Crossdressing Tips 10 Simple Ways To Look & Feel More Feminine.
Go Bold and Bright
Mixing and matching bright colors into your wardrobe is a great way to look more feminine. Try a bright pair of shoes, or a pop of color in your handbag or belt.
Wear Clothes That Fit
Fit your clothes to your body, make sure they fit and do not swallow you up. Accentuate the areas of your body like your hips with a flare skirt or peplum top, and learn to hide the areas that look masculine like our shoulders with a cardigan. You can also take items to a local tailor to have them altered to fit better.
Wear Perfume.
Smelling more feminine will help you FEEL more feminine. Find a scent that works for YOU.
Wear Heels.
To me this is the ultimate in feeling more feminine. Nothing makes me feel more girly than a sexy pair of heels.
Wear Jewelery
It is surprising how much the right necklace & earrings can make you look more feminine.
Try a new wig.
Curls and waves look etremely femme, and will have you feeling more femenine too.
Get Sexy.
Slip on some sexy underwear, & a sexy bra...
Know What Works For Your Body.
Know what style dresses, tops, skirts etc work well for your body type. Get to know your shape, and how to make the clothing you wear work for you.
Heaven In a Handbag...
I love a great handbag, and it is one item that definately makes me feel more feminine. Even if your at home, practice walking & carrying your handbag, you will be amazed at how feminine you will feel.
All the small things.
Pay attention to little details and accents. Like maybe a bow in your hair. A bright color nail polish. How about a patterned scarf? Little details will go a long way making you feel more feminine and LOOK more feminine too.

Crossdressing Beard Cover Makeup Tips How To Hide & Conceal A 5 O'Clock Shadow Product Review
Beard cover is one of the most important, if not THE most important step in doing your makeup as a crossdresser. Hiding that beard stubble & 5 o'clock shadow can be a challenge. Recently I was turned on to a new product to help hide that dreaded beard shadow and what I like about it is it is VERY light, and with a great shave, can go right under your foundation.
Mehron Clown Pink is a great product to use before your foundation. It neutralizes the dark/blue shade of your beard hair FIRST. Apply lightly over your beard areas with a sponge applicator, then apply your normal foundation over the top.
I have added this product to my daily makeup routine and I am happy with the results, it gives you full coverage with alot less of a cake look . Less is always more when it comes to makeup. Highly recommended. To check out Mehron Clown Pink you can see it RIGHT HERE
There are so many products out there for beard cover, and what is MOST important is that you find the products that work best for YOU for more information on different beard cover products and great shaving tips CLICK HERE
Crossdresser Makeup Tips Mac & Smashbox Makeup Haul
This weeks Makeup Monday features a Mac & Sephora Makeup Haul from my gal pal Samantha Prescott. She, like me is a makeup snob, and spares no expense on her beauty products. I always like to learn about new makeup so this week Samantha will be showing us all the new things she hauled in from Mac & Sephora....What did you get Samantha ??
I'll get to the MAC products first:
Studio Prep and Prime:
This is exactly what it sounds to be. It is a primer to be applied after moisturizing your face. It is very silky and emollient, it is applied with your fingers and goes on smoothly. It can be worn to smooth the appearance of your face and fine lines. It is best to let it set for a bit before starting to apply your makeup.
Studio Blot Pressed Powder:
This powder can be used to set your makeup and also to control shine that happens during the day. It is a good product to use on your T zone to control oil and for touching up over the course of the day or evening.
Pro Longwear Concealer in NW15:
I bought this for 2 reasons. I read that this not only good for under eyes, covers well and is light enough to not look creased. It is also good for lightening up areas you will be highlighting. I am NW25 so I went 2 shades lighter as was recommended. A little goes a long way and I can already tell that it be a good multi use product.
Pearlglide Intense Eye Pencil:
Designer Purple was the color I chose, I LOVE THIS pencil, it is smooth and creamy, glides on effortlessly, the color is bold with a bit of fine fleck in it, best of all it holds up well and stays in place. The only downside is that you will need to get a MAC sharpener or one made specifically for plastic pencils. You might also want to chill the pencil before sharpening since it is extremely soft.
Studio Chromagraphic pencil:
This is a super multi use pencil. NC20/NW15 is one of the shades I chose. This is soft and blendable, it can be used to conceal and highlight, help hide fine lines, and use on the upper and lower water lines to make your eyes look wide open. If you are going for a natural eye look this is perfect. I also bought this in Pure White as it will work perfectly in my inner corners of my eyes, on my waterlines, or to even use under eyeshadow on my lids to make lighter shadows stand out and pop.
On to the Smashbox products:
Layer Lash Primer:
Layer Lash Primer:
This primer is white of course. It is emollient, nutrient rich, and thick. It works fantastic and really adds very noticeable volume and length after just one coat of mascara is applied on top. You should be ready to apply your mascara immediately after you apply it because it dries very quickly. I would also recommend that you brush and separate your lashes prior to applying the primer
Always Sharp Lip Liner:
Violet was my choice, it is described as a Bold Berry. The color on this liner certainly pops, it applies well, is retractable and self sharpening. It colors in my lips well and holds my lipstick and gloss in place without feathering.
Naked Fusion Soft Lights: first in Baked Stardust which is a combination of Peach/Soft Gold/Deep Tan/Champagne /Bronze/Starburst
and secondly,
Naked Fusion Soft Lights: in Starburst which is a combination of Pale Pink/Soft Pink Shimmer/Ivory/Rose/Champagne/
and secondly,
Naked Fusion Soft Lights: in Starburst which is a combination of Pale Pink/Soft Pink Shimmer/Ivory/Rose/Champagne/
If you don't like a Shimmery product I would not recommend them. I can say they are buildable, versatile, and could be perfect for those who are blessed to be able to get away with very little makeup.
Photo Op Eye Shadow Trio:
My choice was Vignette, the colors are described as Parfait (Matte Ballet Pink), Amethyst (Shimmery Violet with Copper Pearl), Aubergine (Dark Matte Plum)
This eyeshadow looks great in the compact the pale pink is VERY light, the three together will probably work well for a subtle smokey day look. I'm not sold on this yet. I'll either work it in with my UD Naked 3 palette or return it in exchange for another lip liner, or maybe even use the pinks for some evening contouring. There's a bit of resourcefulness and thinking outside the box.
There you have it, I hope that this will be helpful looking to add a new staple to your makeup bags ;.)
