A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

Feminizing Makeup Tutorials? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

"Passing" especially for others is not the goal, although none of us can deny that is does feel good when a stranger even for a second correctly genders you.
Although, it sucks like hell if they "correct" themselves right afterward.

Looking for tutorial recommendations, because I have watched a few that were not that informative and kinda condescending.

I have been kinda winging it with the makeup knowledge my Ex taught me, but kinda think I could do better.

The title of her video is a lil aggressive, but this tutorial by Victoria Rose is fairly recent and pretty helpful. She also has this video which goes over a lot of the basics of feminization with makeup. There's also this one by Samantha Lux which is also a basics video covering feminization styles.

@emi What worked best for me was going in to Sephora and getting a makeover there. She didn't know how to deal with trans features and did an awful job, but I walked away from it with a lot of useful techniques that let me start experimenting in a meaningful way. It also meant that I could watch short tutorial videos and make sense of what I was watching
