I feel really ugly. I know this sounds dumb, and maybe yahoo answers isn't the best place to write this, but i needed to vent.?

There are days when I feel beautiful and confident, but most days I feel like I'm not as pretty as all the other girls my age. I'm 24 and look really young for my age. I am constantly trying to make myself appear my age, so that I get treated with a different level of respect. Then there is the whole not looking good without makeup. I keep breaking out and my skin is dry. I try to overcompensate by putting on way too much makeup, and then I feel worse because I can feel all the makeup on my face. It doesn't look bad, cause I blend well, but I can tell how much I have on and just want to wash it off. I'm also pale and so I try adding a bunch of bronzer on to look tan. I just moved to OC and all the girls are super pretty. I feel like I have to look just as beautiful to get recognition from everyone. I feel so insecure and like I need better clothes or a better haircut or better skincare. I don't know. It's affecting my self esteem. I've felt this way for a long time, since high school.
