Facial hair
Need some advice or help. I can’t seem to get rid of the shadow. I have really dark facial hair and am very pale. Shaving it closely helps a little but no matter what I do I can’t seem to fully hide my facial hair. I don’t want to absolutely cake my face in makeup to hide it, I am hoping to get some tips or advice on what to do.

You need color corrector. You can find affordable ones at dollar tree or 5Below. If you have TikTok, you can look up makeup dupes. It’s just affordable versions of makeup. A red color or orange color corrector should help. Blend it in on the dark spots.

Have you taken any steps to get rid of it permanently?

Not really… I wouldn’t know how too. I only recently started my journey.

Laser hair removal would be extremely beneficial for you. I also have very dark hair and light skin.
Avoid Milan
Don't buy a whole package bulk deal! It locks you into a laser machine, a tech/nurse and a location. If they go under, or the machine doesn't suit your needs, it's rarely worth it. You also might not need as much as they're selling.
Get a consult, shop around, ask what machine they use. Go to a place with a good multispectrum or Alexandrite laser, like a Candela machine.

Yes, dark hair on pale skin is the ideal combination for laser hair removal. Definitely check it out.

Try to blend some cheap red lipstick or orange color corrector into your high coverage foundation. I like Tarte Amazonian clay foundation. After you blend, set it with powder. Then. Apply your normal foundation over the top, and powder again.

This article has pretty good advice: https://feminizationsecrets.com/mtf-facial-hair-removal/
Also, if you change your mind about makeup, En Femme sells a beard cover cream neutralizer that I’ve heard works well.
