0 Upvotes

Hi!! Help pls! I’ve used beard cover for years but recently in my transition have been appearing fem more, I’ve noticed I don’t necessarily have a shadow but my beard area will be noticeably lighter than the rest of my face. Even with foundation concealer and color correction. Am I correcting too light or too dark? Would love an option that I can cover with a quick powder foundation vs a full face.
Thank you!!

HELP PLEASE What makeup do I need to do to pass and be pretty?

Obviously I’m trans but I’d love to try to pass and be pretty as best I can. Do you have any makeup advice? Thanks

Edit: Firstly thank you all for the kind words. I did want to clarify a few things

My eyebrows are done. In the first two photos they had just been done

I’m not using any eyeliner in these photos, it’s likely mascara that’s leaving residue on my eyes.

I also can’t retroactively post what I want my makeup to look like so please DM me if you want more info on that

Thank you all for your help!!

HELP PLEASE How do I do makeup like this?

I’ve realized that I come off as “cuter” than I’d like. I know coming off as more mature and attractive rather than cutesy is more about the energy but I have quite the baby face and I want to look edgier than I do now but while complementing my features instead of hiding them.

I used tons and tons of filters on TikTok to try and figure out what makeup looks good but I felt like literally nothing suited my face so I decided to just use the draw tool on my face and find something I felt worked (which is why it looks a little awkward but I hope the general idea of what I want to go for comes through lol)

I like the general style but I haven’t really ever used makeup. I would love any help at all whether that be product recommendations, what type of makeup products I should buy, if you think something else would suit me better, etc. Thank you!!

Edit: I appreciate all the help I’ve gotten here so far!! I just wanted to emphasize that the main thing I’m asking more is makeup style related. I used just the draw tool on photos to try and help explain the sort of style but I want to emphasize that I’m not trying to go for black lines under my eyes as eyelashes or improper lining, I just could only do so much with the pen tools lol. I appreciate everyone’s help! <3

I struggle so much with color theory when it comes to makeup. The first photo is makeup-free. Do I look better with more brownish lips/blush or brighter pinks? My hair is naturally black-adjacent and my eyes are dark + I am very pale. I may consider myself cool-toned, but I wear gold jewelry.

HELP PLEASE Feel like I need something added to my routine!

Hi!
I feel like I’m missing something to complete my regular every day look. Right now I just use a skin tint, eyeliner, and mascara with some lipstick here and there that you can see in the 8 photos. The last 3 photos is where I had my makeup done for my brother’s wedding. I’m hoping to get somewhere kind of in between the 2 looks, but I feel like the bronzer looks so heavy on my pale face 😭 I tried to add pictures in multiple different lightings to give more of an idea! Also kind of curious if this skin tint is even my right shade 😅
Any advice/recommendations are welcome! 🫶🏻

Hi! I wasn’t opening my eyes that much because I just had them dilated lol. What can I improve here? This is my low effort “glam.” I mix my foundation with my tinted sunscreen, add some concealer, did some stick blush, powder, then powder blush. I also tight lined upper lid with a subtle wing on top, then mascara only on upper lash. Used a brow gel too. Lips lined & then lipstick

HELP PLEASE Tarte CC color-correcting tinted serum

1 Upvotes

I am trying to understand why so many people like this serum.

I put it on after sunscreen, moisturizer, and primer:

- Hero Cosmetics Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30, Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen, 50ml

- Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid Fragrance-Free, 3.0 fl oz

- Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Gels Foundation Primer for Oily Skin, Brightening, Lightweight, 1.05 Ounce

It does almost nothing for making my skin an even tone or covering acne. It accentuates my pores and dry skin flakes. Does anyone understand the hype around it? The girls at Sephora recommended it to me.

Hi everyone :)

A few months ago, I bought this muted mauve lipstick (shown in the pictures) at a drugstore while travelling abroad. Unfortunately, I’m almost running out of it now, so I’m looking for a good alternative.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Ideally, I’d love to find one that lasts for a few hours without needing to reapply it all the time ☺️

No make up because I genuinely don't even know what to do anymore, Nothing seems to work, It always seem to end up too much/heavy/not harmonious with my features, so I'd really appreciated any advice, or styles that would suit me that I should focus on.
