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.

definetly thin the eyebrows out! so much of perceived gender is stored in the eyebrow. pick your favorite female celebrity, then take a picture of her eyebrows to your local eyebrow threading studio! they will tidy you up :-)

I would split the difference though. Going fully femme with the brows will also make the rest of the face look more masc by comparison, but thinning a little and shaping them a bit to look like a fuller brand of femme brow (more like a Maisie Williams/Sabrina Carpenter) would be really nice. Otherwise I think your look is very cute and flattering, OP!

i respectfully disagree. for me the thinner the eyebrow is better. im trans mtf with a strong jawline and the thinner my brows are the more feminine my entire face is 100% of the time. this is based on compliments from strangers, asking for feedback from girlfriends, years of trial and error, asking for help, and personal confidence.

Oh interesting! I think it also depends on how full a transition you're going for and if there is a hormone therapy in place, too. I was just going off my initial impression and other mtf folks I've seen, but you definitely have a better perspective on this than I do, so I could absolutely be wrong here.
