Tried to heal my face after that airbrush make-up session, so I couldn't post anything much, but thanks!

Is it better now then?

It is somewhat. Just my forehead part is not so healed up, but that's because I can't get enough of proper sleep, no matter if I eat healthy and drink plenty of fluids, I'm just stressed out and can't get enough sleep, so I still need to sort that out, but it's much better now, and when I got the patch test, apparently I was allergic to the silicone which was in the air-brush make-up foundations, which means that they won't be used on me any more.

Drinking pure water, nothing added, will probably work best to keep your fluids right.  Are you stressed about your skin or other problems?
Hope to see more shots of you soon

I might be stressed out because of my skin, but then I know that it makes it even worse for stressing about it, and makes me stress out even more. It's just the time of the year I think, the weather changes and all that!

And I did upload more photos just few minutes ago! It's nothing so special though, but I hope it satisfies for the time being!

Do you think you may have a bit of SAD (seasonally affective disorder), maybe you need a SAD lamp to replicate natural daylight
I'd love to see some more shots with your gorgeous natural red hair, and when you're less stressed your lovely legs too

I don't really even know if I have S.A.D, but hell knows, that's mainly I've never paid much of attention to it!

And I might do some shots at this week, since I have slightly less time in college, which I might use it as an advantage for photos!
So let's hope I'll upload more sooner or later.

I've just been reading about SAD and it's more common in women than men, but don't stress over that too
Just looking through your self portraits and thinking how naturally beautiful you are, I know there aren't many where you show your lovely slender body or your gorgeous legs, maybe because you don't realise that they are, but maybe you should show a little more of your figure too, bet you'll get loads of lovely comments

I'm not so naturally beautiful, I have to use make-up quite a lot, to hide pigmentation and other disorders that flaws my face.
And all within the body parts, I just don't feel very confident within that.

And it's quite hard to do the photo by myself from more further away even if I do use the timer, and the most bugging problem for me is that I want to try out different places, like the backgrounds, instead of just plain white, but I can't do it by myself, and there's no one that I know who could help me out, and either so, if they would, I couldn't pose properly, because it feels completely different when someone else takes the photo rather than myself.

Well it's hard to see your skin pigmentation through your make-up, but I still say you're naturally beautiful.  Yes you might need make-up to hide some skin flaws, but the bone structure and symmetry of your face defiantly give you a beautiful look

If you want to do longer shots from your tripod, you can buy a remote shutter release for less than £3, www.amazon.co.uk/Photo-Plus-In… .  I'd offer to help you with some more complex shots, but as you're under 18 I'd need parental consent and you'd need a chaperone as well , you're a little too far away too.  What you could try is finding a wall with some interesting patterned wall paper if you want to shoot something that's not a plain white background or maybe in front of a window for an outdoor backdrop (be careful with reflections though)

The window part never goes well for me, mainly because the main problem is the reflection, haha!
But I think I'll manage somehow to do something within my mind like I usually do if I'm into it!
I'll try and consider the shutter release remote aswell!
Thank you!

Do you have a polarizing filter, they can help with reflections
Remote shutter releases are very useful, I have a radio remote and used it to take this shot, chriswatsonphotograp.deviantar… but you can use them for many more things too, especially long exposure shots when you don't want any camera movement
