Ok so I don't know if you ladies can help me. But when I leave the house I start out feeling so good about myself looking like this (first picture) then we take another picture later and I look like the second picture.
I know everyone takes good and bad pictures. But I genuinely look just awful after like an hour or two. And suggestions? I can't even quite pin point what EXACTLY is so wrong or different.

It's probably not you :) it's the lighting. Like the first picture you have natural light it looks like. The second picture you have overhead lights which can make you look bad in pictures. But that's not the reality!

I don't see nothing wrong I get like that too it's probably because when we take our own pictures we make sure everything comes out how detailed we want it to look but your in the shade so it's not going to show as much don't worry you look beautiful and flawless :)

Not really sure what you mean, but the picture angles and lighting will definitely have something to do with it. Your first picture is shot overhead and a lot closer to the camera, which often times is the most flattering (also slimming). The second photo has dimmer lighting and you are looking straight into the camera (opposed to an angle), plus farther away so we can't really see the details of your makeup! I'm the same way and I think if you want your make up to show in pictures that are taken farther away you have to cake on that makeup!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I have the same problem. Its because as you go through the day your makeup fades or runs. Bring your makeup with you, and some q-tips. Use a q tip to catch the makeup that runs underneath your eyes. And extra makeup to retouch it up later in the day!

Also things like primers and setting sprays will help your make up look fresh longer.
