Not wearing anything fancy today: T-shirt and white shorts. My new purse came today though!

Bold colors I never had much luck with Alice but you seem to do well with it.

I do smoky eye usually.

Very cool new purse Jackie.

I found this top recently at a consignment shop it still had the original tags still on it and never worn.

Not a very good pic sorry its so fuzzy.

I went out with my daughter today and put on 'stealth makeup'. Light eye shadow and top mascara. Hooded eyes aren't always easy to work with, but I can give some looks.

I used to do the stealth thing a lot and I think it slowly helps not only you to feel better about yourself and for others to accept that you have a feminine side.

@Teri AnneI love that top on you!  Cute, multiseason and versatile!  You are going to get a lot of use out of that.

@Alice_SybilinaLess is more looks great on you.  I think bold is great IF you are going bold in dress, hair etc. Especially in lower lighting situations in the evening at bars/dinner/dancing kinda stuff. Take my opinion with a grain of salt though because I've never been a big fan of makeup in general.  I think the most beautiful women look like they didn't put makeup on (but did in a lighter and natural way)

 

I've been makeup free the last few weeks because I'm an emotional mess and I'm afraid I will break down crying and ruining the makeup.  I've felt a little better the last few days so maybe after electrolysis Tuesday I will do it up. (no point before that with all the whiskers ?. )

Thanks Bri.

Its more a fall top but I couldn't pass it up. Just had to try it on and take a pic LOL.

I am with you on the less is more way of thinking when it comes to make up.

When I first started trying make up I used way too much thinking thats what everybody did so I ended up looking more like a clown.

By that I mean caked on too heavy.

I usually use a primer as a base to give a smooth finish and very little foundation with a light setting powder blended in.

There is so much to learn when it comes to make up I doubt I will ever figure it all out.

I’m pretty sure I’ve worn this outfit before but a new hairstyle makes everything else new.

Thanks Jackie. I'm sure I used up a lot of good luck when I found them.

Love the look and the new hair style Liz.

Thank you, Teri Anne. It's amazing what the right hairstyle can do. I feel much more aligned now.

You are so right if your hair is just not right it ruins your whole feeling.

I had to put this up. So I just did my eyes and got on a cute pink dress with leggings and a scarf on my head and my 6 year old son came in and told me 'whoa, you look like... Another mom.' 

 

I got so excited.

Aww that is such a cute pic.

@Jackie C.I took your advice on toning my makeover down and now I can put on even more for work. I'm trying to make it noticeable, but only if you really look for it.

Nicely done! My eyeliner game needs work. I'm practicing during my downtime.

 

Hugs!

I haven't gotten any practice on that myself. I usually just line the outside of my eyes with a darker eyeshadow. I'm twitchy and just got used to putting on the mascara without blinking like crazy.

It just takes lots of practice. I started wearing eye makeup to work last December and just a few noticed.

My deep set eyes are hard to work with too. I find that eye liner makes the look like black holes. I can thank my mother for my eyes.

Well done Alice.

Eye liner was always tricky as was mascara but once you get used to putting it on it gets easier.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.
    • Ivy
      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.
    • Ivy
      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.

      I admit to wearing make-up. Actually, I'll admit to enjoying wearing make-up. For me, it's been part of learning about myself as a woman and finding a style and look that reflects my personality.    Sometimes, it will just be a bit of mascara and a touch of lipstick. But, most often I wear foundation with setting powder, gel eyeliner, mascara, a little blush on my cheek line and lipstick. I also use an eyebrow pencil to darken my brows a bit.  Infrequently, I will add some eye shadow.   Most of my make-up is from Mary Kay although my lipsticks or from various manufacturers and eyeliners are mostly Maybelline. My wife purchases most of her make-up from Mary Kay and so we order together from our local representative. Of course, I don't have much brand experience but I'm happy with the Mary Kay products and find myself transitioning almost entirely to their line of make-up.
