Well how about dark circles under your eyes? My eyes are like that all the time, it doesn't matter how much sleep I get or anything. I've never been able to find anything that hides it well and don't know if any creams or anything would work.

I figured I would ask since you like being so helpful. :)

May i ask what you have tried? concealer is your best bet i have them too! so dont feel bad, I use under eye Concealer and i am actually going to try http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?src...amp;pf_id=38788 This and see how it works Mary kay has a similar system and i have used them for regular makeup and loved them. When applying any Concealer especially under or around the eyes don't rub it in, dab it to cover because less is more. You can try the green concealer and then dab a natural concealer over it to cover the green but you have to be careful to not rub out the green and then when applying foundation as well that works for me sometimes but honestly i don't like the green concealer its hard to work with.

Wow! I just want to thank you for offering all this advice and help for us girls and guys. I have very sensitive eyes like you and whenever I use eyeliner I end up getting an eye infection. Are there any eyeliner's that are for very sensitive eyes? I may try the Covergirl masacara you recommend though, I've tried Mary Kay Mascara and that just caused problems with my eyes. I also heard that L'Oreal Mascara is suppose to be good for sensitive eyes. I am using Mary Kay foundation in beige, it does cover but the pigment I am finding is light. Do you have any advice on Panstick foundation? How well does it work? I have heard about Revlon Colorstay from other girls and they claim that it does do a great job in coverage.

Hugs,

Suzie

Hi Manda!

Every time I wear mascara (waterproof) I get a little black ring just below my lower lashes. Any idea what causes this and how to stop it? Best I can do to combat this is look in the mirror every so often and use a wet Qtip and wipe it away. I've tried dusting around my eye with loose powder as someone said it's because the mascara seems to be attracted to my stick foundation (Maxfactor, love it and swear by it) but that doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Liz :)

Try L'Oreal eyeliner thats the one that works best for me no itching at all if that dosnt work almay is for very sensitive skin. I hear PanStick foundation works well! I find the tint blending foundations works the least well they always end up light so id stay away from that. If you do try Panstick will you let me know how it works for you? Revlon colorstay is what i am currently using and i compare it to using MAC foundation although i admit the feel is a little thiicker then MAC it works just as well!

Practice! im sorry not the answer you wanted but if you get to little polish on the brush it dosnt cover well enough and if you get to much then you get alot extra on your skin. Honestly i have been painting nails since i was little and my mom is professional and sometimes it just gets on the skin. There are a few cures though I take a Qtip and put a bit of nail polish remover on it and it takes the extra right off without messing up the actual nail or making it difficult. There are also things like this http://www.amazon.com/Cutex-Manicure-Corre...e/dp/B001U7MTLA That work pretty well and are easier to use. Also note that when this pen runs out all you have to do is wet the tip with regular nail polish remover and it still works the same!

I've tried a couple different concealers, powders and concealer pen. They only partly hide it, and you can tell that it's on. If it's only going to partly cover it up it should at least be unnoticeable...

Thank you I will try the L'Oreal eyeliner. Not sure what brand of Panstick to use though, I know Maxfactor has a panstick, is there any other brands? May try the Revlon Colorstay as well. Will let you know how it works when I purchase the products.

Max Factor and http://www.makeupforever.com/int/en/produc...ick-foundation/

Are the only ones i could find max factor should be more reasonably priced.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
