I think I'm getting good at my make-up. Any suggestions?

It looks nicefrom what i can see. Its subtle and doesnt look overdone. :)

Just a random tip, face/eye primers are good to have your makeup stay on for long busy days. Hydrating day creams are key for smoother application of foundation.

Rea,

I was too busy staring at the beautiful woman in those pictures to even notice any make up. I mean wow o.o you look gorgeous! You've got such a great smile!

It's been a while since I've put on any make up myself so I can't really offer any tips. I just wanted to say you look great!

I wear a darker line under the eyes. I think your eyes would come out a little with a darker line. Mascara would help too.

I am not a fan of red lipstick, but that's me. Some girls look great in it, but the bronzier colors look better. You have nice lips so you can pull it off.

Very pretty.

Can you get a clearer picture?

Thanks so much for the complements and suggestions.

Autumn,

I was using my phone camera. It kinda stinks as you can tell from the poor quality. I can use my digital camera tomorrow and post some clearer pictures. Thanks for the tips. I'm not that keen on red lipstick either, but for some reason that color looked hot when I put it on. lol

It's been fun experimenting and finding my style.

Unless its just how you are aiming the camera, you may want to go half a shade darker on you foundation since your neck is much darker than the face area, although the hair color and foundation work well, thats why I say only a little more on the beige side. Also, work the foundation onto your under chin and neck to help too. My coloration and complexion are actually close to yours and I tend to either go for a Bordeaux or a Coral lipststick. You have NOT overdone the eye shadow and for that I congratulate you. Autumn's suggestion about the mascara (for which black is OK), but black is not a good choice for the under eye liner with your hair color,

I'm going to post some more pic's today. I wanted to know about any suggestions for my eyes. I have Grey/Green or Grey/Blue hazel eyes. Depends on my mood among other things how my eyes change color. So any tips would be great!

Thanks

I'm not sure if these links will be allowed since they're not trans related. If the Moderators need to remove them you can just good, "Best Eyeshadow for grey eyes" and the article will come up. There may also be articles on grey blue and grey green eyes as well.

and unfortunately I didn't find anything worth bugging a mod over for gray-green eyes. Do a web search and see what comes up though. I've learned a lot about different eye shadows for my green eyes.

Hope this helps. Good luck Rea!

Okay, I need new makeup. I have been watching these YouTube video's by Kandee Johnson and discovered that I need to get a few more things. Having hazel eyes is a little different, because my wifeband :P and I don't share the same color pallet. I need to go shopping. oh Darn!

I have noticed that natural tones for eye shadow works best for me and to play around with different colored eyeliner. Applying eyeliner in different way can bring out the eyes and just have neutral or natural colored shadow so it doesn't look overdone. Like change it up and put a light color on the wet line and a darker color (preferably not black) on the lash line and try choosing a colors to go with what you are wearing.

So these video's that Kandee makes are pretty good. She has a lot of tips for blending colors on your cheeks too, I love these.

I have noticed MAC is very trans-woman friendly. Every time I go the the mall I see that MAC has no problem employing some of our sisters. I think that is very cool and for that I will be checking them out first. Plus they have some really cool stuff that I want. lol

Anyway I will post some pic's after I get the right items and have a little practice. I don't want to scare anyone.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
