Make Up


GenderFiasco

1,584 views

I think that with my blatant lack of make up expreience it's going to be a real hardship. I have some and some more coming (it's so expensive!) but not a clue how to do it really...

I kind of know a little through watching people do it and a couple of youtube videos (the source of all my learning) but I imagine I'm going to look a state when I first have a go ;)

I haven't tried any of it yet but I think the beard will be interesting to cover. Obviously I'm going to shave as much as possible first but I'll never get right down to skin. 

Another thing is contour? I have a man face pretty much and I believe this contour thing makes it look like you've got shape or depth? I don't know, I'll focus on not looking like a 4 year old just painted my face first ;)

So I bought all the stuff I think I'll need. Foundation, eyeliner, blush, eyeshadow and some brushes, if theres anything I missed or some hints in how to use these items please do let me know :)

Thanks for reading, any input would be much appreciated, in any aspect of this whole thing.

Dear GenderFiasco,

May I suggest you do a search on Google and YouTube, "Makeup for Transgender Women," as well as "Makeup for Transsexual Women."  Have found some excellent tips online!

Yours truly,

Monica

Although not made specifically for transwomen I find stephanie lange's videos on YouTube helpful (she explains things well)

I definitely remember having the same fears, but a little practice really does go a long way!

As for the beard, Kat Von D makes a tattoo cover-up foundation that is very effective on facial hair (i've found it at sephora).

Electrolysis is also good for that :)
