Makeup 101

Since there have been ladies looking for makeup help, advice, tips, suggestions, etc. I thought it would be a smart idea to have a thread about it instead of searching high and low and sifting through countless threads spread out over a few forums. I also thought since there is so much info already out there on the internet, I'll refrain from posting my personal tips and suggestions and point you instead to a few links that are much more descriptive and thorough.

How to apply makeup: http://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Makeup

Quite thorough. I don't do everything they list here (like foundation primer) so there are some things you can skip but it's a very good link.

How to apply makeup in 10 easy steps: http://www.ehow.com/...-makeup-10.html

Another good read and there are some great questions and answers, too.

Types of makeup foundations: http://beauty.about..../foundtypes.htm

As I'm sure you've noticed, we all seem to have our different routines that work for us. Some ladies swear by stick foundation, others liquid, others just use tinted moisturizer. If you're not sure what all these terms mean and which one may be better suited for you, this would be a great link to check out so you can read up about all the different types of makeup foundation there are.

Different types of lipstick: http://www.lipstick-...pes-of-lipstick

While this doesn't include lip stain, this is a quick read of different kinds of lipstick out there. I've checked out a few links that are similar and they all pretty much say the same thing as this. At least this one has pictures.

All about mascara: http://beauty.about....a/a/mascara.htm

A fantastic link about the ins and outs and the do's and dont's of mascara. A must read!

How to apply eyeliner: http://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Eyeliner

A wonderful eyeliner tutorial with helpful pictures.

Types of eyeliner: http://www.makeupgee...ow-to-use-them/

Fantastic article! This link explains the different types of eyeliner out there and the pro's and con's of each. The lady who wrote this really knows her stuff.

Applying eyeshadow: http://www.makeup2en...-eyeshadow.html

I had to search around for a site that explained the basics of applying eyeshadow and what colors to apply where and I think this is a good one that explains it simply for anyone just starting out.

Makeup tools 101 (brushes): http://beauty.about....makeuptools.htm

So after all that, here is a quick primer about all the various makeup brushes. Now keep in mind, you don't have to have all of these! There are a few brushes that are better than the ones that come packaged with some brands of makeup (blush immediately comes to mind, it's not suggested you use that brush but buy a better, actual blush brush) Also many of the high-end cosmetics don't come packaged with brushes so you would need your own to apply those anyway.

How to apply blush: http://www.wikihow.com/Apply-Blush

A fantastic link about the different kinds of blush out there, and which may be best for you. There are pictures to follow along and some great tips on how to apply it.

Hope these help, ladies!

Practice makes perfect and the best part of makeup is playing around with different shades to create different looks.

After all, it's just makeup. Have fun with it and enjoy being beautiful. :)

      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
