Hi all! I am sooooo excited that I have my second session today and I need to tell someone!
Since the first session was just the getting to know each other, rough plans, aims and so on, I am excited to see what this session brings.
I am hopeful that we can work out a proper plan for the future and that I am not just in a phase. I am low key hoping that HRT is going to be discussed soon because I ordered yesterday in a slight dysphoria filed shopping spree a coat and if it fits I’d transition just to wear it!
Also also, where can I pick up basic makeup skills? Like I need a 101 and ELI5 because I only know (and love) eyeliner + eye shadow. I know nothing else.


eyeliner and shadow is like, the hardest part so you have that going for you :) most days I just use concealer and eyeliner, just to cover stubble and acne. but when I’m prettying up here’s my tldr ->
wash face, shave, dry
primer! always use primer before any makeup
concealer (I like covergirl liquid concealer) under eyes, on bridge below nose, chin, and any acne or problem areas
foundation all over (also covergirl liquid), I use one pump to keep it from caking on too bad
blush! i use a big brush with some red blush from my cheeks up to above my ears (less up there ofc)
eye-shadow next, I love black and dark red but any look good IMO. start from the inside of your eye (by your nose) and lightly brush out until its as thick as you like
eyeliner yay best part, I have these awesome wing stamps my mom gave me, idk the brand but look thar up lol. once I stamp the wings as far out as I want I fill the rest in with nix liquid eyeliner, less below the eye than on top, usually none below the eye unless I’m feeling extra.
also you can use it as you like for flare, I’ll draw streaks down my cheek a bit to simulate tears or do two wings or whatever you want! have fun with it
mascara is pretty simple, just brush it on your lashes as you like
lipstick is last, its a cherry on top. i live black lipstick but its so hard to get right. usually I’ll just use a light pink if I use it at all
hope this helped and congrats :)
This is amazing thank you!!! You make it sound soo easy, hopefully I’ll be good at some point.
But this is sooo exciting already I shall try it as soon as I worked up some courage to buy supplies and all that :3
its simpler than you might think :) keep it basic for now and you’ll improve over time!
