Concealer and a stick foundation works for me to cover beard shadow.

Oh and a nice berry shade of lipstick, since red is very difficult to wear effectively (for me anyway).

facial make up that matches your skin tone......I see so many girls that wear totally wrong shades of make up for their skin..or to much make up...I like simplicity...liquid foundation,lite powder,eye brow pencil,mascara,earth tone eye shadow.....And one Ive had a really hard time doing is dressing my age group..I want to be thirty again..

LOL

Laser hair removal in place of electrolosis(except for eyebrows), I was lead to believe laser wasn't perm, but at least in my case it was & much less painful!

Personally I am trying to bring back hats with veils!

Taking care of two problem areas, my hairline and my face!

I use very little make up, and none on my eyes, because I just can't get it right.

Love ya,

Sally

I use Ben Nye theatrical make up. I start with a conceler on my beard and uper lip I let that set for about ten minutes. This is a good time to do your nails. Then I put on my cover up. I also love what rough does for my cheeks. I smile big and start where my cheeks peak near my nose and make a V shape back toward my ear. Than I put some on my chin to balance the color. Next I move to the eyes. I start with eye liner just under the lower lid. The I aply some green to the part of my eye lid nearest the lashes. The upper part I use purple pulling the color just outside of my eye brow. I finish with mascara focusing on getting it even to the ends upper and lower. The last thing I do is put a little rough between my bbreast to enhance the clevage. This gives the appearence of depth.

The last thing I do is powder my nose and cheek with a clear power on a puff pad. Remember to do the mascara after the eye shadow. This is improtant if you have eye lids like min that you have to hold down to apply eye shadow to them.

Last improtant note make sure you have make up remover pads or lotion and nail polish remover. Eye liner can be hard to remove so be patient and gental with your eyes.

I hope you will play with these suggests and find a look that works for you. I love my look and when I am driving and get stopped by a red light, I pull down the sun visor and look in the mirror and love what I see.

Happy times

Waterproof mascara!

and don't forget to buy a bottle of eye makeup remover since you'll need that to take off said mascara.

(and some cottonballs if you don't currently have some. and I had to squish those words together to avoid the word filter and seeing "cotton testicles" :huh: )

red is very overrated, red is very unnatural.

This is a good topic! I try to use makeup a little bit and as natural as possible.

I use Shiseido concealers, one match my skin tone for beard shadow, and blue, green and purple one if my skin have red spots, yellow spots ...etc. After that, I use liquid foundation a bit sparingly over the whole face.

For eyes, I use eyeliner pencils for the water lines first, then over the eyelines. I use eyelash curlers to set the eyeslashes for the right curve, then use a bit mascara to set them and use curlers again. Eyeshadows I use a bit to make the eyes bigger and more lively.

I use both eyebrow pencils and eyebrow powder cause only eyebrow pencil makes my eyebrows too bold. A blend of them looks more natural.

After everything is done, I use transparent powder with a puff to set the makeup and use a large brush to remove excessive powder. It can last for the whole day and help control my face oil from coming out.

I use lipgloss mostly and the colour depends on my mood or colour of clothes.

Makeup remover I use Laroche Posay with cotton pads.

Skin care after a day of makeup is very important for me. After face wash, I use deep cleaning lotion and balancing lotion to refresh and tighten my skin. The last thing before my beauty sleep is eye cream and night cream. That sounds like a lot....

What a great topic! Here are some non-cosmetic tips:

1) regular exercise is the best to give your skin a healthy, natural glow.

2) your hair--the right style and cut for your face shape and right color to set off your eyes and skin tone. (I wear a wig like my bio sister's natural hair-- she was a Miss Oregon finalist and we look a lot alike)

3)wearing the right colors for you. I have a book on the subject which breaks your flattering colors down to "winter" (thats me) summer, spring and autumn (you natural red-heads), especially the colors you wear next to your face. BTW it is impossible to tell the right colors for you in the artificial store lights. As a winter I can wear black and navy and love a peacock blue. Olives, yellows and oranges are for you autumn girls--they look absolutely drab on me!!

4) I think staying thin is a matter of taste. I love having a Rubens female figure with big hips and big breasts! ala Mae West!!! When I started wanting to be attractive to men as a woman I was way less concerned about being thin.

5) Lizzy---you said it-- a great smile is the best beauty secret!!

One of my best kept beauty secrets that has helped me bunches is simply when makeup shopping enlist the help of one of your friends who you think does an amazing job with her makeup. If she has that good of an eye to know what colors work for her she can most likely help you find colors that will work for you.

Even if she's not physically with you, ask her what she thinks your skin tone is and what colors she thinks would work best for you.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      You look wonderful!!! A rose among the roses.
    • Ashley0616
      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.
    • MaeBe
      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
