It looks nicefrom what i can see. Its subtle and doesnt look overdone. :)

Just a random tip, face/eye primers are good to have your makeup stay on for long busy days. Hydrating day creams are key for smoother application of foundation.

Rea,

I was too busy staring at the beautiful woman in those pictures to even notice any make up. I mean wow o.o you look gorgeous! You've got such a great smile!

It's been a while since I've put on any make up myself so I can't really offer any tips. I just wanted to say you look great!

*Hugs*

I wear a darker line under the eyes. I think your eyes would come out a little with a darker line. Mascara would help too.

I am not a fan of red lipstick, but that's me. Some girls look great in it, but the bronzier colors look better. You have nice lips so you can pull it off.

Very pretty.

Can you get a clearer picture?

Thanks so much for the complements and suggestions.

Autumn,

I was using my phone camera. It kinda stinks as you can tell from the poor quality. I can use my digital camera tomorrow and post some clearer pictures. Thanks for the tips. I'm not that keen on red lipstick either, but for some reason that color looked hot when I put it on. lol

It's been fun experimenting and finding my style.

Unless its just how you are aiming the camera, you may want to go half a shade darker on you foundation since your neck is much darker than the face area, although the hair color and foundation work well, thats why I say only a little more on the beige side. Also, work the foundation onto your under chin and neck to help too. My coloration and complexion are actually close to yours and I tend to either go for a Bordeaux or a Coral lipststick. You have NOT overdone the eye shadow and for that I congratulate you. Autumn's suggestion about the mascara (for which black is OK), but black is not a good choice for the under eye liner with your hair color,

I'm going to post some more pic's today. I wanted to know about any suggestions for my eyes. I have Grey/Green or Grey/Blue hazel eyes. Depends on my mood among other things how my eyes change color. So any tips would be great!

Thanks

I'm not sure if these links will be allowed since they're not trans related. If the Moderators need to remove them you can just good, "Best Eyeshadow for grey eyes" and the article will come up. There may also be articles on grey blue and grey green eyes as well.

and unfortunately I didn't find anything worth bugging a mod over for gray-green eyes. Do a web search and see what comes up though. I've learned a lot about different eye shadows for my green eyes.

Hope this helps. Good luck Rea!

Okay, I need new makeup. I have been watching these YouTube video's by Kandee Johnson and discovered that I need to get a few more things. Having hazel eyes is a little different, because my wifeband :P and I don't share the same color pallet. I need to go shopping. oh Darn!

I have noticed that natural tones for eye shadow works best for me and to play around with different colored eyeliner. Applying eyeliner in different way can bring out the eyes and just have neutral or natural colored shadow so it doesn't look overdone. Like change it up and put a light color on the wet line and a darker color (preferably not black) on the lash line and try choosing a colors to go with what you are wearing.

So these video's that Kandee makes are pretty good. She has a lot of tips for blending colors on your cheeks too, I love these.

I have noticed MAC is very trans-woman friendly. Every time I go the the mall I see that MAC has no problem employing some of our sisters. I think that is very cool and for that I will be checking them out first. Plus they have some really cool stuff that I want. lol

Anyway I will post some pic's after I get the right items and have a little practice. I don't want to scare anyone.

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷
