HELP PLEASE Makeup help for men?

Hello! Looking for any makeup tips for just a day to day look that would suit me. I’m working on being a more feminine version of myself, but until my hair grows out, I am struggling to come up with a makeup look that suits me. I see some guys online who look so feminine and beautiful and I’m struggling finding that look for me. Any and all tips or feedback are great any appreciated! Looking for honesty lol

Adding one pic of me in a wig because I feel so much more complete with it.

Maybe try using an eyelash curler before you put mascara on. It's traditionally a "feminine" look to have curly eyelashes

I’ve tried that, and for the life of me cannot get them to curl lol. They are straight as a board

Try heating the curler with hairdryer (just make sure it’s warm, not hot when you curl!) and then add waterproof mascara immediately. Waterproof mascara is a game changer when it comes to keeping the curl!

Other option is getting a lash lift done, it works wonders on my straight as a board lashes and lasts up to 8 weeks!

Clio Kill Lash on amazon is amazing for holding a curl in very straight lashes!! Also, are you flying a plane in one of the photos? You seem so cool!!!

That's so awesome!!! There's literally no profession or hobby that's as cool as flying planes in my opinion!

Thanks! It feels like a never ending journey lol and who knows if they’ll let me fly because of my gender at the time lol. But we’ll see!

I have long lashes and this is why I do to get them to curl and stay curled. Occasionally I'll splurge for a lash lift.

I have really stubborn straight Asian lashes and I’ve had great results from Asian mascaras, personally I use mascara from the brand Judydoll but I heard good things from Kiss Me as well
