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,

Charlie

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

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
