.

Thank you so much.
I will deffinately try again using your suggestions.
It's mainly the lighting in the room where I took the photo that didn't help any of it show up right. But I will try again and take a photo in a better lit room next time.
Again thank you for your advice.

Some pointers:
- Liquid eyeliner
- Learn contour eyes and nose
- Don't go so dark all around the eyes
- Maybe start pencelling those eyebrows back in a bit?
- Here's some short hairstyles that I think you could rock if you don't wanna get extensions or a wig.
