Transgender Tips
For Long Lasting Lipstick: First apply a lip liner
using a lip pencil with color just slightly darker than the
color of your lips, completely filling in your lips, rather
than merely outlining them. Apply your lipstick, then
redefine your lips by outlining them again. Blot with
a tissue and reapply lipstick. Use "matte" formula lipsticks
for longest wear.
Apply black powder eyeliner along the top of false eyelash
to help emphasize the eye.
Wear gloves when you put on nylons, especially if your hands
are rough or your nails are long.
Thank you Leza for the following:
My biggest issue with being a CD was always makeup removal,
especially in an emergency - being unexpectedly interrupted
by wife, girlfriend, roommate, whatever and needing to clean
up FAST. Plus, when I first started, I bought various pricey
makeup remover products.
one word (well, two): BABY
OIL
The most fantastic, cheap,
moisturizing, all purpose (mascara,
eyeliner, etc, takes it all
off in a couple swipes) ever
made. Plus nice to use in the
shower or bath to soften the
skin, and I personally love
the scent.
Use contact cement to apply artificial
nails(AN). Coat the inside of
the AN and your own nail.
Let dry for 5 minutes and then
apply. Do several nails
at once to minimize the time.
This process does take extra
time, but nails hold well.
Soak in water to get off.
Apply false eye lashes before
other makeup, then before going
out check to make sure they
are secure. If there are an
gaps touch up with lash adhesive
on the corner of a small piece
of cardboard about the thickness
of an index card. The
cardboard gets easily into any
cracks.
Best WHR waist to hips ratio is
0.7 (waist 30" hips 42",
waist 35" hips 50",
waist 26 hips 37)

When applying lashes, use a thin line of lash glue, no more
than twice the thickness of the lash ban.
A big smile and bleached teeth
is a huge plus for feminizing
the face. Prices start
at $15 and go into the thousands.
Always carry two or three safety
pins in your purse.
Always use lotion or face cream
before applying makeup.
To stop a run in a stocking or
pantyhose dab clear fingernail
polish at the top of the run.
Carry a spare pair in the car
or your purse.
For Long Lasting Eye Shadow: Apply concealer to your
eyelids, before applying your eye shadow.
For Long Lasting Eyeliner: Apply pencil eyeliner to
your eyes. Then brush the same color powder eye shadow
over the eyeliner. It should last all day.
For Long Lasting Foundation: First apply a moisturizer
throughout your face.
Then apply a liquid foundation,
making sure to cover your entire
face. Apply a concealer
under your eyes and to blemishes.
Then apply generous quantities
of pressed or loose powder to
lock in the foundation, making
sure to brush away the excess.
If you have oily skin, use an
oil-free foundation. If
your skin is dry, use a moisturizing
foundation. If your foundation
still isn't lasting all day,
your moisturizer may not be
optimal for your skin.
If your skin is oily, your make-up
may be traveling, and you may
need an oil-free moisturizer.
If your skin is dry, it may
be soaking up your foundation.
In this case, you may
need a cream moisturizer in
addition to a moisturizing foundation.
Don't store make-up in the car are other places that may
get hot.
Makeup should only be used for about three months after that
there is a risk of infection.
Clean brushes and sponges regularly.
Don't apply makeup while driving.
If you use duct tape, be prepared to suffer the consequences.
If you use glue-on nails, do not rush taking them off.
Apply a coat of nail polish to
nails, let dry then apply glue-on
nails. The nails will
come off easier at the end of
the evening.
Don't have pierced ears?
Sharon DeWitt cuts the post
off earrings and then puts a
drop of fingernail glue on the
back of the earring and applies
the earring to her earlobe.
This gives the appearance of
a pierced ear and stays on all
evening.
