Thanks in advance!

Hi Sarah! Hugs

In make up there are some basic beauty rules. If you follow them you will look great even if you have a masculine face. And even if an ordinary girl doesn't follow them result will be a mess up.

I have get this hints from a wiki page. I cant remember the link then I'm going to post them here for you. source : Wikipedia

Tips and tricks to applying makeup.

Makeup! It's tricky business getting it right, and to many, it's a huge part of getting ready each day. The biggest thing to remember when applying makeup for daytime wear is this: the aim is to accentuate your most flattering features, not to create new ones. That's a mistake many people make; they overdo it and end up with makeup more suited for a night out rather than a subtle pallet for daytime.

For people with light skin, darker colours are more suited to nighttime wear, with the opposite being true for day; use lighter colours. The darker your skin, the darker the pallet, but don't go too dark, or you'll still end up with a look better suited for a night out.

With eyeliner, be sure to follow the lash-line closely; don't leave a gap between the lashes and the pencil line. If you do, you'll more often than not end up with a sort of look that hints at a lazy makeup job, even if it took you an hour to put your makeup on.

For people with big eyes, the more subtle makeup is usually better; if you use stronger shades, you'll end up making your eyes look even bigger than they are. For those with smaller eyes, strong shades are still not such a grand idea, but it doesn't produce quite as radical an effect as with large eyes; it is simply a look better reserved for night wear.

Earth tones are always the safest bet when applying makeup for daytime wear. Their subtlety gently blends with any skin in the right combination. Earth tones are very handy to have in your makeup stash, for the simple reason that they're completely foolproof, as long as they're not applied heavily. Use them in moderation, and you should always be just fine.

A very important tip when applying makeup: Be sure to have VERY GOOD lighting. If you're applying your makeup without proper lighting, you're very likely to end up applying it far too heavily; it always looks lighter in the dark, thus the importance of proper lighting.

Sorry, another question! :)

Any tips on how to simulated shaved legs when it is clearly not the case? I want to be able to wear sheer pantyhose, would a flesh coloured opaque stocking underneath look ok or not?

Thanks again...

To simulate shaved legs, meaning you don't have to shave your legs, try wearing two layers of pantyhose. I think an opaque pantyhose underneath would work, then wear nude or natural pantyhose on top of it.

      I don't see how.   I know my own spiritual practices are pretty minority.  I don't have a problem with other folk's as long as they're not attacking me.

      Best Buy has not been on my "highly preferred" list for some time now because of in-store service in my area.  One security guard, one manager always on break for 8 hours, 5 sales "advisors" in regard to several million $$ in merchandise that I may want to buy a small amount of, but cannot find what I want, and then told to order it online and I can pick it up in 5 hours when I need it NOW.  At least they have not pegged me as Trans for a long time, but you get that they have one unhappy Trans person who has been there.  On the bright side I don't have to worry about financing their donations to anti-trans causes this way because I am not buying anything there.

      “we understand that it’s unrealistic for Best Buy to leave HRC in the near future because of their political clout.”   Just go after the defenseless.   Or perhaps the Lavender Scare.
    • Davie
      Yeah. Maybe they're getting tired of being laughed at? Or their Trans Panic is wearing off? "All Anti-LGBTQ+ Bills Defeated In Georgia. Every anti-LGBTQ+ bill was defeated in Georgia as the legislature adjourned Sine Die after midnight Thursday. Is the anti-trans panic losing steam, or is it pausing until after the election?" https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/all-anti-lgbtq-bills-defeated-in?publication_id=994764&post_id=143079115&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      I'm sorry. Good thing have that. I don't have any friends due to abandoning I get ghosted all the time.  Don't know when to stop communicating

      Actually a good start there for us in this group.  You fit into a pattern of which each of us is one piece, but the whole pattern is wide a beautiful.

