I am desperate for a makeover in Baldur's Gate 3

A horrifically basic half-wood elf with black-brown braids and fair skin in Baldur's Gate 3.

I have committed a cardinal sin in Baldur's Gate 3: I created a character who is a basic bitch. I spent hours meticulously crafting her, flitting between multiple hairstyles and hair colours, rotating her to get a look at her face from all angles, adjusting freckles and makeup metallic intensity by tiny, tiny increments until I thought she was just right.

But she's not. She's all wrong! The character creator is like a clothing store changing room—all the right lighting, seemingly the perfect way to scrutinise myself from all angles. Then I emerge into the harsh lighting of the real world and suddenly things don't look quite right.
