Well as you all know im a big makeup junkie and well I know ALOT about make up.....so we all have things in our face we dont like...some have acne, scars, roscea and so on. For me it Under eye circles!! I HATE THEM and im only 16 rgggg so I use all the tricks in book:( and you can still tell. I put some foundation first and then I warm up the concealer and mix it with eyecream and it still noticable iv used plenty of concealers Iv used the Philosophy, Covergirl(Currently Using), Estee Lauder. So as you can see Iv used from pharmacey to high end but I have to say that the Philosophy one was the one that makes miracles. But its expensive and I cant afford it at the moment:(. Does anyone know of anyone that works MIRACLES!!!?? :( any other tips I havnt heard of?! T.T thanks.

Hmmm... its been a while but Ki think I did concealer first and then foundation. I had the same problem with under eye circles :( wish I knew how to get rid of them... anyway... If concealer and foundation wasn't enough I also applied a little pressed powder a shade or two lighter than my skin. You can use this technique on multiple problem areas to deal with redness or other issues. The good thing about this technique is you can use it to "contour" and "highlight" different areas of your face. I have a... dimple or a cleft in my chin. Applying some lighter shades of powder in that spot made my chin look "normal" and hid it pretty well. Give it a try and I hope this helps. Good luck.

Well I have no idea about makeup...I hate the stuff, but my partner likes makeup. She just got this stuff the other day for under her eyes and it seems to work for her really well. It's called Garnier eye roll-on and you can get it tinted with foundation. It's a new thing. She really likes it.

I can only tell you it seems to be working well for my partner. I hope you find the thing that works best for you. I know how much it bothers my partner if she hasn't got the right makeup things that she feels she needs even if I think she looks beautiful without any of it.

I just use some liquid concealer by Cover Girl. It has a spongey wand applicator and I just swipe some on my under eye circles, then I put on my foundation and the rest of my makeup. I actually also use it on my entire beard shadow area. I read the trick is to get one shade lighter than your skin tone so I use it in 'Fair'. Granted I also wear MaxFactor stick foundation once that step is complete and that's very good at covering up what I just put concealer on and gives me an even skin tone all over.

It's worked very well for me, and I'm VERY picky about making sure my beard shadow is not visible. Obviously I know where to look for it and I can zero in with an eagle eye so if I can't see it, then I'm 99% positive other people can't see it.

Funny you should bring up concealer as the other day I bagged the first ever item of make-up that's mine and mine alone: a bottle of concealer I found on the street and stuffed into my pocket as noone was around.

It's a full bottle with a spongey-wand and fairly close to my skin-tone but as it stands I'll just have to save it for much later down the road, I guess it's kind of sad that the highlight of my week was finding a small bottle of make-up that's useless for the time being...but tbh what is the broadest, most generalised description of the uses of concealer and how it can be used to feminise?

[/quot Concealer is used to cover flaws and imperfections its used over foundation and should be I shade lighter than your skin color.:)

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Loving this woman I am becoming.

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)
