Transgender Tips: Makeup, Clothes, How-to Ideas

I find I’m liking the liquid lipsticks more now. For me they are easier to apply
cleanly with the application wand. I still do a lip liner pencil before just so I can
paint within the lines 🙂

HI everyone,
My next door neighbour, a Cis woman, wears stick-on nails all the time. When they get a bit ugly she removes and replaces them with new ones. I have considered this as an alternative,; like
Angela, mine have to come off the next day unless it happens that I can keep them on for a couple of days. It is possible to buy stick on nails in different colours including the style known as French. These have large white tips and the balance of the nail is plain and natural. I haven’t done this yet. Would I be better following Angela’s advice using the specific Sally Hanson pollish?

hi,
yah i fnd my nails start to hurt if i leave my stick-on nails on more than maybe 16 hours. i got the idea of using them from a friend, who’s a cisgender female dentist – she can’t have nails at work but uses them when she goes out with her husband. now (call me obsessive) i stockpile dozens of them to match every outfit!

Hi, I need some advice. I have quite thick and dense eyebrows. And they need constant care for them, so I’m thinking of buying scissors for eyebrows, like these https://www.bestadvisor.com/eyebrow-scissors.
But! I’m saying that over time it will lead to stimulation of hair growth and everything will only get worse, is it? or worth considering other variants

Well Leo222 thick brows are in fashion at the moment. I’ve always tweezed or waxed mine. If you want to spend the money, you can always have something more permanent done, like laser or electrolysis.

Years ago I had a gay beautician who was fabulous. I would always go see him before a big date for help with my hair and makeup. He was also a wealth of information.

Hi,
I have been getting my eyebrows threaded forever, twice a month, at $9.00 a pop. Vanity, thy name is Carla! Well, the ladies at the spa seem to enjoy working on me and they are always fussing and brainstorming about the best way to give me the most feminine eyebrow shape. Afterwards I sometimes also use an electric razor with a guard to keep the hairs from getting too long – but with caution, to make sure the length is 100% consistent! A little eyebrow pencil and voila`! Very nice eyebrows. Anyway I recommend this method because you they can control the shape so well, it’s not terribly painful once you get used to it. If you’e like me, living as female but working as male, you can even find an androgynous/ambiguous medium that looks normal n matter how you’re presenting. And you’ll help some lovely spa lady put her kids through college, too!

How do you do eye makeup? I wear glasses and can’t see close up without. I would love to be able to do..

Use a magnifying mirror. There are various ones, like this, that have a light ring and have one side that magnifies and the other than doesn’t…

Something like this:

I need a local gurl to help me go out for the first time. All expenses paid.

Hi did you find somebody? I am in Baltimore but come to Philadelphia often. It takes some nerve to go out especially if you do not believe you pass. Good idea to have someone with you the first few times. Do you feel passable? If you are close to passing I could help you work on it… ?

Hi Carla, love your ideas. I’m a frequent visitor to Baltimore & former Phila resident. I’d love to share tips & time over coffee or cocktails sometime. Easier to learn in person vs the written word. I am passable.