      I certainly hope I did not offend anyone.  I am well aware that not everyone celebrates the same religious beliefs or holy days.  My ancestors changed from Catholic to Church of Scotland at some point and eventually became Presbyterian.  My father did not believe at all, although he would accompany his grandfather to the church the family went to when his grandfather went to fix something.  My mother found it funny when I became a deacon and I’m certain she is dumbfounded that I am an elder and trying to become a commissioned pastor.   The class I am taking now is about the Old Testament taken from the Jewish perspective but also touches on Islam and leads into Christianity.  The text book talks about all the different ancient religions in the Fertile Crescent and the wars fought between them and some thought as to why.  Generally, food and access to areas that were suitable for growing a variety of things.  Not unlike the discussion we’ve been having.   i lived in Thailand which was principally Buddhist, and I learned a bit about them as well.   Willow

      Instead of a news section, I wonder if we do not need a section titled: You Can't Make This Stuff Up.   I just read this link, https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/best-buy-offers-screen-lgbtq-nonprofit-donations-conservative-pressure-rcna145603   Apparently, a conservative think tank is getting Best Buy to audit what their employees are donating to, in order to route out LGBTQ support. Is this the 1930s in a European country with designs of having a thousand year empire? What I do not get is Best Buy pandering to this conservative PAC, but then again, we saw how the anti-LGBTQ, and especially the anti-trans forces attacked Budweiser, and Target.

      I'm not sure how to start, so I'll just dive right in.   I've been trying (passively until recently) for years to pinpoint my sexuality and my gender. I grew up in a VERY rural, mostly conservative area. When I was a kid in the early-mid 2000's, there was only straight, bi or gay. When people asked if I was bi, I would say "I guess so", or "close enough" because I never focused on or thought about gender when I found myself attracted to someone. "Trans" was a rare term and often misrepresented among teens and young adults. "Pansexual" and "demisexual" did not exist in my area, nor did any terms for gender identity except male, female, or some vague androgyny. I was always very open about my orientation growing up, and my mom and siblings were, for the most part, accepting of who I identified as orientation-wise.   I moved to a major city at 21 and had wonderful, freeing, horizon-broadening experiences that helped me nurture not only my orientation but also opened my eyes to different gender identities. I was very feminine in my early twenties, and frankly, quite underweight. I leaned into that identity (wearing bodycon dresses, fishnets, etc.) although I felt better being seen as "strong" or more athletic than the women around me. As I got older, I started dressing more masculine, and I felt a small rush of gratitude when someone said "sir" and not "ma'am." Dudes would always "correct" themselves when they saw my face. It always bummed me out.   In the past year, I have left the major city and returned home to my smaller town to focus on my mom and siblings, and my relationship to them. I think with the distance from the 'hustle and bustle', I have had a lot of time to consider where I want to be in life, and also who I want to be moving forward. For several years now, I've worn masculine clothes, bound my chest, focused on deepening my voice, even "walking like a man." My mannerisms have completely changed, and I view myself very differently than I did a few years ago.   After a long period of consideration and deep introspection, I have decided to search for a therapist that can help with hormone replacement therapy. I'll be 28 this year but am hoping to process this change healthily and view it as an experience that not only transforms me for the better but also makes me a more empathetic and emotionally aware man.   I do have a few questions as I commit to this change in myself:   What did you say to come out to your family, friends and loved ones? What, today, would you say differently (if anything)? Are there initial steps in the FtM hormone/physical process that you would recommend for taking care of oneself? How did you/how have you navigated hormonal changes in yourself? What is the biggest change you have seen that you did NOT expect? How has transitioning altered your relationships with family (immediate and distant), friends, and potential partners? Is there something in particular you want/wanted to hear or know from your loved ones? Did you hear it? Did it impact you positively or negatively to hear or not hear it? What specific boundaries did you/have you set with your loved ones regarding your transition? Are there boundaries you wish you would have set? Why? Have you found the support you needed to help you through transition? Have you experienced any "[informed] expectation vs reality" clashes? If so, how have you navigated those conflicts?   Thank you so much for any insight. Thank you for taking the time to read, and especially the time and thought to respond. I'm so happy to be here, I'm trying to be concise, but my mind is being pulled in 8 different directions these days.

      Somewhat. There were times were time felt like it was standing still. I tried to look towards each week. I would count down to the days that I was going to replace estrogen patches and then I would look forward to my next ozempic injection. Plus spending a lot of time on here helped but it was always the end of the day where it seemed slowest.

      The name is short for Abigail Genevieve.   So if you pronounce it, the second G is soft.  Or just call me Abby.
