Does anyone have tips for working on women to make them more beautiful? Been trying to find good combinations. Any ideas?

Those that research whatthe average manconsiders beautiful have found that it is those qualities that makea womanappear more youthful - plump lips, big eyes, well defined cheekbones, smaller nose, high forehead; and of course some vavavoom - you know curves That said there is a wonderfully wide variety of face combinations and many can be perceived as beautiful. I find the more beautiful someone is on the inside, the more beautiful their face looks to me, and a lot of beautiful women end up looking UGLEE! All that said, when someone comes to see us, they want strangers to think they look beautiful. I would recommend inviting others to join the group to give their opinion if neither you nor the customer are quite sure what would give the look they are going for. Roleplay it up, could be fun and net you more customers

Thanks for the tips!


I just feel a little lost when awoman comes to me and gives me an open-ended request such as "can you make me prettier?"


Beauty is subjective...I know what I like, but it may not be what THEY like (or their boyfriend, etc.)


One thing that seems to work is adding eyeshadow that is a darker version of their skin tone. It seems to add definition to the eyes without looking like a streetwalker.



Thanks again.

One thing that I try to get across is that extremes are for the freakish looking supermodels....moving a slider, even a little, especially for the facial and body features, make for a more real, aesthetically pleasing avatar. I personally have my weight at 20%, muscle at 50%, and torso at 55%. (this is subject to spontaneous change to suit my mood, but will always eventually come back to these numbers). It makes me different than the cookiecutter dancers out there who must live in fear of toppling over at any minute. Also, a slight tweak of eye size and shape, cheeks, jaw, can produce a very different (improved) look.
