One of the biggest topics on makeup and beauty is what is achievable, and what is fantasy? I’m going to say it now, and many other beauticians will agree with me.. There is no “fantasy” with makeup, everything is achievable if you put the time and effort into it. Essentially with the skills you build overtime you can create the face you want, and sculpture it to your liking. However, many people struggle at the start and need to realise this takes time. It’s not an over-night job that you can learn instantly. This applies to both cis girls and transgirls.
What can you do with make-up?
Make your nose look smaller.
Make your forehead smaller.
Make your jaw more smaller or more feminine.
Make your cheekbones seem raised.
Highlight features of your face.
Lowlight features you wish to hide.
Make your eyes stand out a lot more, as well as having a seductive look.
If you’re just starting to transition and still have facial hair. You can hide your beard growth.
Build your confidence.
Faces
Some girls pass even without make up. I have quite a feminine face since I transitioned very young.
I know some girls know this, but I want to make it very clear to everyone. Even if did not make the decision to transition at an early age or don’t have a baby feminine face, makeup can and will help you.
However, I will not ignore the fact and truth that teenage transgender girls have an easier time passing due to puberty and hormone levels. Sex hormones are one clear link between appearance and personality.
Testosterone and estrogen influence facial development as well as behavior.
High testosterone shows itself in strong jawbones, darker coloring, and hollower cheekbones.
High estrogen reveals itself in round faces, smooth skin, small chins, sparse facial hair, arched eyebrows, big eyes, plump lips, and wider jawlines. - All of which I have, because I transitioned at 16.
Gal Gadot is a perfect example of a face full of estrogen. Take note of her facial features. While she is not Transgender, Transgender Women can look like this depending on their genetics and the time they start to transition. Or.. If they are an expert in makeup ;)
We make numerous assumptions about people with high-hormone profiles that conform to gender norms: First, that they’re hot.
In a lineup, the high-estrogen Jessica Alba and Beyoncé types receive the highest attractiveness ratings by both genders.
South American girls that are not 100% native for example have strong facial features with very feminized traits, such as plump limps, wide jawlines and small chins. These traits are also extremely common in South American men as well. (Venezuelan people, Brazilian, Argentina and other countries in this area)
Their pretty faces predictably get top ratings for social dominance (high status). As for men, high-testosterone faces are especially desired by women who are ovulating, although women may have a default preference for men with a mix of masculine and feminine features; dominant and cooperative.
Facial Hair Removal For Pre-HRT.
First of;
If your face is red or bleeding after you shave, there’s probably too much friction between the razor and your skin. Skin moisturizer helps reduce that friction.
Follow these steps:
clean face with a facial cleanser and exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.
splash warm water on face to open pores
put gobs of a cheap skin moisturizer over your facial hair region
put shaving cream on top of that
use a clean, smooth razor (preferably one the moves back and forth with your face and bends in the middle)
shave ‘with the grain’. the ‘grain’ isn’t always down so look carefully at your face and neck when you haven’t shaved in a few days.
splash warm water again
put gobs of a cheap skin moisturizer over your facial hair region
put shaving cream on top of that
shave ‘against the grain’
splash lots of water over your face to remove excess shaving cream and moisturizer
Here is a detailed explanation on a transgender woman early into her transition giving extremely good advice for new transitions.
Generally you’ll use a combination of hair removal methods, but it varies from person to person as to how effective each method is. After much trial and error, my preferred methods that work for me are:
Electrolysis on face (and nasal hair trimmer or dry shave to touch up).
A few laser sessions on chest, back, neck and shoulders. Would LOVE to do more. Full body laser is appealing!!
Epilator on lower legs and knees.
Wet shave on the back of knees and lower thigh.
Wet shave or depilatory cream on forearms, wrists and backs of hands.
Dry shave under arms.
Dry shave on back, neck, chest, shoulders and down to the elbow.
Trim on upper thigh, tummy and back.
Tweezer on wrists, backs of hands, and inside of elbow.
The reasons for so many different methods, include: managing skin irritation, avoiding ingrown hairs, avoiding prickly stubble in certain sensitive spots, and getting a more thorough result.
There are some big expenses covered in this post, with laser and electrolysis treatment. If you don’t have the money, please know that the other hair removal options do work, and there are complicated ways to cover up stubble with makeup. You may also discover that surgeries are a higher priority for you, over hair removal. Every transition is an individual process.
Finally, estrogen HRT goes a long way to making the hair battle easier to fight, because it slows down body hair growth, lightens the average density of individual hairs, and reduces overall body hair volume.

