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.

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
