To improve my confidence?

So I’m 24F, and I have never really spent much time on makeup or doing fancy hairstyles or anything like that. I am below average looking for sure, but I’ve always felt doing makeup or dressing up or cute braids or anything like that wouldn’t change the fact that i’m foundation ally unattractive. It’s not quite a matter of “oh no i’m so ugly :(((“ it’s more of a “makeup on a chimp is just a chimp with makeup on” in the least self degrading way possible 💀

I am incredibly lazy on top of this sentiment because I am a full time grad student with three jobs, and even when I’m not busy I just really don’t feel like taking fantastic care of myself. I’m really doing sporadic skincare once or twice a week or overnight curls once in a blue moon.

Taking a step back from all this, I think the first step to getting myself to start being better to myself regardless of how “conventionally attractive” i think i am or am not, is to improve some of my confidence. Does anyone have any advice for this? Thank you in advance :)
