I hope you're not suggesting I know anything about applying makeup!

However, that said, I do have a small suggestion that comes from my stage days more than anything: regardless of what foundation you do use, you'll want to blend it all the way down your neck and chest. And I agree with monster, the purple eyeshadow is subtle and very nice!

actually, on the eyes, I checked.

I used three different colors. Krisp on the inside, Digit in the middle and Intoxicate on the outside. All of these are by Mac. My lipstick is Plumful and my eyeliner is Macroviolet Fluidline. Yes, I keep records! There are also different shades of foundation, concealer, highlighter and blush. Mostly plum in color.

I'm glad you're comfortable sharing with us. Are there any health implications for you in your change?

All this make up talk is making me feel unfeminine and dumpy

I only wear it 2-3xs a year and always feel like a clown (and yes I do know what looks good and how to do it ect but it still takes me an hour or so b/c my hands are so shaky I often have to restart with the eyes).

Hmf!

Pam, I'm sure you have checked, but what about online clothing stores target towards the transgendered? Also, "plus size" specialty stores (what a stupid term IMHO - most plus sized clothing is not that far from average. Instead of having plus sized clothing in special store/section they ought to do that with the tiny clothes) might have more things that would fit your frame.
All women have issues finding affordable/flattering clothing.

I think I have applied make-up about 4 times in the last 18 months :p

My secret: I don't have big toenails...they've both been removed due to ingrown issues. Been gone since HS.

Pretty fucking boring, I know.

Griff · 04-02-2011, 04:05 PM

Two fewer to paint.

elSicomoro · 04-02-2011, 04:56 PM

I usually paint the areas anyway.

monster · 04-02-2011, 05:23 PM

I would paint the remaining 8 and glue googly eyes on those two.

Yes there are. But I have preexisting issues. My doctor is working on the big ones first, then the smaller ones. So we're getting me on the right meds to control my wildly out of control thyroid first and foremost.

Then, the vitamin deficiencies will be addressed.

My hormones fit in the middle somewhere.

The basic transition without the complications can be dangerous if you are allergic to any of the drugs, if you don't follow the directions exactly or don't get your blood checked frequently.

But mostly there is little real risk if I do what I'm told.

I can elaborate if you wish but that should answer the question. I hope.

Technically some1 else put mine on me at least 2 of the most recent times. Sister's wedding - pro, Halloween - a friend.

Yes mtp, I have. And I do buy some things online but I prefer to try them on. I just hate the gamble of guessing my size, waiting for it to arrive, trying it on then returning it for exchange. It takes forever just to buy a blouse! I do NOT understand female sizing at all!

The plus sizes still don't really fit until I get to 2X or 3X but then while my shoulders and chest fit, the rest is way too loose. I sometimes take something I otherwise love to a seamstress and have her resize it to fit me but that is spendy!

I have threatened to parade around in maternity wear to see what happens but haven't quite had the nerve yet!

why even bother with make up? most of you are so pretty without it, the make up serves as a distraction.
