Need Advice Passing

[Guest Emily_MI]

Well I am attaching some pics of me (finally) I am really nervous about putting these up but obviously I cannot do this alone and really need all the help I can with passing and help in trying to build up more self-confidence. Makeup is still a problem for me which I am practicing more and more on but ANY advice would be greatly appreciated and welcome!!!!

Honestly, Emily, you look great already. I love the way your eyebrows arch, and you have a terrific smile.

I am not any sort of authority on makeup and hair, but I'll offer a couple of suggestions:

1. brush your hair over your ears a bit; I think that will feminize you more.

2. Some color on your cheeks, a little eyeliner, and a pale shade of lipstick will look nice.

3. I think you look better without the glasses.

Not much help, I know, but like I said, I'm an amateur.

Hi emily,

Nice pictures-you ave a killer smile!

You look very good already and like Carolyn Marie said you have a beautiful arch to your brow. I would thin it just a little bit more at the bottom of the peak of the arch and out to the tip though..

And her comment on the hair and makeup style was right on target. Wit hair-it can be a great tool for softening your face. a little volume helps there too. The kind you get from brushing your hair when you are bent at the waist so the inside gets fluffed some.

One thing most cis women do is find their best point or points and wear a little more or a little darker makeup there. Like your pretty eyes. Or your mouth to empasize your wonderful smile.

Thanks for the tips, I am actually getting my hair colored next week or so, so hopefully that will help me with some hair issues. I need to work more on my makeup for sure but this is really my first time doing makeup so there is a lot that I need to work on still. I did some work with my eyebrows but since I am not fulltime yet I have to be careful for personal issue still :-(

I think you look good.

I agree with whats been said already.

I would definitely recommend you brush your hair down, if your hair is long enough, it may tend to get in the way of your eyes, thats ok. If it covers your earrings thats ok too, they will still be seen.

Just relax and be your self (Easier said then done I know) Smile alot. You already have that down though!.

Best wishes

In the next week or so I am having my hair colored and also some new style I am thinking about, I think that will help a lot with my self-confidence. I know I really need to still work on a lot of my makeup, I found this one place that is close to me that does make-overs and also teaches proper makeup techniques so I am going to be doing that as well for more help. Sadly though I still have to be careful since I am not full-time yet but I am doing what I can right now until that day! (which literally will be the happiest day of my life!)

Can you explain a little more about what you meant by too severe?? Thanks Hun.

Let's see.....

Drastic? Extreme?

It needs a softer look...

Maybe fluffed up.... and down over your ears and forehead a bit?

I have been trying to get my hair to be softer but really not having any luck in that area? For me to try to maintain it right now and keep it under control I use a lot of hairspray and moose but I really do not like it since it looks 'caked' on which I hate, I know my hair needs work (well OK A LOT of work, lol) but any advice in this area would be greatly appreciated!!! Love you all!!!
