Does makeup/ dress up games actually help in real life with your fashion and makeup ability? If so, could you possibly post an article stating this? I just want to know if it actually does. Thanks! O;

Not really sure what you mean by games, so thus the answer is NO. Having someone who is skilled in make-up, both in products, and the tools, teach you is by far the best way to learn how to put on make-up. Certainly, an older sister or other female relative is helpful, but a full makeover and lessons by someone who has professional training in restorative cosmetics or performance cosmetology will save family and social relations many times over.

MAC, most Sephora, and ULTA stores have make-up artists in them, and here in CA, they are gender friendly for the most part. Even your AVON or Mary Kay reps can be pretty good. Totally best bet. We do have some places that are specifically transgender oriented out here, and their owners are helpful too.

Last big issue though, is to buy the products and try using them. I had three professional make-up sessions with a little different look each time. Now that I am full time, my basic routine takes 15 minutes after my shower where I do my face cleaning and beard taming. For more formal evening make-up I add in the glue on eyelashes and strengthen my eye shadow and re do my blush a bit, and its party time. Its always fun to do a little experimentation, and so glittery eyeshadow is in my kit, so are some black liner and eyebrow pencil which along with an ivory white foundation came out on Halloween. It takes a while to learn, and you will make a good investment with some pre moistened makeup removal tissues, big game if there is one is to have fun learning.

Games where you try and relocate someone's eyes onto their chin, no way helpful.

I will agree to disagree. Dress up games online can show you what the true fashonista that you really are ~giggles~

Thanks. Anymore? LoL! I mean dress up games (Like on the comp) Like Fashion Mall are pretty addicting. However, I don't want to waste my time if it doesn't help.

I have found the best way for me to "dress up" is to get some clothes in the style I think might work for me at a thrift shop and try them. Often you hate them but sometimes they work and they always help in developing what will become a style of your own, in which you are comfortable in your female self. I am only happy out if I'm comfortable. at that point i can handle the occasional stares as compliments not as insults. Face it a pair of jeans and a T shirt make you blend in at the super market. Boring but true. I sit in a meeting and realize all the women are cross dressing. You could interchange the cloths in the room and not notice the difference. It is important to see these things to Pass. I can't see games helping.

Hugs,

Hi Hikari, I have ,I would say is best way. I have a women that loves me more as a women than a man. As a matter of fact I just got dressed , she is due home about 3 P M an I love being dressed when she come's. She lets me know if I did my make up right an the cloths an shoes are right. Now we are both the same size in cloths and shoes10 1/2 . She was an actress at one time so she had to go to make up school. She has helped me all around. The fun part was when we first me she was a widow, so it was all black she wore. I made it a point before I got to close < you know what I mean > I let her know that I cross dressed. Her reply was SO I am a New York City girl. Well I moved in with all my cloths,thats when we found out we were the same size. As I learned about her she started wearing all my cloths. Well now anything that is female bought we both can wear an its first come first served. She all so bought me a wig that is just like her hair, boy was that a lot of fun. WE go out as sisters an really enjoy our self's . We have been to P town in Mass. We now live in Florida an go to Key west, been to some very nice places together and have been well received. So the best thing you can do in my humble opinion is find a women that love's you for you let her know right of the bat that you are a C D . Then fun begins. JO
