Any makeup tips for me?

[Guest fantastictoo]

I am newly transitioning from male to female, can someone let me know how my makeup looks and what I might need to work on? Thanks! - Melissa

I think you are doing great and your smile makes it all work.

Hugs,

I'd say you're on track. I've seen plenty of women here in the midwest who do a far worse job with their makeup.

Fargo eh. Doing any trucking to or from the oil feilds?

Very appropriate make up, you did well

What's your current makeup routine?

[Guest fantastictoo]

My makeup routine is:

1. Moisturize face

2. Foundation

3. Eye primer

4. Eyebrows

5. Eye shadow...got this great little four color palette from Wal-Mart for green/hazel eyes...eye shadow base, eyebrow highliter, eye shadow and eye lid matte black blend together up and to the sides to get rid of distinct lines of shadows.

6. Blush

7. Eyeliner

I know I might want to use concealer and I have heard (from LizzieMcTrucker that there is some orange color stuff I should use, but the details escape me at this time...it would be better than using the razor to dry shave while I'm driving. Ouch!

Hugs,

Melissa

Hmm, it must have been from another one of our makeup-loving ladies because I haven't used anything orange on my face. I'm a stickler for shine so one of my steps of my makeup routine (when I wear it now) is powder because I don't like looking shiny. For me I use just regular translucent powder and put it on after foundation. I do dry shave the remaining hairs that electrolysis hasn't removed yet but I did notice when using a moisturizer that has a scent it could cause some irritation after shaving.

I'm so glad most of you ladies are moisturizing. I didn't pick up on this myself until, oh, about 9 months ago.

I think moisturizing should be something all people should do, not just those of the female persuasion.
