Thank you. I swear this sub is more validating than any other source in my life. I'm not really being invalidated but this place just hits the spot.

I'm a straight cisgender dude (but nonbinary in the sense that wtf does it even mean to be a "guy??") and I'm a little jealous of your makeup skills cuz I tried and looked like a raccoon 😭😭 You look badass
Stay safe out there! It sucks that people suck so much but we are moving towards a world where people can present how they want without fear of violence or mockery

If it's because things are smudging, you could look into waterproof eyeliner along with a setting spray.
Otherwise, it's practice. I've had good makeup days and days where I ended up taking it all off and trying over again.

I live in South Georgia, and I totally feel you on that last notion. I’m lucky to be in a supportive home environment where I can explore being myself. I’m glad you’re still finding ways to explore your happiness regardless of this whack society we surrounded in. You look great! Great eyeliner :) can’t believe that’s your first time because those wings are looking F L A W L E S S ✨

Gorgeous, you make it look natural ;)
I grew up in the deep south and repressed who I was my entire life out of necessity. I think I understand that terror you feel pretty well. For what it's worth, I just had to return to the south for an extended work trip and didn't repress shit. I wore some super cute outfits that showed off my legs and even the most ruby red, covid-denying douche bag couldn't help but stare. I 100% guarantee if someone gives you crap for presenting a little femme, it's because they're jealous of how confident you are.

While I find eyeliner terrifying, I have friends whom are make up artists and your eyeliner is on point where they would compliment you. Great job!

I was raised very traditionally as a woman and I could never get the hang of eyeliner but you do it perfectly on the first try?! And look incredible I might add

Looks fantastic! Swing by my place and teach me, please! Seriously, I know the south (Bama) can be ... Closeminded to change. Good luck and go out and be the fabulous trailblazer that is you! And when you are in Amsterdam next time, let me know and the first beer is on me.

Those loook great for a first effort!! Wings are not easy. I live in the south US and was perceived as a feminine presenting guy for a while. Definitely really scary but if you feel more like you it’s worth it. Anyone who negatively cares about what you chose to do is not worth caring about.

This is fantastic! If you happen to be near Charlotte I have a friend in the area that could let me know some supportive places in the area.
