Tricks for looking a little less like the cute girl down the street and a little more VS fantasy down the street? Maybe more Angelina Jolie, since I have the stronger face and pale thing in my favor?

I would definitely play up your lips if you're going for less cute and more VS and Angelina Jolie. And with less is more in my opinion. Like focus more on a flawless face, neutral eyes, maybe big lashes, and then standout lips whether it's color or making them look more pouty and sexy. It looks like you have pretty nice lips already but there's TONS of YouTube videos on tips and tricks to make then looks fuller and pouty. Like placing bronzer or contour under your lower lip to give more of a shadow illusion making them look more pouty.

Black clothes always make you look more grown up, as well as edgy makeup like a dark lip and bold eyes. also, I recommend very grown up looking clothes like a blazer and more classy looking things.

Try adding some loose curls into your hair instead of straight, it can make all the difference I promise:)

I'm with Renay on this. Often, wardrobe plays a huge part in what I consider sexy, although nothing makes a bigger impression upon me than someone's manner. You can soften a look with layering a lace cami beneath a blouse or go strong with some pleather front skinnies...maybe a light leather jacket, wear soft curls, play up your lips and eyes, and show off some pretty painted toes...men are INSANE over beautiful feet in heels. ;)

Take more risks with hair and make up. Do a bold lip. Change things up.

Lol it also has to do with your demeanor. You can dress as sexy as you want and your personality will still dictate how you're perceived.

Lip plumper 😎!
Bold burgundy colours for the lips.
Dark, mysterious eye shadows like black and dark purples. Cat eyes is a big yes,

This topic is so interesting to me! I've been a part of extensive conversations with people I know and people on my blog about this topic. About how much makeup is "too much makeup", that people should be happy with their natural beauty, the comment I get often of "You look beautiful without makeup." and I always respond: It's not about being beautiful, or more beautiful, or not being happy with my natural beauty. It's artistic expression. It's identity fluidity. We all have different sides of our personalities. Makeup helps me show everyone else which side I'm feeling like that day. I wear makeup the same way we all wear clothing. Why did you wear that shirt today? Why those pants? Are you wearing enough clothing? Too much clothing? Who gets to decide that? It's expression, it's identity, and ultimately, makeup is part of my personality. To those who say you wear "too much" makeup, they should know that you wore just as much makeup as you indented to that day, and that "too much" is an objective opinion that they are entitled to, but you're happy with the way you look in that moment :)
