Feeling a bit insecure about my looks as a hijabi

Salam everyone. I rarely put on makeup, only a handful of times since I started wearing hijab. But I’ve noticed I still get insecure-guess that’s pretty normal. I don’t really have a strong desire for full makeup, but two things bother me: my dark circles and wanting my lashes to show more. My lashes are naturally long, but my eye shape hides them, y’know? I feel like if I could just cover the dark circles and make my lashes stand out a bit, I’d be totally fine skipping makeup. I heard somewhere that covering flaws or blemishes might be okay? Not sure, so don’t take my word for it. But if it’s permissible, is there a natural way to hide the dark circles and enhance my lashes? I know all about tabarujj and the rulings, but sometimes it’s tough, especially when I feel a bit unfeminine. JazakAllah khair for any advice.

You're not unfeminine! Hijab elevates us. Focus on that inner noor. Still, I do use a tiny bit of halal concealer for bad dark circles, just at home. May Allah make it easy for you.

As for lashes, maybe just curl them? That's not adornment if it's not to attract non-mahram. And for dark circles, concealer is tricky, but some scholars say covering defects is okay. Ask a local imam.
