Do you mean that you'd like to learn to contour and highlight to give your features a bit more definition? Or do you mean that you'd like some feminine makeup suggestions?

Yeah Hannah. Haha sorry I didn't really know how to explain it. Basically, I want more defined features, thinner face maybe 👍

Okay, well it's important to know that the oval face shape is already considered to be the ideal face shape, due to it's inherent symmetry. So, because of that, all contouring for other face shapes are designed to give the illusion of an oval face shape. some simple things you can do to define your features are lightly contour under your cheekbones, and to give the illusion of a thinner face you can very, very lightly contour your face just above your ears. I'd ask Jacqueline for a few better suggestions than that, as she's a professional, but those are some very simple suggestions. Also, have you considered trying to emphasize the more typically "feminine" aspects of your face? for example, you can make your lips look more full by lining slightly outside of them, highlighting your cupid's bow and using a light shade of gloss on the very center of your lips in order to create the illusion of fuller lips.

You look feminine to me. But if I had to scrounge to find something to change maybe to lighten your brows a bit, not too much though. And long lashes always feminize a face, either lots of mascara or some falsies.
