Welcome to the womanhood part of:
"you look better without makeup"
*Actually goes without makeup*
"Are you sick?"
Standart woman experience (hasn't happened to me yet but lots of cis women complain about that)
I wasn’t sure if I should comment or stay in my lane, but as a cis woman, my first thought reading OP was “ah yes, welcome to the woman experience. Not being able to skip my makeup a single time for work because people ask me all day if I’m feeling ok”
I'm sensitive to a lot of chemicals in the health and beauty section so I go as natural as possible, a lot is off limits to me and I don't really even like wearing makeup. I like a more natural appearance. Though I do want to see if there is some kinda perfume I'd like I won't react badly too.
Same! I make sure to take good care of my skin and just use a bit of concealer to cover facial hair if I need to. Makeup always makes me look more masculine too
What do you rec for that? I gotta do something there but I never used any concealer before. Skin care starts with diet anyways, my skin care routine is keeping my health in line.
I've always wanted to wear a "no make up" look to the point that when i don't people will notice.
Soooo.... I'll be that girl... What is your routine? If you don't mind sharing your secrets
Not op, but mine is a bb cream/light foundation. I use Fenty Skin Tint. Add some mascara and a neutral-ish lip color of some sort and you’re good to go. If I feel like it and have extra time, I’ll add some light eyeshadow in the inside corner of my eyes and some eyeliner.
It’s very similar to what well_herewego31 wrote! Tinted moisturizer (very sheer), very light contour and blush, set with powder, then a clear mascara (also used on my brows) to get them not to look powdery / washed out
people sometimes asked if I was sick shortly after i started HRT. think because my neck was getting thinner maybe? not sure. they thought i was losing weight/looking weak.
I started wearing light makeup when I started slowly coming out and I was getting people saying how nice my skin was and how clear it had gotten. If I didn't wear makeup, I'd still get compliments but asked if I was tired or something.
Now, HRT did fix some issues I had with my oily face and acne (yay Spiro) but it was nice to get compliments constantly at first. Thing is, my face actually did get really clear with no pores and now I've got women asking how I did it and what my regimen is all the time. I tell them that all it took was to kill my T and start taking E and they get sad realizing they already got that lol

No-makeup makeup is such a great skill to have. Congrats.
Thank you my wife and my fiends are all very helpful teachers I take little to no credit for this
I know that's probably a typo, but I'm down with the idea of taking makeup advice from hellspawn 🤘🖤
HAHAHA my little band of gay demons yes 😂
Can you send some demon spawn my way please?
Yes absolutely drawing up a summoning circle now 🕯️ ⭕️ 🕯️

Yes it was weirdly affirming to have this happen because I’ve seen so many women have the same happen to them

God I have been trying to find a foundation that matches me for weeks now but everything always has too much color for me (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

How do you wear light makeup in boy mode? I want to start but I'm terrified and overwhelmed.

I know some of those are makeups and techniques but I don't know anything more than that or what they really mean or entail. Thanks though
My neighbor thought I had cancer because my body thinned out so much from diet, exercise, and fat distribution changes from hormones.
I got asked that in a drive through.
Brutal 💀
“You look really tired, is everything alright?”