What are the pros?
While laser hair removal doesn’t get rid of hair forever (only electrolysis is FDA-approved for permanent hair removal), it does drastically reduce hair growth—to the point that you can stop shaving altogether.
You can get it done anywhere on the body, and the machine can cover large places fast. Legs, back, underarms, bikini line, stomach, face…There is no limit to the places you can get laser hair removal.
When it comes to pain level, laser hair removal falls somewhere between shaving (painless) and waxing (holy hell that hurts). The technicians use ice to help numb the area before and after the laser treatment. It also gets progressively less painful as treatments continue and the hair becomes finer
What are the cons?
It’s a long process. A session of laser hair removal on the underarms takes less than a minute. However, it takes multiple sessions to see real results (anywhere between three and eight depending on the size of the area), and you generally have to wait six weeks between treatments.
It’s expensive. If you add up how much you spend on razors or bikini wax sessions in your lifetime, it might be worth the $200-$400 per session of laser hair removal. You can think of laser hair removal as a beauty investment.
Since the contrast between the color of the skin and the color of the pigment in the hair follicle is what allows the laser to easily pick out what to target, laser hair removal works best on fair skin with dark hair and worse on darker skin. “In patients with darker skin tones the pigment-rich skin competes with the hair follicle for the laser’s attention,“ says Charles. This doesn’t mean it’s not a possibility for darker skin types, but you’ll want to make sure the facility you go to is properly equipped. Certain lasers, like the Nd:YAG, are better at distinguishing between hair and skin on all skin types.
If done by an untrained technician, laser hair removal could leave burns or scars on the skin. Unfortunately, licensing procedures vary from state to state, and sometimes there are no requirements at all. Beware of “laser centers” and make sure to ask where your laser technician was certified to do the procedure. Even doctors who want to provide laser hair removal treatments need further training. “Laser treatment is not taught in medical school, so physicians performing laser treatments also need training and certification,” dermatologist Marina Peredo, M.D., told SELF in a previous interview.
HRT also does not affect masculinized facial hair (beard). Only laser (permanent hair reduction) and electrolysis (permanent hair removal) can change that. If your face already has minimal facial hair then transitioning early will help for the future.
Research has shown improvements in skin elasticity, moisture and skin thickness in women using either topical or oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can improve skin hydration by replacing oEstrogen levels in your body. Many women who take HRT often notice that their skin becomes brighter with an improved texture and tone. HRT can also reduce ageing of your skin.
Things you will notice:
Breast growth
Wider hips
Fat being distrusted to different regions of the body. (Bum, breasts, etc..)
Skin becomes clearer
Cuter face & eyes
Female Orgasms: 10x stronger than Male Orgasm. HRT may cause shrinking and reduce your erections, on the positive side is the fact that transwomen can get female orgasms. And you don’t need an erection or an ejaculation to have one either.
Thicker eyelashes
Loss of strength. Slimmer body and feminized features.
Smelling like a woman and not having a manly alpha smell.
This is just a small outline of changes you will encounter while on HRT. I will write up a full guide and text on HRT soon.
Me and MY Beauty
In the changes I have experienced while being on HRT since 16, and am now 20 is amazing.
I am a real woman.
I have breasts, wider hips, my legs are smooth and long, my skin and face is as cute as ever, my orgasms are intense and can squirt out my juices from being pounded by a partner, I am slimmer and have lost the majority of my ‘manly’ muscles, although I had not much at all to start with, my fat is distributed into other regions such as my ass cheeks.
Everything has worked out perfect. Of course the road I have taken in life was not easy, and there were many days where I was not confident with how I was.
I have faith in everyone being able to pass, and there is other routes in life you can take if you still do not feel confident, such as FFS (Full-Facial Surgery).
Is it achievable?
In short, after all of this. Isn’t it obvious? Of course it is possible and achievable. Everything in life takes time to master and understand how things work.
People do not get their license and become a professional driver straight away, computer coders don’t instantly start off as super-hackers, school teachers don’t straight away start off as confident and successful with their classes and explaining their work to students.
Time is everything, and practice makes perfect. This is the same for makeup and beauty.
The only ‘unrealistic’ beauty standards is the unhealthy lifestyles of becoming extremely obese to the point where it affects your health, as well as becoming overwhelmingly skinny where you are not eating right.
@soulofaprincess releases yet another incredible guide. Not many people make guides about HRT so this is such a valuable post. Even if you aren’t considering HRT, reblog it so someone who is can find it.
